A FABLE FOR ARCHITECTS 



''^^NCE upon a time a savage 



race came mto possession of 



a great island which had 



formerly been the home of a 



!' people far advanced in civilization. There 



, J w^ere traces of their occupancy every- 



' I where. In particular, the country was 



. \ marked with tall chimneys, all that re- 



' \ mained of the great factories once used 



' ' by the bygone race. The savages had 



, I no knowledge of building, but they found 



I \ that by putting a few floors and ladders in 



• ' these chimneys, puncturing a few holes 

 ' 1 through the walls for doors and windows, 



• ; and finally knocking off the upper half of 

 ,^^ ' the smoke-stack, they could make for 



Tmi X.. ^o^themselves a house, very strong, very in- 

 . . _ , J convenient, but still a possible dwelling.
