The JOY Of leaving modern Babylon for

perpetual hurry-scurry in the narrow lanes
and alleys of the square mile is indie

evening service at Magdalen Chapel On
entering the quaint little building, with its
beautiful painted windows and old oak
stalls. my heart contracted with a Jealous
pang at feeling that l was a stranger, with
no prescriptive right to sit there. Such
thoughts, however, were soon forgotten In
listening to the singing. The Magdalen
choir Is by far the best in Oxford, and can
only be compared with that Of Kings,
Cambridge. Connected with the college Is
a large school. where certain boys selected
for their voices receive free education,
discharging their obligations by singing
daily in the chapel. The anthem selected
was one by Wesley, and was sung unaccom
panied. "Exultate Deo," shrilied the boys

course of my many wanderings. but 1t 10

A round of visits to the various colleges
leaves the mind in a somewhat blurred
condition. One carries away n confused
impression of countless quadrangles of ven

of perfect turf, OF picturesque corners and
details.
The hideousness Of keble College and the
new chapel at Balliol (which the irreverent

Scheme Of Correcting Mistakes.
The scheme OF correcting any possible
mistake of line and effect as practiced at
the union station by the erection of
wooden facsimile of a section was tried at
the museum. A complete bay or window
from basement to attic was constructed,
and it proved SO serviceable that a COM
plete change was made in the elevation OF
the structure. 1t was discovered that
certain lack Of height prevented CONVEX
gence of lines much desired. The question
was answered by raising the foundation
three feet. This situating or leveling up
building upon its site Is considered one OF
the most significant problems to be Crap
pied with by the constructor and architect.
1t has been questioned whether the great
architects Of the Parthenon, or Michael An
gelo, when at work on the dome Of St. Pc
ter's, had to make experimental wooden fac
SMILES 1t would seem that the oder ar
lists learned only by the mistakes made In
previous buildings. but 1t Is known that the
means for correcting many optical illusions
by architectural devices were practiced by
them. when the comparatively small ex-
pense Of temporary structure can be met"
says Mr.. Bernard Green, mo hesitation
should be permitted, the opportunity for
correcting unfortunate details being so
great
While the plans of the museum In general
have been perfected and approved. many
details of construction remain open to al
iteration. The attic and the roof are in a
measure still open questions, and the plans
for the south portal or entrance pavilion
have not yet been approved. The height
and shape of the dome, or whether there is
to be dome is not decided. but every con-
sideration of lighting. of expressing signifi-
cantly the main entrance, and even of the
contingencies Of the future enlargement are
being considered by the architects, the SUI
perintendent of construction and the re-
gents of the Smithsonian Institution.
From present prospects. with the walls ris
ing and the hollow bricks a non-conducting
agent to be used in Turing the walls de-
termined upon, and the girders placed, there
is hope that in year and half or two
years at least, the new museum will be fin-

Left-Hand Artists.
rom the London Chronicle

To that list of left handed artists may be
added Mr. F. H. Townsend. the deft
draughtsman in black and white, who has
lately become art editor of Punch. But MI
Townsend is one of the ''sem-left-handed."
And of these there are more than you
might suppose. Many of us, watching
ourselves. will find that on this that oc
c&sion the left hand when the right
would be expected Mr.. Townsend draws
with his left hand. but he deals cards with
his right. This writer. being In all other re-
spects right handed. deals cards with the
left. The real equality between the hands
would probably be established from many
experiences.

form the Capitol to the Monument and then
on for more than a mile due west to the
proposed Lincoln memorial.
L'Enfant's Idea,

form the Capitol to the Monument and then
on for more than a mile due west to the
proposed Lincoln memorial.
L'Enfant's Idea.
LEnfant. in the plan of the city which
he submitted to Washington, had conceived
the idea of great mall, to be the site OF
the government buildings of the future. The
new museum is the first great edifice to be
placed according to the now possible mall Of
rEnfant. Its center will be upon the same
axis the Smithsonian, the two buildings
marking off the building line of the boule-
ward.
When 1t Ia considered that the founda-
lions cover an area larger than the treasu-
ry and second only to the Capitol some
idea Of the enormous floor space for the
storing of the millions Of the nations
curios may be imagined. For nine and a
half or ten acres of floor to be capable of
sustaining the weight of mastodon or loco
motive are supported by massive steel
Orders In one story there will be lao
tons OF steel. These immense brdge-steel
girders are now being placed on the con-
crete base, space 551 feet long and 31S
feet wide.
Soon after the centennial exhibition in
1876 Congress appropriated $500 GOO for
the present brick museum. 1t is 800 feet
square and yet scarcely a year after its
completion the secretary Of the institu-
ton complained to Congress Of its made
Guacy. Even the new building. for which
S'a000 Is to be the limit of cost, and for
which s1.5O0,0o0 has been appropriated is
not considered the ultimate size of the Ma
tional Museum. The architects have had
one of their problems the consideration
of the effect Of addition to the structure
under way. In devising a plan for a per-
manent monumental structure the proba-
btlty that 1t may be necessary to enlarge
the building determines many elements Of
Its proportion 1t Is easy to imagine that
the future may demand an extension of the
new building to twice Its present length or
that 1t may become the center of a group
which Is must dominate and concentrate

HOOD RIVER APPLES
ARE UNSURPASSED

The pre-eminence Of the Hood River
apple over that Of any other district
in the United States can be seen ev-
erwyhere that apples are displayed for
sale-at home, in adjacent cities, in
the great markets east of the Missis-
sippi river, and abroad. Recent visi-
tors to Portland from this city have
seen the fiuit from this locality on
sale at the commission houses along
side that from other districts In Ore
gon, Wsshir gton, Idaho and Califor-
MIA. Comparisons may be odious,
but they are also convincing and
these apples as compared to the home
product are as sunshine Is to can
die or gooseberry bush to the giant
fir.
The fine pack, color and quality of
the Hood River product surrounded
by the other apples in the commits
sion houses of Portland shines out
like diamond in a dust heap.
Among the other districts represent
ed we're some Spitzenbergs from
Snowy Butte in the Rogue River val.
ley. They were grown by the Olwall
Bros. and would be considered a
poor quality for the cider mill here.
The demand for fancy fruit at Port
land cannot be supplied, and the
dealers there are anxious to get hold
of some Hood River Spitzenbergs for
the holiday trade. Page & Son have
requested Manager Shepard to try
and secure some fruit of this kind for
them, and he will make an effort to
do so.
From Portland to Buffalo is a far
cry, but concentrations of the Hood
River apple, like brei d cast upon the
water returns. L. Silliman, who ship
ped some apples from here recently,
put his name and address in the box
with his fruit, and one day last week
