LEANING TOWERS Of
CHICAGO MADE PLUMB

| CHICAGO, Dec. 17--Chicagos three
| leaning towersS' skyscrapers built
/ during the nineties, now are resting
firmly on bedrock foundations eighty
| feet below the surface. The three big
office buildings, among the first III the
| skyscraper class, were originally bullt
on pile foundations and when the
piles settled they were left nottceably
| out of plumb.
An inquiry disclosed that all three
| had been lacked up while foundations
were continued down to the solid rock
and that since the alteration was made
there has been no further settling.
Chicago is underlaid by solid sill
urian deposit of Niagara limestone,
from forty to eight feet down. over it
!! is a loose deposit of blue clay and 9th.
er material.
Some of the first skyscrapers fol-
lowing building methods then in
vogue, were erected on forests of pill
ing, but the foundations proved un.
suited to holding the immense weight
of the big office structures.
Chichgos building laws limit the
height of office buildings to 260 feet
it is impossible, geolosists of the
University of Chicago say, to pile up
enough weight within the limit to
cause any shifting of slipping of the
bedrock foundations. The clay de-
posts above the rock, on the other
hand, are subject to a slight slipping |

ing of retaining dams that would keep
mine tailnes from filling the river
channels in the future and that would
at the same time, conserve the 1looo
water giving protection against win

age for summer irrigation.

the declaration that This is devel-

successful conclusion, would be of inn

Singing masters" for young canaries,

moved from the sound of any other
bird note except the warbling of their
Instructors"
The breeders chief difficulty was
al first found in the fact that normally
ni%ghtingales sing only during two
months Of the year, and his purposes
required a longer uninterrupted per-
Tod Of instruction. for the canaries.
He was finally successful in changing
the moulting, or non-singing, period
Of certain nightingales so that some
sang from May to July. others from
June to August. and still others from
August to October.
Using these birds, ne. kept newlXss
Matched canaries continually. within
hearing Of their warbling. Several
generations Of breeding showed that
birds reared from the original stu
dents ~instinctively possessed the
nightingale MARBLE, and that "instruc-
tA,s" could be dispensed with Tor the
offspring except for polishing or
their singing. T. !.

Moon Had influence.

Santa Clara, Cal, Nov. 15.-Al-
though sun spots had something to
do with the disastrous earthquake
and consequent tidal wave in Chile,
the moon also was a contributing
factor. in the opinion Of Father F. g.
Ricard Of the University Of Santa
Clara observatory.
In u observatory at Santa Clara
we have always held hat great sun
spots on becoming central are q. par
tia cause of earthquakes" said Faith
er Ricard. When the Chilean earth
quake occurred a great sun spot was
in place to strike the earth. For more
than "a years this coincidence be-
tween malignant sun spots and earth
quakes has been repeating ITSELF
0 the other hand it cannot be
denied the moon acts at an angle of
% degrees, where, unopposed by
I gravity, 1t lifts not only the waters of

DEVELOPMENT OF

Kiwanians Hear Talk On
Possibilities of Red and
Red Lake Rivers.

Prot. E. F. Chandler Of the state
university, speaking before the XII
wants club at the noon luncheon and
meeting today, discussed the improve
ment Of the Red and Red Lake rivers.
He told OF the condition Of the rivers,
and gave a brief history OF the
streams from the standpoint Of navi-
cation, showing how the use OF the
rivers for navigation purposes had
been abandoned.
Power Possibilities.
That there Is no possibility Of de-
veloping power in the Red river by
means Of placing a dam below this
city. was the statement of Prof. Chan
der. He said. however. that the Red
Lake river MAS sone power possible
ties, which are now being partly real
ICED, and that the development may
be carried still further. Between
speaker said, this stream is capable
Of development to the capacity Of
$1,000 horsepower. he believes.
Two Projects.
Two projects which might be under
taken in the development Of the two
streams for practical purposes. were
pointed OuL ny 1IOl .SIld!iOAc1. Lax
first, which would be for the purpose
of raising the level of the water and
forming a larger water supply, would
be the building Of a dam a few miles
below this city. This would have no
value from the point Of developing
power, but would make the stream
more valuable for boating and for 9TH
err pleasure purposes.
The second project spoken OF would
be the control Of the level OF Red
Lake river by a of which the
flood waters could be stored. and the
water let down as needed. This prof.
cot has been before the a depart
mont for some time, and the report
presented to the department shows
this basis on which the expense OF
the project should be divided: 80 pc,
