Mexico Rich in Natural Wealth.

In natural wealth Mexico is one Of
the most favored OF all the lands OF
the earth. Its resources are little
short of marvellous. In gold, silver,
and the various precious stones its
possibilities are tremendous. It is
rich in petroleum. It's forests are i'm
mensely rich~ Its agricultural pos
sibilities are scarcely to be estimated,
SO great are they. In all the elements
OF natural wealth the country leads
all others. As regards climate, Mex
leo, in its higher regions, is a para
disc; and after what was achieved at
Panama, it is safe to say that even
the coast regions may be made per
fectly wholesome and safe.

done the foundations have to be Sc
cured. On account of the great weight
of these skyscrapers-theW oolworth
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 66 of these piers, reaching
down to 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 it solidifies it Is
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 Goose" the engineers
make a 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-

the columns, are anchored into the
piers OF concrete, this being done to
enable the building to resist wind pres

firmly secured construction goes
ahead very rapidly. Great jib cranes
are erected at the very top and used
to lift the steelwork members into
