II has a suspended r"of IF iron AMI
glass, and occupies an acre and Il
quarter of ground. The trees in
this spacc-whcrc. six months ago,
there was not green thing--havc
been trans.,anted at full size, and
the total number here and elsewhere
eight thousand. -
Sixty grand arches open into this
garden from the main building
around. Between them and open
ing likewise into the garden, are To-
Gated all the cafes or rcfrcshmcnt
rooms, distributed in the divisions
proper to their respective nationali-
ties, and will each present the indig-
enous article of food, in the charac-
tcristic styles, Of their several coun-
tries.
The interior area is, open to the
lofty roof; likewise the Outcrmost
ofthc eight cliptical structures envel-
opingit. Two grand transverse aven-
acs-cxtcndinS to the root, but not
continued across the central garden
divide the whole pile into fourquad-
rant shaped sections. Twelve inter
mediate avenues, ratiating in like
manner from the center, three i'll
each section, again su5divide the
whole into sixteen grand national
departments each covering about
two and half acres. Passing from
the center, outward, through any of
these avenues, the visitor will in
spec: thirteen successive departments
of the civilization of that nationality
assigned to either side ofthc avenue;
the first being that of fine arts, and
the second Il museum of the his
tory of labor, from the rudcst ages.
Following any of the eliptical cor
ilors around the building, he will
see an aspect o. civilization, as pre-
sented in diverse forms and stages
by each of the sixteen nationalites,
in succession.
Light, ventilation, warming,
cleansing, drainage, etc, arc muniti-
Gently provided. For example, the
great gallery for machinery is said to
be lighted on each side by 26O win
dows, $50 in all each Of which is
about % feet high and 13'fect wide.
The under ground galleries beneath
all parts of tho structure, for the
various kinds of service and commu-
nication, are over three miles in
length tho length of drainage is
five miles. Air to be introduced and
distributed By means Of immense
stream pumps.
But the cost Of this work is, per-
haps, the most impressive illustration
OF its vastness. The edificc. it is said,
will cost Sl6, 100000. /, is built en-
tircly of iron and glass, except two
inner structures 5. aud lie grand ppr-
;alS. which are oi masonry. SIX
