this porch will be placed the huge bronze
lions that now rest at the door Of the old
gallery on Pennsylvania avenue. The posi-
tion of these lions will be changed from
that In which they are now placed. In
stead of lying parallel to each other they
will be placed facing each other, thus
giving a side view of each one and adding
considerably to the dignity and effect of

PEDESTAL upon which at some future time
will be placed statue. The vestibule,
fifty feet wide and twenty deep, will be
finished in Indiana limestone, with a beau
tiful arrangement Of pilasters, columns,
pedestals and riches for statues.
Up short flight of steps from the vesti-
bule the visitor will enter the atrium. This
Is the largest room in the gallery, being
over one hundred feet long. and about fifty
wide. and open to the skyHght with the
exception of a space running directly back
from the entrance, which affords passage
on the second floor from the grand stair
case to the gallery rooms along the 18th
street side Of the building. This large
atrium, which is noble example of a
spacious room, has at right and left of
the main passageway across the gallery
forty fiuted- Doric columns. rising twenty
two feet and supporting gallery running
around the atrium on the second floor.
Rising from this gallery floor and sup
porting the immense skylight are also
forty columns fiuted In the Doric style.
These columns, while beautiful specimens
Of the severe Grecian style of architecture,
and by their multiplicity giving mag
nificent and impressive effect. have rea-
son for their presence, and blend beauty
with usefulness in the practical work of
supporting the roof. Thus to their fine
architectural Importance is added the dig
nifty Nof being an obvious and necessary
part of the structure.
The grand staircase leading from the
first to the second story Is across the
atrium on the west side of the building.
This staircase is twenty feet wide, and
rises to a landing where It divides into two
flights, extending 20 the second floor. The
staircase really occupies spacious hall
about forty feet square and something over
forty feet high. At the landing Is a large
triple window of stained glass. In niche
beneath this window place is provided for
a statue of Mr.. Corcoran.
The steps of the grand staircase will be
of Georgia marble. and the wainscoting,
plasters and balu5trades of Indiana lime
stone. Having long approach from
across the atrium, the fine effect of the
stained glass windows and the beautifully
finished walls and balustrades will strike
the visitor at once upon entering the build
ing.
This staircase will be without a rival in
any of the public buildings in Washington.

corresponding size. A large studio room
on the third floor is lit by a skylight tn the
roof.
The building is equipped with but one
elevator and this is extremely large
one, intended only for freight uses. 1t is
five feet deep and fourteen feet wide. The
elevator well is directly behind the pros
cenium of the auditorium hall, the open
ings to the elevator being into the atrium.
This elevator will accommodate the largest
pictures likely to be ever exhibited in the
gallery. Even Cabanels immense Moses
can be taken up on this elevator.
The entire building will be heated, light
ed and ventilated perfectly as modern
architectural skill can provide. There will
be 3,033 electric lights distributed through
out the atrium and the various galleries
and studios. An equal number OF gas lights
will provide an alternative means of illumi-
nation. The heating of the building will
be by the method Of indirect radiation, a
large and complete steam plant being plac-
ed in the subbas ement Radiators will be
used in the window recesses, where they
will not obtrude upon the available floor
space and will at the same time counteract
cold air radiated from the glass of the WIN
dows. In the galleries radiators will be
placed within the seats provided for Wis
itors.
The atrium will be heated by the hot air

MAGNIFICENT ARCHITECTURAL EFFECTS
The Building Will Be Completed by
Next May.
INGENIOUS STONE CUTTING

It is now nearly two years since ground
was broken for the new Corcoran Art Gal
lery building. In the interval the work of
construction has progressed as rapidly as
every new and ingenious device In stone
cutting and masonry could be made to con-
tribue to the saving of time and accom-
plisbment of results. Taking into account
literally the work Of interior finishing and
equipment, it is not expected that the build
ing will be entirely ready for occupancy
before the 1st of next May.
1t is safe to say that in point of size,
convenience and architectural design this
new gallery building when finished will
deserve to rank among the foremost gal
leries of the world. The style of archi-
lecture is. the Neo-Grecian, the exterior
walls being entirely of the finest Georgia
marble. laid in alternating courses of
thick and thin stones, the marble being
substantially backed with brick and the
entire wall strengthened by bond stones
reaching into the brick backing
There are two entrances to the gallery
the main one being on 18th street, and the
other on New York avenue. The latter
Is intended chiefly for the use Of the Cor
ccran Art School, which has been magni-
fcently provided for in the plans of the
new building. The main entrance will be

art. Only the originals in marble will,
therefore. be seen in the atrium. The gal
lery of the atrium will also be wainscoted
in limestone, and the walls covered with
furrowing projecting from the brick walls.
This method of finishing the walls, while
far less expensive than the usual plaster
ing, also saves space and a great deal Of
time in finishing the. building, at the same
time affording background which can on
occasion be renewed fnexpensively. The
finish is one which Is thoroughly beyond
criticism, and most pleasing In its artistic
effect.
This atrium gallery is available for the
display of canvases, If its use should ever
become necessary. Very little. however, or
its wall space would be regarded as favor
able for pictures of any size. as the gallery
is but eight feet wide, clear OF pilasters
and balustrade.
The outer and the inner partition walls
throughout the building are double, tnus
giving an air space conducive to strength
and dryness and securing absolutely hre-
proof conditions. All of the roof that IS
visible overhead in the atrium and all the
galleries will be an apron of hammered
glass, supported by steel beams This
glass will be translucent and OF great
strength. The same character of glass
will cover the galleries as well as the
atrium.
The main galleries for paintings are three
large rooms that together. form gallery
26 feet wide by ITO long. These extend
along the 18th street side Of the building.
Five other smaller galleries, equivalent in
dimensions to a gallery 26 feet wide by
80 feet long, extend along the south and
west sides Of the building as far as the
grand staircase. The three main galleries
are thirty feet high. The five smaller
rooms are twenty feet high.
One of the finest features Of the gallery
is a large auditorium at the north end of
the building on the first floor. This is In
the form Of a large semicircle, with di-
ameter of sixty-six feet, and affording
seating capacity for an audience of $50 per-
sons. The proscenium opening Is thirty
seven feet wide and thirtyfour high, with
a depth Of thirteen feet About one-half
of the seating space in front of the ros-
trum is left level. and the rest is divided
by three steel risers into successive tiers
of seats. Wide aisles give easy access to
the entire floor. Light Is afforded from
the roof of hammered glass, fifty feet over
head. The entrance to this auditorium is
from the New York avenue doorway. The
auditorium Is intended for lectures on art
and kindred subjects Incidental to the con-
duct of the Corcoran Art School.

A Noted Aftcr-Dfnner TnIker Relates
His Experiences.
From the Phladelphil Iress
I asked General Horace Porter whether
the immunity after-dinner speaker en-
Jcyed at midday dinner endeared the
latter to him.
I've never minded making an after
dinner speech particularly" said he "Five
hundred? I've made a great many more
than that. And the prospect of having one
to make never took away my appetite
or impaired my digestion, or even inter-
fered with my enjoyment of the occasion
in the least. But there are many eminent
men, speakers, who are frequently heard
at such times, and next to whom 1 have
sat often, who are physically and gen.
timely distressed until they have finished
what they have to say. The knowledge
that they are to be called on, later on, to
arise and speak is actually painful to them
They enjoy nothing, have no appetite, and
seem unable to enter into the spirit of
the occasion and the conversation Of those
about them. Some speakers dine at home
before going out to a public dinner be-
cause they know they can't enjoy the
latter. Others get up from the table and
walk around outside to compose their
thoughts. I have observed this. And 1t is
mainly those who feel that some distin-
expected of them who experience this dis
treSs.
'I never make a note, even when I know
I'm to speak and what the subject is to be-
make it point to make no studied
preparation of any kind beforehand. News
paper anecdotes and incidents? They
would be old by the time I wanted to use
them-things go the rounds so quickly
these days. I have never prepared notes
since once in my early life, when I got
my notes and my ideas so mixed up that
they disguested me. A man must dine, so
after all, he is making no very great sacri-
fee of time when he attends a dinner
where he is to speak. If he doesn't pre-
pare in advance he can't be said to be
giving away his intellectual effort, his
labor. as 1t We're. He meets interesting
people from all over the country, and that
is a pleasure which I appreciate at such
times. Personally. I endeavor to use the
incidents Of the occasion, any event of the
evening and the speeches of those who
have gone before me. 1 don't even file
away material in my mental pigeonholes
until the night when I am to speak. But
that is all a matter of habit. Some men,
you know, write all their own letters"

A Tendency to Make Them Models Of
Convenience and Hygienfc Comfort.
From the New York Times
The suitable living of retinue Of serv-
ants has most important connection with
the health and welfare of the family which
employs 1t. This is being more and more
recognized by our wealthy citizens. Per-
haps in no home is the principle more COM
pletely demonstrated than in the new VAN
derbilt home at 5Sth street and 9Th avenue
Here everything has been done throughout
the servants quarters. their work rooms
and their living rooms, to make them
models of convenience, hygienic excellence
and comfort The one fact that every bed
room mas Its own bath hundreds of dollars
being expended in completing the whole
number, will serve to illustrate the gem
erous hand with which outlay has been
made to secure perfection.
In very nearly all the new mansions re-
Gently built In New York servants baths

that 1t should nave been a necessity long
ago Established as those doing manual
labor naturally require most frequent bath
Ing. Instead of this, even very magnificent
houses are entirely devoid of water ac-
Communications in servants rooms. Four
walls fnclose the space set apart for the
girls rooms" and too many show very
poor toilet utensils supplied by the mis-
tress What a pity the use of natures
gilt should be denied those who need IL
most because culpable indifference and
stinginess see fit to supply such meager
accommodations. Water air and light are
not luxuries, except as we choose to make
them so. Water, especially, should not be
considered, 1t is by many, an article
to be gingerly doled out to a servant in a
small basin, for the purpose of dabbing
out the sleep in her eyes before she begins
her days round of labor. She should have
such generous accommodate tions for bathing
that few lessons on their use and value
would be demonstrated in a daily plunge.

The first floor of the atrium will be
wainscoted with polished limestone and

Here in the future the visitor will find the

agains. the construction for filtering works

| against the construction for filtering works,
| largely on account of economical reasons.
| From sanitary point of view. sedimen-
| tary basins alone will not afford us protec-
tion against disease germs, and it is no
consolation to know that our water supply
is as good as that Of any other city, for
there is scarcely city in the United States
which has a safe water supply, and near
ly all are confronted with the problem of
how to prevent river pollution and guard
their water supply. The large cities of
Europe have long since found 1t necessary
to protect their water against disease
germs and filth by the construction of fl
tering works. Of which Col. Elliot speaks SO
| approvingly, and Frankland tells US that
by means of these filtering basins from 80
to 90 per cent Of the micro-organisms are
removed from the London water. This is
all the more important'when we remember
that 1t has been shown over and over
again that the ordinary domestic filters do
not efficiently eliminate the bacteria from
contaminated water, and secondly, the ma
jority of inhabitants are too poor to buy
any kind of filter, much less the more
reliable and expensive patterns.
But apart from all this it ought not to
be necessary for the householder to adopt
domestic precautions to insure pure and
wholesome quality of water, which one of
the most essential articles of food it is
clearly the duty of the state or municipal
government to do SO.
The capital Of this nation ought to be
model sanitary city, and an object lesson
to every town or city in the Union, a posi-
ton which 1t can scarcely hope to attain
With our present water system. I believe
that the expenditure of even five times the
estimated cost of the filtering basins would
prove the best kind of an investment not
only because Of our own health, but also
on account of the increased population and
corresponding values of property, resulting
from the reputation of Washington as a
healthful city.
Prevent River Pollution.
'"The first and most important step to
secure pure water supply for this and
other cities which obtain their supply from
streams is the prevention Of river pollu-
ton, and this involves the proper disposal
of sewage. preferably by the irrigation
system, in all the towns and cities within
the respective watersheds. and from the
source to the mouth of the rivers The
next step is the construction Of sedimen-
tary and f1ltering basins, and a watchful
care and frequent meteorological examina-
tion of the water. Until this is accom-.
plished 1t will be wise for us to filter and
boil our water. Boiled water has lost it's
pungent, pleasant taste, and should be SUBJ
1ected to thorough aeration, which may be
done by pouring 1t back and forth through
the air a few times. or by blowing air into
1t by means of small bellows. All this is
slightly troublesome. but we have the
satisfaction Of knowing that the chances
for imbibing disease germs in a living
state are extremely slight

Ernest Flagg, a graduate of the Beaux

Perhaps the most interesting information
in connection with the new gallery comes
from a visit to the large stone-working
factory which Ncrcross Brothers erected
on the rear part Of the CELERY site. Here

be taken from the rear of the building into
the basement and there heated and forced

tho ceiling and under the stage. A draft
