Ruildino Dams on the Ice.

The government engineers on the
upper Mississippi have found that by
constructing the dam on the ice in the
winter they can often build them in
shallow places and across sand bars
which are inaccessible to the barges
and steamers in the summer months,
the Scientific American states. The
work also can be done much more
cheaply.
The willows and rock are hauled
upon the ice by teams and unloaded at
the place where the dam is to be con-
structed. The building crews follow
the same method as is used in the sum-
mer months. A mattress of willows is
made, loaded with rock. second will
low mat laid on top and SO on until a
dam of proper height is const<ncted.
When it is finished, the ice u cut
away and the structure sinks to the
river bed of its own weight. The work
on the ice has been progressing for
three years all along the upper half OF
the river.

steeI in old skxscraner.

Among the first of the tall Office
buildings in New York was the Tower
building, which although only ten
stories high was considered a sky
scraper when completed in 1889. It's
recent demolition has called attention
to its position among pioneer con-
structions of the modern type Office
building and it has been mistakenly
credited as the first example of steel
cage construction. 1t illustrated an
early stage in the development of tall
steel buildings, the different character
of details prevailing only twenty-five
years ago, and affords valuable infor-
nation on the effects of corrosion on
iron and steel members imperfectly
protected through a quarter century of
service.
A careful and thorough examination
made as the building was demolished
showed practically no case Of very bad
rusting, that is, of corrosion sufficient
to impair the strength Of the metal

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is infiamed you can hear a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it lis entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
f1ammation can he taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forevef;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur

PLAY FOR HIGH STAKES
BEACH CLUB AT PALM BEACH IS
GAMBLERS PARADISE.
Reckless spendthrifts Win Occasional
Iy, Though Money Is Almost Invari-
ably Left in the Wide Open
Golfers of the Bank.

The play at the Beach club is worth
studying, being so unlike the usual
gaming. 1t is a sure thing for the
house, yet the most dangerous kind,
the kind where the winnings of a
month may be swept in an hour. The
recklessness of these spendthrifts
who know nothing of money values
makes them dangerous to the house.
They do not play skilfully, place their
bets regardless of accepted rules. and
destroy all the laws of averages. 1
have seen a few play, or attempt to
play, abortive systems" and one or
two try systems learned from a book;
but the majority ignore entirely the
laws of mathematical progression upon
which systems" are founded. The
nominal limit at the club is $1,000 on
a color. although this limit may, be
raised indefinitely by a simple request,
and 1t is not recorded that the pro-
prietors ever refused to permit a
plunger to dive as high as he pleased
provided he could afford it. The
player will stumble upon a run of
luck, or drop a disproportionate bet
upon a single winning number Many
Of them play the long shots steadily
and, of course, occasionally some one
