The tall Masonic temple building in Chicago is slowly sinking. A fortune was spent to secure a firm foundation for this great twentyone story structure, but it seems to have been a failure. The building has commenced to settle, and already at ita roof it is sixteen inches out of line. Excavations for the foundation were made fully thirty feet down, and then piles were driven into tbs ground and piles driven upon them. Then came innumerable layers of cement and concrete, interspersed with miles of railroad rails laid over the concrete. It was thought that this would make it firm enough. It is surmised some of the piles are sinking into th swampy ground.
