What q knnf Ia

Probably there is no nautical term
more frequently used than the word
'knot" The word is synonymous with
the nautical mile, or 6,OS0.27 feet, while
as every one knows, the geographical
mile Is $3.50 feet. This would make
the knot equal to LIS Of geographical
miles, and therefore, in order to COM
pare the speed Of boat expressed in
knots with a railroad train, it is neces-
safy to multiply. the speed In knots
by LIS.

NICHOLSON REPORT
IS D|SCRED|TED
Not Believed Assistant En-
gineer Will Draft the
Civic Plan

The rumor that Maury Nicholson as
sstant city engineer, would be designated
by the city to draft a CIVIC plan for
beautifying Birmingham was not taken
seriously at the city hall yesterday. 1t
was reported that he was to be asked to
draw a plan which would be practical on
account of his engineering skill and his
general information about Birmingham.
The officials at the city hall were In
cined to think the report joke, and did
not see fit to make any statement 1t
is said that Mr.. Nicholson has a very
great amount of work to perform without
drawing any park plans and in addition
the park commission has been authorized
to employ an expert for that work. The
park commissioners informed of the re-
port refused to take the suggestion seri-
ously while Judge Lane said some one
was trying to give the city commission
the benefit of his remarkable wisdom by
continually making suggestions.
In connection with the civic plan which
is agreed upon unanimously by all classes
of citizens 1t was understood yesterday
that Charles w. Leayett, the famous
landscape architect of New York, who is
building the PALISADES park plan for Bir-
mingham with park commissioners is we'll
known 1t is believed that Mr.. Leavett
will be in conference with local citizens
and officials while on this trip. He is
enga ged in working out an Improvement
now on the South Highlands.

a Japanese souvenir. Thus two hours

FOR new LIBRARY
Grand Lodges of Kansas Ma
sOnry May Build in Topeka.
Walls of Present Structure Are
In Dangerous Condition.

A magnificent library and office Of
the secretary of many Masonic grand
lodges in Kansas may be erected in
Topeka soon as a result of the weaken
ing walls of the present building at the
corner of Eighth and Harrison street
according to rumors in lodge circles to-
day. It has been discovered that the
walls of the present library of the
Masonic building are cracked and in a
dangerous condition. If it is necessary
to tear down the structure, an impos-
ing office and library for A. X. Wilson,
built on the valuable state square site.
The building at the corner of Eighth
avenue and Harrison street is occupied
by A. K. Wilson, grand secretary and
recorder Of the York Rite Masonic
bodies of the state including the grand
lodge A. F. & A. M. the grand chapter
R. A. M. the grand council r. & 8. NJ.
and the grand commandery OF the
Knights Templar.
In 1905 large reinforced concrete
and steel library and vault addition was
built at a big cost. Large cracks and
bulges in the walls of this addition
have endangered the lodge records ard
the lives of the employees Of the office.
This despite the fact that the build
ing was built on a footing as large
as that used in the state capitol. The
walls alone are two feet in thickness.
Inc Masonic lodges have hired an ex-
pert to look over the weakening walls.
The building is the property of the
Masonic grand lodges OF the state. In
this building is one Of the two most i'm
portant Masonic libraries in existence.
The only competitor is the library Of
the grand lodges Of Iowa. In the To-
peka off1ce of A. X. Wilson Is found
this valuable collection Of books, the
records, literature and accumulated rel
les Of the lodges Of the state. The insti-
tuition is one Of the most well preserved
and managed in the country and is a
vital link in the Masonic chain Of the
United States.
In case 1t il necessary to tear down
the present building. 1t IL predicted that
the grand lodges will build a new struc-
ture OF latest architecture. In all prob
ability the standard library style of
construction Will be followed out, max
