Jnpsp,s Grea, Cathedral.

When foreign architects VISIT Japan
and see the Cathedral Of Buddhism fof
the first time they are generally as
tonished at the magnificent structure.
II Is executed In pure Oriental style,
and is richly ornamented with carv.
ings. II. Ito, famous builder, OF
Nagova City, designed It. The stiuc
ture was commenced In 1878, and was
completed this year. The cost has been
estimated at $17,0J0,OO0. II would have
greatly exceeded this amount had not
numbers of Buddhists worked without
any recompense.
As the structure neared completion
the committee having the work In
charge was much perplexed as to fire
insurance. They found that no com.
pany would assume the risk on such
/. valuable wooden structure, the danger
of destruction by fire being very great,
/ and thus the premiums would amount
\ TO an enormous sum of money. At last
/ the committee decided on a design de-
| viscd by DIR. Tanabe. Numbers OF
powerful foundations were construct.
| ed, both exterior and interior, which
can be made to play on all parts OF the
structure at the same time.
Usually only one great ornamental
fountain Is playing, rising TO the great
hight of 157 feet. This Is probably the
largest artificial fountain In existence,
emitting S2.0S0 gallons per hour. In
case Of fire all the water pressure is d.
rected through the numbers OF exterior
and interior fountains. thus every part
Of the structure. both inside and out,
could soon he drenched, and any con-
aagration soon extinguished.

There is more than one food
which will cause the body to
increase in weight. A free
supply Of sugar will do this,
so will the starchy foods;
cream, and some other fats.
But to become fleshy, and yet
remain in poor health, is not
what you want. Cod-liver oil
increases the weight because
it is a fat-producing food. But
ii does far more than this. 1t

TO ADVERTISE The STATE
Gigantic Scheme 10 Make Known
Our Attractions
Abroad.
Hundreds of Thousands of Embsl.
lished Maps to Be Distributed
in the East.

The State Development committee is in
dustriously prosecuting scheme which
its members believe will rebound to the
material benefit of the entire State. and
particularly of the central and bay coun-
ties. which have allowed the south to
somew outstrip them in the race for
Eastern recognition. The proposition is
to advertise the State and the individual
counties subscribing to the project in a
manner that will be at once attractive and
persuasive. The method adopted is the
issuance of numbers of handsomely en-
bellished maps of the State. In the up
per right-hand corner of each map is re-
served space TO be occupied by an en-
larged map of q particular county. On
the reverse side of the map is large
amount of space for descriptive reading,
illustrations or any other matter calcu-
lated to attract attention to the State and
to the distributing county.
Each county will be called upon to SUBJ
scribe for large number of these maps.
which will be supplied at actual cost.
Maps will then be printed specially for
each, and they will be allowed to fill the
reverse side with such matter as they
choose.
The proposition has already been laid
before the business men of Alameda
County. and they readily subscribed $4,000
for 100000 copies. OF these the merchants
took two-thirds to distribute, and allowed
the committee to retain one-third. The
committee is in possession of the ad-
dresses of $50, 900 capitalists, and so is well
equipped for placing such matter.
An effort is now being made to get the
SAP Francisco business men interested in
the project. The committee believes that
at least 500. 600 should be sent out from
here, and the members believe they will
have no trouble In getting subscriptions.
1t is the intention to have the reverse side
of the maps printed for this City contain
handsome illustrations of prominent
buildings.
