THE NEW MORMON TEMPLE

Its Interior Arrangement and the
Enormous Cost of the Structure.
The interior of the Temple has an air
OF mystery about it. Up to date none but
the faithful have been admitted to its
sacred precincts, and as none of the in
qulslt1ve Gentle reporters are allowed to
enter, the newspaper descriptions of the
inside are inaccurate, and chiefly the re-
suit of the imagination of the ubiquitous
scribes. AS a matter of fact, there are
portions of the interior which are as
sacred as was The Holy of Holies'' in
the days OF the Temple constructed by
the wise son of David.
The basement is divided into several
apartments, the larger one being 57x35
feet, containing Daptismal font The
floor is tiled with marble, polished to the
highest degree OF perfection, while the
ceiling is Of sky-blue tint. The font is
of bronze. and, like that in the temple at
Jerusalem, rests on the backs of twelve
oxen, also of bronze, which stand with
their faces to the east, west, north and
south. Grand and impressive as this
apartment is, it is mediocre when COM
pared with some of those on the upper
floors. One in particular is deserving of
special mention. Resplendent in blue
and gold is this magic chamber, while
the floor is of blocks of wood not more
than in inch square, brought from all
sent out by the church.
Another apartment adjoining is still
more beautiful. White and gold are
used, and the effect is to dazzle the eve.
The tapestries are all of the purest white.
and are rare and costly. All the basins
and ewers are of the finest onyx, delicate
in tint, and in such profusion that the
sight would drive dealer in this prod
uct insane with envy. To be permitted
to look upon the magnificent work for an
hour is said to be worth a year of ones
life and trip across the world.
The beehive is the emblem of the
church, together with clasped hands. and
the motto Holiness TO the LOrd.n Every
handle of door and window has this de-
sign, all having been specially made for
the purpose. In the basement all the
fixtures, including the locks on the doors,
the bolts, and hinges, are of brass. on
the first floor they are of plated gold: on
the second, plated silver; on the third
old silver; and above that of bronze. The
woodwork is of oak, all seasoned and
massive in appearance.
The cost OF the Temple is a question
which even the most astute follower of
Brigham hesitates to answer. 1t has
been estimated all the way from Sc, ,OOO, coo
TO 81, 600. The latter figure is be-
lieved by those who are in a position to
know to be the correct one.-Harper's
Weekly.

A Steam Man.

The Scientific american calls attention
to the 'steam man." 1t is. in a few
words, steam machine formed like a
man which walks, though what the spe-
claI use of 1t, if not a mere toy, is not
shown. 1t is the invention of George
Moore of Canada, and is said to be pow
ertul enough to pull ten ordinary persons
in wagon. The general appearance of
the figure is made TO resemble an armored
knight. In moving it initiates the mo-
ton OF the human body exactly, the ac-
ton OF hip, knee and ankle being most
natural. The speed however, is not
more than four or five miles per hour.
The boiler is in the body, and is heated
by gasoline; the engine is just below the
boiler and capable of 5000 revolutions
per minute. From the engine the ex-
haust pipe leads to the nose of the figure.
whence the steam escapes when the ma
chine is in motion. Through the head the
smoke fue is carried, and the products
Of combustion escape from the top of the
helmet. The steam gauge is placed by
the side of the neck. The skirts of the
armor open like doors, so as to give free
access to the engine. The main body Of
the figure is made of heavy tin.

Origin of the Restaurants,

A French paper, in discussing the word
restaurant" now part of the language
of every county, gives the following his
tory of its origin: "A landlord, bearing
the appropriate name OF Boulanger, whose
house was in the Rue des Precheurs,
Paris, In order to draw patrons, decided
in I774 to keep bouillon, boiled eggs.
roasted chickens and other edibIes ready
at all hours of the day, rather than at only
three certain periods. He announced
this plan upon great shield above his
door, bearing the following inscription:
'Nenite ad me omnes, qui stonacbo
labor, ats, ct ego tres taurabo vos.'
The announcement excited talk, the
passers-by laughed and entered the
house to restore themselves. The inn
became famous and other Parisian land
lords began to initiate the inventive
Boulanger, by calling their inns 'restau-
rants and themselves 'restaurauters.'

living at Gratz. where he commands a
brigade of the Austrian army, while the
countess resides at Vienna, having an in
dependent establishment of her own.
The Duchess of Alencon, youngest
sister of the Empress of Austria, has
never entirely recovered the mental
shock caused by the manner in which she
was Tilted by the late King Louis of Ba-
varia, and although she has since became
the wife OF the Duke of Alencon and has
had several children, yet she is forced to
spend from time to time periods ranging
from six weeks to six months in the pri-
vate insane asylum at Gratz in Austria.
where so many royal personages have
been confined.
Her eldest sister, Princess Helen of
Bavaria, was likewise Tilted by the pres
ent Emperor OF Austria, who, after being
duly atfianced to her, fell deeply in love
with her younger sister, Elizabeth, on
the. eve OF the date appointed for the
wedding, and married the latter instead.
Princess Helen subsequently married the
Prince ofThurn and 1axis, and remained
to the last day Of her life the warmest
friend and most trusted counselor of EN-
press Elizabeth and OF Francis Joseph.
