MODERN TEMPLES oF WORK.

While in other days popes and
princes built churches and palaces
which are still the wonder of the
world, today commerce and industry
are doing work equally impressive,
writes Joseph Pennell in Harper's
Magazine for March. Our modern
mills and docks and canals and bridges
are even more wonderful. They are
our triumphs of art, and vet hardly
any one records their building. We
are so familiar with these master
pieces before our eyes that we pay no
attention to them. We make few if
any records of our greatest monu-
ments our greatest triumphs in engi-
neering and architecture which are
far more amazing than the work of
the past. and quite as well worth re-
cording The mills and docks and
canals and bridges of the present are
more mighty, more pictorial and more
practical than any similar works of the
past they are the true temples of the
present Our mills are as we'll worth
painting as medieval churches; Mime
apolis is as fine as Abb. But it is in
the northwest that the results of ne
cessity and rivalry are most evident.
At sault Ste. Marie the government
has built a series of locks which are
as fine and pictorial as the locks at
Panama, and when in the evening the
huge bridge parts, and rises against
the setting sun. and the great ore
boats slowly steam by, there comes to
pass a transfiguration that no painter
could imagine-the apotheosis of
America. And who could conceive
anything so arresting, anything so typ
ical. as the Jaws with their fierce
teeth. of the Twelfth street bridge at
Chicago? Go to Gary, or Indian Har-
Dor. or any one of a hundred places

For several days after Mr.. North

seeing fairies, he felt very o1diy
about his failure to find any when
he hunted in the forest. You know
Yourself how disappointed you feel

you cannot have something you want.

But when the two weeks of storm

Patriotism. and pork are apparently
synonymous in the congressional die

favors a munitions plant to be erected
at Birmingham, Alabama, which hap
pens to be his home town. Repre-

clared for a similar plant to be To-
Gated in his home town, Toledo, Ohio.
Congressman Taggart long ago spoke
for one for Kansas City, Kan, and so

of the members of congress that the
tariff always has been.
