The walls and ceiling of the vestibuIe of
Emperor Williams palace at Potsdam
have been lined with Shells pieces of
quartz, agates. crystal and other MINER
illogical specimens. 1t Is an enormous
apartment, sixty-eight feet square, and
broken by six huge pillars The floor is of
tessellated marble and mosaic The win
dows are of stained glass, but every inch
or surface on the walls and ceiling is COW
cred with geological and mineralogical
specimens. which have been collected from
all corners OF the globe by the imperial
minerafogiSts and arranged under the d.
rectfon OF famous artist. The effect Is
unique but ugly. Few museums contain
a greater variety of rare specimens than
are found In this room. The members of
the diplomatic and consular service. the
naval officers. the scientists and the tray-

this fad OF the emperor have sought his
favor by bringing beautiful examples OF
shells. minerals and rare stones from the

Heavy bikes Which Are Built by the
Winds Themselves.
From the Engineering Magazine.
Approaching the fact. that the high
chalk cliffs Of England are no protection
against the sea, the Dutch engineers did
not attempt to place an artificial vertical
wall against the waves and the storm tides,
but coaxed the sea to deposit its sands on
the shore and so build 1t up, rather than
throw them inland. and then, hungry for
more, eat into the shore. They believed 1t
best to satisfy its appetite, but induced it
to toy with the sands which Its own flood
currents and waves Bring from other
shores and from the offingr depths. The
sand thus deposited blows sin the gales.
over the inland country The engineers In
them against the sea- One OF the heaviest
bikes along the coast was built by the
winds themselves.
The sand formed between the jetties be-
comes dry in sunny weather, and the sur
face Is blown ashore when the wind Is In
that direction. 1t was desired to build q
strong dixie to connect with the sand
dunes. This was accomplished by setting
IN the send In rows about "a foot apart
tufts of dune sea grass near by. The tufts
were placed about foot apart-simply lit
tie handfuls OF grass. The place for each
turf was dug out with the hands, the tuft
6st Hto II ana the sand pressed around IT,
The whole surface of-the dry. sandy beach
above high tide was covered with this
plantation. and just back OF It, at the high
est point OF the existing sandy area, one.
or two rows of reeds were set into the sand,
their tops cut OF. and the stalks left stand
ing about four feet above the sand. The
sand. drifting along over the surface
catches and In one windy day will almost
bury the tufts of grass and stand up .
foot along the rows OF reeds. Then an
other plantation was made and another
until q massive dixie was built up to the
height Of the adjoining dixie. In high storm
tides the waves will eat into the toe of the
slope and pull down the sand. but by the
same process OF building the dixie Is again
restored to its former size.
