THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-VEDNESD AY, DECEiUBER 24, 1902,

THE BIGGEST
OP ITS KIND
IT IS THE CITY HAM. IN PHILADELPHIA.
Aftor Thirty-one Years of Work It
Is Just Nenrlng Completion Al
ready Too Small for Its Uses Curi
ous Statistics About It and the
Bronze Statue of William Penn on
Its Tower.
frdm (ho Now York Sun.
Along with tho unnauncement that
after llilrty-ono years of worlc the
largest building in America Is neuritis
completion comes another to tlio cltert
thut tho big pile Is so overcrowded that
Hh 4,B00 tenants are beginning to call
for the addition of another story. This
despite tho fact that the structure,
Philadelphia's city hall, has GS2 rooms
With a total lloor space of 118 acres.
If another story Is over added to the
city hall It will bo only one of hun
dreds of queer things that have become
a. part of the building's history. The
loading queer thing to Phlladelphlatux
pa'yers, Is how tlic city hall, oven If It
is the largest structure In tho Western
Hemisphere and Vlio world's largest
municipal building, tho parliament
building excepted, ever came to take
$25,000,000 from their pocketbooks.
A recent report, In endeavoring to ex
plain this expenditure, reveals some in
teresting facts. It states that 5317,000
has been paid to the architect and his
assistants in salaries since 1871, when
the building was begun: $351,490 for
paint and painting; $5,500,000 for 1,4(14,
000 cubic yards of marble for marble
work; $1,000,000 for fitting' up rooms;
$1,343,000 for vntchmen ana cleaners;
$736,000 for electric Installation; and so
on. .
Utilizing Electricity.
The, installation of electricity fur
nished an interesting Incident in the
hall's history. When tho walls wire
erected electric lighting was unheard
of, but when its usefulness was demon
strated the now extinct nubile build
ings commission ordered electric equip
ment. The electricians had to chisel through
In tho stone walls for tho wires at nn
expense of thousands of dollars, and It
took them tho bettor part of live years
of steady work to wire the building.
Now, however, the hall lias a plant
capable of. furnishing all the light a
city of 30,000 ur 40,000 inhabitants could
possibly use.
The dynamo room is one of fifty-uino
In the building's basement, which runs
not only under the hall, but the plana
in the centre as well. These basement
rooms teem with surprises. For one
thing there is a sand bed Alter with a
daily capacity or 1,000,000 gallons of
water, and the employes and thousands
of strangers who daily tread the corri
dors, manage practically to consume
this amount. Thousands of gallons nro
carried to their homes by the employes,
for the water furnished the Philadel
phia householder is about the worst on
earth and will be until the city gets its
big filter beds in working order.
In the Tower.
Like the lowest portion, tho highest
nurt of tho building, the tower, is an
interesting and curious place. It con
tains the largest stone in the building,
a block of granite weighing thirty tons.
It is 12 feet wide, 23 feet long and IS
inches thick.
The tower's walls are 22 feet thick.
Tho second highest elevator in tho
world is tho tower. It runs from tho
seventh floor, 13S feet above ground, to
the base of the Penn statue, an upward
course of 372 feet 9 inches. The air
i ushlons alone cost $25,000. One of tho
400 telephones In the building is located
in the tower, at the base of the statue.
Then there is the great clock and tho
little clock that governs it. Compressed
nlr is the motive power. '
The dials of the great clock are 3i!l
feet, above the earth, and the diameter
of each is twenty-six feet. The long
minute and hour hands are fifteen and
twelve feel respectively and their
weights 225 and 175 pounds. The weight
of the dial frames, with glass, is live
and one-half tons, and the total weight
of the clock is fifty tons.
Tho little or master clock, the clock
that really runs, is 143 feet below tho
great clock by which the city and coun
try folks for miles around regulate
their watches. Two years were spent
in building it, and its mechanism Is as
delicate as that of the finest watch.
It rests in a iin-talllc case on a plat
form built into a wall so no vibration
, can nu'eet it. Quito unlike tho big
clock, which In four years collected
three tons of dirt, the case keeps It
free frohi dust.
Onco every minute this clock, which
is regulated . front AVasiilngton, npen.i
the valve which admits compressed air
to tho tubes connected with the gears.
Tho air moves tho hands of the clock
up in the tower, which, alter all, is just
a dummy clock, for It has only four
faces anil lets the little clock down be
low do all tho actual work.
Out of Plumb.
Another pi;;ullar thing about tho
nver is that In tho course of a duy's
Pontractlou und expansion, duo to tho
lun's rays, muko It lean thrcc-rjunr-
ra of up inch out of plumb, This
tcullarity has been determined by
ans of a tub of molasses placed far
In Iho tower, the surface of the
nlnsses varying three-quarters of an
111, according to tho lean of tho
fer,'
'hen, too, the tower Is nn Insatiable
11 Inveterate destroyer of the birds of
nlr. Tlio ring of sixteen powerful
lights that glow at the base of
oil's titutuo blinds, the birds so thut
uy uaainst the tower, are killed
full to the roofs below. Ono of the
k employes has n collection of over
liusund birds thut were killed In
bnnnn'er.

feet a Inches from hat to chin, a waist
of 21 feel, fingers 2 feet 0 InchcB long,
nails 3 Inches long, legs 10 feet from
anklo to knee,
Between tower and basement laro
many queer things. The largest room
measures C7x"t feet nnd has a. lloor
area of 4,113 square feet. This Is tho
Common Council chamber, and two
three-story houses, Philadelphia Btyle(
could easily be placed In it.
Thirteen of tho rooms occupied by the
City Solicitor's department nro fur
nished In steel. The only things In
llatnmablo lnf them nre tho wooden
tops of a few tables and a half-dozen
carpets.
Desks nro of steel as well as doors,
window frames and thousands of lire
proof boxes for municipal documents.
Pour hundred and seventy-seven tons
of steel wtro used In fitting up these
rooms, and It took seventeen months to
do the work.
Another room entirely of steel, ex
cept the table tops, Is tho Law Associa
tion Library, whore 33,000 volumes nro
kept. This library, the second lurgost
of tho kind In America, has among its
many other treasures ono of tho two ex
isting sots of transcripts of complete
records of tho United Stales Supreme
court. '
The scaling capacity of the seventeen
court rooms Is ubout 8,500. In addition
to these S,500 chairs, 5,000 chairs are
scattered among the various olflces.
Every room has a clock, and each room
contains on nn average three roll-top
desks, making about 8,000 of these in
use In the building.
Two chandeliers cost $4,800 each. They
are gold plated. They hang In what
are known as the conversation rooms,
In decorating which tens of thousands
of dollurs have been spent. These
rooms are really reception rooms for
tho uso of the mayor nnd councils.
Other Features.
The biggest stone column Is 24 1-2
feet high and two feet eight Inches In
diameter. It weighs fourteen tons and
Is of one piece. It and nearly all the
stone used in the building came from a
single quarry in Massachusetts.
There are nearly three miles of main
corridors and one-half that distance of
branches.
Tho five guides declure that, on an
average, COO persons, who have no ob
ject in view' other than that of sight
seeing, are daily shown through the
building. This makes a total of 150,000
yearly.
Bridal counlcs arc in evidence by
thousands. When the courts ' are in
session the corridors are so blockaded
that one can scarcely push his way
through.
Twenty-two persons have met death
while working on the city hall. All
have been killed by falls. Ono man re
cently fell from the brim of Penn's
hat. Another was killed by a fall of
twelve feet.
