told the Society Of Arat recently "one

81 am so far modern that ! have
come TO the conclusion that what IS
wanted is aw that every briifir~

OF 20 years, and new one erected.
That would get rid of old cottages.
We have got into the incorrigible
habit of sponging on the past.
Every generation ought TO be able
to produce its own art and all this
worship of the past can only be got
rid of by a wholesale destruction Of
all the monuments of the past.
IF we could avoid the wholesale
destruction of human being invo we'd
by great war. l should be glad to
have half dozen greai wars in
Europe so that all the old buildings
might be knocked down, thus forcing
us by sort of starvation to make
our own architectural efforts"

FURNACE COMETS"
OVER PITTSBURG
Strange Sight Due to Light from Blast
Furnaces and Atmospheric
Conditions

Conditions
Pittsburg. Feb 3S-Intense b'ast
furnaces activity, combined with low
temperatures, has in recent weeks
given to the Pittsburg district some
of the most beautiful furnace com.
cts II has ever seen. But they are
gradua ly losing their bril.iancy and
with the approach OF spring, scientists
say, they will vanish until favorable
conditions reappear next winter.
Furnace comets" are great broad
shafts of yellow light which pierce
the black background of a murky sky
In a most spectacular manner. They
dash almost without moments no.
tice and fade almost as quickly only
TO reappear as bright, If not brighter
than before, Usually there are two
of them at times rising perpendicu-
ar, but oftener cutting the sky like
the beam from a searchlight.
Scientists at the Allegheny Observa-
tory explained the lights by saying
that the light from blast furnaces
penetrates the atmosphere above the
city to q great height, and there being
caught by frost crystals send back
the reflection In the form OF broad
bands. For years they have passed
almost unnoticed until this year
when, because OF the continued opera.
tion of large numbers OF furnaces,
they became much more frequent and
much more beautiful.
