ART IN ICE.
Wonderful Palace That Was Built ~

Wonderful Palace That Was Built BY
Cxarina Anne Of Russia.
The use of ice for architectural pur-
poses s. an art that has been carried
to high state OF perfection in north
ern countries, and some almost incred-
ible feats have been accomplished In
this curious branch of industry.
Probably the most remarkable build
ing constructed wholly Of Ice was the
palace built on the Neva by Czarina
Anne OF Russia In 1899. The first at
tempt to construct this building was
unsuccessful. as the slabs OF Ice were
too thin and the building collapsed In
the first thaw. Subsequently large
blocks OF ice were cut and squared
with great care and laid on one an
other by skillful masons. who csn.Dt

pleted was fifty-six feet long. seven
teen and half broad and twenty-one
high. 1t was of but one story. The
facade contained a door surmounted
by an ornamental pediment anc six
windows. the frames and panes OF
which were all Of Ice. An elaborate
balustrade, adorned with statues, ran
along the top Of the facade, and an
other balustrade surrounded the build
ing ut the level Of the ground. The side
entrances to the Enclosure were flanked
with pillars supporting urns. the lat
ter containing orange trees. whose
branches, leaves and flowers were all
Of ice. Hollow pyramids Of Ice on each
side Of the building contained lights
by night. TIE grounds were further
adorned with q life size figure OF an
elephant, with his nahout on his back.
A stream Of water was thrown from
the elephants trunk by day and a
fame Of naphtha by night.
A tent Of Ice contained hot bath.
In which persons actually bathed.
There were also several cannons and
mortars Of Ice. which were loaded with
bullets OF ice and iron and discharged.
The interior OF the building was COM

and painted to initiate the real objects.
A bedchamber contained a state bed
with curtains. a dressing table with

negotiations and in fact are now
doing 20 in a preliminary manner
pending the termination OF the ne
xotistions that have been conduct
ed with the Denver parties. Ru-
mors to this effect have waited to
the ears of those connected with
this paper and it is a satisfaction
to know that in case of these ru-
msrs maturing, some of our enter
prising citizens will be interested,
Backed by necessary capital, to
make 4 success. 1t is hoped that
the plans as contemplated will ma
ture and it is believed they will
if the satisfactory deal can be
made with the Sanitarum company
and from the report to the stock
holders, it looks as if such can be
done. Those who are interested
in the new deal realize that with
the opening up Of the Denver-to-
Idaho Springs highway, the pos
sibilities of the warm springs and
baths as paying investment can
hardly BE- conjectured if the prop
proper accommodations are forth
coming and there is no doubt but
what these will be of the best.

the new deal will in all probability
be cunsumated during the coming
