Chicago, May 11.-The great mar

Chicago, May 1.-The great mar ble home of the Field Museum of Natural History which has cost $6,- 75O,OO0 was opened here this week. The structure forms one of the most impressive features of Chicago's downtown lake front.
 It has made the museum, which contests for American supremacy with the American Museum of Nat ural History in New Yory and stands among the four leading scien- tifc institutions of the world, read ily accessible to the city public.
 Hitherto the Field Museum has been located in Jackson Park in the old Fine Arts Building of the Chi cago Worlds Fair, which gave the museum birth. The new building fol- lows the plan of the old.
 It has taken seven months to move the collection from the southsidc to downtown. Spur railroad lines are established from the two- build ings to a railroad line and in ad- dition motor cars were used. A year was assigned for the task and it's completion in five months less is regarded by the museum staff as a remarkable achievement. The job made the longest "moving day" the West has yet seen.
 There is nothing comparable to the museums display of the worlds animals grouped in their natural habitat. according to museum off cials, while also in botany no other institution is in the same class. Is collections of meteOrites and Ot Chinese archaeology are held 10 he without parallel.
 The museum was planned toward the close of 1893 to commemorate the Worlds Fair of the year. Mar shall Field, a Chicago merchant, in sured the success of the project with a subscription of S1,O00,000 and the museum took it's name from chief donor. Mir. Field gave subse- Qucnt financial support during his lifetime and in his will left S4,0OO,- GOO for building fund and $+,000,- coo for endowment. The collection had it's nucleus in a great many of the fair sex.
