form OF the windows will determine quite
largely their location. In all poultry hous-
es in cold ATTITUDES the windows should be
placed in such a position that they will
give the most sunshine on the floor during
the severe winter months. One Of the
common mistakes is in putting in too many
windows. While building that admits
plenty of sunlight in the winter time is
desirable, cold one is equally undesira-
BILE and windows are source of radiation

an inch CT so apart, through which openings
the dirt which is sure to accumulate in
poultry houses may drop and insure free

Contractors Tear Out the Walls.

Although thousands Of Westinghouse
have noticed the heaps Of debris and the
great apertures in the front walls Of the
Southern Railway Company's building at
the corner OF Thirteenth and Pennsylvania
Avenue. during the past few weeks. it Is
doubtful If many have realized thu unique
character OF the work that is goi.g on C.

1t is seldom. indeed, that large bulldog

Southern Railway structure. and 1t is a
question IL this architectural operation has
ever before been performed in Washington.
In fact, it is something OF rarity in the
United States. The building has not on y
been more than tripled in size. but its
general character has been changed. and
yet the busy clerks Of the various depart
ments have continued at their decks whi.e
walls we're removed and radical changes
made in the structure.
The original building was STABLE affair
occupying the corner OF Thirteenth Street
and Pennsylvania Avenue, but it was too
small for the purposes OF the company. ard
plans were made to enlarge it. A T-shaped
addition was built Increasing the frontage
both on the Avenue and Thirteenth Street

Quaint Art I'm Cemeteries.

Der Of ways that only money can effect
And nothing perhaps emphasizes this to
the stranger more strongly than visit to
the Campo Santo. the cemetery of Genoa.
In this country of ours. apart from any
allegorical figure, the effigy on a tomb
represents the individual in whose meIu
ory the monument is raised. statue
over a grave is in the likeness of the dead
man.
Not so in the Campo Santo Of Genoa or,
indeed, in any of the cemeteries of Italy.
There may be-there often is-a medal
lion portrait in high relief of the deceased.
But the chief figures (where there are no
allegorical figures) are those who have
been left Borrowing.
There is perhaps an element of true
art in this-to us-quaint custom. Whilst
the eye is filled by the figures OF peopls
possibly still living. they nevertheless are
telling no story of their own They are
there In order TO suggest and intensity a
remembrance of the virtues OF the dead
And most certainly they do this.
Take the monument where the figure Of
a man stands leaning against a pillar
his hand shading his eyes. 1t is son
at his fathers grave. The figure Is that
Il.
There is nothing picturesque about him.
and yet the whole effect is inexpressively
beautiful. Nor is 1t mere question of
splendid sculpture. The attitude OF the
man is of one in deep sorrow and the
mind instinctively recognizes that the
dead man must have been a good man
to have commanded so profound grief.
No tablet, no written phrase could testify
this as pathetically and as eloquently as
does this stricken figure.
Again, how eloquent OF a husbands
good qualities is the monument where the
widow stands knocking at the door of the
tomb in her yearning TO follow him.
Surely there is in the simple composition
more tribute to the man than III the con-
ventional monument where the deceased
sits. in semi-classic garments. on a wholly
classic chair. with one hand rnon his knee
and the other on the arm o. the chair
Probably the dead man never in his life
struck such an attitude and the memorial
depends on its inscription for some testi-
mony to his worth. The extent to which
custom permits of the figures of living
people to adorn a dead friends grave is
shown in the monument where the doctor
is standing by the bed of his dead patient.
The story runs that the Illness which
proved fatal was sudden and unexpected.
The doctor, one OF the greatest In the
land, was summoned. but he arrived too
late.

at am not prepared to state that the
dead can come to life." said II. r. Peters
yesterday, but the experience of friend
OF mine in a Pennsylvania German town
recently would seem to incline one that
way. In the town where he was visiting
he became acquainted with the local I'M
dertaker. and in that way was enabled
TO be present at the funeral of young
woman who had expired from shock at
seeing her husband fall from a load of hay.
He was not hurt at all. but she was. to all
intents and purposes. as dead as the pro-
verbal door nail The body was laid out
in the parlor and all the relatives and
friends had assembled to pay their last
respects to the dead.
As is customary in that locality, a big
funeral dinner was served. In the midst
of the meal the parlor door opened and
In walked the corpse. II didn't take o
minute to clean the room. leaving the in

was left to repose at the bottom OF the
sea for many years. until. when the har-
Dor was cleaned, 1t was pulled up and
turned over to the Government authori-
ties. There are no marks on the iron to
give clew to the vessel from which it
was lost. 1t is believed that there were
inscriptions at one time, but that the
action of the water and the rust have
eradicated them.
When it was learned that the Navy De-
paTtment was in search of suitable
trophy to mark the resting place OF Cap
tain Sigsbee's brave fellows who had been
brought from Cuban to American soil.
someone suggested this picturesque old
anchor. and orders were at once given to
bring it on from Boston and erect it on
the Maine mems plot in Arlington.
The anchor is of ancient style and rough
workmanship, having been welded from a
huge piece OF iron by hand. 1t has an
enormous wooden cross-bar, which is hon
eycombed by time and the elements. This
cross-bar. even when the anchor Is lying
at an angle, reaches over six feet In the
air, and. silhouetted against the sky, can
be seen from the river. The whole has
been painted dead black to preserve it
from further decay.
The anchor rests upon large concrete
base. just beyond the mounds of the
Maine's men. 1t is in the natural position

than two tons.

Gently died in the service of their country,

that does not find men, women, and chill

men of the battlefield and men Of the sea
sleep their last sleep.
With all its superb memorials of bronze
and stone. established in loving remem-
brance of the illustrious dead, 1t is doubt
full IL Arlington contains anything more
striking picturesque. and impressive than
the monument that stands outlined against
the blue vault of heaven on the brow of
the hill where Captain Sigsbee's silent
crew rests in peace.
The memorial to the Names men is q
giant anchor. 1t is an an anchor with
history. though much of that history is
tion of iron and wood, and because of its
imposing proportions alone is well fitted
to mark the spot where rest the brave
jackies and marines.
The history of this huge relic doubtless
contains more or less romance. 1t is be-
lieved to be close on a century old No
one knows how many years 1t reposed at
the bottom Of Boston Harbor, but at any
rate it was fshed from the depths some
time ago and came into possession OF the
Navy Yard, where it was consigned to the
heap which contains SO much obsolete
naval paraphernalia.
The anchor is supposed to have belonged
to some one of the great vessels of long
ago which used to come into the harbor
for trading purposes. 1t is said that dur
ing a terrific storm a sailing craft threw
out this anchor TO keep from being blown
ashore by the raging winds. but that the
cable broke, the anchor was lest, and the
ship came near being wrecked.
Efforts were made TO recover the an
Choir, but they were unsuccessful. and 1t
