TOWER CF BABEL A MIDGET.
It Would Not Reach Two-thirds of th«
Way Up to the Top of tha Eiffel Tow
er, That Sways 9S4 Feet In the Air.
Big Building: and the Pyramids.
It has long been the popular Impres
sion that the moil' ru effort to pierce
the clouds with skyscrapers Is but a
feeble Imitation • f the work of those
ancient sous of .'.'oah whose memory
Is perpetuated In the Bible. Reading
In the eleventh < hapter of Genesis,
where It tells cf ; ':e people attempting
to erect the Tow(.:- of Babel, "whose
top niuy reach unu, heaven," It strikes
one that they must L.:ve gone farther
toward realizing thel: ambition than
wo of tcday may ever ; -pe to do.
But as a matter of fact when the
Lord halted bulldln; operations by
confounding tMe wo. era' language and
scattering them broadcast over the
eurth the summit of tl.e tower was but
one stade. or 000 fe. t 9 Inches, from
tho level of the plain.
The Zlg'jrurrat, or temple tower of
Babylon. Is described by Herodotus as
having eight stapes, each somewhat
narrower than the one directly beneath
it The top was reached by a gradual
ly rising spiral ascent and on the top
most tier was a shrine wherein the god
Marduk was supposed to dwell. DIo
dorus says this shrine i r-ntalned three
colossal golden Images—one of Bel, one
of Beltls and the third of Rhea or Ish
tar— together with two golden Hons,
two enormous silver serpents and a
golden table forty feet long and fifteen
feet wide.
The tower, as the Bible sets forth,
was built of brick, with slime for mor
tar. This slime. It Is believed, was
natural asphaltum obtained from near
by springs. Ages after the building
operations had been Interrupted by tho
Maker's wrath Nebuchadnezzar under
took, with Indifferent success, to restore
the ruins to their former state.
"•»>« mndprn ruins of Babel were BUp
pile of Blrs .V.mi'ouJ, which stood"
Borslppa, eight miles from the ancient
:lty of Babylon. Its sides were from
375 to 643 feet long, and the edifice still
rises to n height of 153 feet
The next etructuies In point of an
tiquity are tho pyramids of Egypt
These are tho oldest and most mysteri
ous of man's works still existing. But
they are not really so tall, considered
in the light of present day achieve
ments. The greatest known as the
Great Pyramid of Cheops or Khufu,
was originally 481 feet 4 Inches high
and 705 feet square nt the base The
second—that of Chepnren or Khafra—
was 472 feet high and 700 feet wide.
Tho third—that of Mycerlnus or Men
kaurn—was never completed, but It
stood, nevertheless, 215 feet high and
340 feet squaro nt the base.
In all nearly seventy of these pyra
mids have been located, and. Inasmuch
as they all appear to have been royal
sepulchers, It Is the belief that the
dynasties of tho builders covered a pe
riod of at least a thousand years. The
area of the Great Pyramid Is more than
thirteen acres—obove twice as great
as that of St Peter's at Rome. Tho
passages leading to the chambers con
taining the royal mummies defied de
tection for thousands of years, only to
be torn open at last and their contents
ruthlessly made away with.
Of modern edifices tho tallest by far
Is tho great Eiffel tower of Paris,
whose steel webbed structure pierces
the blue to a height of 0S4 feet Then
comes tho Woolworth building In New
York, the loftiest office building in tho
work!, Its fifty-live stories rising 750
feet Into the air. The height of others
Is: Metropolitan Llfo building, New
York, fifty stories, 700 feet 3 Inches;
Singer building. New York, forty-one
stories, 012 feet 1 Inch; Washington
monument Washington, 555 feet; Co
logne cathedral spire, Cologne, Ger
many, 517 feet; Rouen cathedral spire,
Rouen, France, 402 feet; cupola of.St
Peter's, Rome, 409 feet; St Paul's,
London, 301 feet
Tho loftiest obelisks ever constructed
are those mentioned by Diodorus SIcu
lus, which rose lofi feel and were elev
en feet thick nt tho base and seven feet
thick at tho top. One of the world's
largest domes is thut of the Roman
Pantheon, 142 feet lu diameter and 143
feet high.
The ancient peoples were great for
their methods of embalming, for their
art, their literature, their general cul
ture. But when it comes to building
skyscrapers they will have to give way
to the builders of the Eiffel tower and
the Woolworth building, who have
pierced the clouds without their lan
guage being confounded In the slight
