X Xietter Tram Congretman Whlto, Korth Cmrnllntu of ON SAND Chicago Sky-Scrapers That Are Built on Rafts Impossible to 'I Reach Bed Rock, A Bed of Clay Over Plastic Mud Supports Them "Do you know," said a famous architect tlio other day, "that modern architecture Is a Lugo paradox? Tho honvlost and tallct buildings arc ronlly housos built upon Band or tho mud as tho cnao may bo." 'Than how do thoy stand?" ho was nskod. "Oh thoy aro safe enough. Take tho Park How Hulldlug In Now York. It Is tho tallost commercial structure in tho world, and probably tho heav iest also. It weighs ovor 55,000 tons. which moans a pressure of nnarly 9,000 pounds on each square foot of tho site. It Is about a hundred Union as heavy a load as a good highway bridge Is designed to carry. And yot this onormous load rests upon a bed of flno, wot sand scarcely different from quick sand and a hundred foot deep. "It Is perfectly safe Nenrly 4 000 largo piles were driven In It by a 2,000'pound hammer falling 20 feot, which compacted It until oven thoso tromonduous blows could forco thorn no further, nnd thoy could carry tholr loads of 32,000 pounds onrh. droops of those pllos woro capped with con croto and pyramidal brick tlors woro built on that. Stool beams woro laid on tho lint tier tops to distribute tho loads over tho surface of tho masonry. Home of tho columns carry as much as 3,000,000 pounds each. "Many of our hoavlest buildings arc really supported, on stilts that Is to say, on foundation pllos drlvon through the sand or mud to tho solid rook. "In other cases hoavy buildings are supported un pllos which neither roach to hnrd bottom nor aro drlvon In Arm soil. Long piles aro driven Into very noft mud and silt, Into which they sink ninny feet by tholr own weight nnd by light blows of n steam hammor. If thoy aro driven thoro thirty or fifty feet mid loft undlsturbod a few liourH, It Is found that tho adhesion of tho lotinolouH mud Is so gront that that thsy. can hnrdly bo Btarted again, nnd may be safety trusted to carry heavy permanent loads, which are ronlly supported by the stickiness of tho mud "Tho St. Paul Building In Now York Is supported on a very deep bed of line wt sand which wns only ox unvoted to a dopth of about thirty-two feet. A one-foot layer of concrete wns spread over tho bottom of the pit, nnd on this were set tho real found nttoim. consisting of crossed layers of stwl Iiwuiih mid girders. 'The SpreekloH Ilulldlng In Snn Francisco, whluh weighs over 34,000, 000 pounds,, rent on dens wet sand, an which n solid platform of steel nnd nrtlllelnl stone was laid as a foun dation. This building hns passed un injured through the tent of n severe earthquake shock. "In another big building the col umns are settled un Inverted urches, which distribute their loads over all the space between them. The nrches nre laid on long, wide concrete foot Iiihu. whluh reduce the unit protHiuro RUttloleutly for the line wet snud on Which they ate built. "Few If nuy, tall Imlldlu aro an worse Hull than thoso of Chlenga Uere, only ten or tltteen feet below the Hiirfnoe, Is n orust of day not more tltau ten feet thick, which tloau on wet plastic mud from sixty to 100 feet deep, Pllw more than 100 feet long would be required to reach the hard pen or bed rook, and most of the tall building there really stand on rHt mttN built oh the surface of the ok U has lieeu fuund that a load of SJW0 pound per square foot of olay etirfoK wilt settle slowly for Reveral tuoMtka. After ttetUlHK irkatMi two Inch It will becuHie ataUonary. and my be eoHtlderaUly Increased with eafeiy. "Very often bulkting nre lUllbor ately started atov gnulo. and It le reckoned, that they will sink so many Irnhe." "He stmeluree bwllt on such foundations are perfectly safe," the art-hltMt eoHllHued. "Almost any soft soil can be eueteeefbUy eonquerea nowadays by an arehlteet who know hie hiwtHeee. We Americans are cot the only olo who build on sand HON. GEORGE H. WHITE. !

Judge May . Construe (Oregon Law School Journal ) Tho lending newspapers of this Stnto hnvo boun recently Interviewing many prominent attorneys and mak ing oxtondod commonts upon allegod dofocts In tho taxntlon laws enncted at the last session of our legislature It appoars from such attornoys Inter vlows that thoy aro nearly unanimous In tholr opinions that this law from a legal standpoint is suscoptlblo of but ouo conBtruotlon. And notwithstand ing this fact, as wo undorstnnd some of those IntorvlewB, It Is suggested thnt n suit should bo brought In or der to obtain n decision of our courts for tho ronson that thoy were oxcood Ingly liberal In order to mako laws of feotlvo when public Interests wore In volved. It may be that such attor neys have boen misquoted or In their hnste havo not given clear expression to thoughts Intondod to bo conveyed for every well-Informed lawyor knows thnt It Is beyond the province mid power of a Judge to anact or change laws. Our government was framed so that one department should enact laws, another should construq, and etill another should enforce them. The history or the past taught the framers of our government that the liberties of the people would be tram pled down If the power to enact or change laws and the powor to construe laws were both vested In the same de partment. If tho legislature has failed to do its duty It Is solely responsible to the people, but Judicial legislation Is never warranted, "llftfwonlo. Wrent once the law to yuur autherity: To do a great right do a little wreng: And curb this oruel devil of his will. Portia. It must not be; there Is no power In Venice Can alter a decree established: Twill be recorded fur a precedent; Rd mighty errors, by the same example, Will 'rush' Into the state; it oairnot be."

Concerning the value of the W. C. T. U., she said! "Todny wo are In demand.
