phere and bringing back with them the
soul spirit so wonderfully expressed in

mechanical ingenuity and architectural

national style which is now manifesting
itself This touch of nationalisnl, which
Is yearly becoming more evident in our
structural creations, Is nowhere more
apparent than In the new Cunard Build

Broadway. designed by Benjamin Wis
tar Morris, with the aid of Carrere &
Hastings, who acted as consulting archi-
tects. Mr.. Norris has met his problem
fairly and solved 1t distinctively. The
building Is decidedly American. At the
same time there is in its texture that
splendid Influence of the Old World
which has melted, as 1t were. into the
virile genius of this young master, whose
work In this instance compares favor
ably with the great monuments OF the
Rena issance.
In q measure, Mr.. Morris's successful
handling Of the project was due to his
Foresight in gathering about him the
splendid painters comprising the alumni
Of the American Academy under the
leadership cf Ezra Winter. Nor must
too small a measure of Importance be
attached to the fact that Mr.. Norris
followed the old custom of the Renais-

with the sculptors. Under this policy

thetically with the other artists.

are Just beginning to evolve national
style in architecture with this same
Italian influence that affected the ma
tions of Europe four hundred years ago.
Heretofore our nearest approach to a
national style was the Colonial, which.
coming from England, shows the influ-
ence of the Georgian period. But Colo
nial can hardly be called a-fine n1onu-
mental or national style. 1t is hardly
adaptable to our vast structures. 1t is
rather effeminate and weak In its char
acter and Is adaptable only for small
structures and homes.

Ancient Building Methods.

Some interesting facts concerning an
cient building methods are brought to
light among the discoveries made by DR.
c. S. Fisher of the University of Penn
sylvania who has just completed six
years research work at the head of
archaeological expeditions into Egypt.
According to DR.. Fisher 5000 years
before Christ Egyptians were working
an elaborate quarry at FL Amarna,
eleven miles from the Nile and 200 miles
from Memphis. From this quarry they
transported blocks Of alabaster, each
many tons in weight, TO Memphis in the
following manner: They built road
much as we would build II now from
the quarry to the river bank. with a
smooth surface Of pounded stone. The
blocks were quarried by means OF
wooden wedges driven IN at intervals
along the cleavage line. When soaked
with water the wedges expanded sand
split off the stone which was then
shaped and dressed with chisels and
drills Of very hard bronze. The blocks
were mounted on sleds and dragged by
gangs OF slaves the eleven miles to the
river, the roads being watered or oiled

runners, as they had no wheels. Down
the river the blocks were floated on

Ruskin has said that architecture is
frozen music. He might have added that
It was the greatest of all arts. inasmuch
as it expressed with the greatest dig
nifty the soul and spirit of people.
The Italian Renaissance produced the
greatest geniuses in architecture. There
were Brunelleschi, Michael Angelo, Pc
ruzzi. Palladio. Vignola and others.
Their influence was felt in all the differ
ent countries of the world, each country
adapting the style to it's conditions and
producing national style of its own.
This was most successfully done In
France and Spain, where great monu
ments with the italian influence are
famous. In England and Germany the
Renaissance was not so successful. for
in those countries the adaptations are
lacking in purity Of style as well as In
grace and proportion.
