The evolution OF any public enterpris
can never fail 10 arouse the interest OF
those who take the trouble 10 trace its
development. and the opportunity fer so
doirg is just st this time especially offer
ed 10 Rhode Islands citizens. tomorrow
is to see laid the cornerstone of the
State Capitol an event OF signal import
ance in the history of the commonwealth
and one tba, marks significantly the
gradual growth in strength of this much
discussed State House ids'.
The present Capitol building is about
136 years old--an aga that surely entities
II tn retire from active public life. In
point of fact, the eligibility OF this par
ticu.ar structure TO a place on the list cf
superarnuatod pieces of architecture was
evident 10 the minds OF the people many
years back, though previous to 1890 only
spesmodic attempts had been made TO
secure any definite action regarding the
matter. But in the year mentioned
under the administration OF Governor
Ladd and subsequently, during tnat of
Governor Brown, definite steps were
taken 10 secure to Rhode Island State
building adequate TO her needs and
co npotible with her position.
The site chosen for the new Capitol is
all that can lie desired In point OF To-
cation, combining, as il does, easy access
from every part OF the city with CON-
mandlng position and generous space.
In such a sItuation as the one selected on
Smiths hill Rhode Islands state House
will easily command the eye from any
point in Narragsnsett Bay.
From the fact that Rhode Island Is a
small State 1t does not by any means fol-
low that she can content herself with
small capitol, for, of course, her state
aepartp ents are as numerous as those In
any other State OF the Union and each
department must have It's allotted quart
ers The following dimensions are those
of the State House as now planned:
Length, s33 feet; width, 123 feet; hoight
az dome from the ground, 244 feet.
4 hese measurements give q somewhat
larger structure than that originally de-
signed, but they have the excellent quality
OF providing ample space not only for
pfcsoht iequHohShts, ,put hlso iV' i"Auie
needs. This enlarging of the plan from
its original proportions has demsned
much thought and skill In order to secure
the desired additional accommodations
without injuring the Architectural cor
rectness OF proportion in the building.
The material from which the Capitol IS
built is to consist of Rhode Island gran
ite in the foundation with Georgis marble
for the superstructure and this com mbina-
tion, embodying the beauty Of design
that it must when completed according
to the plan decided upon, will give TO
Rhode Island a state edihce second TO
uone In architectural beauty and con-
vsnience Of arrangement.

fer TO make their fight in the party, ana
that they ask nothing that is unrea-
sonable or unpatriotIc, or that could not
be granted by the Legislature without

arbitrate any question submitted, unless
ali the parties in interest agree that they

Professor Liversidge, Of the University
of Sydney. Australia, has shown. by
satisfactory chemical tests. that all sea-
water contains In solution as much as
half a grain of gold per ton, and in some
portions of the sea there is as much as
one grain of gold per ton of sea-water.
AT the lower rate, a cubic mile of sea-
water would contain 100 tons of gold.
worth 100000. The 300,Oc00O0 cubic
miles of sea-water on the globe would
contain gold to the value of 1880 900. Ooo,
100000.
Professor Liversidge got his gold by
treating sea-water with a salt of iron
and hydrochloric acid and evaporating. A
film Of iron oxide was formed on the
side Of the containing vessel. This was
scraped off and treated with chloride.
hydrochloric acid, and chloride of tin.
precipitate thus obtained was made
in the furnace to yield globule of gold.
The New York Sun says. however. that
an easier method is proposed. 1t has
been suggested that current Of electri-
city would cause the gold to attach itself
to a copper plate suspended in the sea,
after the method adopted by persons who
eild articles from solutions Of gold. This
deposited gold could be scraped off and
purified. and the supply would be prac-
tically exhaustible.

CLAY AND HOWELL.

The Georgia senatorial contest. after
narrowing down TO Clay and Howell, re-
suited in the nomination of Clay.
Mr. Clay has been chairman of the
State Democratic Committee for four
years. and in that position has done
excellent service. We doubt not that he
is both worthy and capable, but our
sympathy was with Howell.
As the leading spirit in the Atlanta
Constitution, Evan p. Howell has been
one Of the most valuable citizens Geor-
gia ever had. He has been a tower Of
strength politically to the State, and
has also been the means of advertising
its resources far and wide. He has the
satisfaction of knowing that the vote
he received in the Democratic caucus
was very large, and that though he is
not to be senator just yet. he may still
address a very great and appreciative
audience through the columns Of the Con-
stitution. Colonel Howell is also presi-
dent Of the Southern Associated Press
that great organization which collects
and distributes Geographic news through
the South, and. which will hold its annual
meeting here to-day.
