Public Money for Private Collections.

The fact that tho Trustees OF the Natural
History Society have practically forced
upon the city an improper plan for adding
to tho museum building has a good deal In
it worth thinking over besides fault In
architecture. 1t bears upon various other
semi-private institutions. existing and
projected, in II way which has prob
ably escaped attention. Tho effect OF dis.
turbing tho affairs OF tho Park Depart.
ment to the extent OF overriding the judy
mcnt Of the Landscape Architect. and OF
putting the seal Of qualification aud dis
grace upon q municipal structure already
in existence. will be better appreciated when
the interests OF certain other enterprises
similar to that OF the Natural History
Society arc taken into consideration.
The system by which the city furnishes
money and gives lands and buildings for
tho purpose Of providing better accommo-
dations for private collections and their
freer enjoyment by the public is not ap-
piled to tho Natural History Museum alone.
In the same way us New York ded-
icated tho land OF Manhattan square
and put buildings thereon to the value
OF nearly q million and a half OF dollars,
it also built for the Metropolitan Mu-
scum Of Art, on tho eastern side Of tho
Central Park. The city owns and controls
these buildings. Being located in the public
parks. they have hitherto been planned and
criticised and determined upon with proper
reference and intelligent regard to their
surroundings. There is n bill at present
in tho Legislature to establish tho same
sort Of public and private partnership for a
Botanic Garden, to DO run by a private
society. provided with land and assisted
with money by the city. A similar project
has been contemplated for a geological
garden OF an Importance suitable to the
metropolis. The new aquarium, now build
ing at the Battery. which 1t Is expected will
be an interesting and popular ornament Of
the town. would probably DO placed eventu-
ally under a like supervision. Other insti-
buttons like these would follow in the nat
tural order Of the city's material and
scientific growth. This relation between
the municipal Government and private citi-
zens has it's difficulties. but with men Of
disinterested wisdom and sober public spirit
it is admirable.
1t would be impossible. however. to think
OF maintaining this system. hitherto 10

cerned, il the labor, the expenditure. the
authorities. and the authority Of the city
are to be subjected to the abuse practised
In the case Of the proposed addition to the
Natural History Museum. No city Gov
eminent could long tolerate such control
and treatment Of it's affairs and retain It's
standing before the community.
We say it with all seriousness that the
responsible officers OF the Natural History
Society should retrace their steps and then
proceed by the path set by both law and
common sense. The Landscape Architects
protest against the architectural mon
strosity threatened in Manhattan square
should be respected. There should be other
plans for the new building.

IN BAD BUSINESS.

The hundreds OF thousands of New
Workers. who greeted the great naval
parade last Spring. or who visited the
warships as they lay at anchor in the
Hudson. will read with regret that two
OF them have been engaged in very
bad piece OF business. These two are
the Brazilian vessels Aquidaban and Re
publica, which have been bombarding the
defenseless city of Rio. Under any cir.
cumstances 1t would be regrettabe that
the guns and ships Of any Government
especially OF republic, should be used
against its own people. but the present
outrage seems wholly inexcusable. II
looks as II It had been perpetratet
chiefly to test the destructive power Of
the great twenty-ton guns.
This is worse than the outrage com
mitted by Great Britain in her CUR
practice at Alexandria, when she trained
her modern long-range artillery on tn,
living targets behind that city's crum
bling defenses.

There is no more artistic home in this
country than that OF a certain woman
who goes every year to the mountains
for her Summer outing. She has a small
cottage, surrounded by shade trees. and
with many windows and verandas, all
vine-clad. The porch is always In use
as a resting place in pleasant weather.
but the interior is no less charming,
though there is not an expensive article
of furniture except the piano. One room
has an open fire and warm-hued carpet
and stuffed furniture, for use In rainy
days or sudden cold. The other apart
ments have mattings, bamboo work and
clear glass vases. The curtains are OF
scrim, and beaded bamboo portieres
divide the rooms from each other. All

ment cost less than that of one draw
