With Fels-Naptha Soap the drudgery of
washday vanishes. Did you know that

in twenty five years a woman washes
through a pile of clothes 1000 times her
size? Sounds big enough to brighten
you, doesn't it? But you needn't be
frightened If you know the way to do it
right.
By using Fels-Naptha Soap you can
in half the time it used to take: YOU can
use cool or lukewarm water, because it
works best in that; you can throw away
your washboiler, because clothes washed
with Fels-Naptha Soap don't need boil
ing; you can save your hands, because
the clothes won't need hard rubbing.

n. Y. BUILDINGS HIGH
Skyscrapers Of Gotham Are
MarVels of Height.
WooIworth Structure Is Giant o. All
Being 75s Feet Above the Pave
nent, zoo Feet Higher Than
Pyramid Of Cheops.

New York.-A well-known insurance
company has stated its intention OF
putting up a building that will tower
901 feet into space and possess some
sixty-odd stories. A few months ago
a piece of ground at the junction OF
Broadway and Wall street was sold
for $500 a square foot, or S25.OOO.OOO
per acre. This is the highest price
ever paid for a building site.
The giant among these skyscrapers
is the Woolworth building, which
reaches a height above the pavement
of 756 feet 1t is more than twice the
height of ST. Pauls cathedral and
some 200 feet higher than the Great
Pyramid OF Cheops. A few months
ago the 46-story Metropolitan building
held the palm for height. Its topmost
pinnacle is 685 feet above the level
Of the street IL was this building
which took the record from the AZ

story Singer building, with height or
612 feet above the pavement. Adj0in-
ing this edifice is the City Investment
building, 80 stories high, its roof some
4S0 feet above the curb. Then we
have the Park Row building, the
height from the road to the top OF It's
Flagstaff being no less than 447 feet
and the Times building, which rears
it's head $50 feet into the air, while
the famous Flat Iron structure, with
its 20 stories, attains to some 300 feet.
Two factors have made these edifices
practicable-the passenger elevator or
lift and the steel-cage system OF con-
struction, which enables the architect
to design his building to any height
desired.
Naturally, before anything can be
done the foundations have to be Sc
cured. On account of the great weight
of these skyscrapers-the WOolworth
edifice has a total weight Of 100000
tons-the foundations have to be very
strong. The majority of skyscrapers
rest on concrete piers sunk down into
the earth until they reach solid rock.
The Woolworth building, for instance,
rests on Sc of these piers, reaching
down to a depth of 120 feet below the
level of the street These piers are
really immense steel cylinders known
as caissons. Into these concrete Is
poured, and as 1t solidifies 1T Is
squeezed together under enormous
pressure exerted from above by COM
pressed air. Thus the foundations or
the skyscrapers are as firm and as
solid as the rock on which their piers
rest Sometimes. il the soil below the
surface Is at all loose" the engineers
make a great bed Of concrete. which
forms the rock" and then sink their
caissons into 1t.
AS soon as the foundations are
ready the erection of a steel cage be-
gins. The bottom portion, or feet of
the columns, are anchored into the
piers Of concrete, this being done to
enable the building to resist wind pres
sure. When once the columns are
firmly secured construction goes
ahead very rapidly Great jib cranes
are erected at the very top and used
to lift the steelwork members into
place. AS fast as these last reach their
respective homes they are seized by
the sky workers, as these aerial toll
ers are called, who bolt and rivet them
into position.
AS the steel cage rises higher ana
higher the sky workers have to tread
more circurnspectly and attend more
closely to what they are doing. for
upon each one OF them may depend
the lives of several of his fellows. The
utmost care with regard to the fall OF
tools, rivets, etc, must be taken, TOT
even a small object will acquire
terrific momentum during drop OF
some hundreds of feet. A drift pin
weighing three pounds rolled off
plank on the highest story of the Met
ropolitan building. 1t struck a hange
an the thirty-ninth story, rebounded
into the air and fell on the roof OF
car in the street below with such
force as to pass clean through It.

More than so per cent of all fires the

is unnecessary and criminal. Repairs

Can't Find This Perfect Woman.

Belgium has been trying to discover
the perfect woman. According to
symposium in Brussels, she must pos

elegance of an English girl, the hair OF

the profile of Spaniard. So far the
creature has eluded discovery.
