would not hive to be changed In any
way however, as the switches make
1t possible to run the carrier on any

the construction and arrangements OF

All the interior finishings and walls
of the barn should be as smooth as
possible, so that the barn can be
washed down with cold water each
day. All the stanchions are generally
made Of enameled iron or japanned
iron, SO that the water will not have
any effect on them.
Two silos are included In the plan
for this barn. In many instances the
owner may decide that It would be
better to build one large silo, but very

ground. The feeding is generally very
easy in either case.
One Of the details of barn that is
very important is the type of hanger
that Is to be used on the sliding doors.
In large barn such as this one there
are quite few sliding doors, and the
best quality Of material should be
used, or they will be nuisance. The
kind that Is chosen should have
cover over the track so as to protect
1t from the action of the weather and
also keep the birds out Of it. It
should be strong enough so that there
will be 10 tendency to sag or break.
Little things like this are often con-
sidered unimportant, but If farmer
had a door break down during very
cold weather and had to nail it in po-
sitlon to keep his stock warm until
he could fix it, he would be much more
likely to consider such little things Of
importance afterward.
The floor plan shows all the equip
ment that is necessary to do all the
work In the stable. For instance,
hydrants are placed in the stable to

handle the cleaning. This is a good
plan, because the stable will be warm
enough 80 that there will be very little
danger Of the hydrants freezing, as
they might If they were on the out
side.
The study Of this plan will be worth
while to any man that is interested in

Three different kinds Of material are

framed,
Concrete Is used almost universally
for foundations now, no matter how

Of this material are very quickly built

nears an Esouimau sledge. There is real sledge
on exhibition up at the Museum of Natural
History. and Mr.. Franklin spent two days IN
making an exact miniature duplicate OF 1t.
Each piece was made separately, and the parts
we're dashed together with thongs, exactly as
the Esquimaus do it.
The Patagonian group is another instance
Of the high degree of accuracy that is neces-
sarv in this work. The Indian standing by
the pony is wearing peculiar kind of spurs
such as are found only in Patagonia. They
consist solely of a pair Of pointed sticks when
are dashed along both sides of his shoe, the
nointed ends projecting behind. 1t took an
hour to make a pair of these, but they are
right.
The result of all this panstakng attention
to detail is that every group is authentic from
syery point of view 1t may be accepted as
pictorial textbook.
In the course of his work Mr.. Franklin not
only studies reference books and other museum
exhibits, but obtains expert advice whenever
possible. Colonel Roosevelt is authority for
the correctness Of the Nasal group, for ex-
ample. In making the Polar groups the artist
obtained valuable assistance from Doctor Cook,
the much-abused arctic explorer. As Franklin
SAYS. THE doctor may not have discovered the
North Pole, but he's been lot nearer than
most of his critics"

same as those in nature. Water is represented

Mr.. Franklin is in turn painter, sculptor, car
penter. plasterer, woodcarver, costumer,
archaologist biologist, botanist and electrician.
In planning a group he first makes prelim-
mary sketch of the proposed scene in oil or
water color. This is submitted to his client for
approval and suggestions. He next builds
cardboard model on very small scale. After
this comes the actual construction of the fin
ished group
The background is a curved sheet of gal
vanized iron, on which is painted the sky and,
in some cases, the distant landscape. The fore
ground is modelled in plaster on framework
of wire netting. The figures Of people or ami
mails are modelled in wax.
Everything must be in proportion, and every
thing must be absolutely correct The costumes
must satisfy an ethnologst the birds must sat
isfy an ornithoogist the vegetation must salts
fy Misunderstanding in the group in fact
must be sufficiently perfect in detail to pass
muster with a specialist. The amount of study
and labor this entails is necessarily enormous.

good deal of difference between reading thing

create an astonishing illusion of reality.

years ago" Mr.. Franklin said, "when was

The museum. | believe. started the scheme of
showing birds, animals and reptiles against
backgrounds that suggested their natural en-

groups could be made more dramatic and con-

| decided to include human figures in the
scenes. in order still further to increase the
dramatic interest.
THAT is not new idea, understand; it is
merely combination of several existing types
of groups The one feature that really is en-
tirely new, think is the plan Of putting
gauze in front of the scenes in order TO
heighten the atmospheric effect and install

application of material that saw was the use
of transparent blown glass flames for the blub-
Der lamp Of an Esquimau igloo.
Mr.. Franklin does not conine himself 70 geo

work is a model of the banquet hall Of a media
val castle. which now stands in the Metropol-
tan Museum of Art This group is about i've
feet wide by six feet in height, and represents
the hall of Penshurst Castle, Kent, about the
wear 400. Everything is historically correct.
An architect drew plans for the room from
photographs of the existing Penshurst Castle.
Around the walls hang the coats Of arms OF
all the Penshurst best families of the period.
1t is probably in his figures that Franklin
has been most notably successful, for It was IN
these that he ran the biggest risk of failure.
If the human figures were not absolutely life
like many of the groups would be simply bur-
esoues. But small as they are, these little men
and women are remarkably convincing. | got
Franklin to photograph one of them standing
by telephone desk stand, in order TO illustrate
the relative sizes of the two, and the effect in
the picture is that Of a medium sized man by
an enormous telephone.
The figure, by the way, represents Lief
Erickson. and is from the first Of a proposed.
series Of historical groups. | hope Franklin
does them. He might succeed in turning a
course in American history from an insomnia
cure into something almost interesting.

"In the Nasal hunting scene the time Is

Of running the distant hills right into the sky
as usually do in groups of this sort, left

glow that approximates surprisingly well the
effect Of sunrise.
THE Patagonian and antartic groups are

Frankn's first group, made while he was
still connected with the Museum Of Natural
History. was an Esqumau scene, executed for
the museum Of the Newark Public Library.
This order was promptly followed by another
for a group Of Newark Indians. BY this time,
1914, he had decided to leave the American
Museum and devote himself to his geographi-
cal and historical groups. The Newark groups
came to the attention of the officials OF the
Brooklyn Children's Museum, who Immediately
ordered a series of twelve.
