. IN THE BICYCLE
ST. LOUIS. July 30. For a number
of years' little attention has been paid
to the bicycle clubs which In times
gone by played so important a part in
the industry and sport. In point of fact
so little has been printed about bicy
cle interests of late that the public
are not well informed on the present
status of affairs. It surprised many to
learn that In these quiet times up
wards of three hundred thousand bi
cycles are manufactured and market
ed annually In the United States.
Some of tho older clubs nave main
tained their organizations -and In the
interim have looked to their social
functions for the life-giving element.
At present renewed . interest is
springing up in various parts of the
country. In St. Louis a can was re
cently issued for a weeting or tne
bicycle riders of the city. The re
sponse was hearty and H resuuea in
the formal organization of a new club
with George Lang, Jr., as secretary.
He is in no wav connected wltn tne
trade but is an enthusiast over all
matters pertaining to bicycling and
Is a forceful writer on the subject It
is learned that the local papers and
Illustrated magazines in and about St.

NEW YORK,N ; July 28. "Cloud
piercer" that, is the name invented
to describe the building for which the
foundations are now being laid at the
corner of Liberty street and : Broad
way.'; Skyscraper was too 1 common
place term for this forty-one story
monster. It Is In a class by. Itself, a
class beyond anything ever known
fortv-on stories will , . tower to V.i
height of 012 feet, topping the Wash
ington monument by Wty-seven feet.
The tallest building in New York
City at the present time' Is the Park
Row Building which Is made up of
twenty -nine stories with a height -of
382 feet. This great height was
reached by s gradual evolution In
building construction which began in
1888, when the Tower Building of 13
stories 'was-put-up at 50 Broadway,
1 under the direction of Bradford L. Gil
bert." This was regarded as a marvel j
in its day and everybody was skep
tical about tho ability of the new won
der to stand alone. But the engineers
and the architect triumphed and the
bulldina' neither toppled over of its
own weight, nor snapped off when the
winds blew. When tne race skywara
reached twenty-nine ' stories It was
thought that,, office buildings had
reached t'helr limit.
But now the Singer Building with
Its forty-one stories! Again the old
questions are brought back with re
newed force. How can tne building
be put up? Will it stand when once
it is erected? What would happen to
the inmates of the building In case
it should catch fire? The architect,
Krnest Flagg, answers these ques
tions confidently,- It can be put up
so that it will not come tumbling
down and It will be built so that it
cannot burn.
When It Is borne In mind that the
Singer Building is to be but sixty feet
square, the problem of securing a firm
foundation for the COO feet of steel
and masonry towering aloft grows
apace.- According to a caretui esti
mate by the engineer in charge of the
building the steel skeleton alone will
weigh 10,000 tons. . j
In the really fire proof building such
as the forty-one story "cloud piercer"
is to be, the steel skeleton 4s sur
rounded and protected by hollow tile.
In the making these hollow brick
have been subjected to a1 heat
of 2500 degrees. They will neither
burn nor crumble when subjected to
any heat less than this, and as the
hottest fire temperatures rarely run
over 1500 degrees, the hollow tiling
is the most efficient protection ob
tainable for a building where human
life must be protected. n
Twenty-nine stories was once de
clared the limit for building construc
tion. That limit has now been raised
to forty-one. -Is that the limit? If
not, where is the point at which the
erection of the tall building must

packages of spirits as forfeited to the
United States by violation of the in

"The best watermelon Is the one
that is thumped and plucked from the

morning and when the dew Is thick.
When placed in the splnghouse - it
takes on the proper temperature. The
tennis player, the golf player or the

when the appetite is sharp. A long,
sharp knife discloses it rich, red and
juicy sweetness, and the hungry man
