Then came a roar of explo. alon that oonded almost like the con tliiuou rattle of a gatllng gun, There l no woodwork on the viaduct except the tie, which are embedded in atone ballast j but five second after the first report, the entire ttrurture appeared to lie blazing, and a huge eloud of moke rolled up. Then stream of molten iron' nnd copper began pouring down Into the Kreet like 10 much water, and heavy iron pipe, wlrei and iteel rail melted into a whit hot fluid a rf they were made of wax. Firemen dared not turn on a stream of water for fear that it would act a a conductor and cau them to be eloctrucuted. For half an hour the deitroying current had ill way.

Altogether i it looks as if the question, "Whose Lake j Is the Pacific!" might, during the warm 1 weather at least, tie safely classed with ' that other vexing but unprofitable pro i Mom, "How Old is Ann?": I The sagging of the centvnl span of the j Rrooklyn Bridge a few days ago, which : resulted tn tearing asunder on of the j big steel suspenders unholding the road I way, gave rise to the 'usual series of 1 summer rumors to tho effect that a dis , aster wns impending which would be certain to occur during tho morning or evening rush, when the structure is loaded with hundreds of electric cars and thousands of passengers. As a mater of act, if the span had not sagged, j it would have been more alarming, for I it is built to Bag in Summer and rise ! with the contraction of the steel in Win ter, but there is always an alarmist ; rendy to start the report that it threat en disaster? Even with the relief af- firt rvglmcnt of volunteer recruited for the Union army at the outbreak of the Civil War itopped there on iti war South from New England, and after that all through the War, military and naval officer and civil leader made the place a rendezvous. In 1387 Prince De vowongat of the Siamese royal house, and four ton of the King of Siam dined at the table and received guest in one 0 it most luxurious suite. The flrt passenger elevator id New York wa in stalled there, and a tablet now mark the aite, just off the main corridor.

This 1 almost double what it brought ,"v dally except Sunday at when the Emo estate was settled tin f p. m. twelve year ago, The enormou prices to which New taavai Portland Dally Except Sunday ork real estate has risen within the " 7 a. en. last few year has been responsible for many curious structures to take ad vantage of small or oddily shaped lots. Qulok 8rvioe Exeeilent Meali O: these the Flat iron Building is the ' -t known. Plans have just been filed with the Building Department, however for the erection of a structure on what is classified in the permit application as the smallest lot in Manhattan, which is at the southeast comer of Delancey and Norfolk streets. This lot is WO feet deep and only two ami a half feet wide. As the space is hardly large enough ev en lor me compressed quarters ot a metropolitan flat, the owner has deci ded to eretc on it a huge brick wall, thirty-five feet high, a 'foot thick, and reinforced with buttresses to make it steady. This novel structure will cost $5,000, nnd will 'no doubt prove profita ble as investments in New York real estate usually are. The upper part of the wall will be rented out for sign boards. Below will be placed awnings nnd the four feet of area wav which the city allows beneath thenr will be rented out for' bootblack and fruit stands and selling booths of various kinds. Good Bertha.
