In the rotunda are eight gigantic female

Pratt; Poetry, by Adams; Science, by Dom

Flanagan, and Religion, by Baur. Sixteen
bronze portrait-statues of heroic size, rang
ed around the gallery balustrade, define
ate two recognized masters or expounders
of each Of the subjects represented by the
corresponding ideal figures. Thus a statue
of Michael Angelo. by Bartlett, and a
statue of Beethoven, by Baur. represent

and Moses, by Niehaus, and st. Paul, by
Donoghue, for Religion.
The chief plastic figures in the entabla-
ture Of the rotunda were modelled by Mar
tiny. The stucco sculptures of the whole
interior of the dome and elsewhere were
modelled by Weinert, chief modeler In
the rotunda also Flanagan is working upon
large clock-piece eight feet square. in
dark marble and bronze; a composition
comprising a clock-dial, a figure of Father
Time" and other winged images, with oak
foliage behind and the signs of the zodiac
on mosaic background. The crown of
the dome and the crown of the lantern
overhead have been illuminated with large
allegorcal paintings by Blashfield, symbol
izng The Human Understanding and Con-
tributions to knowledge by Nations and
Ages.
Elsewhere in the building, besides all the
foregoing. an enormous amount of general
decoration in color we'll as in conyen-
tional and other designs, has been done by

to the collar at the senith. These spaces
In turn are each divided into eight rows Of
f1ve Golfers or panels each. making forty
panels in each division. or SD panels in the
whole vault, painted in various light tones
OF ethereal blue and green. gradually dimin-
ishing In strength as they approach the
zenith. Each panel. moreover, bears q
large golden rosette in its center, and each
is bounded and accentuated by lines OF
harmonious and distinctive color. BY this
means the blue sky is recalled In the vault
OF the dome, and thus the color as we'll as
the line carries the eye ineensibly and ir-
re sistibly onward and upward to the point
where the figure decoration expands in a
great band around the opening of the
crown. In this collar Blashfield has painted
his series of symbolical pictures in firm
colors. and above them his kindred COM
position in the crown OF the lantern, in airy,
peliucid tints suggestive OF the sky.
This illusion of liGhtncss in the dome and
this involuntary conduct Of the eye from
the base to the zenith are both consummat-
ed perfectly. although a like feat was
probably never undertaken before.
