D. H. Burnham, Of the Worlds Fair.
Later he was made designer-in-chief
for the exposition, and abundant la
boiy were then heaped on his shoulders.
He designed the Art Palace, the Peri
style and the Terminal Station. No
work at the exposition will remain
longer in the memory Of the beholders
than these three widely variant mas
terpieces of architecture.
The Art Palace alone remains, de-
light to the eyes Of thousands each day,
and an ornament to Jackson Park as
the home of the Columbian Museum.
The Art Palace was the purest eXempli
llcation of the beautiful old Greek archi-
lecture among all the structures at
the fair. 1t is Of the Ionic style. The
main portion of the building is 500 by
800 feet. 1t is intersected east and
west, north and south, by great nave
and transept, 100 feet wide and 70 feet
high. AT their intersection rises the
fattened dome so characteristic of the
buildings Of the Greeks. The dome Is
60 feet in diameter. 1t is surrounded
by a type of famous figure Of winged
victory. In the great interior are gal
leries "a feet above the floor and 40
feet wide, forming promenade around
the entire building. At either end Of
the main building are wings, partaklng
of the general style Of architecture and
surmounted by smaller domes.
The main building is entered by four
portals. adorned with sculpture and
approached by broad flights Of steps.
Great Corinthian columns beautify
these entrances. Colonades extend
along either side and add to the CLASH
cal beauty. The frieze Of the exterior
walls and the pediments of the entran-
ces were ornamented with sculptures OF
the masters of ancient art. The color
of the building gave the impression of
white marble. The main walls were of
brick, unlike those of other buildings
at the fair. They were covered with
white staff. The building is lighted
through skylights.
Mr.. Atwood's ideas in designing the
Art Palace were carried out happily
by it's location, which is fronting on
the lagoon, where broad sweeps of
steps lead down to the waters edge,
and terraces and balustrades beautify
the surroundings. The north front

SPLITTING BANK NOTES.
Clumsy Devices for CounterfeIting Five
Dollar Bills.

Many devices have been resorted to
by counterfeiters to raise genuine bank
notes as well as to manufacture bogus
ones, but one Of the most novel has
come to light within the last few days
at the United States subtreasurer's Of
flee in this city, says the Philadelphia
Record. 1t is not known whether the
plan was ever tried before, nor how
successful it was in this case, as it is
not known whether anybody was caught
by it. The scheme consisted of splitting
So and a 81 note and then pasting the
back Of the 81 note to the front of the
So note and the front of the 81 note to
the back Of the So note The mechan-
ical part Of the work was excellently
done, but the fraud could be detected
the moment the note was turned over.
An effort had been made to change
the "one" to Five" on the zone" side of
the new combined note, but it was done
so clumsily that the fraud would have
been seen at glance, and the only
hope of passing the notes as fives would
have been to pass them over with the
80 side up and trust to the man re-
ceiving it not to turn it over before
putting it away. The doctored notes
came to the subtreasury through one of
the banks, with the request that they
be allowed whatever they were worth.
The government always redeems notes
at the face value, and as the faces in
this case were of 81 and a SIS note Sc
was allowed. 1t is not known whether
the bank was caught on the split notes
or not.
A cleverly executed counterfeit S. ma
tional-bank note was also detected at
the subtreasury the other day. 1t was
on the First National bank of Tamauua
and was burned in several places to
give it an old appearance and then
pasted on q piece of paper as if to hold
it together. The fraud was first de-
tected by turning over one Of the cor
ners and detecting misspelled word
on the back.

two prizes for the state capitol at Hart
ford, Conn; a prize for the design Of
the court house in Springfield Mass,
and the first prize and commission to
build the city hall at Holyoke, Mass.
In 1875 Mr.. Atwood went to New York
to become the architect for the firm Of
Herter Brothers, and during the next
six years designed the residences Of
David BOWS, William H. Vanderbilt
Elliott f. Shepard and w. d. Sloan, all
In New York, besides the interior deco
rations of many Of the great houses in
all parts Of the country, notably that
Of Mrs. Mark Hopkins at San Fran

where he remained continuously for
two years and finished all the designs
for it's grand interior decorations, He
then entered the competition for the
new city hall in New York. He gained
the first prize of $4,000, and his design
was recommended by the board Of eX-
perts as the only one suitable to be ac-
cepted by the city authorities. Since
that time nothing has been done to-
ward the erection of thi9 building ex-
cept to change several times the state
laws governing its erection.
