THE HAYWOOD'S
NEW BALL ROOM
FORMER CONSUL GENERAL TO
HAWAII BUILDS FINEST PRI-
VATE BALL ROOM.

William Haywood, who represents the
business and industrial interests of Ha-
wall in Washington, has recently COM
pleted a. fine improvement TO his resi-
dence at 1712 1 Street, northwest. The
principal feature of this improvement
is ball room, said to be the largest
in any strictly private residence of this
city. 1t is erected as an addition to the
residence and at the rear of an adjoin-
ing lot. The building for the pail room
consists of a two-story brick structure.
All the appointments are the best and
have been planned with a view to en-
PERTAINING their guests in the most hos
pitable manner.
The large l street residence of Mr.
and Mrs. Haywood was originally three
rooms deep but at the rear still anoth-
er room has been added which extends
the main structure past the building
for the ball room. This additional
room has been tastefully decorated and
furnished in gilt, the wall paper being
special Japanese design. From this
room broad sliding door opens to the
ball room, which is AS by 26 feet. There
is sort of vestibule to the ball room
and this vestibule has a separate exit
leading to the street which permits of
the use of the ball room for public or
charitable purposes, if so desired, with
out disturbing the privacy of occupants
of the house.
The ball room is colonial style and
adapts itself just as readily to the en-
tertainment of large dinner parties as
to dancing. The heating is by indirect
steam radiators, located in the wall of
the Vestibule and under the platform of
the recess at the opposite, or south end,
this recess being for the accommoda-
ton of the orchestra. The electric
lighting is beautifully designed and in
cludes special French gilt fixtures in
each of the broad wall panels. The
lighting is controlled by a series Of
switches, even for the robing and 9TH
er rooms adjacent to the ball room. A
window of cathedral glass in the CELL
ing adds pleasing effect.
Leading from the vestibule to the
lower floor is a winding stairway, con-
Venient for the descent of couples to
the supper room. This supper room
which is one flight below the parlors
and dining rooms of the residence prop
er, is very spacious. 1t communicates
through short passage with the kit
chen of the residence and is so located
and arranged that supper can be serv-
ed easily and expeditiously. Ordinari-
~ this room will be Mr.. Haywood's
working place and will be euuipped
with desks and file cabinets for the ac-
commodation of his clerks and BUSH
ness papers. The office furniture can
De quickly moved on occasion to make
way for refreshment tables. There ia
ample room for buffet or for a more
formal supper.

TO SELECT MILITARY POST SITE.
The members of the Army Board sent
to these islands to study sites for mill
tary posts have begun their work. The
intention is to remain in the islands for
"A month. Every island will be visited
in order that the Board can secure an
idea of the military requirements of the
group. 1t is not likely that the military
post that is to be selected will be To-
Gated off Oahu. The site that seems
the most likely to be selected by the

ART AND THE MACHINE.

ORD CURZON. in opening the exhibition OF
| Indian art as part of The imperial coronation
- festival at Delhi, lamented the decadence into
which the native arts hse fallen and stated that
exhibition had been provided the special pug q
pose OF interesting the world in che fabrics OF the
country, So that there might be sn increased demands
and revivaloof the inGlsries Tat produced
them. 3?
The decline in The arts OF the:Indan peoples is not
to any lack OF artists bt solely the fact that
machine made goods have driven them OF the
market When people can buy machine made car:
pet for about one-tenth the price OF hand-woven
rug they are going 20 take the machine goods. The
problem Goes not concern India only: AS Lord
Curzon said: The process has been going on
throughout the world. 1t has long ago extnguished
the old arts Of Britain and is now extngushing those
OF China and Japan Nothing can stop it because it
is inevitable in age which things cheap and
does not mind their being ugly-Wheh, caring much
4or comfort and little Tor beauty, is forever seeking
something and strange"
t. We have had illustration OF the working OF the
process OF the. economic law on this coast. Our
Pacific Coast Indians from Alaska Mexico have
neat artistic talent OF their and fabrcate good
many kinds OF rude utensils and garments in ar
tistc way. The baskets of some tribes the blankets
the pottery OF others and the ivory, bone or wood
carvings OF still another SET all had good value in
the market, and the Indian workers who produced
them made nice little incomes from their sale among
whites as we'll 0as among natives. The demand or
such articles however the machines OF the white
man in operation and Indian trinkets and goods
Yof almost every description manufactured in large
quantities by machinery Those industries, therefore
are doomed extinction, for they cannot compete
with the machine
The loss the world from the destruction OF these
old much heavier than can be easily told.
# is true, as Lord Curzon says, that the machine
gives comfort and novelty in the place of the old
beauty. and deny that in doing it bene-
fits mankind 1t is better that should have cheap
comforts than that should have thing OF beauty
while the other nine go bare Still the creation of
tistic work developed mental and moral tone
among the workers that the world will miss. Per-
haps in the end, when the machine has provided COM
4 forts for all there will then general demand
for beautiful things which will revive and
raise it to a height It has yet attained. That
time however is far distant. and the British auhor
ties in india have dcne we'll in making this effort
the decay of the ancient arts by appealing
to the rich to support them.

NEW BUILDING MATERIAL.

~ONSULAR REPORTS for December contains
Il report from Consul Diederich OF Bremen on
- new building material which is attracting
much attention in Germany and promises to greatly
reduce the cost of ireproof structures The inven-
tion consists of species of brick and kind of
mortar both OF which are named "Quarzitol" They
are composed of hinty sand and chemical ad-
mixture and are said to contain neither clay, lime,
cement nor caleined plaster-in fact nothing but
clean fine quartz sand and some chemical binding
material.
The Consul visited the works OF the inventor and
witnessed the process OF making the brick and the
mortar. He says: "A number of tests were made in
my presence An ordinary brick was placed alongside
quarzitol brick and the quantity. of water
poured on each. The water the clay brick was
soon absorbed while half an. hour later about one
half of the liquid still stood the quarzitol. Three
bricks were taken one Of clay, Of sand lime and
the other OF Guarzitol They were weighed and put
into vessel with water After they had absorbed all
the water they could they taken out and weighed
again 1t found the sand lime brick had absorbed

LAND LAWS FOR ALASKA.

~ EPORTS from Washington are to the effect
X that despite the shortness OF the session and
the manifest unwingness of many leading
ipembers of Congress to undertake new legislation
there will be something done provide proper laws
for Alaska 1t is not expected that all the desired
legislation will be given but is said the pressure for
better land laws very strong and there prospect
that bill dealing with that subject will be passed
One report from the capital, reviewing the general
question Of legislation for the session, says: THE
prospects that the homestead in its applica-
ton to Alaska will be amended to permit the
taking UP OF homesteads Of 800 acres III extent and
settlers will be permitted to prove up their claims
in districts not yet surveyed by the Government
officials. The existing commutaton clause, however,
will be repealed in so far it applies to that Terri
tory Senator Quares has introduced bill repeal
ing the stone and timber act and the communication
clauses applied to all homestead entries but it not
likely to be enacted"
This demand for better homestead laws coming
from Alaska will strike many people as strange for but
little thought has been given by outsiders to the pro-
liabilities OF settling any considerable population the
Territory outside the mining districts A demand for
better mining laws and the appointment of a Bureau
of Mines in the Territory would have seemed more
natural movement the part OF the Aaskans as their
first fight before Congress In this case then it is
more the unexpected that has happened. Probably
the Alaskan contingent at Washington have found
that they cannot get what they wish in the way of
mining legislation and have turned to the home
stead laws the principle that half loaf is better
than no bread Still the reports that the Aaskans
are predicting that with land law adapted to- the
needs OF that Territory they develop an agrcul-
ture in some of the valleys that will add much to the
wealth of the nation.
AS Alaska has no representative in Congress the
entire Pacific Coast delegation should make her fight
their own, The development Of the big Territory
will help the whole Greater West. and i is nothing
more than right that Congress should give to the
pioneers Of the land the laws which experience has
nroven to be needed for their welfare.
