TO DWARF THE EIFFEL TOWER.
Should Buenos Ayres carry out a project now under contemplation, the city will erect the highest tower in the world, overtopping that of Eiffel by 189 feet. It is planned to put the steel structure up to a height of 1173 feet, and a statue at the top will be surmounted with an electric light of 1,000,000 candle power. The tower, as plans have been drawn, will have facilities for social gatherings, cafes, restaurants, library, billiard rooms, gymnasium, as well as a wireless telegraphic station and a meteorlogical observatory.
