OF WHAT THE BUILDINGS ARE MADE.

A composition called staff is Of plaster,
cement and hemp, or similar fibre; All the
buildings are covered with staff. 1t Is lighter
than wood, Is hreproof, and, II kept painted,
will last many years, The architectual and i
buildings are first modelled In clay, from
which model molds are made, and the staff
covering Is then cast very much as iron Is
cast Staff has been used for more than loo
years as q covering for buildings, notably IN
South America. One Of the wonders OF staff,
az seen at the Exposition, is its color; Gray,
it's success at Jackson Park but 1t Will take
any tint that one chooses TO apply, and main=
tain liveliness akin 10 the soft bloom Of the
human skin: Staff Is an e1pedient borrowed
from the Latin countries, and much cultivat-
ed in South America. ANY child skilled In
the mechanism of a mud pie can make 1t, az.
ter being provided with the gelatine molds
and water mixture OF cement and plaster,
When the staff has hardened, the resultant
cast is definite, light and attractive.
