WHY BRICK CHIMNEYS LEAN
Reason Generally Ascribed Is Alter.
nate Wettino and Drying to
Which They Are Subjected.

Between the wagon builder, alter
nately wetting and drying a board to
bend II TO the desired shape, and the
house chimney, grotesquely leaning to-
ward the east. brick masOns say there
Is similarity. The leaning chimney is
subject on which even the doctors
disagree, but the theory referred to
seems the most plausible.
Chlmneys lean toward the east. A
little observation anywhere will prove
this. Even the best-built affair OF
brick and mortar, acquiring age, often
begins TO lean. Various theories are
advanced, but the explanation Of al
ternate wetting and drying seems the
best.
Chimney walls collect more or less
moisture during the night, on all sides.
Now, IL the broad side of the chimney
Is toward the east, and If the sun
strikes that part Of the chimney first,
that side dries out much quicker than
the north or south side, or the western
side. In time of rainfall. the east side
ordinarily is dried the quickest. This
general condition has the effect of
pulling the chimney toward the east.

whole matter over to the proper bu-
reau for investigation, two facts led
me in another direction-I was suffi-
ciently young to seek adventure, and
| desired to verify my suspicious be-
fore creating any false alarm.
As l rested there, sleepless, staring
up at the black ceiling, the words of
the strange fragment of letter re-
mained vividly before me. Little by
little dug at the truth, coming finally
to this conclusion: "10S" was, no
doubt, the recognized number of some
agent who had been dispatched to
America on a special errand to the
cOnspiratOrs in this country. He had
sailed Saturday, a month ago, or more,
and must have long since arrived at
some port, bringing with him instruc-
tiOns not TO be intrusted to the mail,
and sufficient money, in form of letter
OF credit, with which to finance what
ever nefariOus scheme of revolution
might be contemplated. This money
was to be paid out to the authorized
party through a man named Krantz.
Who was Krantz? There was a we'll
known banking firm, Kulb, Krantz &
Co, in Wall Street, and IT was quite
probable these might prove the ones
involved, although TO my knowledge
they had no outward junta connec-
tiOns of this nature. "Gans" was evil

none bearing so peculiar appellation
while the password was In itself proof
almost positive as to the South or Gen.

spiratOrs.
These facts were fairly clear as ]
thus weaved them together, but they
were rendered more damning by the
other name mentioned-WaldrOn. II
this was Ivan WaldrOn, had good rea-
son TO know the fellow, and to con-
meet his activities with any scheme
destined to embarrass the government.
He was a professional agitator Of the
most pronounced type, socialist radi-
cal, who in the past had openly advo-
Gated opposition to all law and order.
Moreover, the fellow had a large and
desperate following, to whom he was a
high-priest. He was reported to be a

THEIR ESTIMATES TOO LOW
Proof That Engineers Have Erred in
Their Figures Concerning the
Weight of Crowds.

Interesting experiments were made
some time ago at Harvard university
which seem to demonstrate that Ell
gineers usually underestimate the
maximum loading caused by dense
crowds on bridges, floors and plat
forms. Forty men averaging l63
pounds in weight placed In a box six
feet square caused an average pres
sure of Isl pounds to the square foot
on the floor
An engineer has estimated the
weight per square foot of the densest
crowds on the New York elevated rail-
ways at only 4j pounds, but since the
Harvard experiments the opinion has
been expressed that the maximum
loading on the elevated cars and plat
forms may be nearer Isl than 10
pounds. This applies to other close
packed crowds.

What the Lord Said.

The one thing Indispensable in the
service of Christ we can learn no.
where else except at His feet. Here
is the spiritual secret which makes a
saint so potent for the highest good.
For it is true of a saint that "the least
of his words and actions may be OF
more vital effect in the world than
the life's labor of any or the herd Of
benevolent people who are busted
about much serving" Our Lord said
concerning His chosen friends: "For
their sakes l sanctify, l cOnsecrate.
Myself" Even when we set apart all
that was unique IN His self-cOnsecra-
tSOn-all that He alone could, once for
all. achieye-thOse solemn words come
home TO every disciple. For their
sakes l cOnsecrate myself.
