and NYardon, the leading pros of the
world, you could say, were first tied

! While Charley Taft is artistically
evading the sale of the Chicago Cubs,
Charley Murphy must be having a
fine old chuckle to himself. 1t seems
that the 'ousting of Murphy was
only a blind. although it isn't likely
that Chubby Charley" will ever be
so prominent or have to much to say
in the club affairs in the future. But
as to the sale of the Cubs, nothing
definite has been done, nor, from all
appearances, will anything definite
be accomplished in that respect. In
stead Of showing disposition to turn
over the club to Chicago men. as in
timated. Mr.. Taft is cleverly dueking
the issue. He will not name a price,
and no price has been offered So far
sufficient to make him say yes
The Chicago natives are fighting to
get control of the proposition, and
they have offered $3.50, 900 for the club
Besides, they are willing to spend in
the neighborhood of 100000 in fixing
UP the grounds Yet Taft is still
holding out, and in his latest inter-
view he is quoted as saying that the
Chicago club is a paying proposition,
and he may not sell it Mt all.
C
II the Chicago Club isn't sold, how
about Murphy? It was understood
that Charley was to get out whether
or no, but the fact that he is still
the active president of the club is
evidence that he is still very much
on the inside. This latest news from
Mr.. Taft will not set well on the
nerves of Ban Johnson, who cried foi
Murphy's scalp and was promised it
John *. Tener, president of the Ma
tional League. However, it may
come to a question where Tener isn't
big enough to pull off the trick. The
! National League. you know isn't like
the American League. Ban Johnson
| is a car. Governor Tener is only a
president. But the big laugh will
come from Murphy. If things re-
main as they are Murphy will rule
without being the ruler. He will have
a dummy at the head OF the club, bu.
he will be the live Wire at direct
ing. 1t is even believed that Murphy
has overruled Mr. Taft in the present
| business arrangement of the Cubs
Mr.. Taft, it is said, wanted to SELL
but Murphy told him to stick and
affairs would eventually right them
selves. Mr.. Taft. it would seem, is
! taking Chubby Charley's' tip. He
is sticking like glue to his Chicago
holdings, and he is avoiding all over
lures for the sale of the club like all

If making q heroic effort to induce

fold. The president said his league
was strong enough as it is, and that
he didn't want another star. There

Woolworth Structure is Giant Of All,

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
piece Of ground at the junction of
Broadway and Wall street was sold
for $500 square foot. or $25, 10000
per acre. This is the highest price
ever paid for 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. Paul's cathedral and
some 200 feet higher than the Great
Pyramid of Cheops. A few months

age and house drainage are emptied
into streams and ponds. In fact. since
they are open and unprotected, there
are thousand and one different
sources Of pollution. Rain waters
from the roof are polluted by dust,
dirt and leaves, which collect in the

birds.
Surface water supplies should there

poses. unless for washing milk cans
or for laundry purposes. And Il may

drinks water from surface supplies en-
dangers his health If such supplies are

Many diseases may be transmitted
by means of water. and some OF the
diseases are SO uniformly transmitted
by this means that they are known as
"water-borne" diseases. Typhoid. dys-
EMERY and other intestinal disorders
come under this class of diseases, and
consequently 1t is of the greatest i'm
portance that every precaution be
taken to insure pure water supply.
says Bulletin No. So OF the United
States department of agriculture.
Farm water supplies may be divided
into threes classes. In the order of
their liability to pollution these are
surface supplies, shallow underground
supplies and deep underground sup
plies. The surface supplies are OBJ
tanned from streams, ponds, reservoirs
and cisterns; both shallow and deep
underground supplies are obtained
from dug, bored, driven or drilled
wells. and from springs.
The Investigations Of X r. heller

story Singer building, with height of
612 feet above the pavement. Adioin-
ing this edifice is the City Investment
building, 80 stories high, its roof some
$50 feet above the curb. Then we
have the Park Row building. the
height from the road to the top of its
fiagstaff being no less than 447 feet,
and the Times building, which rears
its head $50 feet into the air, while
the famous Flat Iron structure. with
Its 20 stories, attains to some 800 feet.
Two factors have made these editices
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 10000
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 Is of these piers, reaching
down to a depth of 100 feet below the
level of the street These piers are
really immense steel cylinders known
as caissons. Into these concrete Is
poured, and as IL solidifies 1t Ia
squeezed together under enormous
pressure exerted from above by com
pressed air. Thus the foundations Of
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 great bed of concrete. which
forms the rock" and then sink their
caissons into it.
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 az the very top and used
to lift the steelwork members into
place. As fast as these last reach theil
respective homes they are seized By
the sky workers. as these aerial toll
ers are called, who bolt and rivet then
into position.
! AS the steel cage rises higher ant

more circumspectly and attend NOR
closely to what they are doing. TO
