When the new Academy OF Music
In Brooklyn is finished It will be the
most notable example OF polychro-
matte architecture on this side of the
ocean. The use OF bright colors is
common in Italy, but 1t has not mp.
pealcd to American architects. or pos.
sibly TO American patrons OF architec-
ture. There are few examples OF
the use OF colored tiles In building.
says the Youths Companion. but none
where color has been employed SO ex-
tensively as in the facade Of the new
building in Brooklyn. The prevailing
color to be used here is cream in diff.
ferent shades. This will be varied
slightly on the first story. The sec.
ond division of the front will be cross.
ed by bands of decoration in green and
burnt sienna. and the wide cornice
will contain blue, red. yellow and 81.
emma. The life-sized lions heads. for
instance. in the cornice, will be n
tawny yellow with bright red tongues
hanging out. II the experiment made
on this great public hall Is successful.
more such buildings will probably be

Burdette's Big Potatoes.

Greeley.-In answer to a promise
made to Robert J. Burdette, the
preacher-humorist of Pasadena, Cali.
fornia, Frank Frost, former parish
ioner, sent him three potatoes weigh
ing together fourteen pounds, and n
photograph of them. Burdette's
friends thought 1t was one of his jokes
when he told of the size Of Greeley
potatoes. and he wanted to verify his
statements. Mr.. Frost has just re-
ceived the following letter from Bur
dette:
Dear Brother Frank-The spuds
have arrived, following right on the
heels of the photographs. AS is the
case with all distinguished creatures,
the photographs do not do the spuds
half justice. We do not know whether
to eat them or have them vanished
and preserve them. I am going to
take your letter to the prayer meet
ing Wednesday night and don't think
it would be wicked to take in the big
potato"
