We shall celebrate our vic-tory with a big smoker May 16, to whichall contractors will be invited and all badfeeling worked off. The predatory rich who scarcely know thelimits of their wealth are co-existent withthe countless thousands whose poverty is di-rectly attributable to their failure to findsome owner of the means of production toemploy them. 44. Practical Architecture andDrawing. (By Prof. A. Edward Rhodes, M. E.) Lesson 6. STAIR BUILDING. There are certain important features tobe considered in the laying out of stairs,be they of the cheapest possible construc-tion or the most complicated designs. Itis necessary to know the height from thetop of the floor which the stairs start fromto the floor on which they are to land; alsothe distance of their horizontal stretch, or,as we call it, their run. The run is foundby dividing the height into the number ofrisers desired in the stairs. As this usual-ly results in fractions, the practical car-penter will use a pole on which is markedthe height of the stairs. This height hedivides into the desired number of treadsby using a pair of dividers. There alwaysis one more riser than there are reason is evident by glancing at Fig-ure 3, Plate 11. Here there are fourteenrisers and thirteen treads, the treads being10 inches wide; the run is 10x13, or 130inches, or 10 feet
