WIsCoNSIN's NEW CAPITOL.
To he One of the Finest Structures OF
It's Kind In America.

1 ItA Nina In Amcrica'
The new Wisconsin state capitol, re-
Gently started and which is to be COM
| pleted within two years. will be one OF
| the finest in the United States. 1t will
be -four story granite structure, sur
mounted by large dome, says the
New York Tribune.
The form will be that of Il st. An
drew's cross with all the arms of equal
length and area, and it will be set di-
agonally on the square. with arms in
the direction of the cardinal points of
the compass and to the diagonal streets
terminating at the corners of the park.
The building will have an extreme
length from north to south and from
east to west of 420 feet. The width OF
the end arms will be 100 feet. A fea-
ture of the design is the entrances,
there being an entrance to the building
on the ground floor at the end of each
arm. with n continuous and uninter
rupted vista entirely through the build
ing at the inner angles of the cross.
On the principal floor there are curved
rOrticos surmounted by half domes.
They land directly in the rOtunda, from
which four grand staircases ascend to
the second floor. Under the outer ter
race Of steps leading to these entrances
are the carriage entrances, so arranged
that they will be reached by straight
Strives from the four avenues.
The rotunda. reaching from the
ground floor to the top of the dome.
will be eighty-four feet in diameter and
1856 feet high. Its walls and openings
will be embelliShed with columns Of
marble and granite and with its encir-
cling octagonal corridor will constitute
an imposing architectural composition.
The exterior diameter OF the dome Is
102 feet and the height from ground to
top of statue on top is 276 feet.
The building will rest on terrace
raised several feet above the surround
Ing streets and inclosed with stone
halustrade. The sides of this terrace
will be parallel with the streets encir-
cling the park. This, together with the
entrances at the corners, will give
logical setting for the building placed
diagonally in the park.

tain on the ground floor the minor Of
fees, on the main floor the principal Of
fees and on the second floor the as
sembly, senate and supreme court
rooms. There will also be provided a

A Lucky Accident.

If there is such thing as lucky
accident, it befell Prof. Joel Wilson of
the Toledo High School the fore part of
the week. He was out practcing with
a 44-caliber Winchester and the base
blue off reloaded shell. The slide
was driven back, striking Mr.. Wilson
across the nose and near the corner of
the right eye. The eye is also draped
in mourning, and one might be pardoned
for guessing that the Professor had
been in a miXup with an unruly pupil.
But it might have been worse; just a
little more to the right, and the good
right eye would have been destroyed,
or at least badly injured. That's the
lucky feature of the mishap,
