TALLEST
M! CHIMNEY
Experience has vhown that the
height of factory chimneys Is pot alone
dependent, on how much smoke or
other "special poisonous Eases" have
to be removed by it. On the contrary
it is eenJlal that a chimney, especial
ly when U has to remove poisonous
and other detritus products of com
bustion -containing dangerous and tin-,
healthy poison, not alone for human
boIr.8, Lut for plants as well, is to be
constructed to uch a height that the
escaping gases produce no harm, es
pecially at chemical tactorles and gas
works, -where, in most cases, the poi
RonouB and dangerous products of
combustion escape before they enter
the flue, thus demanding ' frequently
and costly construction, which is of
ten found impossible to carry out.
After the experience of today, an out
let height of about COO feet above the
level is considered sufficient to pre
vent harmful action to plant life, as
well as the Interference with the health
of ipecple living in the vicinity of the
chimney. Should this territory be sur
rounded with wooded heights, it is
well to increase iin the same ratio the
height of the chimney. Jn rolling or
hilly country -the outlet of the chim
ney must be placed at least 300 feet
above the highest point of the sur
rounding hills; a chimney in the val
ley would, in consequence of this great
height, cof?t bo much that It la cheaper
to build the fluCof the chimney on this
highest point, and erect 'the chimney
proper on the already existing higher
plane supplied by nature. On account
of "this aforesaid condition the Royal
Saxon Smelting "works at Ilalsbrucke,
in Freiberg, were compelled to build a
high chimney, which can safely be con
sidered to be the highest and most
prominent chimney of this century.
This chimney has a height above the
surrounding plane of 459 Teet. The
height of the chimney Itself Is 429 feet
6 inches, and at the square base It is
29 feet 6 inches, and. therefore, at the
time of its completion, in 1889, was the
highest chimney in the world. The top
internal diameter is over 8 feet. This
enormous height did not suffice to sup
ply sufficient security for the -surrounding
neighborhood against the outgo
ing gases, and, therefore, this chimney
was erected upon one of the adjoining
highest hills, which is 197 feet higher
than the smelting works, situated in
the valley. In consequence of this po
sition the chimney obtains an addi
tional height, an increased efficiency
equivalent to a height of over 656 feet.
As this chimney could not be placed
next to the factory but was built, a3
before mentioned, upon the highest
hill, a flue of over 1,640 feet was con
structed, which runs part of the dis
tance over a bridge, especially built to
hold the construction over the River
Mulde, which separates the factory
Cab Service in
Germany..
I have spent most of the .summer in
Germany, says a returned American,
and I am convinced that the Germm3
perhaps more than any other peple
have solved the problem of living.
Without going into the details of good
cooking, open air life, good hotels,
cleanliness, cheapness and general
comfort, there is one thing about Ger
man cities that appeals to me. The
especial object of resentment and ob
jection that I cherish In this country
is the American cabman and his ex
orbitant prices. In London and Paris
the tariff for the employment of cab3
Is more or less clearly defined, but
still disputes may arlsa. In Germany,
however, they have olved the prob
lem absolutely. They have attached
to every cab, carriage or public ve
hicle a sort of automatic arrangement
on the box directly behind the driver,
and in plain sight of the passenger. It
explains upon its face that It registers
the tariff for the hire of the vehicle.
When you get In the wagon the driver
adjusts this register. If any baggage
is carried the Jtn.ce of the register pro
claims how much he is allowed for
every piece of luggage, and he rings
it up before he starts. Then the tax
imeter is attached to the wheels of the
wagon in some way, so that every rev
olution of the wheel la registered. In
stead of registering the distance gone,
or the number of the revolutions of the
wheel, the taximeter registers the
charge for the distance gone. It
changes in 10 pfennig jumps. Ten
pfennigs in our money 13 about 1xh
cents. The result is that a person Is
charged about 24 cents for every
eighth of a mile. The machines are
absolute and accurate, and the work
ings are so open that even the most
obtuse can realize the fairness of it.
This Is spoken of merely as a hint t3
the municipal authorities of the va
rious American cities in control of
hack rates. The establishment of a
taximeter system of this kind would
be of inestimable value to the people
who patronize them, and in the end
would be of great value to the hack
men themselves, as. assured of honest
treatment, thousands of people would
use cabs who now refrain owing to the
wild license for charging that the
American hackman enjoys.

from the hill upon which the chimney
Is built, thereby reducing to a rational
amount the cost of the construction,
the outlet of the said chimney being
300 feet above the adjoining plane.
Notwithstanding this great saving by
the construction of the flue and utiliz
ing nature for the additional height,
the chimney alone cost over thirty-one
thousand dollars; the construction of
the 1,640 feet of flue $25,000, hence the
total cost is about fifty-six thousand
dollars, including excavations, founda
tions and the necessary iron rings; the
two latter items cost $2,020. But even
this tremendous cost has been a good
Investment so far, as the company has
not been compelled to pay any dam
ages to the surrounding property hold
ers since the erection of this big chim
ney; whereas before diver3 claims had
to be satisfied to the extent of 40 per
cent, according to governmental de
cisions. The chimney was erected ac
cording to the design of Master Me
chanic O. Huppner, in Freiburg, in
Saxony, "by the largest and most prom
inent firm of German chimney build
ers, II.- It. Helnecke, and was begun
upon Sept. 25, 1S88, and completed on
Oct. 28, 1889. The system employed
was the perforated radial brick, In the
same method as was pursued in the
erection of the two chimneys at the
works -of Adam Weber Sons, at Weber,
N. J., on the Raritan river, which sys
tem this Arm is now Introducing in
America. Judging by results and the
general demands in this line it will not
be long before America will surpass
this big construction with a still taller
chimney. The following data will be
of Interest, showing the immensity of
this construction: The base of the
chimney lies 30 feet under the level,
and Is 19 feet 3 inches square, cover
ing an area of 1,550 square feet. The
following quantity of material was
used, viz.: Thirteen thousand eight
hundred and eighty-three cubic feet for
foundation work; 17.T3C cubic feet for
pedestal, 63.066 cubic feet for the col
umn, giving a total of 95.285 cubic feet
of mason work. The mason work had
a special weight of 124.8 pounds per
cubic foot; the entire lot then to be
carried was 5,3084 gross tons, and the
weight to be sustained by the founda
tions, at a dead calm, was 3.45 tons per
square foot. In consideration of the
normal wind pressure of 25.62 pounds
per square foot, which Is officially ac
cepted in Germany as a statical calm
for chimneys, the weight to be sus
tained by the foundations is increased
to 4 tons per square foot. There is
no doubt that this chimney with all lt3
details and peculiarities, is one of the
greatest works ever erected in this
particular line, and is accepted to-day
by the official organs of Germany as a
standard of chimney construction.

Charles Bell, of Albion, Mich., be

efficacy of faith that he believed him
self able to take poison without any
ill-effects. So he took 24 grains of
morphine the other day. The next
morning he appeared sick, but
triumphant, and told of his feat. He
said he had vomited up the morphine
and felt no serious ill effects from tak
ing it. The success of this test prob
ably encouraged him to go further
with his experiments, for he bought a
revolver and declared his intention of
proving that he could shoot himself
without fatal results. He then went to
the front yard of his house, and, plac

tiltlFFITII IIKI.IF.VKH IX "W'AITF.KS."
With a club composed entirely of
men known in baseball as good wait
ers Manager Clarke Griffith of the Chi
cago White Stockings, sees a stronger
combination than that of a team
strong In 6tlck work alone. Such a
club, he says, would be capable of
outplaying the sluggers In work about
the bases and being evenly matched In
fielding would take the pennant hands
down.
"I can't get it into the heads of
some of the players on this team that
they can get on base Just as easily by
letting the pitcher throw a few over
without their striking at them, and
that there Is a great deal less danger
of being fielded out.
"Give me a team of good waiters,
not the kind that work In a hotel or
restaurant, but who know the differ
ence between a ball that is over the
plate and one that Isn't, and I'll win
the pennant In this league or any other
without half trying.
"Such an assertion may sound a
trifle queer, but it is a fact, neverthe
less. Why? Because there aren't more
than half a dozen pitchers in the busi
ness that can get the ball over the
plate, as prescribed in the rules, when
he knows the batter won't take a
chance on anything but good ones.
Then let a good ball come. It's little
or no trouble to foul it off, or, if it's
the last strike, take the chance, of
course, of hitting it out or bunting, as
the case may be.
"Leant to Walt."
T wouldn't care If my men didn't
get a hit once a week if they'd only
learn to wait. There's the secret of
most men's good ball playing and bat
ting. Lajoie is the exception that
proves this rule. Keeler and Jones are
the shining lights of this rule. Men
who hit at .275 or .280 are doing well
enough. If they are getting to first on
four balls.
"I never realized as much as I do
this year the Importance of trying for
a base on balls. And I never knew, as
I do now, that so few pitchers have
control enough of the ball to get it
over when they want to. Most of them
shut their eyes and let it go, depending
on luck to turn the trick. This season
I have watched the game closer than I
ever did before. I have tried this wait
ing scheme and find it works. That is
the reason I am hitting above .300, a
mark I never had before.
"Of course there must be a little
stick work back of this waiting. Then,
too, a great deal depends cn base run
ning. With waiting, base running and
just a little hitting the pennant would
be easy for such a team."

William P. Coughlin, the clever
third baseman of the Washington
team, of the American League, was
born Aug. 12. 1876, at Scranton, Pa.,
and learned to play ball around his
native place. His professional career
began with the Pawtucket Club, of
the New England League, in 1896, and
that year he participated In ninety-six
championship games, and toward the
close of the season batted in Class A
form. Once he made five safe hits, in
cluding a homer and two double bag-

gers, twice four and six times three
safe hits to the game. Once he ac
cepted all of ten chances at third base,
and once nine. He wai re-engaged by
Pawtucket for the season of 1897, and
that year he took part in one hundred
and seven championship games, and
again distinguished himself as a bats
man and a fielder. Once he made six
safe hits to a game,' three times four
and six times three. Five times he ac
cepted nine chances to the game at
third base, seven times eight and five
times seven. He continued with the
Pawtuckets until July 4, inclusive,
1898, when the New England League
disbanded, and then he next signed
with the Wilkesbarre Club, of the
Eastern League, finishing the season
with the latter.
A Hood natter.
He participated in forty-five cham
pionship games with Pawtucket, and
forty-seven with the Wilkesbarres, and
his batting percentage with the latter
was .310. . Ten times that season he
made three safe hits to a game. In
the fall of that year his release was
purchased by the Washington Club, of
the National League. Washington
held him until August, when he was
sold to the Kansas City Club, of the
American League, and finished tha
season with the latter'B team, partici
pating in only sixteen championship
games, but he batted safely In all
except one, and had a batting per
centage of .323. He continued with the
Kansas Citys throughout the campaign
of 1900, and that year took part in
one hundred and thirty championship
games, and did creditable work both
at bat and In the field. Once he made
four safe hits, Including a triple bag
ger, and seven times three safe hits to
the game. He also did good work in
base stealing, having twenty-nine to
his credit. When the Kansas City
Club was transferred to Washington,
at the beginning of this year, and
changed Its name to Washington.
Coughlin was one of the players Man
ager Manning decided to retain, and
thus far In the campaign 'his batting
and fielding are of the highest order.
During the latter part of May and
early in June he went a stretch of
twenty-one games, and missed only
once to make at least one safe hit to a
game, twice he made three hits and
six times two.

the minor and major leagues. He was
born Dec. 12, 1877, at Amesbury, Mass.,
Is nearly six feet tall and weighs 168
pounds. His career on the ball field
began as catcher for the Amesburys, in
1893. After two years he went to Do
ver, N. H., and played only a few
games when the manager of the Lo
well Club, of the New England Asso
elation, saw him play and was so well
pleased with his work that he signed
him. Crisham remained with the
Lowells until July 1, when he signed
with the Lewlston Club, of the New
England League, where he finished the
season of 1895. While with Lowell he
played In twenty-three championship
games, made forty-one safe hits and
had a batting percentage of 436. Once
he made five safe hits, including a
homer, a triple and a double bagger,
in a game, once four and five times
three. After joining the Lewistons he
participated In thirty championship
contests. In 1896 he joined the New
port team, then an independent organ
ization, and caught in sixty-four out of
seventy odd games. In 1897 the New
port Club joined the New England
League, and in that campaign he par
ticipated in one hundred and three
championship contests, and had a bat
ting percentage of .318.
A Good Showing.
Once he made four safe hits to a
game, and thirteen times three. He
made eleven homers, three triples and
seventeen double baggers. He was
drafted by the Brooklyn Club, of the
National League, In the fall of 1897,
and farmed to the Providence Eastern
League team for the season of 1898,
and during that campaign he partici
pated in one hundred and nine cham
pionship games, and played success
fully both as a batsman and a fielder.
He was generally regarded a3 the best
catcher In the Eastern League. Twice
he made four safe hits to a game, and
six times three. His long safe hits, in
cluding five homers, seven triples and
twenty-six doubles. Twice he accepted
eleven chances to a game, and twice
ten. At the close of that season he
again became the' property of the
Brooklyn Club. When the deal was
completed consolidating the Brooklyn
and Baltimore clubs, in the spring of
1899, Crisham was sent to the latter
city. Manager McGraw tried to farm
him to a Western League team, but
Crisham wouldn't 'have it, and de
manded his retention or his release.
McGraw retained him. and he did good
work while there. He played in forty
five championship games, twenty-five
of which at first base, and had a bat
ting percentage of .303. In 1900 he
was with the Cleveland team, of the
American league, and during that
campaign he participated In ninety
three championship contests, filling
various positions on the in and out
fields. Early in the present year he
was engaged by Manager Mack for the
Athletic team, of the American
League, but as he was suffering with
fever and could not play, he was re
leased In May, and was Immediately
signed by the Providence Club, of the
League, where he Is Going, wonderful
work.
