ton. The plan Is square with large
central dome and rotunda, which Will
be used as q general meeting place OF
Americans during the exposition.
Three sides of the rotunda have rooms
ID by SO opening out of it. That on the
left Of the main entrance will be used
as lounging-room for gentlemen, that
on the right for ladies and that in the
middle as a parlor for both ladies and
gentlemen. The second story will be
given to the States. where people who
so desire can rest and register their
names. The third story will be re-
served for the private offices Of the
commissioner general and stan. The
fourth floor will be given to the States
and used in a similar manner to the
second.
The building is IS by 90 feet and 100
feet high from the lower level. There
will be two electric American elevat-
ors. The style of the exterior of the
building IL classic. and while different
In design from any of the buildings at
the Chicago fair yet the feeling there
prevalent has been kept and will be in
marked contrast to the present French
buildings, which are not SO architect

Is under a large portico which spans
the esplanade, and under this every
visitor who walks to the other national
buildings will be obliged to pass. In
the center arch of this portico, facing
the River Seine, will be French's
statue of Washington, while a bust Of
President Mckinley will occupy a
niche over the door. In the front of
the building on the river bank will be
boat landing which will be highly
ornamental as classic barge. All the
boats Of the American line which con.
meet with the American trolley system
at vincennes will make landing at
this pier.
The interior decorations of the build
ing are in charge of an art commission
composed of George B. Post, Charles

THE LUMP OF COAL.
a alaslne Episode That Thrills.
The cattle-boat Goshawk's midday
sights had shown her to be in latitude
II degrees "a minutes south by SO de-
grees ~ minutes west longitude,
which meant that she was coming up
to that dangerous collection of reefs
and rocks known as the Abrolhos
Shoals. The chart which covered
them was from French survey In
1851, and as any amount Of unrecord-
ed changes might have been wrought
since then by that minute mason of
the deep, the coral insect, Captain
Grimshaw was very much on the qul
vive 80 long as his ship was in the
neighborhood. For, being a wise mas.

sparingly of the bad tea and potato

of the legs might cover the keyhole.
Then he knelt, though not exactly in
prayer. beside his sea chest, and pro-
ceeded to unpack 1t, till at length he
reached a small wooden box with a
sliding top. At first sight 1t did not
