From the English Illustrated Magazine.
The Central Australian aboriginc is the
living representative Of a stone age. who
still fashions his spear heads and knives
from flint sandstone and performs the
most daring scrgical OPERATORS wiki them.
His origin and history are lost in the
gloomy mists of the past. He has no writ
ten records and few oral traditions. In
appearance he is naked. hirsutc savage,
with type of features occasionally pro-
nouncedly Jewish. He is by nature light
hearted. merry and prone to laughter; a
splendid mimic. supple -jonted. with an
unerring hand that works in perfect uni
son with his eye. which is as keen as that
of an eagle. He has never been known
to wash. He has no private ownership OF
land, except as regards that which is not
overcarefully concealed about his own per-
son. He cultiyates nothing. but lives en-
though the thermometer frequently ranges
from IL degrees to l2o degrees Fahr. I'm
twenty-four hours, and his country Is
teeming with furred game. he makes no
use of the skins for clothing. hut goes about
during the day and sleeps in the open at
night perfectly nude. He builds no psrma-
nent habtation and usually camps where
night or fatigue overtakes him. Above all
he IS absolutely untamable You may
clothe and care for him for years. when
suddenly the demon of unrest takes pos
and plunges into the trackless depths OF
his native bush, at once revertng TO his
old and hideous customs, and when sated,
after months OF prlvation. he will return
again to clothing and civilization, only to
repeat the performance later on.

the building on the first floor. This is in
the form Of q large semicircle, with q
diameter OF 6 feet. and affording a seating
capacity for an audience of go persons.
The proscenium opening is 81 feet wide and
"a feet high, with depth of 13 feet. About
one-half Of the seating space In front Of
the rostrum is left level, and the rest is
divided by three steel riders into success
sive tiers Of seats. Wide aisles give easy
access to the entire floor. Light Is afforded
from the roof of hammered glass 30 feet
overhead. The entrance to this audito-
rum is from the New York avenue door
way. The auditorium is intended for lee
lures on art and kindred subjects incident
to the conduct of the Corcoran School of
Art
The Corcoran School of Art Is a most
fortunate beneficiary of the gallery. 1t will
nave larger and more convenient working
nome than any similar institution in this
country. Seven or eight large studios are
provided on the first, second and third
noors. besides a room in the basement, cor
responding in size to the auditorium. All
or these rooms are from 70 to 30 feet high.
and amply lighted by large windows those
on the second floor being feet wide and
l2l2 feet high. with piers only feet wide
between the several windows. thus secur-
ing the greatest volume of light consistent
with the safety of the outer walls of the
building. The first floor studios have one
window, feet by 10 in the clear. and two
others. 31e feet by feet. The studio
rooms IN the basement beneath have Win
dows of corresponding size A large studio
room on the third floor is lit by a skylight
in the roof.
The COrcOran School.
The corcoran School of Art had its ori-
gin in the privilege granted to students of
drawing from the casts and marbles and
copying from the pictures in the gallery on
specified days in the week The interest
shown by these students. and the promise
which many of them exhibited suggested
TO Mr.. Corceran the advisability of secur-
ing a teacher for their instruction, and in
1887 E. f. Andrews, pupil of Dusseldorf
Academy, and one of the most prominent
artists in Washington. was put in charge
of the class. Under his direction its num-
bers SO increased that class rooms became
necessary for it's accommodation. and in
1888 building was erected in the rear of
the gallery and fitted up for its use. Mr..

cs ption of itr real size than can be had from
the outside. The basement Is composed Of
Milford pink granite, above which is
superstrrcture of Georgia white marble,
while the inside trimmings are of Indiana
limestone. The lower story of the building
is pierced by windows. The solidity of the
secord Is relieved by panels of marble, orna-
n.ented with carving in open work. and be-
tween them and the richly adorned cornice
is a narrow frieze. upon which the names of
illustrious painters and Sculptors are in
scribed. The roof is of glass. surmounted
by a bronze crest, which Is finished at
either end by winged grifhns An interest
ing feature of the exterior is the pair OF
colossal bronze lions guarding the main
entrance. which were cast from molds
made over Canova's famous lions in ST.
Paui's at Rome. These two lions are famil-
lar figures In Washington, for they crouched
and glared on either side Of the doorway Of
the cid gallery for many years. There, 1t
will be remembered, they faced the street.
but at the entrance to the new gallery they
placed that they face each others
Ike sentinels at the door.
The Atrium.
Passing through this entrance a broad
and easy flight of stairs leads direct to the
main corridor or atrium. II is the largest
apartment in the building. and as one en-

and 80 wide. running north and south of
the main entrance on the first floor and
reaching up to the glass roofing above A
gallery. the walls of which are reserved for
paintings, encircles it, and is supported by
massive fiuted columns of Indiana lime
stone. The room itself is used exclusively
for the exhibition of statuary, but it con-
tains only portion of the collection, for
there are a number of other rooms leading
out of the atrium which are given over to
the marbles, casts and bronZeS.
Ore of these smaller rooms is devoted en-

way tnat VIII be more than pleasing to the
visitors. In several of the rooms only
single line of pictures has been hung and
there has been no necessity for 'skying'
any.
The Walls.
The choice OF a background for the pic
lures strikes the visitor as a most happy
one. The walls are all hung with burlap
In dull and suitable colors, for the most
part reds and greens. and this dead back
ground seems to bring out to the fullest ex-
tent all the light and colcr in the pictures.
Another novelty is seen in the ingenious
manner of hanging the pictures. No wires
are in sight anywhere. Set in the plaster
or the walls al intervals of a foot are wood

drive into these iron brackets capable of
sustaining the heaviest frames and can
vases On these the pictures rest and are
held In place by hooks driven into the
WOODWORK of the walls. In case 1t Is de-
sired TO change the position of the pictures
the brackets can be pulled out and leave no
marks or scars in the burlap, such as they
would in plaster wallis
1ne new gallery Is lighted at night by
eiectricity and Is heated by steam gener-
ated by huge boilers located in the base
ment. In the gallery there are in all nearly
1880 incandescent burners. so that it can
re open Of evenings and thus be source
or pleasure to thousands whose occupations
are such as to bar them from visiting the
gallery in the daytime. 1t Is also an as
sured fact that the gallery will in time be
thrown open on Sunday afternoons.
The Main Galleries.
The main galleries for paintings are
three large rooms that together form a gall
lery 2G feet wide by 10 feet long These
extend along the 18th street side of the
building. Five other smaller galleries
equivalent in dimensions to a gallery 26
feet wide by go feet long extend along
the south and west sides Of the building as

Work on the new building has been in

Is now complete in every particular. the
pictures, statues and casts are all il, place

event.
There will be no formal exercises at the
Evening star., 1897-02-20

wherever room could be found for them.
AS it is now. these collections can be kept
together and hung in such a manner as to
be satisfactory to owners and visitors
alike. In this room now are hung a num-
ber of fine modern works that have been
loaned by Mr.. w. J. Hutchinson formerly
of this city. Others already in place in
clude portraits of Mrs. A. C. Barney and
the late Admiral Porter, and a number of
fine pictures that belonged to the late Mr.
j. c. Mcclure. and have been placed in the
gallery by Mr.. F. b. Mcclure.
The Auditorium.
One of the finest features of the gallery
is a large auditorium in the north end of
