equipped in America, with especial ap-
pointments and apparatus for the
treatment Of diseases usually found
among immigrants.
The power house Will contain two
powerful boilers and an engine room
fitted with two condensing engines OF
the most recent type. having a total
horsepower Of about $50. A high pow
er dynamo will also be Installed here
to light the hundreds Of incandescents
that are to illuminate the station.
There will be many street lights, and
each room In all the various buildings
of the model village will have its full
complement of electroliers.
There will be q laundry completely
fitted up with modern appliances.
w re all the washing of the station
will be expeditiously handled. The

to be of frame construction with con-
crete foundations. The big wharf will
be brilliantly lighted at night and will
contain lighthouse and fog bell to
warn mariners of treacherous rocks
and shoals. The administration build
ing is to be heated by steam, while a
hot water heating system will be In
stalled in the hospital.
The water problem, which threat
ened to present serious difficulty
when first considered, has been solved
by Mathews. There will be two res
ervoirs, one containing fresh water
brought in by barges and also secured
from a spring which Is now being
developed, the other containing salt
water pumped from the bay. The
salt water will be used for bathing
purposes in the Asiatic quarters and
the fresh water for cooking and drink
ing purposes.
The task Of building the model immi-
grant station has presented many diff
culties, chiefly on account Of the ir-
regular formation Of the island and
the necessity Of bringing everything
in by boat. However, these are being
overcome, and it Is probable that, an
other year will see the station COM
pleted. Landscape gardeners are al
ready engaged In laying out the
grounds, which will be as artistically
beautiful as they can be made and
will present very pleasing sight to
passing vessels. Probably half a hun
dred or SO will constitute the resident
force Of employees, and regular ferry
service will probably be esta blished
when congress passes the necessary
appropriation, as 1t has promised to
do at the next session.
