HOUSE OF COMMONS.
One Public Building That is Really
Ventilated-Acoustic

From the Cornhi Magazine.
The house of commons has not only the
best possible acoustic properties. but Is
also exceptionally well ventilated. Under
wall of the Palace of Westminster is a
vault, and through this passes the supplv
of air for the debating chamber. This
flood OF fresh air comes in from outside
and Is first intercepted by a broad ex-
panse of falling water through which II
must pass, leaving behind 1t in its prog
ress all particles Of dust
inside the chamber are two shafts
moved by large wheels These drive tha
air into what looks like an enormous
grain bin, a chamber eight feet high. ex
tending the full breadth OF the vault. a
distance of thirteen feet
Inside this bin Is cIose-fittine shutter
which travels backward and forward. AS
1t Is pushed forward the air in the bin
passes up through funnel into another
chamber, and the close fitting shutter
advancing, leaves vacuum behind IL
into which the outer air comes rushing
to be driven, In its turn. upward.
Thus through the long hours whfle
tongues wag above. the almost silent
shutter fans back and forth, pushing fhe
air out of the bin, and when a fresh sun
ply enters on the other side, forcing it, in
Its turn, upward.
This air energies from the upper bin
into a gallery. along which it courses
until 1t reaches the space under the legis
lative chamber. There, on a succession
Of gratings. are piled in summer blocks
of ice, upon which the air Is cooled before
It rises through the close iron grating
which makes the floor of the house. n
winter the air Is comfortably heated be-
fore 1t reaches this outlet, and during
seasons of fog 1t is made to pass through
layers Of cotton six inches thick
At one time, when the fog had lasted
for forty-eight hours. the cotton was as
black with the SCOT 1t had absorbed as
the inside Of chimney. But the air in
the Legislative chamber remained abso-
lutely pure.
The method by which the vitiated at
mosphere escapes from the house is a
very simple one. At tho edge of the
ceilings are panels opening into a space
left between ceiling and roof. The air,
rarefied by. use, ascends. escapes by these
open panels, and Is conducted by nues
to the basement, where q great fire is
burning brightly on the hearth. This
draws to itself the inrushing air, and
drives 1t up a shaft which opens In the
clock tower, height of 230 feet. There
1t escapes into tho vast expanse OF over
head London.

Strong Demand.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 2.-Generaily
speaking. prices continued to advance IN
toeays stock market, with virtually noth-
ing that was novel or interesting to be cited
in connection with their course. The mon
ey market, to be sure. displayed some slight
relaxation for call loans. but the figures
quoted were still high from any ordinary
point of view. London was very substan-
tiai influence in today's advance, particular
~ during the morning, when very heavy
purchases for foreign account were exc
cuted.
In United States Steel, common, alone
foreign houses were buyers of upward OF
10000 shares, and even larger concentrated
purchases of the stock were conducted by
a single brokerage house. The United
States Steel shares were among the most
active stocks in the whole market and 1t
goes without saying that their pro-
nounced strength was factor of weight
with regard to the remainder of the list,
and more so because the dealings In
those securities have OF late anOrGed
some indications that liquidation was In
progress there
The movement in the United States Steel
stocks was accompanied by the usual pre-
liminary discussion with regard to the earn
ings of the corporation for the quarter
now drawing to close. and, Furthermore.
with discussion of the prospects of a re-
sumption of dividends the company's
stock. Practically all the shares concerned
with iron and steel conditions were likewise
decidedly strong.

The Modern Mistletoe.


Prominent in the Christmas revels. and,
with the holly. most essentially Christ
massy" of all the plants used. was the
mistletoe. With US. the old Significance
and sacredness have gone. leaving but
charm enough to give the well-known privi-
lege to the man who meets girl beneath.
There exists, also. in some places, the
tradition that the girl who Is not kissed
under the mistletoe will not be married for
a year CThe present writer once knew a
thoughtful and proyident damsel who wore
a hat trimmed with the sacred plant) But
the kiss permitted in olden time was origi-
nally of the apostolic variety. our mistle-
toe celebration being borrowed from Scandi-

According to Henry Irving's will his ef-
fects are to be dispersed at auction. and
Messrs Christie will offer them about the
middle of December. Catalogues will not
be obtainable till toward the end of next
week. Meanwhile, however, information is
forthcoming as to the general character of
the collection and as to some OF fits mani
fold attractions. This is not the first Try
ing sale held in King street. During days
in February, 1899, there came under the
hammer what was catalogued as a portion
of the dramatic library of a gentleman. no
other than Sir Henry as many knew at
the time.
Among its AIS lots. which brought some
91 800. were a number of grangerized works
notably Hawkins Life of Edmund Keap,
which made 4155-and various editions OF
Shakespeare. which the actor was never.
tired of bringing together. One of his fore
most Shakespearean treasures did not then
appear. however and he may have parted
of the second folio OF 1882 with many notes
in the margins by Theobald and DR. John
son. On Theobafd's death 1t was bought by
Osborn, the bookseller, and presented to
Johnson, and at the photographers sale In
1855 Samuel Ireland, the forger, got IL for
Ell. 1t cost Sir Henry Gl00. Most of the
salabie comforts of Irying's fiat at II Strait
ton street appear to be coming under the
hammer, and the esteem In which he was
held, joined to the associative interest of
many of the objects with actors like Gar
rick, Kean. Macready, Phelps, Kemble, Ed
win Booth and Mr. Toole. will cause the
sale to rank high among lovers of theatrical
relics.

GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM

Mrs. Howard Gould through an
agent recently made delightful find
in Paris-no less eurio than the chess
table Of Marie Antoinette, on which
the IueklesS queen whiled away the
weary hours in the Louvre after the
women of Paris dragged her from Yer
sailles, and over which, doubtless, she
dreamed of happier days she had pass
ed in the Tuileries and the Little
Trfanon. It is a quaint bit of furni-
ture-precisely the sort one would ex-
peet s.the Austrian woman" to use.
The style, naturally, is that of Louis
Quinze, for 1T was new when Maria
Theresa sent it across the Alps to her
daughter, and at that time everything
appertaining to Louis XIV was in
fashion, even though the throne of
France was tettefing on it's foundations.
For Louis was on the throne. The
curving and carving Of the legs are
wonders of the cabinetmaker's art
They are adorned with inlaying of
mother of pearl and silver filigree of
rare deIieacy. The top of the table is
of fine rosewood, with alternate
squares inlaid in ivory to make the
board. In one corner is a little hol-
low, said to have been worn by the
queens signet ring as she rested her
left hand on the glossy surface. Mrs.
Gould declines to say what she paid
for the table, but it is whispered the
price ran well into the tens of thou
sands-of francs, at any rate

E-lHE girl who has a distaste for fine
sewing and delicate floss en-
broidery, and who chooses the
darning of torn linen and family stock
ings as her share of the household du-
ties, VIII find real friend in the new
fiet lace embroidery. In this lace work
the designs are woven into fine or
coarse mesh net by darning instead of
by the cross stitch, as in Russian serim
embroidery. In fact, the vogue for
cross stitch embroidery has rather
given way to filet lace work, which
closely resembles flet guipure
The real filet lace is enjoying a de-
cided popularity for insertions and
edgings on table covers center pieces
and counterpanes. At a large dinner
given this month by we'll known So
ciety woman, the long table was Gov
cred with a magnificent linen cloth.
Oblong inSetS of flet lace in orchid de-
sign, set at regular intervals, formed a
square in the center of the cover, while
the same oblong insertions outlined the
edges of the table and a filet lace e6lg-
Ing finished the borders of the CLOTH
A square tea cloth seen recently at
an afternoon reception was built from
ten-inch medaliions of f1let, alternating
with the same size squares of linen.
The lace showed lordly roosters and
peacocks silhouetted in white against
the linen mesh.
Collars and cuffs, medallions and
bands of filet lace will be much in evil
dence as trimming for the shirtwaist
and linen frocks of the summer girl OF

real guipure can produce almost as
striking effects in darned lace, with

A barnyard masquerade is a. frolic
children much delight in, and the best
part of the scheme is that the costumes
can be made of paper. The upper part
of the body alone initiates the feath-
cred one, close cap with a bird nose
covering the head and face. Whefa
stiffness is required the paper is dOu-
bled several times, with an occasional
quill introduced for reality. Colored
tissue in heavy quality is required.

black. To make the wings, which are
as important feature as the head, a.
frame Is first constructed of wired
muslin to fit over the arms, which are
held with elbows bent. These are after
wards trimmed with paper cut in quill
form and sewed on in tapping rows.

funny affair, for the characters include
everything from a gobbler to goosey
