DAILY CAPITAL JO TO NAI;, BALEM, OBBJION SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1007. THE FOR OCTOBER The American readers of current literature are quick to discover a "good thing." Every month the demand for THE BOHEMIAN at the news stands in this city has been growing. Why? It radiates entertainment. A look into it will rout a smile from the ambuscade of the gloomiest countenance and will brighten a mind weary with following the beaten paths of magazine literature. For THE BOHEMIAN is "different" It is so compounded of snappy, unusual short stories, enjoyable humor, attractive portraits, anecdotes of persons of note, with clever drawings, and sparkling, illustrated special articles of the out-of-the-way kind, that the result is a delightful and peerless entertainer. In the October Issue THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF CUPID whoreln tho little fiod makea a clean breast of lits busy life; HOW A JOKE IS MADE wherein tho master humorist a of America toll tho accrota of their craft; and BEING A MODEL which dives a tlimpso into the methods of the New York atudios. tellnmlml nntl Kitty Story Skyscrapers, it fjtt that two forty-flvo Btory ajtrs aro now pushing up i.'(v York's narrow streets to I tie clouds Is causing tho tp who stop at all hours of tho Tjntch tho Ironworkers dnng- iplJcrs In tho web or stool it Kfltlniully what tho limit 3b skyscraper construction, ffi prominent skyscrnpor nr itl tho head of ono of tho IjMdlng concerns In tho city, "PKen on tho subjoct, du tin week that tho limit wns l'lklant.

Such buildings lit a quartor of a mtlo In t Tork's building prolilom is I tie most remarkable In tho toe major part of tho vnst interests of Manhattan is bkI within an area of lens two squaro nillos.

U ana east by tho oi me bar and 11m ttii0 at fivers, can find an outlet! only by pushing, tho thcatro and rosldont districts slowly to tho north. For Now York has nmplo length for expansion In width. For this lack tho utmost engineer ing ingenuity Is constantly employed to substltuto height. Honco tho building of tho sky scrnpers hns becomo prnctlcally n sclonco of itself.. Two factors limit tho size of build ing In Now York. Tho first Is tho wind. If tho wind novor blow in tho metropolis tho skyscrnpor build er's tnBk would ho greatly simplified, and he could pllo Btory on story to hln heart's content. But tho wind prossuro on a thirty-story building Is something enormous. Tho inodorn skyscrnpors Is built to withstand a wind velocity of 12G milos, nnd thoro Is practically no chnnc-j of Now York getting n might lor blow than that. Tho second factor Is tho limit of tho building's haso. With land In tho financial district soiling as high as $700 a squaro foot tho bnso of a building la naturally not n hugo thing, if tho skyscraper could have an unlimited bnso It could lmvo an uulimited holght. Boforo over n Bpadoful of oarth h 'dug for a foundation tho skyscrnpor must bo weighed. It Id weighed with paper and pencil, and hundreds of sheets aro covorod with figures. Tho great girders and boanis, stone, camont, dosks, human bolngs and ovon nuts and rivets, aro carofully figured in boforo tho building Is be gun. Ono of tho newest skyscrapers now In courso of construction, at Cortlnndt streot and Broadway, which will, for n tlmo nt least, bo tho largest oillco building In tho Philadelphia. This enormous weight when complotcd 8(5,000 tons, an amount equal to tho combined weight of nil tho inhabitants of Philadelphia. This onormotiH wolgrt will bo plnccd on a plot of ground hardly 25,000 squaro foot In area, or about equal to ton ordlnnry city dwelling Iiousos. Tho Dtool skoloton o tho building has olghty-nlno logs, of columns, which will boar Us whole weight, and tho onginoors hnvo had a most dollcato problem to soo that larly. This led to the belief that at some timo or other tho continont had been connected with Europo by a strip of lnnd, nnd that tho part of North America now west of tho Rockies eithor had been submerged and Is comparatively now land, or olso that it had been separated from tho eastern part by a body of water. Probably western North America did not exist In remoto times. It also Is known by tho same means that South and North Amot ion wero not Joined together until tho middle of tho tertiary porlod, many thousands of years ago, but geologically speaking, recently. Wo are suro that thoro wero other lnnd mnssoa to tho cast and west, and recont investigations hnvo shown thnt Brazil and Africa wero con nected by land long boforo North and South America wero joined, nnd tho connecting ridgo still exists far boncath tho son. This fact is demonstrated bv spider and crab forms which nro analogous in South America and Africn, but which do not exist In North America. Indeed, it Booms that In remoto times Bouthwcst Af rica was not joined to tho rest of tho continont, but was part of n land strip which connected Aus tralia, Madagascar and South Amer ica. Analogous animals forniB In different parts of tho world hint with some certainty nt n prohistorlc connection. A great scientist has nald that tho forms of Ufa found in tho River Jordnn nro so similar to thoso In Africa that Kb Inhabitants should bo included In every book on Afri can zoology. Other scientists took tho matter up for Investigation, and havo arrived nt tho following con clusion. Tho Rlvor Jordan flowed Into tho Red sea, which then wns land nnd n great rlvor baBln. A great Abyssinian river flowed Into tho samo basin and mingled its waters with tho Jordan, with tho result that many of its flshoB bo enmo domesticated In tho Rivor Jor dan, whoro they remain to this day. After centuries tho great river baBln sank boforo tho encroaching ocean, and tho two rlvors woro sop aratod forever. So I might go on with many raoro illustrations. For instance It seoniB highly probablo that tho ponlnsula of India novor was submerged, but thnt It waB nt ono tlmo connoctcd with Africa. Attack of Diarrhoea.

AND Sl.OO. I bollovo that tho oldest and most pormanont forma of tho earth's sur- fnco can bo ascertained by n study of tho distribution of present forms of animal llfo. By this means we may reconstruct tho former globo and arrive- nt a certain Idoa of what it must havo been. Tho study of fossil remains is not necessary. Far be it from me to bolittlo tho achieve ments obtained by this means, but by our present methods wo may ar rive at almost certain conclusions without recourse to study of fossil remains. By this means wo havo proved that Islands forraorly held to bo of volcanic origin really aro tho ro-i mains of old varnished continents. If the continent of Africa now was submerged to tho depth of 1000 feot tho only remaining signs would be a fow volcanic Islands, which wero Its mountuln peaks, and which would possess few forms of animal life. Islands are not populated ac cidentally. Wo may leave out of account tho old theory that many permanent animal distributions wero tho result of accident. Take, for instance, tho continent of North America. Animal forms found east of tho Rocky mountains woro comparatively unknown on thte western slopes until modern times.
