Cubic Foot Cost of the Southern.

He had made study, he said. of the
Southern building. with a view to finding
a cubic foot price. He said the building
has 2,61SoO0 cubic feet He figured the
cubic foot cost at between Al cents and
~ cents, and that the whole cost at the
present time would be Sl,lo0,000.
THAT would be about all the builder
would have to pay. including the archi-
tects fees. 1t might not be what AN
owner might have TO pay. in the way OF
financing and taxes.
Mr.. Brainard said he had paid SIS "A
ton for steel erected two Years ago, and
that only recently he had paid so ton
for simpler steel. This WAS in contrast
to Snowden Ashford's testimony few
DAYS ago. that building steel had In
creased only dollar a ton III the last
two years.
Mr.. Redfield asked what is the base
price of steel at the mill. SiXty-four
dollars a net ton was the last information
on the subject the witness had, and that
was not at the mill. Mr.. Redfeld told
him that Mr.. Ashford's testimony as TO

Eyes of Night Providers.

Many creatures are noctambuIists.
Some have eyes specially adapted to
the conditions OF the night, among
them cats, night birds and night but
terfiies. In the eyes of night animals
the ends of the optic nerve are d.
vided into about 12O,000,0O0 cylindric-
al fibers and $4,000 conical fibers Ac-
cording to Won Kries, the conicaI
fibers perceive dark colors Many ami
mails see clearly in the dark because
in their eyes cylindrical and conieaI
fibers are uniformly intermingied.
The horse follows the road. how
ever dark the night; the owl sees
dark things better than he sees light
things; therefore, 1t Is probable that
the cylindrical fibers OF his optic
nerves are either more numerous or
more powerful than the conical fibers.
