TOWER OF BABEL A MIDGET.

 Big Buildings and the Pyramids.
 It has long been the popular impress sion that the modem effort to pierce the clouds with skyscrapers is but Q feeble imitation at the work of those ancient sons of %oah whose memory Is perpetuated in tue Bible. Reading In the eleventh chapter of Genesis, where It tells of ,ae people attempting to erect the Tow,' of Babel, whose top may reach uutg heaven" 1t strikes one that they must Live gone farther toward realizing thcig ambition than we of today may ever pc to do.
 But as a matter O. fact when the Lord halted building operations by confOunding the wOr CTS language and scattering them broadcast over the earth the summit of tie tower was but one stude, or COG feet 9 inches, from the level Of the plain.
 The Ziggurat, or temple tower of Babylon. is described by HerOdotus as having eight stages, each somewhat narrower than the one directly beneath 1t The top was reached by a gradual ly rising spiral ascent, and on the top most tier was q shrine wherein the god Marduk was supposed to dwell bio dorus says this shrine contained three colossal golden images-OHe of Bel, one of Beltis and the third Of Rhea or lsh- tar-together with two golden llons' two enormous silver serpents and golden table forty feet long and fifteen feet wide.
 The tower, as the Bible sets forth was built of brick, with slime for nor tar. This slime. 1t Is believed, was natura! asphaltum obtained from near by springs. Ages after the building operations had been interrupted by the Makers wrath NebuChadnezzar under took, with indifferent success. to restore the ruins to their former stnte.

bile of Blrs NLmroud, which stood ih Borsippa, eight miles from the ancient city of Babylon. Its sides were from s75 to G48 feet long, and the edifice still rises to q height of 153 feet.
 The next structures in point of an- tlouity are the pyramids of Egypt These are the oldest and most mystert- ous of mans works still existing. But thev are not really so tnll, considered fin the light of present day achieve ments. The greatest, known as the Great Pyramid of CheOps or Khufu, was originally 4S1 feet 4 inches high and 755 feet square at the base. The second-that of Chepnren or Khafra- was 472 feet high and 7O6 feet wide. The third-that of Mycerinus or Men kaura-was never completed, but 1t stood, nevertheless, 215 feet high and 946 feet square at the base.
 In all nearly seventy of these pyra- mids have been located, and, inasmuch as they all appear to have been royal sepulchers, 1t is the belief that the dynastles of the builders covered pe- riod of nt least a thousand years. The area of the Great Pyramid is more than thirteen aCres-abOve twice as great as that of St. Peter's at Rome. The passages leading to the chambers con talnlng the royal mummies dehed de- tectlon for thousands of years, only to be torn open at last and their contents ruthlessly made away with.
 Of modern edihces the tallest by far Is the great Eiffel tower of Paris, whose steel webbed structure pieTces the blue to a height of 0S4 feet Then comes the Woolworth building in New York, the loftlest office building in the world, its ;lfty-hve stories rising 75O feet into the mir. The height of others Is: Metropolitan Life building, New York, ffsy stories, 700 feet 8 Inches; Singer building, New York, forty-one stories, 612 feet 1 inch; Washington monument Washington, 555 feeti Co logne cathedral spire, Cologne, Ger many, 517 feet; Rouen cathedral spire, Rouen. France, 402 feet; cupOlu f-St Peters, Rome, 4GO feet; St PauIs' London, 3G4 feet
 The lofticst Obelisks ever constructed are those mentioned by Diodorus Slcu- Jus, which rose 15S feet and were eleY- en feet thick at the base and seven feet thick at tho top. One of the worlds largest domes is that of the Roman Pantheon. I42 feet in diameter and 143 | feet high.
 The ancient peoples were great for their methods of embalming, for their art, their literature. their general cuI' ture.
