The charges made in Italian papers
boms time ago that Russia had aided
Kirg Menelek in his campaign against
Italy, and that Russian arms and even
Russian soldiers had been sent to
Abyssinia, do not seem SO improbable
in the light of the report that the Gear
has conferred the Order of st. George
upon the African ruler. In view Of
the course adopted by Austria, Ger
many and Great Britain, this act, sim:
pie enough in its way and in other cir.
cumstances, borders on open defiance
Of the Triple Alliscs. The Gear seems
also to have chosen purposely the most
irritating way Of decorating King Men.

the inexperienced builder that house

q careful estimate, based on New York
prices for materials and labor, shows
this house will cost S2690. In many
sections of the country where lumber
is lower, or where the price OF labor is
cheaper, the cost should be much
less.

States can easily become the homo Of
210, 900, 900 people without overcrowd-

should have 21o, 900, 900 inhabitants
in about forty-6ve years from the

Southern States about 100000 in
hsbitants, and Georgia would have
about 5, 400, 900 population. provided
We grow as rapidly In the future as in
the past. Atlanta has frequently dou-
bled her population in ten years, but
even if she should hereafter doubled
it every thirty years she would at the
end OF fofty-fve years from now have
$4,000 population within her gates.
But will population continue to
double in this country every thirty
years? asks the Atlanta Constitution.
1t is not likely. Conditions have
changed. immigration has fallen off.
and it is safe to say that the growth
OF the country in future will be less
rapid. Still, it is probable that for
generations to come our population
will make long strides, and it is also
likely that the South and her cities
will grow more rapidly than in the
past. So, we come down to yerT

From tho time when this country
passed out of the beautiful simplicity
of the Colonial styis of house building;
architecture has been in rather cha

tinctively National style Of architec-
ture, nor have we been content long
to stick TO any one model. At first we
were pleased to follow the builders OF
England through the varying styles
that found acceptance in that country,
with an occasional copy of the worst
feature of French architecture. There
was also the reign of the Italian Villa,
and this has dotted its :monum ents all
over the land. Then came o time
when the country produceda few archi-
tects of commanding ability who were

out by convict in his cell while Eun-
dergoing the probationary nine months
to long term of Imprisonment.
The man was originally an archi-
tect, and among the foremost of his
profession. He was o gentleman by
birth and education, but in eagly life
began to abuse his natural gifts, and
at the time was undergoing his second
term of imprisonment for forgery.
The completion of the work occupied
him for nearly six months, and was eff
fected under great disadvantages. In
place of table, for instance, he had
to pin his paper to the wall of his cell,
moving it round with the sun in order
to obtain the best light.

marvellous specimen Of architectural

done BY an English convict. 1t meas

scale of hundredth part of an inch.
The convict displayed the greatest
interest and pride in the erection and
completion Of h9prison, which was
built entirely by convict labor. It
contains 1881 separate cells for prison
srs, which cost on an average 1851. rs
each, besides hospital wards and q
chapel.
The total number of bricks required
was 85, 900, 900, each one being made
by the convicts on the premises, or on
some adjoining land leased for the
purpose. The iron castings were OBJ
tanned from Portland or Chatham pri-
son, the granite from Dartmoor, and
the Portland stone from Portland.
The total cost Of the prison was more
than $4S5, 000.-Tit-Bits.
