While there will bo .v veiy Inrpo number of large buildings erected In this city the coming opting and sum mer a number of thu nichltocts nro not very sanguine, to my the lons, legnrdlnp the building outlook outside of these large Htructuies. The large buildings to be erected, namely, the Young MenV Christian association, Colliery Engineer minting plant, Antlnaclte brewery, new ar mory, Oiand Army of the ltepubllc memorial hall, tin pinto plant, new slllc mill and others, will undoubtedly make the season a ely busy one. but there is one clnss''of tradesman who will not be especially benefitted by these oper ations, and this H the enrpenter. Architect Harvey Witkwood, In speaking about the situation, s.ild yes terday that the jirleo of erecting an ordinary dwelling had advanced neatly BO per tent, over what It would have cost to elect one last eur. Theic has 'been a general advance In all classes of matoilal, Hemlock has Jumped from 11 to SH a thousand within the past few months. Steel has gone up just 100 per rent, and building hauluaio has nli gone up. The price of tin has ad vanced DO per tent, and the pi Ice of. other materials In mopoitlon. The present unsettled relations ex isting between the cm printers and their employers Is also looked upon bv a number of architects as operating against a boom for a smaller clns-s of biilldlngs. The fact Is pointed out that if build ing materials were as cheap as they were last year the coming season would prove a bonanza for the small contractor, as It is expected that the time and attention of the laiger ones v ill be taken up with the construction of the big buildings to be ereited.

Nero did more for Rome than any monarch be fore or after his day. Nero has prob ably been the most abused Individual of ancient times, und his wanton cruel tics, the barbarity with which he per secuted not only the Christians, but all his opponents, political or religious, his nameless vices, the murders of his relatives, chargeable to his account all have combined to render him an object of detestation to succeeding ages. But, probably on the principle of "giving tho devil his due," Profes sor Lanclanl has shown that tho merit of remodeling Rome was due to .this monster In human form. If Lanclanl Is to be believed, the great conflagra tion which, destroyed Rome In A. D. 64 was the work of Nero's agents, and if the latest researches are to bo cred ited, tho work was done with such ef fectiveness that of tho fourteen wards three were completely burned, seven were nlmost totally destroyed and four were damaged. However this may have been, It Is certain that as soon as the ruins had grown cold' the entire- working popula tion of the city was given employment In clearing off the debris, transporting It to the Tiber and erecting new struct ures. The Imperial architects went 'to work and reconstructed the entire plan of the city. Without paying the slightest regard to previous lines, new structures were laid out as nearly straight as the nature of the ground would permit. Public squares, breath ing spots, were located at convenient places In the tenement district and a law was promulgated that no residence house should be higher than twice the width of the street. This seems to bo the first reference among the, Roman building laws to any proportion be tween the height of the house and tho street. The changes proposed by "Nero, had they all been cairlcd out. would have made Rome a city which for com fott, cononlencc and safety was un equalled In ancient times, and not rtis ily surpassed by modern cities. Every tenement house or residence building wms to be isolated from Its neighbors; wooden ceilings In the two or three lower stotcs were prohibited, the ceilings tested on stono or brick arches, wood being permitted only In tho upper stories. Every householder was ordered to erect a wooden portico In front of his building that passersby might have shelter from sun and rain, while the width of the streets and the Isolation of the buildings furnished a lea&onablo guarantee against future extensive disastcis by fires.

From the London Architect. The extreme height and overhanging stoiies of the Roman buildings weie a source of danger to tho citizens in more ways than one. The! a were many Important thoroughfares in Rome that were always In the shade; only at high noon did a streak of sun light find Its way between the build ings to the pavement. The s-c.eetJ were thus always damp, for, although Homo was sewered and there was a penalty against throwing slops I'i'o the streets, the city was none tco cleanly, nnd theio -weie frequent liu moi ous allusions, among the poets cud wrltets of odds and ends, to tho mis fortunes sustained by pedestrians, who. I while passing along the street, v ere deluged by buckets of slops curclojt'.y thrown from upper windows. Pliny mentions a wedding which ended In a riot on account of the leading partici pants being thus besprinkled with filth not of design, but through the care lessness of a housewife. There was another danger hardly less serious. Queer as It may seem to us In these days of gas and electricity, the streets of a city which certainly contained 2,000,.. a, and may have had 4.00u,vii0 of population, weie at night In tho darkness of Egypt. Such a state of things presented singular facil ities for the operations of footpads und highwaymen, and the frequency with which their operations were attended by murder is shown by the numerous epitaphs that have been discovered In timating that he whose ashes lav be neath was killed by robbers. Eveiy householder, every tenant in a tene ment house, had to look after his own secuilty, and accordingly the doars of residences at dark were baried, every window was secured by a strong Iron lattice, and in tenement houses the stteet doors were fastened, and a com mon fund, rajsed by tho tenants, was piovlded to secure the services of a watchman to look after the building. In the tenement structuies which had a lespectablo class of tenants the watchman went his lounds through the building at tegular Intervals, but In the better class of houses there wero geneially two or mote watclunan, and the ono at the front door was chained so that ho at least would give proper attention to business through tho night. Llttlo heed beemed to have been paid by tho Roman builders to the edict of Augustus, and from all accounts the houses In the tenement districts rose higher and higher, for In the next foity or fifty yeats half a dozen edicts wire promulgated on the subject, t ,!-'-- All i THIRD NATIONAL BANK OF SCRANTON.

I VOU CANNOT successfully educate yourself through the mails by enrolling with one of our imitators. You arc certain to lose the money ou pay for tuition, because their methods of instruction are illogical, and the results without alue to any one desiring educa tion for its practical use. Our system of Correspondence Instruction in the Industrial Sciences was originated In The International Correspondence Schools, of Scranton, Pa in October, 1891. Mnce that time, we hae taught thi Theory of the Engineering Trades and Professions, as well as Mechanical and Architectural Drawing, to thousands of industrial workers, and hae qualified them for respon sible positions. Our rolls contain the names of students in every part of the civil ized world. That a method or an Invention should thus etend around the globe, and rapidly grow In favor with the lapse oftime, Is proof positive of intrinsic value. These great results have been achieved by original methods of teaching methods especially adapted to the end in view. Our Instruction and Question Papers and our Drawing Plates differ widely from school and college textbooks, and cost us over $300,000 to prepare and our imitators are compelled to employ a cheaper but an utterly impracticable method that of using textbooks of colleges and the universities. If the Industrial classes could learn drawing and the mathematical and physi cal sciences from ordinary textbooks, there would ha e been no field for The International Correspondence Schools, and our grand army of 160, oca students could never have been assembled, 'Our Instruction and Question Papers, and Drawing Plates, differ from the textbooks' tised by students in the regular schoolsin the following important respects': . FIRST' ey are mastered more easily and In leSS time. The theories and demonstrations of science Its abstractions are always difficult. Our textbooks contain only the facts, principles, and processes absolutely required by the student in his trade or pro fession. These are usually easy to learn and to apply. The worklngman has not the time to study all the matter contained in the school and college textbooks, neither does his work require him to be strong In abstract theory. In the prepar ation of our Instruction Papers, neither time nor expense is spared to secure the greatest possible simplicity and ease of application. We do not occupy the time of our students In the study of the derivation of rules and tormulas; we teach them how to apply rules and formulas. SECOND! TheU dre m0re Practical. ordinary school "- w r anJ -0ee textbooks, such as are used bv our imitators, contain no examples relating to Alining, Mechanics, Steam Ungincwng. Electricity, Architecture, Plumbing, Heating, Ventilation, Sheet-Metal Pattern Draftin?, or CMI Engineering. In each of our Courses, the examples and processes refer directly to the trades or professions of the class of students for whom the Course was prepared: so that from the beginning our students are getting valuable knowledge and are learning to apply it. THIRD: 0ur textbooks are written by men strong both In theory and practice. The authors of textbooks intended for use in colleges and universities have thorough scientific training. Indeed, but they hae little or none of the knowledge that can be gained only by doing by experience. They do not know, and, therefore, omit to mention in their books, the way In which innumerable scientific facts may be applied in simple operations of the trades or professions. These applications of science arc familiar only to the expert both In theory and practice, an J only such men are cm ployed as Editors and Instructors by the Managemtnt of these Schools. FOURTH' e men that make our textbooks su ' pervise the instruction of our students. No one can teach the contents of .1 book so well as the man that wrote the book; he knows better than any one else what is in the book, why it is there, and Its importance with reference to the other parts of the entire subject, FIFTH' They are frequently revised. " property, protected by cop right, school and 1 Beinz private college textbooks cannot be changed at the pleasure of those that use them. In order to correct wnat is wrong, improve what is faulty, smooth awav difficulty, and Insert what is of later disciv ery, changes must be made ery frequently. Our Instruction Papers belong to us; and 111 our Editorial Department, they are in constant comparison with what Is latest and best; faults, omissions, and crudities of every kind are therefore remedied without delav. In the case of textbooks on Applied Physical Science, the need of rctlslon occurs with special frequency. Take Flectrical books, for example; many works on this subject printed five years ago are now nearly worthless, for the reason that they ate out 01 date. SIXTH' teach industrial drawing by an origi ' nal and very successful method, m Mechan ical and Architectural Drawing, special Plates were prepared at an enormous expense both in time and money. They ha e been copyrighted because they em body ,1 method of Instruction entirely new one that has been extraordinarily pro ductive of practical results.
