Lighting System.

In conversation with Mr. Brinkman
he recommended further different
lighting system TO supplant the coal
oil lamps nov in use. The board has
been considering this for some time
past and electricity will be installed.
But the board feels that as long as
the LONE has gone without it for a
perioo OF thirty or forty years IT
might as well wait and take adyant-
age Of power furnished by the water
power company. The homes own
system might be put in, for there is
an engine already at hand that could
be used. but it is likely that the
board will see fit to wait for some
time yet. especially with the compile

To maintain patients in the state hos

gruity of the scheme. 1t seems little light
placed above those heroic pillars The latter
have, indeed always been somewhat discon-
certing erected as they are in so shallow a
porch. But to have adjusted sculpture above
them in the simpler ard boIder key implied in
their massiveness would doubtless have
oured a revision of the whole pedment. AS
the church stands the present relief amply
justifies itself the actual effect triumphing over
what u.s. perhaps, an academic objection.
1t is fine thing in itself and it has an
added interest pointing the way to ilimta-

American architects and sculptors viii be quick

bay. He came to the belief that they were tn.
remains of Buddhist mona steries, and that the
largest mound would possibly conceal remains
OF q shrine Stupa erected over some sacred
relic. EXcavating this mound, he unearthed two
large and we'll moulded terra Gotta images of
the Buddha The decorated wall in which they
were set measured so feet, and proved to be
one side of a square pediment or base of d
stupa, and in the centre of the stuPa we'll was
found, some 25 feet in depth and 10 feet in
diameter. Beneath q brick slab therein was
deep. containing rough stone Golfer in two
pieces and two little earthen pots choked with
sand.
Within the heavy stone casket a small
crystal bottle some , inches high, half incased
in silver and thick with verdigris. Within
the bottle was an even smaller silver casket
wrapped in gold leaf and embedded in dust
of a peculiar brown color. 1t only bare
inch and half in length but within lay yet
another cylinder of gold. A little gold cup
lifted out was found to contain only a few
specks of dust and fragment of clear stone
The dark brown dust proved, under the micro
scope, to be burnt human ash, and it is
jectured that this is the real relic-that there
too much to place in the gold cylinder it
was packed around it. Mr. CouSenS attributes
the date of the stupa tentatively to the fourth
century a. d. Hieun Tsang, the great Chinese
traveller. who visited India when Buddhism
fourishing in the north records that after the
cremation of Gautama The ashes divided
into nine portions and distributed among nine
sects of disciples in various parts of India. The
discovery of two of these carefully preserved
relics of the Lord Buddha within less than
twelve months is a remarkable evidence of the
value of the work of the Archaeological Depart
ment in India since its enlargement and re-
constitution by Lord CurZon-

the church and thought Of this decoration he
called to his aid Mr.. H. Siddons Mowbray, the
accomplished painter who has shown IN ms
decorations for the library of the University
Club, and in other distinguished work, pecu-
liar sympathy for the tradition of the Italian
Renaissance. Between them they worked out
design similar in general composition to the
one which has now been placed in the pedl-
ment Antonn Skodick, young sculptor, who
had formerly been a pupil of Mr. MowbrayS
was commissioned 10 prepare a sketch model,
but he died while this work in progress,
and Mr. Adolph A. Weinman was thereupcn
asked to take the scheme in hand. He prepared
a new sketch model the lines suggested by
Mr.. White, but he given entire freedom as
to the composition of the figures, and the relief
is essentially the product of his art 1t is in
tcresting to observe the manner in which he
developed the design. First he had made a
Photographic enlargement, to the full size, of
his sketch model and placed it in the pediment,
thereby gaining invaluable light on the ques-
ton Of the scale of the figures. His next study
was made one-fourth of the full size and on
this the final model was based. On its being
cast in plaster Mr.. Mowbray proceeded to work
out the color scheme, and thus the relief went
to the Atlantic Terra Gotta Works at Perth
Amboy to be cast, perfect instance of the
harmonious collaboration of architect painter
and sculptor The final model ty the way,
made nC-twe!fth larger than full size, so
to allow for the usual shrinkage of the material
cut of which the relief is made.
I The decoration has for its subject The ADO
ration of the Shrine of Truth The central
Shrine or tabernacle is supported By floating
angels with harp and SCROLL and these angels,
who, with the cherubs placed at different points
in tho composition, chant the praise of God, are
symboical of religious song and word The
knight the right OF the shrine represents the
Church Militant. In the position on the
other side is Il shepherd whose meaning is
equally obvious, and the two together illustrate
the equality of the mighty and the humble
The celestial bodies also indicated against

bodied in this decoration is very beautiful and
It has been developed with remarkable grace
and skill Both in its linear qualities and in the

striking, recently assigned to the command
of the military Department of the East with
headquarters at Governors Island, New York
He will retire Memorial Day, four years
hence.
All of President Grants other children are
also living. Jesse r, the youngest son, is in
New York, where he is interested in mining

1903, just sixty years after his grandfather got
his diploma at the same institution He was
lately appointed superintendent of the State,
War and Navy Building, in Washington. He is
twentyeight years old, having been born on In
dependence Day, 1881.
An army career was chosen by another grand
son of President Grant-Algernon Sartoris jr
son of the generals only daughter, Nellie who
in 1874 was married to Algernon Sartoris ST.
son of Adelaide, sister of the famous actress
Fanny Kemble. Their son, Algernon after
serving in the Spanish war as a first lieutenant
of engineers and a captain Of infantry, received
a commission lieutenant of regulars, but re-
signed after serving one year. More recently
he received appointment as secretary of
legation to of the Latin-American repub-
lies, but resigned after serving only a few
months. His mother was not the only de-
scendant of General Grant to marry foreigner
His cousin, Julia Dent Grant, was few years
ago married to Prince Michael Cantacuzene, of
the Russian Imperial Guards.
Two of General Robert E. Lees sons are still
living. George Washington Gusts Lee, the
eldest son, who will be seventy-seyen next Sep
TENDER, lives at Burke, Va, and since 1897 has
been president emeritus at Washington and Lee
University. His mother the daughter of
George Gusts, the adopted of President
Washington and grandson of Martha Wash

Robert E Lee, 3D. another son of the Con-
federate commander in chief is living upon his

from it there should flow powerful and fruit
full influence Technical observers of such mat
tiers will watch with special interest the effect
of our climate upon the pediment. 1t has
hitherto seemed unlikely that American weather
would leave absolutely unscathed a work OF
this kind. If it does so then we are in fair way
to witness a widespread revival of Della Rob-
bian sculpture. We do not need to recall the
lovely achievements of that famous group in
Italy, we have only to look at this work of Mt
Weinman's, to realize the rich and charming
gifts which such a revival would bring in its
train. X G.
