A memorial shaft is being erected

ed the first European colony in Amer
lea.
Gosnold first stepped ashore on Cut
tyhunk Island, says the Chicago Trib-
une, but it was on small islet NOW
know as Gosnold's Island, i'm a fresh
water pond at the west end of the
island, where he built a fort and store
house, and traded with the Indians
This storehouse is supposed to have
been the first habitation built on this
coast by Europeans
Gosnold was accompanied by thirty
two men, eight Of whom were mariners.
Among the others a clergyman, Ca.
briel Archer, a journalist and James
Roster, who wrote an account of the
voyage and presented it to Sir Walter
Raleigh. Gosnold discovered the
islands known as the Elizabeth Islands
and named them in honor Of the Queen
of England
The memorial is to be a plain shaft,
sixty feet high, so high above the sur
rounding objects at the wedge-like
point of land between Buzzard's Bay
and Vineyard Sound as to be an in
evitable landmark for every vessel
passing through those waterways.
The shaft will cost approximately
$1,000
The first section of the shaft will
have diameter of eighteen feet, la
pering to twelve feet The interior
chamber viii be nine feet in diameter

ucts Of some particular kind of tree
in each species.
There is an instance on record of a
woman seeking birds eye maple
tree in Central Park because she was
sure it must be a beautiful tree and
refusing to believe that there wasn't
a tree Of that name. Any tale of that
sort was invented merely to hide the
Parks shortcomings in the matter of
maple trees, she said, for she had a
bedroom set made of birds eye maple
wood in the house.
But all this is pure delusion. The
names are simply invented by the
workers in fine woods to distinguish
particular material The terms refer
entirely to the granting shown by the
different methods of cutting oak, wal
nut and maple.
Birds eye maple is a veneer set up
on a body of solid wood. The birds
eye figure is produced by cutting
around the log, beginning Immediately
under the bark and continuing until
the log is used up.
The thin shaving thus obtained is
smoothed and polished to show the
grain and then mounted upon rougher
material. Furniture made in this way,
though beautiful, is therefore some
what perishable
TO cut up the log a huge knife and
not saw is used, the wood being
peeled off in thin strips each many
yards in length. Few species of maple
trees produce the beautiful grain
necessary and many logs are spoiled
in cutting so the furniture is naturally
expensive Thes veneer obtained from
the sugar maple tree is the finest pro
! duced.
CHARTERED oak is made by saving a
fine oak log into quarters-hence the
name-and then saving the quarters
into boards, working from the circum
ference to the centre. Thus the fake
as the wood workers call the beautiful
figure in quartered oak, is brought out

at the base. While the tower is ac,
tually hollow, it is practically solid
and impervious from the outside.
At the height of twelve and a half
feet from the base will be false win
dows ON all four sides. The wall rises
sixteen feet two inches farther before
tie second windows are reached. The
main arches of the base are to be ten
feet high and five feet wide These
will be recessed about six or eight
inches and backed by flat-faced rough
stone Inside one of them will be the
cornerstone, containing lead plates
telling the story of Gosnold and the
erection of the memorial shaft. The
whole aim has been to raise a mOnu
ment which shall be as nearly i'm
perishable as possible.
After its completion and dedication
the memorial will be turned over to the
Massachusetts Historical Society.

memory Of President Mckinley.

and civics, and win be one of the most
important of the buildings in the
American University plan. When
completed this will be the second Of
the series of buildings contemplated
by the institution, and third is being
provided for, and it is hoped will be
constructed in the near future The
third building will be designated as
the Epworth College of Literature,
and considerable sum has already
been contributed toward It's erection
The building, when completed will
be a magnificent ediice The general
expression is that of the Greek style
of architecture, with a few Roman
.esque features. There is a corner por-
tico entrance with low dome sup
ported by six immense COrinthian col
umns, and the high arched windows
on the sides carry out the pure Greek
idea. The university authorities will
make every effort to have the building
rapidly completed, after which ap-
propriatc dedicatory exercises will be
held
