matter but she frankly does SO In regard
TO the color and marking Of a large pro-
portion of birds eggs reason there

not be an esthetic one; and all we can say
with any confidence is that the ever-per-
vading instinct of distrust is probably ex-
hibited in egg shells as In more important

OF coloration has been the securing OF safe

Plans for Government Build
ing at st. Louis.
COST WILL BE S35O,OOO
TO CONTAIN EXHIBIT AT THE Elk
POSITION.
Fish Commission to Be Given an Ad-
jacent Structure-Staff to Be Used
TO Have Commanding Position.

The official board Of managers in charge
or the government exhibit at the Louisi-
ana purchase exposition at st. Louis
nave just placed their final approval on
the plans for the government building,
which have been drawn under the super
vision of James K. Taylor, supervising ar
chitect Of the treasury.
The accompanying Illustration is taken
from pencil sketch of the building, which
is the only drawing of the exterior of the
structure in existence. The estimated cost
of the building is $4,000. 1t will be over
100 feet in length, 243 feet wide at the ends
while the width of the center portion will
be 175 feet.
Besides this building the government is
to build a structure for the exhibit to be
made by the fish commission, which Is to
be located adjacent to the main building and
is to cost $4,000. The life saving service is
also to have smaller building erected

fifteen feet wide and 524 feet long AS this
Is fifty feet above the level of the general
exposition grounds, 1t will afford mag
nifcent view of them.
An attic fifteen feet in height and richly
adorned with statues will surmount the
Ionic order already described The height
OF the whole structure will be eighty-two
feet.
The center of the building will be sur
mounted by a dome 100 feet in diameter and
similar in general character to the dome of
the Parthenon at Rome. The apex of the
dome will be 175 feet from the ground
Sculptural Adjournment.
Ample opportunities will be afforded in
the design for sculptural adornment This
sculpture will be symbolic of the republic
and the arts Of peace. In general character
it Is the intention to make the sculptural
adornment more restrained than has been
the custom with exposition work violent
action not being considered appropriate for
plastic representation.
In plan the building will be rectangular,
with the projecting buildings already de-
scribed at the ends. The interior floor area
will be 724X175, entirely free of columns
There will be no skyights, as the building
will be lighted entirely by clear stories'
which means that the pitch of the roof will
be broken by the Insertion of q perpendicu-
lar wall of windows.
The end parades will contain one central
portico $50 feet long,
On the longitudinal axis Of the government
building to the southwest will be located
the building for the United States fish COM
missions exhibit. 1t will be square in
plan, 135 feet each way, and in general
character will harmonic with its larger
neighbor.
The board of managers for the govern
ment exhibit have not yet come to any con-
clusion regarding the allotment Of space in
the main government building but this is
the uppermost matter of consideration at
the present time.
Bids for the construction of the building
Will be asked for in the near future, and
IL IS pred1cted In the office of the supervis-
ing architect that the government will have
It's buildings completed in ample time for

A Commanding Position.

resembling stone. Its exterior will be white
while the color scheme of the interior will
be something magnificent The building will
occupy an imposing position on the high
ground in the southeast section of the ey
position grounds. The hill on which the
building will rest rises about fifty feet
above the level Of the exposition grounds
proper and the imposing white domed struc-
ture with Its long colonnades. will be an
impressive feature of the architecture
beauty of the exposition. The building will
form the axel termination of the main ex-
position street Its approaches are to be
monumental in character and in keeping
with the building itself magnificent
flight of steps will make the approach to
the central portion. These steps will be 100
feet in width. In the center of the steps
will be a platform 45x125, which will be
adorned with statues, with an exedra at
each end Two smaller flights fifty feet in
width and also adorned with statues will
give entrance to the end sections of the
buildings. Ramps or sloping paths will
lead from the lower level of the exposition
grounds to the government hill. These
ramps will also connect the main central
flight of steps with the entrances to the
end pavilions. The slope Of the hill will
be made into a beautiful lawn. with ram
bling walks, trimmed hedges, flower beds
and trees, while the hill to the rear of the
government building will be left as it is
now. adorned with large trees.
In Pseudo-Classic Style.
The general style Of the building will be
pseudo-classic, and somewhat less festive
than the other exposition buildings. But
in its breadth of treatment and purity of
detail 1t will express its function-the gov
eminent building.
The main interior facade will be 764 feet
In length, with center and end pavilions
connected with a colonnade Of Ionic col
umns five feet in diameter and forty-five
feet high. The central pavilion with the
colonnade on each side will form a portico

Many of the bacteria are among the sapro-

also in the gum of filth, which can only be
removed from paved streets by vigorous

portant results from the indubitable records
it will acquire by this method.
The work Is under the supervision Of
Lieutenant Commander McDonough Cra-

Our St. Vincent correspondent writes:
There is one remarkable fact in connection

disprove the statements of certain scien-
lists that volcanic dust is not a fertilizer
namely, that in the gardens in Kingstown

many inches deep, there has rarely been
seen such a splendid show of flowers. They
nave come out in wonderful way, so that
every one remarks on 1t. 1t is recorded
that after the eruption of 1912 the quantity
OF produce on the estates was unprece-
dented. AS illustrating how suddenly death

Pictures of Dust Particles and Studies

From the New York Tribune.

from the New York Tribune.
John McGaw Woodbury., commissioner of
street cleaning, is experimenting on a pro-
cess for detecting bacteria in the atmos-
phere, which is rather loosely described as
''air photography" The bacteria which are
known to adhere to the countless dust par
ticles floating in the air are gathered on
gelatine plate and allowed to mature When
they reach the spore stage and become
recognizable they are magnif1ed from 1900
to 1000 diameters and photographed. BY
this means the department will be able to
learn what may be the condition of the air
in the streets at any given time, and by
continuous observation can keep forewarned
of dangers to the public health.
The enterprise concerns the street clean
ing department because air bacteria are
practically dependent on floating matters
in the air for their chances in early life,
