A CRYSTAL Palace In New York.

New York, jealous OF Philadelphia, and the
World Exposition proposed 10 he opened there
has under consideration scheme jor the starting
of great Industrial Exhibition OF iis OWN, ON a
basis which will repay its capitalists and he the
means of cnrehin@ aud charging their city
They expect TO induce ali that visit the "World
Exposition stop in New York and take turn
through an immense "Crystal Palace" The land
has been contracted for at 81 sooo 900 and s:ooooo
paid 1t comprises a5:,a! lots. AT a meeting on
Friday of some of the leading men OF New iork
the plan of the enterprise was discussed, and re-
ceived with SO much favor that large sums were
subscribed and Mr.. Edward Schell offered 10 BE-
one of 100 men who would sign check covering
the whole purchase of the land and donate il for
the purpose SO confident was he in the bench
cial results to their city. The plan says:
"The building, to be erected by the Industrial
Exhibition Company should be substantial and
fire.proof, and should be built in such a manner
as to be readily converted into dwellinghouses or
nj aees of business, should be l25 feet deep, and
built entirely around the ground, leaving a court
in the center. Five stories in hight. Each ilo"r
an omen floor would give space l25 feet wide
and 300 feet long for each floor. The court in
the center would be twice the size OF Madison
square. Should be covered, used as garden of
piants and for amusement The four main floors
would be an Industrial Exhibition and trade

that all the world would wish to see, can be

From the State House.
Plenty of Work Laid Out-1suSincss for
the Railroad Communicable Commits
sion TO be Investigated.
BOSTON. Jan. II. 1879

BosToS, Jan. II, 1872.
There was an abundance of papers before
both branches of the legislature to-day, but the
most of them were petitions, which now come in
to the speakers desk in handfuls. In the house.
Mr.. Ely, of Newton, with the help of Mr.. Kim
ball, of Boston, and Mr.. Towne of Fitchburg
procured the passage of an order for
joint committee, of which the speaker
shall appoint five members, to consider the
subject of commissionerships The wording of
Mr.. Ely's order was rather indefinite, but its
aim was understood to be to ascertain what re-
ducton of taxes can be made. Mr.. Ely said
that after what was said Hast fall some action
ought to be taken with reference TO the matter.
The house appeared at first indsposed to adopt
the order Mr.. Ely wanted it committee of
the house alone, but Mr.. Klmball spoke IN favor
Of making it joint one, and the suggestion
was adopted. The speaker did not announce
the committee.
More work was laid out for the committees
to-day than on any previous day of the session.
number of orders were adopted bringing sub
jects before the attention of the railway, Judi
ciary, state police, and insurance, and other
committees. Among the propositions made are
an amendment of the laws to make the police
commissioners tenure subject to the will of the
governor, to repeal the tax On bank shares, and
to prohibit insurance companies from paying
over ten per cent commissions. The commit
tee on railways will soon have their hands full.
The house to-day directed them to consider the
expediency of regulating by general law the
rates of fare and freight ON all roads which have
paid over six per cent. dividends for the past
two years; and in the senate an order
was passed, offered by Mr.. Humphrey
OF Plymouth, directing the committee
to report general railroad law for the incorpor-
alton of railroad companies without special
acts OF LEGISLATION. In the present temper of the
senate it is thought that the bill can pass. The
committee was authorized TO employ clerk and
send for persons and papers,
In the senate the petition OF Mr.. Francis and
others of Worcester, TO be incorporated
as the Peoples club, was presented; also
petition from some citizens of Randolpb
for new town: and of citizens of
Cambridge and Boston for another bridge
across Charles river Mr.. Bartholomew, of
Worcester, offered bill in the senate providing
that the trustees Of Amherst college, heretofore
elected by the legislature, shall hereafter be
chosen by the alumni of the college.
In the house there was another batch OF de-
pariment estimates, and the report of the attor
ney general and number of other reports were
presented Both branches, to-day, provided for
the mileage Of members.

Of Mr.. Cevenger, the American sculptor, and
had been burning twenty-fuur hours on the end
of Il jOst Just under his fire place. He had
smet something like a coal-pt for some time
and at length perceived smoke rising from the
brick floor. On going below he found the room
full OF smoke, and iush-bottomed chair lust
under the ioist was partially consumed. But
the iOst was not yet burned off, and WHY?
Because the fire was bricked dorm. 1t could
not rise and burst into flames.
The secret of fire-proof building, then, is this :
! II must be made impossible for the flames to
pass through the floors or up the stairway If
| YOU will have wood floors aDd stairs, lay floor
iuG Of the thinnest sheet iron the ioisis and
Your wood upon that; and sheath the stairs
with the same material. A floor will not burn
without a supply Of air under it. Throw dry
| board upon Il perfectly Hat pavement and kindle
/ 1t as 1t lies, if You can. You may make a fire
| upon it, and in time consume il, but il will re-
| quire a long time. Prevent drafts, and though
there will still be fires, no houses will be con-
sumed. The combustion will 70 on so slowly
that discovery is certain in time to prevent any
great calamity. But the roofs the roofs, how
about them? Slate or ties2 Zinc melts too eaS-
iy. | believe that hard burned tiles, if fiat,
would stand the frost at home; and if so, they
constitute the best roofing My house has no

arches, One OF these arches was made over
room twenty five feet square, by four men in
four days. The bricks are about one and one-half
inches thick, and laid edgecise, with plaster

lay them on, unless you would so term four bits

1t would paw, think, to send out here for an

cover them with several thlcknesses of paper
and then carpet them, and no one can diStu-
guish the slightest difference between their tenn
perature and that of wood floors. Who doubts
this let him try the experiment with the feet or
the barometer. The truth is that the brick or
composition floor is no colder in itself than
wood-the thermometer attests this-but it is
better conductor.
