LONDON, Eng, June 9.-The new
war office in Whitehall, which has
taken just six years to complete, is un-
doubtedly one of the most wonderful
and up-to-date buildings in all London.
Magnificent and imposing as the ex-
terror is it gives but a small idea of
the vast undertaking involved in it's
construction. Some interesting details
showing the actual quantity of ma
terialS used in the building follow:
Ordinary bricks. twenty-five millions.
Glazed bricks, one and a half mil
lions.
Portland stone, twenty-six thousand
tons.
Lead, sixteen hundred tons.
Steel, three thousand, five hundred
tons (used for floors, &C., the building
not being of steel construction)
Concrete, thirty-five thousand cubic
yards.
The immense size of the building is
indicated by the fact that there are:
Six hundred rooms.
Two and one-half miles of corridors.
Seventeen miles of cornices.
Nine miles of chimney flues.
Seven acres of asphalt
Fifty-four acres of plasterers' work.
One hundred miles of piping-heat,

OPERA BY A REAL QUEEN
Carmen SYLVIA" in "Marioara," Tells
Story of a Roumanian Girl
Who Welded WRONG Man
peciaI Cable TO The Herald.


BUCHAREST, Roumania, June o.
Queen Elizabeth of Roumania-whose
royal husband, King Charles, celebrated
the thirtieth anniversary of his taking
the throne-has long been famous for
her poems and other writings under the
pen name of Carmen SYLVIA" and has
now written the story for an opera en-
titled "Marioara," the music of which
is by the Roumanian composer Cosmo-
Wei. The opera was performed recently
for the first time in Germany at Nu-
remberg.
The libretto is based on a Roumanian
legend. Two brothers, Marin and
Tudor, love Marioari who loves Tudor
but marries Marin because Tudor is too
modest to open his heart to her.
In the second act, year later, Mario
ara has a child which cannot sleep.
The mother believes, in conformity with
Roumanian folklore, that this is a pun
ishment for her hidden love fof Tudor.
which she never overcomes. She con-
fesses this love over the child's cradle,
tudor oVerhears it, and at Marioaras
feet pour out all that his heart had so
long Measured up. During this double
confession of love the child falls asleep,
never to wake again. Tudor rushes out
and is murdered by Marin, who
imagines that his wife has been on too
Intimate terms with his brother.
Years pass. Marioara has other chill
dren, Marin feels the burden of crime
and confesses to his wife, from whom
he demands in return a confession Of
unfaithfulness. Marioara denies this
with clear conscience, and Marin begs
for mercy at his brothers. grave.
In the final scene an angel appears
and waves the palm of peace over the
penitent sinner.
AS an opera the work is mediocre, but
II had a fair success.
