remarked that quartet of male voices had serenaded

Striking Central Court.
The most remarkable feature of the building is
the great central court, a comparison to which is
scarcely to be found in any Office building in the coun-
try. Whether it is seen in daylight or by the COM
bined radiance of the numerous incandescent lamps
that line it's walls it presents unparalleled vision
of architectural magnifcence, and has been pro-

first and second stories, rise from this entabature
and surmounted by semi-circuar arch around
the third story The whole is crowned by hand

the spannes are wrought in interaced Moorish
fretwork. The capitals which bear the arches

The Bee building excels The greatest has been
taken to afford the best possible sanitary arrange

been known in the building All offices are supplied
with running water and Italian marble basins Each
floor is provided with separate toilet for

combination fixtures for gas and ncandescent lights
and the current for the latter is furnished by sep
arate plant in the basement.
In the matter of fireproofing every precaution has
been taken that modern skill suggest. All the

to the main floor contiguous with the business office
At the time the composing removed

stalled in the space originally occupied by the press
room and mailing room, which had to be removed to
