will be fitted for use a doctors office.
The same architect has prepared plans
for five two-story fiat buildings, six rooms
and bath each, to be erected at 18th and l
streets northeast for Charles c. Malley.
Each building will have a front of twenty
feet by fifty feet depth. with separate en-
trance to each fiat. These buildings will
be modern throughout. There viii be

iron staircases to the yard The fronts
will be of press brick and stone and will
have square bay windows and iron porches.
Home for Bicycles and Automobiles.
The traces of the recent fire that de-
stroyed the Pope building are fast disap
pearing, and in the place OF that struc-
ture will be erected a new Pope building
creditable to the city. The architect, Mr..
Hill, has planned a building that will COM
pare with some of the finest private bust
ness structures in the city, in which the
best results of modern building ideas will
haye q place in this establishment. The
building will be five stories in height and
constructed of buff brick, embellished with
limestone trimmings. The inner trim
mingS and fixtures will be of quartered oak
and wrought iron.
Mr.. w. J. Foss, the manager of the Co
lumbia sales department, plans to use the
first floor of the establishment for the dis
play and sale of automobiles and bicycles,
while the basement will be fitted for the
care and storage of automobiles. The
building is expected to be finished in July,
and when finished will be the most modern
and best equipped bicycle and automobile
house in this section of the country.

the creek from the Massachusetts avenue
crossing south practically to the point
where the waters of Rock creek empty into
the Potomac. The foundations for the pro-
posed arch at Massachusetts avenue have
been completed on the east side, and prog
resS has been made with those on the west

Some Minor Bridges.
Under the direction of Captain Beach
some artistic additions being made to
what might be termed the minor bridges.
In the case of the one that is being COM
pleted across Rock creek near the eastern
entrance to the Zoo, the material used Is
what is known melan, and consists of
steel ribs buried in concrete. a bridge is
also being built across the mouth Ct Broad
branch on the Argyle road, and in the near
future it will be necessary to span Rock
creek with some structure at the foot of
Blagden avenue.
In view of this Captain Beach is having
the design of the Broad branch bridge, as
wei as the material that is used, so select
ed that it will harmonic with the struc-
ture that will be put up over Rock creek
in the near vicinity. bridge is about
completed across Pney branch, about
where that stream enters Rock creek north
of the Klingle road The exterior of this
structure is faced with masonry and makes
an important link in the series of roads
that now form a practically continuous
driveway along the banks of the Rock
creek from the Woodley bridge to the Mill
tarV road
More Structures Needed.
There are some principal bridges which
are still on paper and some which have
not even reached that stage. OF the latter
class is the bridge designed to cross the
Eastern branch on a line with NJ street
northeast, which would give passage over
obstruction some distance north of the Ben
ring bridge. Some of the property holders
and citizens in that locality have urged the
matter before the Commissioners, but so
far the funds have not been forthcoming.
The contemplated bridge across the East
ern branch on the line of South Capitol
street has also failed thus far to receive the
recognition of Congress in the shape of an
appropriation. Similar neglect has been
paid to the recommendations of the Com
missioners that money be furnished to
build new flooring on the Anacostia
bridge.

down before the model of it in Christ

describing it. Its tail as the bird stands on
the floor is just as high my head and its
ankle is as big around my calf. Its
gigantic body, covered with gray feathers
might have been modelled out Of a small
haystack, and its t.,l, thin neck is stretched
so high above its breast that the whole
could not possibly be squeezed Into the

legs are as strong as those of 4 camel, and
it looks quite as big. Its feet have claws

are enormous in size and each a foot long.

quite ten thousand tons were exported the
total value of which was in the neighbour

There are now about seven thousand men

their spears down into the earth and when

about 100000 acres north of Auckland CITY
and south and east of Auckland on about
$4,000 acres more. Part of this is govern

The curiosities of vegetable life are quite

of the strangest is what is known as the

two inches in length. When it is full grown

grows into a vigorous plant about eight
inches high, with single stem, but no leaf

The actors, HONG.

\ fund of ST 900 has been raised In
i New York to build an Actors Home;
and this is an enterprise IN which all
large-ninded and intelligent people
should be interested. The theatrical
profession has perhaps been more
misunderstood than any other in this
country For nearly half century
the actor was practically prescribed.
Even now, many of the difficulties
and obstacles of his work are unrec-
ognized-
The thing about him which Is hard
est for the average outsider. to I'M
derstand is why he does not save
money The public hears of the large
sums of money made in a week by
some fortunate star, or the tremen-
dous success of some brilliant pro-
duction, and fails to see the innumer-
able ways in which this money leaks
out Of the actors pocket. Some of
these ways, 1t is true, might be stop
ped up without injury to art: but
there are drains on the purse which
are ineritable-
The need of being welI-dressed. the
constant travelling, the chance of be-
ing i'll in a strange place, the neces-
siTy of spending money on some pro
duction- If the actor Is ms own man
ager-aiI these things eat up an in
come faster than quiet people who
stay at home can possibly understand.
The result Of IT all is that when the
actor grows old he is frequently drfv-
en- TO accept charity, and to the cred
it Of the profession be it said. his
old comrades are usually ready to
help him. But the Actors Home viii
be refuge for many broken down
people who thoroughly deserve as
siStance. and it VIII lessen the drain
on private philanthropy.
The time has gone by when the
theatre aroused scrupIes in the minds
of intelligent Americans. The public
now realizes the debt which II owes
To the actor for much entertainment
and good cheer; and though the Ac-
tors Home will be built mainly ON,
of contributions from actors. the PEG
pie IN front of the footIights have
had hand in it, too.
