The striking features with which kind
nature has endowed the Park have been
added TO by the mechanical genius OF man,
for almost within mile OF the great
tomb colossal structures have been erected
and today this part of the city Is practl-
cally the scholastic center of the metropo-
lis. although some of these buildings are
not yet entirely completed. The new
Columbia University buildings on the
heights to the east of the park are OF
great architectural beauty. Near them is
the new Barnard College. Just beyond
on the elevation of Morningside Heights
is the Teachers College; St Lukes Hos
pital also overlooks these heights and at
night its many lighted windows shine
like some heavenly constellation. Some OF
the heights will be crowned with the new
Protestant Episcopal Cathedral OF st.
John the divine which for size ana
grandeur, promises to surpass anything
on this continent and TO rival the ancient
cathedrals of Europe.

the tomb Is something more than two feet
below the surface of the knoll, and Is
reached by stone steps from the door. FOR
the proper placing of the coffin and its
steel casing, brick piers were built up
from the floor tO above the door level
The tomb was declared finished shortly
after noon on Friday, August Z, and the
steel casing having been set on the piers,
everything was in readiness for the plac-
ing OF the coffin in it on the following
day.
In the years which followed, some i'm
provements were made on the temporary
tomb. The walls of brick were plastered
with white cement, IA grated door took
the place of the original one of iron and
oak about the three-foot iron cross a
metal initial sc" was artistically woven,
and a marble casing covered the brick
piers which supported the steel case.
Through the grated door, mourners and
sight-seers looked into the dingy interior,
saw the case OF steel with its one light
point at front where was the inscription
I'm letters of silver ~. ;. Grant, died
July 23 1855.
Although a constant guard was kept at
this tomb, and the grating kept always
locked, half % dozen years ago the guard
ians discovered one day that two names
had been scratched on the face of the steel
casing to the casket. The guard was more
strictly kept after that and the vandals
who doubtless would have carried away
the very bricks of the wall If permitted,
were kept away.
Now the old tomb, having served its
purpose well, rests in the shadow of the
granite monument, unguarded and un-
sung.
The Steel Casket.
During the eleven years and eight
months that the body of General Grant
was in the temporary tomb it was en-
closed in three collins. There was one of
copper and cedar one of polished cedar,
and one of steel. The two first are now
sealed In the sarcophagus which is in the
crypt of the now tomb, the steel casket
having been removed. Its place has been
taken by five tons of solid granite.
The first coffin is air tight and is con-
sidered indestructable. IL is six feet long
and the outer case of cedar is covered
with black cloth The metallic inter ior is
copper, highly polished, and is one-eighth
Of an inch thick. The frames and portals
are of solid silver; the top is open the
full length and covered with heavy
French plate, beveled glass. Over this
glass the lid fits to make the copper coffin
complete, and on the lid is gold plate, fixed
with gold screws, which hears the inscrip-
