The pastor of St. Francis de Sales
Church Travelled all over Europe from
Rome TO ST. Petersburg-to fnd a fitting
model for the great cdifce now being erect
ed in St Louis. He decided upon st Pau
lus Church of the Dominicans. in Berlin
Germany, and the building will be almost q
duplicate of that. The plans for the struc-
ture were drawn by Englebert Siebertz an
architect of Berlin.
The walls Of the steeple foundation are
| SIX feet thick. They will gradually tsper
until they come together at a point far be-
| low the apex. From there up the masonry
| VIII be solid. The foundation and base
ment walls are also six feet thick. They
VIII taper toward the top until at the point
| Of contact with the roof they will be three
[ feet in thickness
In building these walls layers of stone
one foot thick are built up so that the inner
edges are four feet apart at the base. The
space between is filled with concrete This
| hardens and adheres TO the stone and In
course OF time becomes as solid one inn
hi'iiSe Iounuatlon OF rock. 1hiS process Is
used throughout the building to the small
est part, with the result that the whole be-
| comes one immOvable mass. and is ar sub
stantial as though the doors and windows
We're carved out of solid stone.
