Fastened to the living rock. the mod
ern skyscraper Is builded, as far as con-
Germs its foundations, upon the same
eternal principle as the pyramids In
the construction of the new Equitable
building in New York its massive, sup
porting concrete piers have been sunk
through forty-five feet of sand and
water, and then carried down twenty
feet deeper to an anchorage on the solid
rock. These piers were constructed by
use of pneumatic caissons. which Were
sunk to hard pan and sealed. Below
hard pan the excavation was made with
out sheeting or other retaining.
All four sides of the building area, 312
by 167 feet, are inclosed by rectangular
piers which extended from about ten feet
above the ground-water line to the sur
face Of the rock. Eighty exterior piers
were built. The caisson work involved
about 1900 yards Of excavated earth
and the same amount of concreting. The
placing of the interior piers necessitated
the removal of 5000 yards of earth and
the laying of an equal yardage of con-
crete. With these solid foundations in
place, the superimposed skyscraper might
hope to endure until the day of final
reckoning and until the pyramids them
solves fall.

though she hummed to herself as if it
made her very happy to work so.
AT first Peter didn't understand what
it meant. but after a while it came to
him. When she flew away in such a
hurry she was taking the honey she had
gathered to her storehouse! OF course.
How stupid he had been not to think
of it in first place. And. OF course,
she took the very shortest way to get
there With that load of sweets to
carry she wouldn't waste any time. but
would get there quickly as she could.
And because up in the air there was
nothing in the way she would go in a

at work getting honey from the newly
opened flowers. Just as usual, she was
too busy to talk. This time Peter didn't

that he would follow her. and SO ne
didn't care whether she talked or not.
Pretty soon Busy Bee few straight up

then she headed straight for the Green

It was then that Peter said that little
verse.
But Busy Bee did give Peter the slip.
You see. no one can run their hardest
and watch a tiny speck UP in the sky
at the same time. Peter found this out
before he had taken three jumps. He
had just got to see where he was going
or there was no knowing what trouble
he would run into head first. So he
looked to see where he was going. and
when he looked up in the sky again
Busy Bee was nowhere to be seen.

A few minutes elapsed, when q sharp

Apart from its romance and descriptive
charm, this work possesses historic value
in that it pictures tho golden-glamor days
Of southern California. when world-over
adventures gave to its social life a dra-
matte coloring in contrast to the duil
conventionalities of commerclaliZed To-
day. The story concerns a young lawyer
who seeks his fortune in st. Agnes,
which, incidentally, is so realistically de-
seribed that 1t might be Santa Barbara in
stead; and the many types who people the
book and who affect the heros progress
for good or bad range in character from a
holy padre to a villain from the east. Ro-
mantle love affairs weave in and out OF
the plot like SO many golden threads. and
there is mighty temptation fought as
only brave man can fight. and which
ends in two-fold victory of human sue
cess and spiritual redemption.
