Moonlight Effect in Illumination.

The moonlight effect" in the ex-
terror illumination of buildings is a new
idea which has been put into effect for
the first time in bringing out the archi-.
tectual lines of the new Museum OF
Fine Arts at Cleveland, Ohio. The
structure is located on the shore OF
Wade Park Lake, fianked by avenues
of stately elm trees and attractive
planting, the museum building with its
still reflection on the lake presents: an
effective picture in the soft light which,
according to j. W. Gosling Of the Gen
eraI Electric Co., who designed the
lighting. would not be possible with or
binary commercial floodlighting. The
moonlight effect is just the proper IN.
tensity to harmonic with the refined
architecture of the museum and lends
quiet repose and dignity. The light IN
tensity is but little brighter than the
light from a bright full moon, or about
the Equivalent of a clear moonlight as
seen in the rare atmosphere OF the
Southwest.
