ABOVE THE CROWD.
Birmingham NeWs.)

! Up there in the sky, on the tops of
buildings so tall that the street is but
faint echo of life, children are born
and reared and have their life. The
roof is their street, their dooryard,
their garden, yes, and sometimes their
schoolhouse.
The skyscraper has wrought it in
many American cities, skyscrapers and
the new phases of life brought about
by skyscrapers.
There is no danger of flying auto,
no fire engines to fear. Until airships
are a real hazard the sky-born baby
has no corresponding danger. Only the
rails or copings that guard the edge
of these skyscrapers need be matter
of solicitude.
Most often, perhaps, the family so
reared is the family of the skyscraper
janitor or Waterman. But the delights
of the roof explain the choice by
many men and women, who find this
form of ''high life" worth choosing for
it's own sake.
The use of the roofs of skyscrapers
is becoming more and more an accept
ed thing in the large cities, and one
may now find little world that seems
to have dropped from fairyland, and
pleasant, practical fairyland at that.
The hanging gardens of Babylon
were marvels of beauty and comfort
ages ago, but Twentieth century seek
ers of ease, air and quiet are begin
ming to realize the uncommon pleas
ures of living atop of modern sky
scraper. Think of being whisked to
the roof of lofty office building, and
of finding there home, sweet home"
in veritable little paradise, high
above the noise and confusion of the
street
Roof gardens and restaurants have
long been in vogue in large cities, but
now persons who must spend their
summer months in towns claim that
'bungle-highs" in the roofs of sky
scrapers are, in many respects prefer
able to bungalows at the seaside or in
the country.
We would hardly expect to find a
home complete with a flower and
vegetable garden atop skyscraper
in the heart of the business district
of any large city Well, they exist just
the same. Many of the modern struc-
lures of to-day now have at least one
model roof apartment, arranged for
the family of the janitOr, engineer or
superintendent of the building, who,
stories and stories above the street,
combine the city and suburban life.
H. ]. Jongeblood, with his wife and
five children, makes his home on the
twentieth story of a New York sky
scraper. Two of the little Jongle-
bloods, William and Alfred, are very
distinguished citizens of lower Man
haitian, for they are said to be the only
twins born in a skyscraper home. In
fact, they are known as the "Skyscrap
er Twins" and in their "Jack-and-the-
Beanstalk" home they have played
and gardened from babyhood. The
father of the family is very fond of
flowers and likes fresh vegetables and
every season has flourishing vegeta-
BILE and flower garden back of his
lofty home, where, in summer, ham
mocks and swings are hung and
hedges of flowers scent the air.

the explosion of a gas bomb or an
internal machine. Two women guests
Of the wife Of Speaker Scvigny were
overcome by smoke and persisted.
Several policemen and fremen were
buried under debris when one end Of
the building collapsed.
The number of persons taken to
hospitals had not been determined
early this morning. Frederick F.
Pardee, chief liberal whip and Will
liam S. Loggie, a member of parlia-

their lives.
It has been established that the
first burst of flames in the reading
room of the house Of commons was
preceded by at least one explosion
and probably by two. The force OF
the concussion was so severe that
persons standing some distance away
were hurled to the floor. A rid in

OF the fire already has been under
taken by the dominion authorities.
Aid Sent From Montreal
The flames spread with such amaz-
ing rapidity that the Ottowa fire bri-
gade was helpless to cope with them.
Aid was sent from Montreal on a
special train, but at o'clock this
morning the frs still was raging.
The loss cannot be estimated in

The annual meeting of the Logan

be held in the Booster Club rooms
next Tuesday night, marks the com

porous year. The Society this year
has more than doubled the amount
of business done during the two pre-

show a substantial increase.
In the three years just c,osed the
Society has furnished its members
over $4,000 with which 10 build
homes. A stroll through the town
will discover over forty of them,
beautiful and attractive which these
funds have helped to bui'd
The directors are anxious that all
of the people should take part in
this home building movement. There
are two very important reasons why
every citizen of Logan should become
a member. First, that for every do
lar he puts into the Society he will
receive a substantial return in divi
dends and second, he will be contrib
uting directly toward the building UP
of his town.

has been accomplished for each sub
