WHERE PRESIDENT DAVIS WILL RES,
Location of the Section and How 1t Can
BE Reached.


Hundreds Of persons visit Hollywood
every afternoon when the weather is fair.
Many of these seek the spot where the re-
mains Of President Davis are 10 be re-
inferred, and numbers OF others would DO
so II they knew exactly where TO hnd II.
The location and its surroundings once
seen are not easily forgotten. There Is
naturally no more beautiful place in all of
Richmond's great city of the dead, nor one
the attractions OF which are more capable
OF being enhanced by artificial means.
sHE SITUATION.
The place selected by Mrs. Davis for the
final resting-place of her husbands re-
mains is in the western part or new addi-
ton of Hollywood on the plane of half
amphtheatre on "a somewhat abrupt Slope
overlooking the river.
In this sub-plateau are three large Sec
tions-one at the extreme west, circular
in form and 40 feet IN diameter, another
elliptical in form and lG0 feet in IFS shortest
diameter, and third triangular in shape.
with its base line parallel TO the river.
There is also between the circle and the
western elOngation of tho elllpse fourth
section which is small and irregular in
shape, The circular plat Is the Davis Sec
ton. To the north of the plane rising
from semi.circular base-line TO the main
plateau, and at an angle OF about 45 de-
grees, IS swarded background about 90
feet IN height. TO the south the ground
breaks from the edge of the sub-plateau
to the river IN irregular surfaces.
VERY SECLUDED.
The situation Is very secluded, but is at
the same time accessible. One way TO
reach 1t is to follow the main drive III the
cemetery TO Midyale avenue. which enters
this drive at the branch, and from Mid
vale avenue turn into Riverside avenue.
Another course is westward directly over
the hill on which ~ located the Monroe
monument, and still another is Uia the
new road that is being made FROM point
opposite the Old pump house and along
the river bluff to the section.
On the main plateau above the amphi-
theatre are the Talbot. the Ellysou. tho
Randolph, and other handsome monu-
ments, which will serve as guides TO the
visitors. The walks between the sections
in the sub plateau have been land OF and
gravelled and the elliptical plot will be
improved on the lawn system, which OBJ
tains very largely in tho cemeteries North,
but has not yet beon introduced here.
President Dayis's grave will be III the CEN
tire of the Davis section and will be bricked
up, and his children will be buried around
him.

When this subterranean dairy is dug
in stiff clay there is but little if any
danger Of water rising in them, es-
pecially if cemented on the inside. 1t
is useless to dig them in sand. After
the excavation is completed and the
woodwork finished, then the dirt must
be thrown back on top of the flooring,
making q long conical pile reaching
the full length of the excavation, MAX
ing it steep enough on each side to shed
all rainWater, which, if it is of the
right kind Of material-that is, stiff
clay-it will readily do. Those who
prefer so to do, can simply cover the
floor with eight to twelve inches of
dirt, level it off, then build a house
over it,
The temperature in these UNDER
ground dairies is comparatively even
both summer and winter, ranging dur
ing the hot summer months from 60 to
68 deg. Fahrenheit: average tempera-
ture, G5 deg. The plan practiced by
some Of susPending milk ia the we'll
can hardly be to strongly condemned.
If a very small portion of the milk is
accidentally OF through carelessness
spilled in the we'll, the water, for drink
ing purposes, is ire trievably ruined.
We have seen good wells ruined just
that way. If obliged to use we'll water
as a refrigerating agent, draw the wa
ter out Of the well and use it elsewhere.
Ice is too expensive, even at
one cent a pound, for those who
used it but little. and the only
advantage we could discover from it's
use was that it FASTENED the cream to
the surface in a short space of time.
This Fastening of the cream to the s2lr-
face can be brought about just as sU"e-
ly, as speedily, and far more econom-
ically, by diluting the milk This plan,
which is fast coming into use wherever
it is known, and in the absence Of ice,
pensive and q saving Of both ice and
la DOR. Inc warm milk from the COW IS
strained into a can till it is half filled;
then fill up the can with cold spring or
we'll water, which Rrates the milk
and Immediately reduces it's tempera-
ture to about 70 degrees, even
in the warmest of weather. All the
cream will separate and rise to the
surface in less than four hours. This
being the case, the cream may be
skinned off from the top, or the com
bined milk and water drawn off 10y a
faucet from the bottom of the can till
the cream appears, which is then
drawn off into a separate vessel; the
can or cans used for the mornings
milk are ready to be used for the
nights milk. In spite Of the economy,
simplicity and ease Of the latter
method, we must confess our prefer
ence for O spring houses; (2) where
all other necessary facilities are pres
