Passing: of Greatest Engineering Frcnlc of the Century. When the Ferris wheel to sent to the scrap heap a thing likely soon to happen, says the Chicago Evening Post the greatest engineering vagary of the century will have passed Into that obliv ion reserved for fads, flying machines and perpetual motion contrivances. Not that the great Ferris wheel Is any of these, but simply because It never could serve any practical use, because It embodies no distinctly new principle In engineer.ng, and because It has a mervellous faculty of emptying the coffers of those who try to make Its huge bulk earn even a small cost of maintaining It to say nothing of the cost of original Investment. As one of the wonders of the World's Fair of 1893 perhaps the chief wonder the Ferris wheel stood unique. Its great size, marvellous construction and distinct novelty made It not only the crowning fea ture of the Midway, but the gospip of four continents. During the continuance of the exposition more than 1,500,000 visit ors from all quarters of the globe rode in its suspended cars, and from a height of 2G1 feet caught a blrdseye glimpse of the fairgrounds, the lake and tho distant city. Though less than a third the height Oi. "h Flffi Tower, of the Paris exDOsItlon. the Ferris wheel was a much greater won der. The Eiffel tower was merely a con tinuous projection of successive towers one Hnnn another. Given a suitable base. Its construction 9lmply meant the stringing of Iron and steel straight Into the air. But in the Ferris wheel something new In construction was accompusnea new "because ot Its great size. Conception of Genius. It was the projection- of a gigantic cir cle, carrying thousands of tons of steel and Iron suspended from an axte and readily movable by the application of ma chinery. To have budlt the Ferris wheel simDlv to stand upon Its periphery would have'been a comparatively slmp.e task. To suspend this mass of metal from a central point and give It motion was the concep tion of genius. Eiffel and his englneeres were three years building the tower In Paris. The Ferris wheel was constructed and carrying paasengers within four months. The Idea of erecting this great wheel came to George Washington Gale Ferris, a native of Illinois, and an engineer for the Pltts hjirg Iron Company, about a year before the opening of the World's Fair. Mr. Fer ris was then known as one of the most expert bridge builders In America, If not In the world, but when his scheme was mentioned to other engineers It was promptly pronounced chimerical. Some went even so far as to laugh at It. and not one dreamed the project ever would get beyond the speculative stage. But Mr. Ferris was persistent, and, besides, had faith In himself. Courageously he set to work and succeeded In Interesting suffi cient capital to warrant him In ordering material for the wheel. About $25,000 was spent In plans, tests, etc., "before the actual construction of the wheel began. Some 30 firms took part In Its making, and a Chicago firm saw to its erection. When ready to be turned the Ferris wheel had cost $362,000. and had consumed about 8.000,000 pounds of Iron and steel. The movable part of it weighed 4.200,000 poundc, and It required two en gines of 1000 horsepower each to keep It turning. And so nicely adjusted were all the parts, so well balanced was the great steel circle with its 36 cars, capable of carrying 2160 persons, that it was un der as full control as a sewing machine or a pony engine. Once or twlc during tho World'9 Fair the motive power needed adjustment, but the only results so far as the public was concerned, were humor ous Incidents, which gave the newspaper men a few columns of anything but dull reading matter. It Is barely possible that, had the world's fair lasted a year or two, the ' Fcrrl3 wheel might have paid for Itself. OLDS & KINO Summer Opening Men's Underwear LIGHT WEIGHTS IN WOOL. MERINO.

EVERY PAIR STAMPED GLORIA ON THE SOLES. $3.50 PAIR FOR ANY STYLE. This Is based on the assumption that it would have continued to be a novelty for 12 months or more. As It was, the gros3 earnings of the wheel during the fair were $812,000. About one-fifth of this went to the stockholders as profits. The power necessary to operate the big wheel would have run a cotton factory of 100,000 spin dles and 3000 looms, and employing GOOD operatives. The boilers of the power plant consumed coal like an ocean liner. No other single feature of the exposition rep resented such an expenditure of energy. But the fair lasted only six months, and the Ferris wheel ceased paying dividends with the closing of the exposition gates. Had It gone from Its place on the Mid way direct to the scrap pile or to Coney Island, as was at one time suggested, more than one Chlcagoan would hava been some thousands of dollars richer to day. The wheel that was such a drawing card on tho shores of Lake Michigan, where the surroundings were somewhat proportioned to its size, was moved to the north side of the city and placed In a space so small that the cars hung over other property while the wheel was re volving. There It has- turned occasionally for the last lew years, eating up coal, piling up cost, an eyesore to its owners. What has the big wheel cost to date? Deducting the sum paid to stockholders during ths world's fair, and counting as part of the cost what It has lost to its owners, it Is safe to say that $1,000,000 will not cover the total. To move It from Jackson Park to the North Side cost alone $175,000, and It Is figured It will require an expendltura of at least $25,000 to take it down and re move it from where is now stands. The Orsan-Grlnder. Beside the curb, out In the street, P The organ-grinder stands. With stubbles on his swarthy face And very dirty hands. And while you curse him plays away Like twenty German bands. The rae-tlme airs you gayly hummed A year or two ago, Forth from the box he wheels around In Jangling torrents flow The waltzes always hard and fast. The marches mild and slow. I often think Pandora must Have chanced along one day. And opened up the box the first Poor Dago had to play. And thus ungraciously let all Eut discord get avay. Chicago Times-Herald.
