Immense Timber Building.

The high cost and the difficulty of
securing lumber in large sizes long
ago eliminated wood as structural
material except in falsework, temper
airy construction and structures Of
small size. Machinery hall, now be-
ing built for the PanamaPacific ex-
position is, therefore, of more than
usual interest, since its frame is en-
tirely of wood. 1t has a floor area
of over eight acres and an extreme
height of 1875 feet. Using as it does
about 100000 feet (board measured
of lumber, it is fairly safe to venture
the prediction that it will be the last
great monumental structure to be
built of native timber, and we may
even hazard the statement that never
again will its equal be erected of such
material in this country.-Engineer-

Proverbs 11:1-11.
q A false balance Is abomination to
the Lord; but just weight is his de-
light.
When pride cometh, then cometh
shame; but with the lowly is wisdom.
The integrity of the upright shall
guilds them; but the perverseness OF
transgressors shall destroy them.
Riches profit not in the day OF
wrath, but righteousness delivereth
from death.
The righteousness Of the perfect
shall direct his way; but the wicked
shall fall by his own wickednpks.
The righteousness of the upright
shall deliver them, but transgressors
shall be taken in their own naughti-
ness. ..
When a wicked man dieth, his ex-
pectation shall perish. and the hope
of unjust men perisheth.
The righteous is delivered out of
trouble, and the wicked cometh in
his stead.
An hypocrite with his mouth de-
stroyeth his neighbor. but through
knowledge shall the just be delivered.
