SIZE OF BUILDINGS.
Data as to the Cost Of Public Strue-
lures

Some of the architectural journals and
the New York dailies in commenting upon
the great post Office BUILDING just planned
for that city and awarded in competition
to Architects McKim Mead & White
aver that 1t will be the largest post ONCE
building in the world. as 1t will contain
114.375 square feet of floor area. and add
that London comes next with post Office
having 1O1 600 square feet Of floor area.
These editors must either be misinformed
as to the exact size Of the proposed new
building or they have forgotten Chicago's
mammoth structure that we have always
supposed was the largest building of that
character in the world. which belief is
further strengthened if the figures given
for the New York building are correct.
The following interesting data about the
great monument have been given us by its
designer and deputy architect, Mr.. r. w
Fitzpatrick. now of this city. The post
Office proper contains 344. 100 square feet
of working space plus $4,000 feet of pub
lie corridors, but serving the post Office
di, isions. The total floor area of that
building. including all the courts and other
Offices of the government. as we'll as the
pos: Office equals 600 200 square feet. Of
which $4,000 are working space.
There are II .90s. OnO cubic feet of space.
and the building cost 40 cents per cubic
foot The old building 1t replaced had
cost nearly 81 cents per cubic foot. The
Library of Congress cost CD cents. and
most of the other great monumental
buildings have cost oyer 50 cents. so that
cbieago's is not only the largest, but. as
Mr.. Fitzpatrick figures It. the most eco
nomicaly built structure of its kind in
the country. spite of its having passed
through many vicissitudes. Incidentally
there were 100000 cubic feet of granite
used in it's construction and over $4,000. 900
pounds OF steel.

a motive had anything to do with de-
tern.ining the method OF doing the work
i'm the case of Mr. Bradley's residence.
for, in fact. while the house as IL stood
very good type of architecture. yet 1t
was a substantial structure. we'll built
and capable OF many years of service.
The changes made were by no means a
radical as those in the case OF the resi-
dence at 18th and 1 streets. which John
r Mclean recently remodeled for his
own use.
Entire Change Made.
The exterior walls of the Hubbard house
remain except the cornice and the spaces
about the windows and the rest Of
the stone work. which is all new
and which is. OF course. highly orna-
mental and important detail OF the exte-
rior. In the case of the Mclean house
there is not a portion of the old structure
that is now to be seen. The entire brick
work of the old walls has disappeared and
commonplace old walls are the new walls.
which in color and form and material
furnish one of the most interesting ex-
amples OF brick work in this city.
The change made in this house is as
complete and entire as il the structure
had been started anew from the ground
up. About the same change, as far as it's
extent is concerned. was made when the
residence of Mrs. Townsend on Massa-
cEusetts avenue near Florida avenue was
built. and In both cases types Of homes
were produced which are looked upon as
the best Of the sort here. In fact.
the residence of Mr.. Mclean is conceded
by competent Judges to be one Of the
best examples of architectural work to
be found in this city.

divided. is a rarity in any portion Of the

Truesdell at Columbia road and goth
street would net be in that class at this
time were it not for the fact that it Is his
home.
The expanse of green lawn about the
house which Is partially concealed from
the gaze of the passerby on the street by
the foliage of the trees and Of the shrub
berry has made this place conspicuous,
standing as 1t does in the midst Of the
city streets and blocks of city houses. 1t
is now the intention of Col. Truesdell to
make subdivision Of the property and
cut 1T into building lots. but in such a
occupied with dwellings the place will
have the appearance of a lawn, dotted
with houses.
In order to do this the division into the
building lots has been made with great
care so that the really fine and rare
trees will not be destroyed and also the
shrubbery will be preserved.
1t Is also the purpose to have erected
only detached dwellings Of high charac-
ter. There are to be no alleys. for there
the open space on each side. There will!
also be no stables. SO that the entire prop
erty will have the advantages not only Of
the space belonging to each house, but
also that Of the others.
The location of the property has ad-
vantages owing to its elevation command
ing extensive views of the valley of Rock
Creek and the fine new bridge over that
stream.
In arranging for the erection of de-
tached houses Col. Truesdeli recognizes
what is undoubtedly a growing tendency
In the building of dwellings in this city
at this time. There is a demand for
SPACE about houses or perhaps more
ample provision for light and air in the
interiors.

Teak is coming into use in the finish

the ordinary builder, but with the in

Venetian prisoners first came into no

period the mania fer poisoning had risen
to such a height that the governments Of
the states were formally recognizing Sc

Why the Poor Man Works.
From Harper's Weekly.

q .
One hears 1t said that the rich compel
the poor to work. To this Clemenceau has
most wisely replied: The rich do not
compel the poor to work, nature compele
them to work. Work, the search for food.
ts the universal law of nature, impera-
lively laid on all. young and old, male
and female alike; and lasting the whole
lifetime. All that the rich do is to show
the poor what to work at: and this they
do. not because they are rich, for a rich
fool cannot do 1t. but because they have
the twofold power of seeing what is need
ed to be done and co-ordinating the pow
ers Of others to get 1t done. The poorest
man in the country, if he have these two
powers will soon become rich 1t Is not
capital that makes power effective; 1t 10
inherent power that makes capital ef-
fective. The richest men among us to-
day began with no capital but their In
herent power: and what we call capital
Is merely the register of that power, the
evidence that the power has been exertsd !;
but the inherent power Is the real thing
Whatever form the state may have, we
are. and always shall be. dependent on
those who have the twofold power of See
ing what Ia to be done and of o-ordinat-
ing workers to do It.

1t is too small an amount to put in the

fort in spending it. Just wait until you
get sufficient worth while before you de-
post 1t.
Do not try to economic. 1t is an in
fernal nuisance to always try to save a
few cents here and there. Besides. you
will get the reputation of being mean and
stingy. You want everybody to think you

flowers, and these are propagating the
creed that the most uninviting back yard
may be Transformed into a thing of
beauty. That the experiments of these
are productive of results is evident In the
interest awakened to convert the neglect
ed spaces into spots of floral loneliness.
Example Is contagious. and the spirit Of
emulation has been awakened in some
localities to such an extent that neigh
bors vie one with another to make their
miniature gardens excel in attractiveness.
Some cities have formed an outdoor art
association. whose purpose is to encour-
age the identifying of the locality in
every possible way. One of the objects Is
this transformation of the back yard, and
prizes are offered as an incentive to at
tain artistic excellence
