 Chicago, Jan. 2.--A seven-story. 7,5o0 ton brick building was moved S5 feet here with it's elevator, light and telephone service intact and dur ing which it's offices were open to ten- ants who found it necessary to enter.
 The Illinois Central railroad, in its terminal improvements now being made, was presented with the alterna- tive of dismantling the building, or moving it. The structure was erected about 30 years ago but it was in such excellent condition the latter course was taken. The actual moving was accomplished in 24 hours but it re- quired three months preparation. What is believed to be an outstanding engineering feat was described by Hugo Filippi, who superintended the work.
 "Twenty-three tracks, consisting of four or more rails each and extending completely under the building and over the foundation at its new site, were used" he said "The tracks were placed five to eight feet apart and 2,000 steel rollers were spaced about l2 inches. Six hundred thousand board feet of timber was used for cribbing purposes preliminary to lacking up the building and placing it on the rollers.
 -Four capstans, each operated by two horses. were employed as motive power. From each capstan a lead line of three-fourths inch steel wire
