the music. Dancing will be held
each evening in the hall and it
has been rumored that theatri~
ca1 troupe is to pc here to put on
ts9,:|Sral up date plays. An

Virginia HIGHLANDS.

An extremely intere ug aud simple
equipment has lately been inverted by
q young Alexandria architect. Milton
Dal Morrill,, who has, after years
study and experiment, developed q
standard sectional at ell mould tquiI-
msns, which can be adapted to almost
any work and which should do much
to reduce tae cost of permanent freproof
buildings.
The equipment comprises farged
plated feet sq1are, locked together aud
forming CONTINUOUS trough on top OF
the wall. Into this trough is poured
the concrete and alter tbs becomes hard
a lower tier OF plates Is loosened, clean
ed and oiled aud swung BY hinged rods
on top, and filled in turn. This process
is continued until floor Is reached,
when these plates are removed and laid
fat, forming the ceb taring for the moor
slab.
The first building to be constructed Is
DOW we'll under way at Virginia High
lands, a lew hundred feet south OF the
station at Addison, on the Alexandria
& Mt. Vernon Railway.
When the Plates are removed from
the walls, a very smooth flash is left,
requiring no plsstsr and q pleasing de-
sign is left by the j iating of the mould
sections.
A brush coat of white cement Is sp-
piled to the walls to give uniform
color and as a precsulion against damp
meas.
IT. proposed to demonstrate at Vr.
ginia Highlands that permanent. arts.
tic houses eau be built and sold at no
greater cost than for the less substantial
frame houses DOW constructed.
Messrs. Billiard and Tsulsane, q Wash

combustible materials and set on fire
to show that they will not Turn, and

Many visitors have already Inspected
the work, attracted By this cost.ssving

has been scientifically laid ont with

to make 1t model community of which
