o Years for Architecturul Ideas.

would have Stunned the stupendous assign
ment of providing some 261 900 carved and
nodded stones weighing from 800 to 500 pounds
apiece as the ribs and skeleton, foundations
and superstructures for this ecclesiastical mas
terpece. The efficient science of modern con-
struction, however, accepted the contract with
avidity.
Some time after the cathedral began to hatch
into actuaIity from the original righteousness of
plans and blueprints, the largest stone cutting
plant In the environs of Washington came into
being near the borders of Bethesda. Thousands
of motorists who have rolled along the winding
drives of Kenwood or who have reviewed the
pastoral beauty of the countryside from the
heights of Somerset have noticed that indus
trial plant set down beside branch railroad
sidings Few know that it is an establishment
constructed as subsidiary to the cathedral
building campaign. 1t is the efficient and YER
Satile Stone-cutting plant in which raw lime
stone rock from the bowels of Indiana's rolling
hills are beautified INTELLECTUALLY and prepared
for unitarian and decorative use in the NAM
moth church.
Even as this article was being written, the
Washington Cathedral authorities were signing
d new rock contract It STIMULATES the provision
of the first $4,000 cubic feet of carved and
nodded limestone for the building of another
100000 unit in the cathedral The present
indications are that this new division of the
great temple will not be completed before mid
Winter in 1882. It is hoped to have it ready for
q wonderful ceremonial celebration OF the 20Oths
anniversary of the birth of George Washington !:
The marked efficiency of the Stone-cutting'
plant Is illustrated by the fact that it produces
as much rock material for Gothic construction
In three weeks as o similar crew Of master
masons could cut by hand In one year. Elec-

trict-a magnificent religious edifce which is
charming throwback, SO to say, to the archi-
tectural projections and the craftsmanship arts
Of the fourteenth century. .....-
This hkening of the Washington Cathedral
which is growing gradually into a colossal ma
tional shrine to that famous biblical temple of
Solomon is appropriate in more respects than
one. For the gargantuan stones used in the
construction of that ancient edifice were pre-
pared for use by skilled workmen far from the
actual site of the building, even as the modern
materials now being fabricated into the WASH
ington Cathedral are cut, Clipped, carved and
Chfsled several miles from Mount st. Alban.
Solomons wisdom, epochal though it was for
that day and age, was not adequate to pro-
ducer the mechanical titans and electrified
giants now yoked as the building aides of mod
ernity. What the masons of Solomon's era
achieved by the might of muscle and the har-,
messed strength of ponderous dumb beasts, pres
ent-day artisans duplicate by merely opening
gasoline throttles or turning electrical switches
Modern cathedral builders accomplish in years
what their predecessors effected in decades or
centuries Modern machinery and efficient
methods OF construction speed cathedral build
ing in ways which would have appeared mirac-
ulous to the ancients.
The idea of cathedral in the National CAP
ital originated more than a century ago with
George Washington who, during the infancy of
the new republic, recommended the erection of
an appropriate church for national purposes
close to the Federal seat of government Mai.
Charles LEnfant Endorsed the Washington idea
and in the original plans for the American Cap
1tal mention was made of the need for such a
structure. From then until 1891. the scheme

Which, in brief, is the official "how come" of
the outstanding Constitutional campaign now
in progress in the latitude of the Massachu-
sets avenue highlands. Venerable building
methods have been set to new music in en-
riching the beauty and creating unusual spirit
ual expressions in this twentieth century tenn
pie which is rising in glory to crown Mount st.
Alban. Although designed and built during
the current age of commercialism and inven-
ton, the Washington Cathedral rich in spiritual
charm, turns back times curtain and reveals
architectural attractions which excel those of
the notable medieval churches built during the
period when the art of building design was re-
puted to be in finest flower
An enduring record in constitutional excel
lenceS is being written in solid limestone rock
imported from Indiana for the building of the
Washington Cathedral. This transformation of
erstwhtle subterranean material into arches,
facades, buttresses and decorative symbolcal
ornaments which will withstand the challenges
OF wind and weather and will inspire increased
religious fervor in the centuries to come is y
dramatic performance of measurable popular
appeal. Mythical Hercules, unquestionably,

was as slow and laborious as any listed ON in%

Every stone-ba it small or large-is an object
of utility in Gothic architecture. That is, in
addition to being decorative, even the most
ornate rocks are utilitarian. To the average
layman, the decorations atop some of the butt
tress tips at the new cathedral might appear
superf1uous Notwithstanding, they really are
essential, for in addition to adding the touch
Of artistry, they also provide enough ballast to
prevent the buttresses from bullying outward
Each stone is subjected to four drafting and Ave
mechanical processes in preparing it for ulti-
mate repose in the cathedral walls.
THERE are five different types of stone enn-
ployed in the building of this national
shrine. OF these 100000 are catalogued by the
architects as plain stones which are valued at
$40 apiece. Seventy-nine thousand others are
nodded stone which are each worth $50. Thirty
thousand nine hundred are classified as carved
stones which are listed at 500 apiece, while
5000 sculptured stones are appraised at $500
each. These values have been estimated and
published for the benefit of those organizations
and individuals who are interested in contribut-,
ing stones for the cathedral. Many have pur-
sued this intriguing form of contribution. So-
ciai fraternal and religious organizations, in
particular have purchased and donated various
types of stones for that purpose

In the meetings of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science attention was
paid to that fascinatngly elusive subject the
age of the world Mr.. Berkey of Columbia re-
ported the discovery of tools used by human
beings in the Cobb region of Asia indicating
an age of 10000 to 100000 years. Fossil re-
mains go back to an abrupt break" about a mill
lion years ago Professor Lane Of Tufts rea-
soning from the proportion of salt in the sea
and from geological evidence, said that those
physicists who estimate the age of the world
at 900,0OOO 600 years are nearer the truth than
those who set it's age at 500 900, 600 years. Ac-
cording to these estimates, taken together, a
dead and waiting world world without animal
life existed a thousand years for every single
year since the development upon it of the lowest
forms of animal life.
And far in back of both estimates goes the
age of the world matter merely, without re-
gard to form. If matter is indestructible, though
protean in form change, then the actual matter
of which the earth is made have been in
existence an infnity of time to match the infnty
of space that surrounds it. And the future
existence of our earth matter in some form, in
some phase of activity, some orbit of motion,
must be as ncalculable. Is it any wonder that
great scientists are of humble mind in the
presence of the much they cannot know? In
tensive study Of astronomy upon basis of
chemistry and geology may be commended as a
corrective for too heavy burdens of self-esteem.

short enough ranged beside the eternities.

that never was party better buttressed with able

beginning with the overthrow of the Republican

Democracy was forced into political retirement

Life's Little Ironies.
(Toronto Globe. J

When Robert Burns lay on his death-bed in
Dumfres he is said to have declared to his wife:
Il will be better known hundred years from
now, Jean, than i today More prophetic
words uttered. The poet who died
tormented with a debt of $50 hanging him
that he was unable to meet is known everywhere
today, while the sale of copy of early
edition of his poems brings enough money to
have kept Burns in affluence all his life. 1t is
worth while recalling these things in view of
the despatch from New York which states that a
copy of Burns poems, second-edition volume,
was sold the other day to DR.. A. S. w. Rosen-
bach, the millionaire rare-book collector for $780,,
500 like this would have represented
la tremendous fortune in 1895, when the poet
died The most Burns realized from the
sale of his books $500, and today copy
lof those same editions brings ten times that
amount Such is the irony of fate Jean Armour

debt. But the world knows the words were
