How Emile zoIa Lives and works

Emile Zola, after besieging Paris for
a quarter OF "a century, has captured
the capital. The Societe DIES Gems de

committee, have elected him their
president He is a prominent candi-
date for the French Academy and
several lmmortals are ready 10 do him
honor. A few years ago. when Zola
gloried in being eccentric. and lived in
"A solitary manner. surrounded only by
small number OF obscure disciples.

disdainfully reproached him for striv-
ing 10 break through traditions till

used TO speak OF II with superb disdain
and said quite boldly that II was with

association. that too many nobodies
exercised influence In il. and that il did
not further the interest of letters. In
fact, he thought as badly OF il as he
did OF the French Academy, and would.

EASY WAY TO SAVE NlcKELs.
How the New stamp system Works In
Detroit and Other cities.

One OF the most important move
ments in the economy Of the American
people is the nickel savings stamp
system. To Edwin +. Mack, Of the
Citizens Savings Bank OF Detroit
belongs the credit of having introduce
cd this feature into the banking system
Of the United States. The idea was
not original with Mr. Mack as a
scheme somewhat similar has been in
use at Frankfort-on-the-M Main for years.
From the penny savings stamp plan OF
the great banking city Of Germany,
Mr. Mack conceived the idea of cstab-
fishing IA nickel stamp scheme for de-
posts in his savings bank in Detroit.
After getting design for a Decent
stamp he had 10. 600 stamps printed
and started out one morning last June
i'm IA buggy and drove through the
suburbs Of Detroit and established
thirty agencies These he located, as
rule, in suburban drug stores. and
when possible in close proximity to
public schools--places where school
children were In the habit OF going 20
spend their money. Each agency was
supplied with quantity of STAMP and
blank deposit books. These b, o.ss are
arranged SO that each page holds
twenty stamps. When page is COW
cred the bank issues deposit book
with credit Of 81, upon which inter-
est begins AT once at per cent Tho
advantages OF the system are many,
tho principal one being that small
amounts OF money may be transferred
into credit in the savings bank with
out personal visit 10 that institution.
In Detroit where the system has been
longest established, "A large number OF
stores are provided with stamps, and
customers often take them for change
instead OF money. These stamps they
paste in their book. and without miss
ing the amount invested they soon
accumulate 81 The plan has become
very popular in Detroit During the
first three and one-half months Of its
establishment more than $l5 900 was
deposited. The plan has been recently
adopted by banks In san Francisco,
Columbus, Denver. Los Angeles, ST.
Paul. Louisville, and number OF
smaller places.

ACCEPTED DESIGN FOR THE MONUMENT
erai Grant is to find a resting place NJ
for the glory given IL when it lived and
breathed.
The accompanying illustration will
give our readers vivid idea OF the de-
sign selected. IL is the work Of John
III. Duncan OF New York.
The Memorial is Greek In archi-
lecture, the lower portion simple Doric,
that above Ionic. Tie great size OF
the Memorial hall, however, led Mr..
Duncan to adopt the arch aud vault
form OF the Romans. IL being deslr-
able that the Memorial should in no
way resemble a habitable dwelling, its
dome is pyramidal. instead Of ovoid or
spherical. Tie arrangement recalls. to
some extent, the tomb OF Napoleon, in
the Hotel des Invalides.
Tie main structure has square base,
100 feet by 100 at the ground line, ex-
elusive Of the steps and porticoS The
total height will be, including tile
heroic figure at the apex of the pyra :
mid, 100 feet, or 200 feet from the
level OF tile Hudson. From the floor OF
the vast dome is 100 feet. The dome
j. supported by four arches.
The outer gallery Is 100 feet above
the ground, aiiording an unbroken view
of the country for miles in every direc-
ton.
The crypt is large and roomy; its
material is TO be white granite. As its
name tells, IL is below the ground and
will contain double sarcophagus m
which will repose the mortal remains
OF General Grant and his wife.
The sculptures OF the memorial are
Indicated rather Than designed, no final
choice having been made OF subjects or
their treatment. Mr.. Duncan has sug.
gesied equestrian statues Of Grants
four principal generals on the columns
in front and portraits OF the several
maior.generals on the full relief panels
on the sides.
By the depression OF the morluary
chamber, the interior. the Memorial
hall, will be clear for gatherings At
the end will bel rostrum. The interior
OF the dome is to be ornamented with
figure subjects in marble mosaic. IL
Mr.. Duncan's ideas are carried out,
these figures will be symbolic OF Gen.
Grants specia! victories. He has de-
signed places in crypt for the display
OF banners aud relics OF the dead gen
eral and citizen.
Where mosaic cannot be used cream
white Tuckahoe marble or Indian lime
stone will be the material.
