Mormon Enterpri.e-..rhs New Temple.

The Salt Lake (Utah) Telegraph has
detailed account of the Mormon's reli-
gious edifce now going up in that city.
The architect is Mr.. Henry Grow:
The building is in the form Of an ell
lipse, with an extreme length of $50 feet
and width of l50 Extreme height Of
roof 79 feet; height Of ceiling 68 feet.
The immense roofframe rests upon Al
cut stone piers, about IL feet apart and
20 feet in height, which gives 48 feet of
spring to the arch. The "a bents or
principal rafters forming the arch are
composed of six thickuesses Of q inch
plank, framed like lattice work, strongly
pinned and bolted, and tied by Is hori-
zontal cross-timbers ou the outside, upon
which. the small rafters for the sheeting
will be laid, and Is similar cross-timbers
inside, to which the ceiling joists will be
stayed. The l3 half bents, resting 3pon
the l3 piers in curve at each end, JOIN
diagonally upon the apex of the arch OF
the two outside parallel bents.
The stand will be in the west end-the
floor to be level for a distance of GO or
20 feet in front Of the stand, thence grad
ually rising 10 the end, where the seats
will be eight feet above the level II is
estimated that the house will seat about
ten thousand persons. For freedom Of
ingress and egress-a very material con-
sideration where large audiences are
concerned-ample provision has been
made in the folding door appointments
of the entire space between the nine
piers in line on either side. A cornice
eight feet deep will surmount the stone
work
In the majestic, towering self-support-
ing roof of this building there will be
consumed nearly one hundred Thousand
feet of lumber. When finished, It will
present the appearance Of a ponderous
half globe, with sides slightly compressed,
and, though Of the plain. rather than
grotesque order Of architecture, from its
vas. proportions and striking originality
of design, will make lie impression upon
the beholder and stand as an imperishs.
Bile monument Of magnificent zeal and
unparalleled unity on the part OF an
infant, derided people who are disposed
TO honor the credentials Of Heaven, and
