The FIRST ICe-PaIaCe.

The first ice-palace was built by the
Empress Anna IvanoYna, on the NeVa,
in 1889.
In the construction of this work the
simplest means were used. First, the
purest and most transparent ice was
selected. This was cut into large
blocks, squared with rule and compass,
and carved with all the regular archi-
tectural embellishments. No cement
was used. Each block when ready
was raised to its destined place by
cranes arc pulleys, and just before it
was let down upon the block which
was to support it, water was poured
between the two; the upper block was
Immediately lowered. and as the water
froze almost instantly, in that intensely
cold climate, the two blocks became
literally one. In fact, the whole build
ING appeared to be, and really was,
single mass of ice. The effect it pro-
duced must have been infinitely moro
beautiful than if it had been of the
most costly marble-its transparency
and blush tint giving it rather the APP
pearance of a precious stone.
In dimensions, the structure was
fifty-six feet long, eighteen feet wide,
twenty-one feet high, and with walls
three feet in thickness. At each corner
of the palace was pyramid of the
same height as the roof, of course
built of ice, and around the whole was
a low palisade of the same material.
The actual length of the front view,
including the pyramids, was one hum
dred and fourteen feet.
The palace was built in the usual
style of Russian architecture The
facade was plain, being merely divided
into compartments by pilasters. There
was window in each division, which
was painted in imitation of green
marble. The window-pancs were
formed of slabs of ice, as transparent
and smooth as sheets of plate glass.
At night, when the palace was lighted,
the windows were curtained by canvas
screens, on which grotesque figures
were painted. Owing to the transpar-
ency of the whole material, the gen
eral effect of the illumination must
have been fine. the whole palace SEEM
ingly being filled with a delicate pearly
light. The central division projected,
and appeared to be door, but was, in
fact, large window, and was illumi-
mated like the others. Surnounting
the facade of the building was an or
namental balustrade, and at each end
of the sloping roof was a huge CHM
ney. The entrance was at the rear.
At each side of the door stood lee
limitations of orange trees, in leaf and
flower, with ice-birds perched on the
branches Nicholas for april.
