THE CITY BEAUTIFUL
WIND PRESSURE SPECIFIED
IN BUILDING CODES.
The Requirements Should Be RevissJ
and Made Uniform.

How 100 American cities specify
wind pressure for the design Of build
ings is discussed in an article by K.
Fleming Of the American Bridge com
pany Of New York In the Engineering
News. The writer's conclusions are
summarized 10y him as follows:
at might seem that our American
municipalities have exhausted the COM
binations of wind pressure and wind
stress that can be made. The fact
that one code differs from another is
not IN itself a cause for criticism, but
Il code IS decidedly at fault when it
contains absurd or needless require
ments or when its requirements are
not clearly expressed. To assume wind
pressure over a large area at thirty
pounds per square foot and then TO
add the sectional area necessary to
resist wind stresses to that required
for live and dead loads is needless.
Where this is specified in a code it is
evaded in practice. 1t would be far
better to make rational assumptions
and insist on rigid adherence TO them
than to insert in n code improbable
headings or working stresses that will
be ignored In actual construction.
THAT the need Of revision In our
building codes is being felt by the pub
lie is evidenced by the number now
being revised. Although our knowl-
edge of wind action is limited, we
should be able TO come nearer to a
common ground Of requirement for
wind bracinG than we have at present
AS a basis for uniformity the writer
suggests the building ordinances of
Chicago. The paragraph on wind re-
sistance reads:
"'All buildings shall be designed to
resist a horizontal wind pressure of
twenty pounds per square foot for ev.
cry square foot of exposed surface. In
no case shall the Overturning moment
due 70 wind pressure exceed IS per
cent of the moment Of stability Of the
building due to the dead load ouly.'
1.-The paragraph relating to wind
stress reads:
For stress produced by wind forces,
combined with those from live and
dead loads, the unit stress may be in
creased 80 per cent over those given
above, but the section shall not be less
than required If wind forces be neg
lected.'"

Suckinu Fish.

A curious looking object is the suck
ing fish, which has a peculiar disk
fitted to the crown Of its head. By
means Of this it attaches itself to any
fish it choOses-a shark or whale, for
instance, or turtles and even ships
and so it is carried about without any
trouble. When once attached they
stick like glue, and they are occasion
ally used for purposes Of fishing. A
line is fixed to the fish's tail, which is
then set free. AS soon as it discovers
q fish or turtle it takes a firm hold.
In the simplest form Of fishing the line
is dragged in and the sucking fish
hauled up, together with its captive.
In the case of a turtle the fisherman
dives after the line and so secures the
victim.

CITY PLANNING LEGISLATION
New Jerseys New Law an Aid to
Growing Municipalities.

Effective work by commercial organ
izatiOns resulted in the enactment Of
a new law by the New Jersey legisla-
ture last April. There has been on the
statute books Of New Jersey since 1913
a law giving 10 the first and second
class cities the power to appoint mu-
nicipal planning and art commissions
Such power had, however, not been &C.
corded to the smaller municipalities.
Realizing the need for such legisla-
ton for their own community, the di.
rectors of the board of public improve
ment Of Madison, n. j., suggested to
the New Jersey state chamber Of COM
merce the desirability of. cooperating
In the advocacy Of law Of this kind.
As a result the state chamber Of com.
merce appointed a committee which
drafted what was subsequently known
as assembly bill No. 59l. When this
bill was printed by the legislature II
was accompanied by the following
statement:
"In recognition Of the need so fire.
quently apparent of more careful ad.
vance planning of future municipal i'm.
provements. such as streets, parks, pub
lie buildings, etc, and of the location
and design Of public buildings and pub.
lie works OF art, the New Jersey state
chamber of commerce heartily indorses
the foregoing bill and bespeaks for II
the favorable action Of the legislature
at the present session
This bill gives all municipalities ex.
cept first and second class cities (foi
which similar provision has been made
by laws of 1913, chapters - and 100
the power to appoint municipal plan
and art commissions, the members of
which are to serve without pay. Such
commissions are to act in an advisory
capacity to the local municipal govern
ments and are to have no power to In
cur Indebtedness except such as shall
have been provided for and covered by
appropriations previously made by the
local municipal governments"
The new law was signed by Cover

When in 1894. on his second voyage.
Columbus discovered the island Of
Jamaica, it was populated by the Ara

hostile TO him. became friendly on his

before unknown to them.
When later the Spaniards settled the
island they forced the Indians not only
TO do agricultural work in their own
island. but to labor in the gold mines
Of Haiti. So hard We're the Spanish
taskmastcrs that by 1853 the whole
Arawak nation was exterminated.
During recent years G. c. LOngley of
Pelham Manor has been seeking to re-
cover all possible traces of the lost
race. TO that end he spent much time
on the island in exploring the old
kitchen middens or refuse heaps of the
Arawaks, in which he has found, be-
sides shells and pottery and fish. turtle
and cOny bones, many celts or rude
chisels. grinding stones, stone pendants
and 500 objects in all.
The whole collection he has given
to the American Museum Of Natural
History in New York city.
The most interesting objects are the
cylindrical stone pendants. which were
fashioned with sand and stone by
endless rubbing. Pendants Of exactly
the same sort are worn today as in
