British Museum.

The British museum recently OBJ
served it's one hundred and fifty-elghth
birthday, as it was established on jan
uary Is, 1859. 1t was Sir Hans
Sloane, an Irish-born physician of
Scotch extraction, who is honored as
the father of the museum. Sloane vas
created a baronet-a title to which no
English physician had before attained
two centuries ago, in recognition
Of his labors in writing a Natural His
tory of jamaica" His library of 50,-
600 volumes and 1855 manuscripts,
and his collection Of natural history
and art objects he ~bequeathed to the
government, on condition that his
daughters be paid 100000, which sum
scarcely exceeded the value OF the gold
and silver medals, ores and precious
stones in his collection. Several 9TH
er collections were added to that Of
Sloane before the museum was formal
ly opened in Montagu house in 1853.

The home builder is often disap-

has been worked out after months of
study. Sometimes he doesn't realize
that the changes mean, perhaps, the
saving of a great many dollars in the

The room was full of little girls In

rows at wooden desks, as quiet as
mice. Over them presided a sweet

had been through the entire range,

idea in q house that Is designed so
that there is considerable space vast
ed. In such a house the coziness is
sacrificed for some other effect that is
wanted. 1t is possible to get many
other effects in the house, such as
grandeur, elegance, etc., but this does
not impress the average person much
in the design of a home.
The little bungalow shown here has
that homelike, coy appearance that
typifies the average persons idea of a
real home. All the structural features
of the bungalow combine to give this
impression. The roof is very low and
is made with a fiat pitch. The caves
have n wide overhang, which is one of
the most inviting features of a bun
galow. The wide caves and the low
pitch of the roof have another effect,
also, in bungalow construction.
The bungalow at its best is built
very close to the ground. In cold eli
mates such a result cannot be obtained
because of the necessity of having a
basement that is adequate to hold a
heating plant. The same low-built eff
feet is obtained by building the bun
galow with wide eaves and with a fiat
pitched roof.
This bungalow is built far enough
above the ground so that q basement
can be provided with the necessary
windows and without too much exca-
walton. The porch also aids material
~ in getting this same effect of being
close to the ground. 1t is very broad
and is built under a separate gable

The bungalow comes nearer to meet

Almost everyone who plans to build
a house has al arrangement of rooms
formed in mind as the result of n
great deal of thought and discussion
with the different members of the fam
lily. The room arrangement is nearly
considered as the primary restriction
upon the architects free hand in draw
Ing up the design. Unconsciously,
perhaps, the prospective home builder
often places the architect in a difficult
position because of this fact.
Because of his training, the architect
does not see the room arrangement
alone, but he sees various arrange
nlents of partitions, one above the 9TH
or so that the floor and partitions loads
will be carried down to the founda-
