ASYLUM'S NEW BUILDINGS
CONTRACT FOR THE EXTENSION OF
ST. ELIZABETH.
Construction to Begin Mt Early Date
Congress to Be Asked for Adj
ditiOnal Sum.

Dr. A b. Richardson, superintendent OF
the Government Hospital for the Insane,
stated last evening that the contract for
the extension of the institution which has
been awarded to Horton & Hemenway of
Providence, r. l., at their bid of 100000,
has been forwarded from the Interior De-
partment to the firm and has doubtless re-
ceived their signatures by this time. DR..
Richardson expects Mr.. Hemenway and his
foreman of construction to arrive at any
time. The government Is making no fur
ther effort to effect an exchange of ground
with the owners of land at Pencote Heights
for a site for the new buildings, and it is
regarded that the matter is closed.
AS heretofore mentioned in The Star, 1t
became necessary. in order to bring the
cost Of the new buildings within the ap-
preparation made by Congress, to omit
three structures that were planned and re-
garded as important. These were the ad-
ministratiOn building, the male employees
building and a cottage for the medium
class of female patients. DR.. Richardson
and the board of visitors are engaged in
preparing their annual report and list Of
estimates. 1t is understood Congress will
be asked by them to appropriate the sum
necessary for the erection Of these three
buildings, and the fact that the high price
Of material prevented their inclusion in the
extension at this time will be urged upon
that body.
The New Stable.
The construction OF the new stable for
the institution has been begun by Meads
& Reynolds Of this city, who contracted to
do the work for $24, $50. The stable will
be of brick, and will contain accommoda-
tions for about sixty horses. There will
be separate apartments for carriages, farm
wagons, harness, etc. 1t will be we'll sew
cred and ventilated, and will be lighted by
electric lights. There will be quarters for
the employees and dairy hands in the second
story. The stable Is being built east Of
Nichols avenue, near the old barn site
When completed, which will be in six
grounds Of the institution will be razed.
Number of Inmates.
There were on the rolls of the institution
June 80, 1901, 2.176 insane inmates. Dur
ing the fiscal year ended that date the
largest number of admissions in the his
tory of the hospital was recorded, the total
being 655 This was an increase of 100
over the previous year. OF the whole
number admitted during the year 34S were
from the army, navy or marine hospital
service, the remaining 31S being from civil
life and all practically from the District OF
Columbia, 1t Is stated. The percentage OF
recoveries during the year has been the
largest in the past ten years of the insti-
tutiOn's history, being AL per cent of the
total number of discharges, including
deaths. This Is accounted for by the num-
Der of young men received from the mill
tary service. whose mental infirmties
yielded to treatment at the hospital. The
total number of discharges and deaths was
505. The deaths numbered 226

ROYAL ACADEMY MEMBERS.
Hospitality Is Extended to Artists
of American Birth.

One Of the pleasantest features in the an
nails of the British Royal Academy is the
hospitality 1t has extended to artists of
American birth. Foreigners generally are
elected only as honorary academicians.
there being six OF this rank at the present
time, four French and two German artists,
whilst no such disqualification attaches to
citizenship of the United States. The acad-
envy found a president-and q president OF
long and distinguished service, too-in q
painter who was born on this side Of the
Atlantic, in what is now the State Of Penn
%sylyania, when all North America was I'M
der the British flag. Sir Benjamin West,
who succeeded Sir Joshua Reynolds in 1872,
and held the office Until his death in 1870,
was, in fact, one Of the four founders OF
the Royal Academy.
Perhaps it Is In recognition OF this cir
cumstance, says a writer in Pearson's Mag
azine, that the institution ignores the diff
ference in nationality created by the Amer
lean War Of Independence. Whilst artists OF
Continental birth, like Alma-Tadema and
Herkomer. have become naturalized British
subjects before their admission, Sargent,
Abbey and Shannon a been elected to
the academy-two as full a~cademicians and
the third as an associate-although they re-
main citizens Of this country. It Is said. In
deed, that Mr.. Sargent would have sacrt-
feed the honor rather than have changed
his allegiance. for this reason Sargent and
Abbey. although members Of the Royal
Academy, were included In the American
md not-the British art section OF the Paris
Exhibition by the Frech authorities.

JAPANESE FLORAL SCIENCE.
The Art of Arranging Flowers Is
One Carefully Studied.

The chief difference between the arrange
ment Of flowers in this country and In ia
pan Is that whereas in this country the art
is merely considered as a pretty accom-
plishment for gentlewomen. in Japan it
ranks as a science and q philosophy. which
can only be mastered after several years
of close study, says a writer in Parsons
Magazine.
Far from being practiced only by ladies.
this pretty Japanese art has among Its dew
Otees Princes, scholars and other prominent
men, who, having retired from the cares OF
political life. are In search of n hobby which
will afford not only amusement, but Will
also offer in~tricacie9 and obstacles worthy
of their trained minds.
All cultured people in Japan are proficient
In the science. just as the better classes
among Western nations cultivate taste in
dress, or In the artistic arrangement Of
their household gods.
The Japanese term for a iower-hana-
also implies a blossom-clad stem. and even
the stumps or branches of fiowerless trees
and shrubs; and their science of flower ar
rangement consists not only in grouping
flowers, but more particularly In grouping
their leaves and twigs according to pre-
scribed formulate. The blossom Is looked
upon as a minor detail in the artistic COM
position. and of very small value II sepa-
rated from the parent stem. whose sweep
ing, though artificial. curves emphasize It's
beauty. The whole science Is, therefore. re-
duced to obtaining curves which, though
really distorted. have the appearance Of be-
ing true to nature.
