WORK ON NEW
YORK'S CATHEDRAL

There has just been placed on exhibi.
tion in New York a model of the accept.
ed design for the nave of the cathedral
of st. John the Divine, in this city. This
| is after plans by Cram g. Ferguson, OF
Boston, and it is expected that there
win be only few minor revisions. The
work of building the nave will begin
very shortly and the construction will
probably take five years. The cost OF
this portion of the structure is estimat'
ed at about 81 100000, and it is planned
to spend 100000 a year on the work
The cost of the nave is only one-tenth
of the amount that it is expected to ex-
pend on the completed building. The
nave will extend from the present cross
ing, which is now used for the purpose
of worship, almost to Amsterdam ave-
nue.. The model is an excellent piece
of work in itself, built up of Bristol
board, with the carved work in papier
mache and the window in eolored eel
luloid.
In formal statement explaining the
model and its relation to the general
architecture of the cathedral, the arehi-
tects say:
1--WE have made no attempt to develop
a final scheme for the crossing, transepts,
towers and west front. The time has
not come for decision on these points.
The question of central dome, tower,
or spire as against transeptal or other
towers should await the construction of
the nave. As at present designed, we
are persuaded this nave will harmonic
equally well with central tower or
with transeptal towers.
Regarding the west front, we are of
the opinion that the towers should be
moved further north and south, so that
the front on Amsterdam avenue should,
in general mass, approximate more near
ly that of Bourges, than that of Notre
Dame, Paris.
1T is understood, of course, that the
details of ornament, the carving, etc,
are tentative only, as they appear in
the model This refers TO traeery, pan
cling, balustrades, parapets, capitals,
inches, and pinnaeles. For materials,
we believe the interior should continue
the color effect already in use in the
choir, with the introduction of yellow
Michigan granite for the columns. The
main walls of the exterior should be of
Michigan granite, while the cut work
should well be of the Kingwood stone,
used with good results for the exterior of
the Potter chapel.'-Stone.

QUINCY MEN ON PICNIC.
Granite Manufacturers Spent Day at
Bass Point.

Quincy, Mass, Aug. l0.-The annua
summer outing of the Quincy Granite
Manufacturers association was hello
Saturday at Bass Point. The first or
the program was baseball game be
tween West Quincy and South Quincy
won by the former, to 7.
By this time word was passed that
the photographer was ready for the time
honored picture and while seated in a
semi-circle. the faces of the party were
transferred to the sensitive film. Din
ner was then announced and everybody
filed into the dining room where reg
ular shore dinner was served. During
the dinner the cabaret girls sang a num-
Der OF popular songs, the words of which
were printed on slips passed among the
party, and above the soprano voices the
sweet tenor of Dick Prout was plainly
audible.
Dinner over the party separated and
sought out the various amusement
places. One of the most popular OF
these seemed to be the skating rink and
here several of the party furnished fun
for a large crowd of spectators.
Meanwhile Vice President A. ID. Mar
mock was trying to round up the ath-
letes for the field sports and in this
he was eventually successful. Last year
the prizes given the winners in the sew
eral events were in the nature of jokes,
but this year there were real prizes.
There was but one event that was at
all close, that was the fat mans race.
Three heats were necessary to decide
this and even then it was claimed that
the final heat resulted in tie between
G. Mavers and j. Brine. They had al
ready run three heats and were winded.
The tie was settled therefore by tossing
penny and George Mavers won.
The result of the other events was
rs follows;
hundred yard dash won by Thorn
ms Djer; three-legged race won by Da-
vid Mcintosh and Ernest Collins; 90
yard backward race won by Thomas
Djerf, standing -hop-skip-and-jump won
by David Mcintosh, distance rs feet,
more or less; clothes pin race, won by
Thomas Djerf placing stone, stretch
won by Thomas Djerf; placing stone,
three hops, won by Thomas Djerf; three
standing jumps, won by Thomas Djerf.
Ii was nearly o'clock by this time
and most of the party went back TO
Boston on that boat. Others remained
down for the evening and returned later,
Just what time no one knows, but they
all arrived home in time for church
Sunday morning.
There was nothing during the day TO
mar the pleasure and only two slight
incidents. One OF these was when one
OF the middle aged athletes fell over and
landed on his sailor straw hat which was
neatly crowned. The other mishap hap
pened on the way up on the boat. One
OF the young men was busily engaged
watching the battleship New Jersey as
she steamed maiestioally past, when
along came a puff Of wind and away
went his straw hat. u hoated short
distance on the water in tantailizing
way and then sank out of sight.

SWINE SPREAD FOOT
AND MOUTH DISEASE
New Outbreak Emphasizes Need of Care
full Inspection by Farmers and
StOckraisers.

The susceptibility of swine to the foot
and-mouth disease and the failure on
the part of swine owners TO recognize
its symptoms are giving the federal au-
thorities no small amount of worry in
their cleanup" campaign.
Sore mouth, common indication OF
hog cholera, and Commissions on the feet
are frequent in swine which have been
driven or shipped For these reasons
little attention is paid by the owners
of swine to these symptoms, and unless
the herd is located within suspicious ter
Iritory oot-and-mouth disease may con
tinue in chronic form for consider
able length of time before discovery.
The danger of course lies in the ability
of these animals to disseminate the
disease.
Since the first case of foot-and mouth
disease found in herd of hogs in Mich
igan, which later permitted the infec-
ton of the Chicago stock yards, hogs
more than any other animal have been
responsible for the spread of the dis
case. A few months ago, in the out
skirts of Philadelphia, in district con-
tanning close to 10000 swine kept in
small lots, several thousand were found
to be infected.
On July 20 foot-and mouth disease
infection was discovered to exist in a
herd of 90 cattle within the city limits
of Hornell, Steuben county, New York.
Another herd of 25 cattle, pastured
across the road from these, has been ex-
posed ard is under surveillance. As no
known cases of the disease had previous
ly been found within radius OF over
10 miles, the source of the infection re-
manned a mystery until two days later,
when l25 swine, divided among five
herds, were found infected within a half
mile of the first discovered premises.
These swine had evidently had the dis
ease in mild form for considerable
length OF time. Infection had been car
ried from these to the cattle through
drainage.
This again emphasizes the need, the
authorities state, for continued careful
examination OF all live stock in previous
ly infected areas, especially large herds
OF swine. Farmers and stock raisers by
giving immediate notice of any suspi-
cious cases to the nearest health officer
will greatly aid the authorities in their
efforts to eliminate this pest, which II
allowed to gain a foothold would re-
suit in untold damage 10 the nation.
Owing to the fact that few animals
are shipped from the section in which
the latest outbreak occurred, it is be-
lieyed that no serious or widespread
will result from this new
center OF infection.

GRANITE PAVING

| The Granite Paving Block Manufac-
turers association of the United States
| is doing an excellent work in making
known to the general public, as well as
to city officials and engineers, the unde-
niable superiority Of granite over every
other material for paving purposes. In
recent circular, the association says:
"Granite blocks have been used for
pavements from time immemorial, be-
cause granite is the most suitable and
durable economical material 1t is wear
resisting; tough and free from chipping
and taking, and being close grained, it
is free from impurity absorption. No
artificial or manufactured product can
equal this perfection.
Hundreds of years of testing and
wear experience, under the traffic OF all
manner of vehicles, in all kinds OF cities
and under all conditions Of grades and
weather, have demonstrated that granite
is the only material possessing 100 per
cent. of enduring value for paving.
This is a recognized and well-known
fact, evidenced by the past use of gran
lite blocks almost exclusively for endur-
ing paving. This is a national and in
ternational engineering practice. Gov
ernments use granite for paving drive
ways. Street railways use granite for
paving between tracks. Large corpora
tions use granite for paving factory yard
runs and area ways. The architect speci-
fies granite for those structures which
must stand most wear and give longest
life service Granite is the one enduring
rock
Hence, city and highway engineers
now demand an improved granite paw
ing block and an improved method of
LAYING it-something which will give a
smooth, durable and sanitary pavement
free from Objectionable noise, offering
the best traction for vehicles and a sure,
safe foothold for horses drawing heavy
loads and which will be reasonable in
first cost and eliminate practically all
the burden of maintenance.
This demand has been met by the
owners of granite quarries. To-day, aft
er many years of practical experiment
ing and developing, both in methods of
manufacture and methods of laying the
finished blocks, there is available a speci-
fication for improved granite blocks and
definite knowledge Of the best meth
DDS for laying, which gives practical paw
ing perfection and eliminates the obiec-
tions offered TO the use of old style
granite paving.
"This closeness TO 100 per cent. eff
cheney in granite paving may be shown
50 clearly and so practically by reference
TO work which has stood the test Of
almost a score Of years Of service-that
the citizen himself may recognize its
perfection with almost as much assur-
ance Of the correctness of his decision as
the engineer"
