MAGNIFICENT CHURCH
Is NEARING COMPLETION
Chapel Of the Intereession in New
York VIII Be Finest Example of
Ecclesiastical Art.

New York, Oct. H.-An altar, bedecked
with relics from all over the world and
recalling many historical and traditional
places and incidents. will be the most alb
sOrbing feature of the magnificent Chapel
Of the Intercession, now nearing compile
ton on Washington Heights.
This church is declared to be the fine =
example OF ecclesiastical art and architec-
ture in New York, and probably in the
United States.
No building in New York has a setting
of greater historical interest-to the east
and south being Trinity Cemetery (now
its own churchyard), in which still ap-
pear family the ridge of the trenches
used in the battle of Washington Heights.
Within the chapel every bit of sornamen-
tation is of a profoundly symbolic charac-
ter.
The significance Of the whole, however,
will concentrate in the altar with its re-
markable suggestion of secular and sacred
history. There will be bits of sculpture,
bricks, colored tiles, rough Slabs, frag-
ments of tombs and palaces, pebbles from
Jordan. stones from Mount Sinai, the
walls of Jericho. the Temple of Jerusalem,
and the Mount of Olives. and other relics
almost countless. the gathering of which
is a story. in itself, and every one OF
which has its individual certificate of
authenticity.

making ready the tunnels through which
the city wi ! receive 100000 gallons Of
water daily. -
These tunnels are from 200 to 500 feet
below surface and are carved out of solid
rock, which win be lined with ] 1-2
foot thickness of concrete. thus avoiding
the deterioration that is characteristic of
iron pipe.
These operations extend all the way
from the .Ashokan Reservoir to Staten
Island, distance Of LII miles. There are
ninety-two miles of aqueduct north OF the
city's bounds. The four drainage areas
from which the supply will be drawn ag-
gregate 300 square miles.
Incidental to this stupendous undertake
ing seven towns are wiped out, causing
the removal of thousands of people; over
$500 bodies in thirty-two cemeteries have
been reinterred in new sites; sixty-four
miles of highway discontinued, and forty
miles OF new highway constructed, eleven
bridges built, eleven miles Of railroad re-

new system is designed TO supply the en-
tire population of Greater New York, and
provides for the growth of the city to

EHeCr OF Paint on CorroSiOn OF iron.
According to the rather surprising
results obtained by two German chem
lists, NJ. Liebreich and l.. Splitter, who
were experimenting with paint as q
preventive of the corrosion of iron. il
seems that one coat Of good paint OF
varnish is much superior to two OF
more coats. In their experiments a
second Goa proved absolutely detri
mental The experiments consisted in
painting we'll polished steel bars with
one or more oats and s~uspending the
bars over boiling water for -four days
Half Of the coating VAS then removed
and the barred metal we'll covered with
vaseline to prevent oxidation In each
case where only one coat of paint had
been applied the bars remained as
brilliant and rust free as before the
test. bat in the case Of two or more
coats, CorrOsion had taken place. The
investigators will not commit them
selves as to the explanation of this
but il may be that a coating of several
layers provides a less flexible cover,
more liable to crack. thus allowing
oXidi2ing agents to penetrate to the
metal surface.

MEXICO SECURES
AN immense IN LOAN
FRENCH AND BRITISH BANKERS
AGREE TO LEND 500, o,ooo, 900
TO REPUBLIC.

Mexico City, Mex, May 21.-The
Mexican congress early today gave its
sanction to an agreement for loan of
100000, 900 at six per cent interest.
The amount is guaranteed by thirty
eight per cent of the customs receipts.
The Mexican national bank is named
as the representative of the bankers
in the supervision Of the disburse-
ments
The debate on the loan was a long
one lasting until midnight.
The minister Of finance was charged
with failure to take better offers which
had been made. He replied that pro-
yisional President Huerta and the 9TH
er members of the Mexican cabinet
had urged on him the immediate ac-
ceptance Of this loan, as the other Of
fers received necessitated more delay.
It Is still necessary for congress to
discuss and vote upon the four articles
OF the financial measure but its ap-
proval OF the general terms Of the bill
makes 1t certain that it will also ap-
prove the details.
The loan has been placed with
French bankers but 1t Is certain that
British interests are participating. The
names of the bankers have not been
announced.
