Walls suspended From Roof

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 One of the queerest structures in the world is an electric-station build- ing at Cristobal, in the Panama canal zone. The roof is supported by power ful central columns and the side walls bear no weight whatsoever but are suspended from the caves by means of canfilever beams. On one side of the building the wall is made fast to the foundation with anchor bolts This unique construction was adopted to prevent the building from settling at a dangerous angie, should an earthauake tremor shift the foun- dation.

HOW KATIE WAS READY" FOR
HER WEDDING.


There was a reflection Of the
pleasure / had felt in getting ready
for my own wedding in the help I
was able to give Katie in her simple
preparations.
Katies volatile nature dubbed
into almost constant smiling chatter
as she flew about the house hurrying
through with her homework that
she might find time TO work upon
her simple rousseau.
/ had presented her with the ma
terial for her wedding gown, and.
indeed. had provided practically all
Of her outfit. had suggested 10 the
girl that she be married in the
pretty little blue coat suit had
provided for the short, inexpensive
trip which size and Jim were 10 take
and for which Dicky had provided
the FUNDS. But Katie's face had
fallen and her expressive lower lip
had trembled when l had spoken Of
it.
"Oh, dear Misses Graham" she
had said mournfully. you so gOot
TO me / want 20 do joost vot you say
but 7 no feel married to Jim one
bit if I no have me white dress and
wreath and veil like girls in my
country"
OF course capitulated at once. II
would have been a harder heart
than mine that could have resisted
her eyes and her tremulous smile
and Katie and I had spent a day i'm

money 7 had saved from my Lotus
Study club salary.
] had carefully kept that money
separate from that given me by
Dicky. It was a foolish feeling. per
haps but il seemed more mine be-
cause I had earned it. Out OF il
each week conscientiously paid
Katie's wages. and put the rest i'm
a checking account. so that I could
draw any of it at any time for any
little expenditure for which / did
not feel like taking the hOusekeep-
ing money
But ? did not begrudge spending
il on Katie. It was only because Of
her faithful. efficient service that I
was able to- earn this money for my
self I felt so much relief at the
knowledge that Katies marriage was
not TO deprive me of her services
that / would gladly have spent twice
the amount 7 did upon her.
Why Katie Smiled.
Dicky's mother at first was highly
.ncensed at what she termed my
criminal generosity TO the girl But
after I had carefully explained TO
her that 10 was my own money, not
Dicky's. that I was spending. she
felt better. And when Katie, an
nouncing her intention Of making
everything nice and clean" before
she went away. went through the
house like an Industrious whirl
wind, sweeping securing, washing
windows. Mother Graham perCept-
IDLY thawed toward her.
THE girl really seems to have a
sense Of gratitude" she said. as she
watched her one day, and shortly
afterward found her sewing up
some Of Katie's things.
