To see the "art of chiraney-fells
ing" a,t its hese, however, one must
go to any of the texbile manufactur-
ing towns in either Yorkshire or
Lancashire. Here is where a' oor-
root definition •of the word "tower.
ing," 'applicable to factory smoke-
stacks, is given, in defiance of any
other manufacturing city or town
in the world; for there are to be
eeen some of the highest chimneys
extant—one in particular, alsoub
four miles from Manchester, being
a little over 500 feet in heigllt, with
a base the eliameter of which is
said to be around 50 feet. The
average height of it stack in Lan-
cashire, England, is about .050 feet.
Reason for Height.
The specific reason for these
stacks being -so high is on account of
the congested state of the cities
and towns. If the stacks were not
built high the 'enormous quankty o
black smoke which daily pours
forth from the top of them would tak
be detrimental to the health of the hard
inhabitanes. And ir is owing to !the h

made 11 the stack es to remain in a
state of eafety. But the time event-
ually arrives when the exPenslibueo
upon repair work becomes too
heavy a burden upon the mill -
owner, and he becomes eareless.
Hero, then, is where the building
inspector steps in. He notes the
unsafe Oath of the !stack, mien; it

done, condemns it,

As fashions change in the meeker
olothing, so has the fashion
changed during the pasb twenty
years in the methods ef razing these
condemned chimneys. The style of
twenty years ago ruled that the
chimney evreckere shonld start to
raze a stack from the top down-
wards. The old method was to
take brick hammers and chisels
and take the bricks off singly, but
as this was a skew and laborious
