was asked: Are there any girls in
your factory who do not know Eng

answer. "Dumbest things you ever

they work as fast as anybody. But

feel sure that, though situated at
such great distance from New York,
the residents Of FL Paso viii be in
terested in a description Of this won
derful building.
The project of erecting a cathedral
worthy Of the name of the Episcopal
church was first considered in 1870.
This resulted in me granting Of a
charter of 1878 For various reasons
including the financial stringency or
the period, no steps were taken to
actually start the work upon the
building, and IT was not until Ii years
later. in 1885, that q beginning was
made Since that time the work has
steadily progressed, and this week the
completed portion will be dedicated
President Taft has been invited to
the exercises and the list of those who
viii attend includes prominent clergy
men Of other than the Episcopal de-
nomination, as well as public officials
and well known men in many walks Of
life.
One of Greatest of Churches.
In this magnificent structure. Ameri-
cans will possess one OF the very
greatest of the worlds churches. When
completed it will cover $4,000 square
feet and will rank fourth among the
sanctuaries of the Christian world
The three larger cathedrals are st.
Peters, Rome; the Cathedral Of Seville
in Spain, and the Duomo Of Milan
The total cost is estimated at s1O,-
600. 900
An Idea of It's Size.
Some idea Of the spaciousness Of the
building can be formed when the di7
mansions Of the completed section are
known The crossing is only the
central square from which the complete
cathedral will develop. One arm is the
choir. The choir and crossing, ire
speetive Of the chapels- are 240 feet
long The crossing is LOO feet wide.
and there is an interior height of $50
feet in the crossing, and 10 feet in the
choir.
Architecture Distinctive.
Although in architecture the Cathe-
dral OF St. John the Divine is dis
ttnctive and represents modern Amer
lean art, it follows the traditions OF
cathedral building to some exent In
a general way it may be termed round
arehed gothic. The most conspicuous
feaure of the cathedral will be its
central tower. The westerly tower
viii be 245 feet high The total in
terror length of the structure is to be
525 feet. The dome will be 252 feet
high
One of the interesting features of this
cathedral is the wide field that, has
been called upon TO yield its product to
the harmony and beauty Of the inter-
prise of the building.

In the old world the cathedrals in
terest centers in the fact that the build
ing is a local product. That is, it was
built by the personal work and sacri-
flee of some little community without
money, without machinery and with
only the materials that could be quar-
ried or manufactured in the vicinity.
Loses Local Color.
Such is not the case in this modern
structure Contract labor supplies the
hands, and each stone is laid to the
tune of at least four languages. But
it is in the distance from which the
materials themselves have been brought
that the cathedral loses all possibility
of local flavor. Beneath the granite
columns and around the bases Of the
walls CLOVIS the rose colored stone Of
Georgia, and under that, in subdued
light lies Pennsylvania's cool green
onyx. Vermont supplies the marble
for the white altar, and the dull red
steps in the Belmont Chapel are red
jasper from the mountains of the far
northwest The pale limestone sur
rounding the altar place was brought
from Minnesota, while Peekill hills
have been diminished to supply the
granite for the outside walls The
angry looking yellow spotted marble
that throws into high relief the altar
table in the oriental chapel was
brought in freight ships from Egypt,
and the delicately wrought table itself
was quarried in the marble fields Of
Carrara.

In ST. Columba's chapel the wrought
iron candlesticks that shoot out their
twisted branches several feet above
our heads were wrested from perhaps
a more congenial background in the
ballroom of some Italian palace. And
these branching candlesticks are not
all that Italy contributes. for the cele-
brated Barberini tapestries, now in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, but des-
tined some day to hang on the dull
gray cathedral walls, were made in
