Eiffel Tower (a steel skeleton) __984
New York, Feb. (5.?Two thousand
workmen are engaged day and nighx
in putting the finishing touches upon
the Woolworth Building, which is to
completed within a week or two and
the completion of which is to be celebrated
at a big banquet to be given
next montn. i ne building, now almost
completed, holds the record for
height among all buildings ever
erected by man. It is true, the Eiffel
Tower in Paris is 234 feet higher,
but it is a mere steel skeleton and
cannot be classed as a building in
the sense accepted for that term. The
building proper which occupies an
area of 30,000 square feet, is 884
feet high and is surmounted by a
tower 80 by 84 feet, rising 366 feet
above the main part of the building.
The work of excavating for the
foundations was begun on November
4, 1010. Sixty-six caissons were
sunk to a depth of 115 feet until
they reached solid rock and the six
concrete piers, resting upon the
rock, constitute the foundation of
the structure. The foundation was
completed in the fall of 1911, when
the erection of the steel frame wan
begun. The latter was completed in
.juiy ui iasu year ana me dtick ana
stone work was completed at the beginning
of the present year. Twentyfour
thousand tons of steel went
into the making of the building and
the total weight of the structure is
estimated at 250,000 tons.
Fifty-five Stories High.
The building has fifty-five floors,
twenty-five of which , are in tha
tower, and the aggregata floor span
is about thirty-three acres. The
h"'H'n?r ->nd tower together contain
about 2,000 offices, with 3,000 windows
and as many doors. To enable
the occupants of the building to
a eh their respective floors there
are thirty-four passenger elevators,
of which twenty-four are grouped
tear the Broadway entrance, while
the others are near the entrances
from Barclay street and Park Place.
The equipment of the building, when
fully completed, will be thoroughly
modern and as nearly perfect as it is
possible to make it. The fiftyfourth
floor will be used as an obses
vatory and on top of the structure,
beneath the gigantic flap, will be
placed a powerful search light. The
twenty-eighth floor will be occupied
by a luncheon club and in the basement
there will be a swimming pool,
a restaurant and a Rathskeller.
Cost $13,500,000
The total cost of the building is
estimated at about $13,500,000, of
which amount $4,500,00 were paid
for the ground. The building was
erected for F. W. Woolworth, who
was norn poor at noaman, in. y.,
April 13, 1852, went through public
school and a business college and in
1879 opened the first "Five-Cent
Store" as Utica, N. Y. The venture
prospered, he extended his business
to other cities and now has a chain
of more than 309 such stores
throughout the country, from which
he derives an enormous income.
More than one-half of the capital re"irofi
for the erectionof the Woolworth
building was contributed by
capitalists in France. The rent roll
of the building is expected to be
about $2,500,000 a year.

1 SCHOOL DISEASES.
Children of school age contract
:h diseases as measles, scarlet fer
and diptheria much more freently
than older persons. All that
has been learned about the modes
of transmission of certain diseases,
riptably diptheria, indicates that the
tkking of a large number of children
?t from their restricted family and
Aighborhood relationships and bringing
them into contact with a much
larger group will increase the opportunities
for infection. As regards
(If^ortunities for infection furnished
by the school, it must be admitted
that while the slate, the commoa
annaing-cup ana tne roller towel are
fast passing away, sufficient facilities
for the transfer of disease germs
still exist in the friendly exchange
| of pocket handkerchiefs, lip-moisten^
ed lead-pencils, chewing gum and the
like. The school play-ground, as
well as the schoolroom, must be considered
in its bearing on the subject
of school diseases. The significance
1 of school attendance on the public
1 health side lies not only in the as'
sembling of children in a room, but
1 also in the bringing into more or less
intimate association a number of
1 children who would otherwise not
' have met at all. Increasing the number
of associates must necessarily
increase the chances of infection.
' Diptheria and scarlet fever show a
' marked increase in the autumn when
1 the schools open and equally defi1
nite decrease in the summer when
1 the schools are closed.
The discovery of the part playea
uy me neanny germ-carrier throws
' li^ht on the probable origin of cer'
tain obscure cases of infection, says
Prof. E. O. Jordan of the University
1 of Chicago in a recent issue of The
Journal of the American Medical Association.
A child in a family in
which a case of diptheria exists may
hear in its throat living diptheria
bacilli without manifesting any sign
of disease. If this child is allowed
1 to enter school a playmate may acquire
the bacillus without in Its turn
becoming definitely ill. This second
child .however, may take the germ
home and pass it on to a non-schoolgoing
child in the same family who
then may develop a typical case of
diptheria. Methods of control of
control of school and institutional
outbreaks of diptheria are therefore
ruining tu ue iocusea on tne aetection
and exclusion of the carrier.
Disinfection of innocent chairs and
l tables and enforced school closure are
I ^"f^neral found to be less effective
than the* dtsfoVftfy SMI lSUlallUll tff
the living bearer of diptheria germs.
When school attendance is regulated
by bacteriologic findings schools epidemics
quickly subside.
Governor Blease refuses to let the
South Carolina militia take part in
the Wilson inaugural parade because,
as he understands, negro militia from
the District of Columbia and from
Maryland will be in the parade.
F. E. Walling, a farmer living near
Yukon, Mo., strongly recommends
Foley's Honey and Tar Compound
and says: "I have been advised by
my family doctor to use Foley's
Honey & Tar Compound for my children
when there was a cough medicine
needed. It always gives the best
of satisfaction and I recommend it
to others."
Tom Henderson, a young man of
Landrum, shot up his town Thursday
night of last week while on a jamboree
and created great excitement
thereby. He was finally subdued and
carried to Spartanburg jail.

have got a bill through the legisla
