THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SUNDAY* MORNING, OCTOBER "' 27, 1895...-TWENTY-FOUR PAGES, cade by pilasters of the same propor- tion, extending through the first and second stories. The cornices are of (Pimple classic design and the roof lint*, as a whole, is f res from breaks or In- terruptions. There Is an entrance through each of the four ---ides, and corridors extend through the building in each direction. At the intersection of the corridor is the rotunda, seventy feet in diameter. The house and the senate and the supreme court rooms are on the second floor. The representatives" hall is in the north wing and tlie senate on the west, so they will occupy the same position, relatively, that they do In the present building. The supreme court room Is located on the east side of the building and so arranged as to be retired from the remainder of the offices. The library is adjacent to the court room and oc- cupies part of the third as well as the second story. Connected with the house and senate chambers ara ample committee rooms, toilet and retiring rooms, and all con- veniences. The chambers of the judges of the -supreme court are on the south side, and, ln fact, the aim has been to lo- cate all the more important offices, and those which are most frequented on that side of the building. The governor's rooms are in the southwest corner, the same position they occupy in the present building. The offices of the attorney general ad- join them. Across the corridor the principal officers of the state will have rooms on the first floor, conveniently arranged, according to their relation to each other. The state historical society is given * the basement of the east wing for the library and museum. The basement floor is on the level with the surround- - Ing rounds. The rooms will be very large, airy and well lighted, and will be well supplied with vaults of ample proportions. The corridors on the interior of the building will be lighted from above, and it is so arranged that every office in the balding will be well lighted. Clarence H. Johnston presents a de- sign that strikes the observer very fa- vorably. It seems capable, too, of standing close criticism. Granite is the material the architect had in mind, and the plan is drawn largely on lines ot Greek precedent. The main front con- sists of a central mass, curtain walls and end pavilions. The central mass forms the principal entrance to the building, on the south, and a broad flight of steps leads to the portico, over which, and forming the principal architectural feature, is a great col- onnade of columns surmounted by a pediment embellished with statuary." The triangular part of the pediment is left plain. The dome stands behind the pediment, and this is brought well forward, forming a fitting crown to the front. The end pavilions are treated in a manner recalling the effect of the central mass. The curtain wall con- necting the central and end masses is ornamented with three-quarter en- gaged columns, similar in style to the end pavilions. The design is so ar- ranged that statuary may be used or omitted without injury to the effect, and may be added at any time. The other fronts of the building repeat the features of the main front. The general plan of the building is in the form of a Latin cross, the short arm being at the front and the dome at the intersection. The supreme court room is located on the south front; the justices' chambers connecting with it at one end by means of a private cor- ridor, and the clerk's office at the other end. The state library is at the east end of the building adjacent to the justices' chambers. The senate is lo- cated at the west end and the house of representatives' at the north end of the building. The postoffice, telegraph office and committee rooms are all con- veniently arranged. The corridors for communication are of normal width, but as the heads of the stairways and at the entrances to the senate and house they are widened. The committee rooms are placed on the third floor, connected with the legis- lative floor with stairways and eleva- tors. Surplus rooms are planned for the third floor. The executive offices are all on the first floor, and so planned that offices where business demands it are connected; for instance, the audi- tor's private office Is located between the auditing department proper and th? land department. With reference to light, the building is so arranged that half the hall space is lighted from the dome and barrel vault skylights over the stairways. The basement on the north side is de- voted to the historical society, allowing •them 18,000 square feet of floor space, including storage space. The south front is planned for state offices with spaces under the main halls for storage and archive vaults. The elevator and ventilating plant machinery is placed under the rotunda. AMERICAN AVAR SHIPS BEST. Such Im the Opinion of a French Naval Officer. New York World. The French minister of marine has just given an order for the construc- tion of two large "commerce destroy- ers," whose speed shall be at least twenty-three knots per hour. Among existing French war ships the highest speed attainable by any vessel is from nineteen to twenty knots, and the re- cent action of the government has been brought about largely by the example fict by tha United States in naval con- struction. A distinguished French naval officer In a recent interview published in one of the Paris papers, gave some inter- esting views on the subject. "Speed in a war vessel," he said, "is now of as great importance as In the mer- chant marine. It is easy to under- stand that a country possessing a more numerous and heavy armed fleet may have its ports bombarded by a feebler but more rapid fleet, which can escape at the moment when a struggle with more powerful vessels becomes Imminent. ,-\u25a0'-' •**•'" "7>Z.. "Speed has come to be a necessity among ships of war, especially when It concerns cruisers— the cavalry of the sea-destined to destroy an enemy's commerce, and it is high time that France should give this matter atten- tion. We are amply prepared for a SSi,?^6^ Zl\. Germany*but where fcould we be if it came to contesting tor the supremacy of the sea with En- gland? "England is fortunate in her geo- graphical position, which makes it un- necessary for her to maintain a large armed force at home, enabling her to devote to.naval construction such vast sums as would ruin any of the conti- nental powers. That country has ad- hered to the principle laid down by one of her statesmen that she should al- ways have a war fleet as large at least as that of any other two countries combined. By the superior weight of her armament on the sea she could crush any other power when It came to actual conflict, but what she fears above all else are the ravages which may be committed upon the ocean by rapid cruisers sweeping down upon her merchant marine and preventing all traffic, for the day that England's commerce Is destroyed her material ex- istence will be compromised and sh-7 will be stricken to the heart.

'The greater number of decorated flowers are either those which are fad- ing and 'off color,' or those which usually have no scent at all. In the case of the former the flowers are dally dipped In a weak solution of sal ammoniac, which,, for a time, * revives tnem in the most marvelous way. But the chief doctoring is with the flowers which, as a rule, have little or no scent. First of all these are put Into a metal box with ice, and then, by a very simple process, they are subjected- 5 to a continuous current of carbonto acid charged with perfumes of the re- quired variety. There is an Immense amount of profit made by scenting those violets which in the order of na- ture have no perfume. "In certain districts prodigious quan- tities of violets having no scent are to be found, while the naturally odorous ones are quite rare by. comparison. But in first-class florists' places no unscented ones are sold, for an alco- holic solution, fixed by means of gly- cerin. is used in the case of the scent- less ones we receive. It is the same with other flowers, except that some other appropriate scent is used instead of the violet, of course." ItABBIT WHIPS TWO HAWKS. ItABBIT WHIPS TWO HAWKS. Bunny Mukew a Heroic Fleht to Save Its Little Cottontails*. Cincinnati Enquirer. History has always reported the rab- bit as a very meek and timid animal, possessed of no combative qualities and of an exceedingly peaceful nature. But this character of the long-eared, short- tailed "bunny," like many other the- ories of the historian, has not been sus- tained by an incident witnessed re- cently by Messrs. Charley Hayes.Char- ley Hunter and Ed Glardon in Logan township. The attention of the parties was attracted to a couple of hawks that were flying about a clump of bushes and manifesting considerable excitement. Carefully approaching to observe the cause of the strange con- duct of the hawks, the men found them engaged in a furious battle with full- grown rabbit. The birds were uttering shrill screams amd darting in their pc- culiar manner down upon the object of their wrath, attacking it with beak and talons. ' The. rabbit would rear upon its hind legs and resist the attack of its feath- ered foes with its fore feet in true pugi- listic style, at the same time giving vent to plaintive and terrific cries. For some moments the singular contest continued: then the rabbit, leaping in the air as the hawk descended towards it. struck the bird with its body and paws so violently as to knock its flying foe to the ground, and leave it with a broken or dislocated wing, helplessly fluttering among the bushes. The spec- tators then approached and seized the crippled hawk, while its companion took flight The brave rabbit hurried off to a safer retreat, and then the parties discovered a nest with four helpless young rabbits in it, that dis- closed the cause of the "cottontail's" valor. The hawks had attempted to destroy its young, and maternal in- stinct had implanted, courage where * cowardice was wont to reign, and the most timid of animals had become the most valiant in defense of its offspring,. and had vanquished a cruel and most powerful enemy. The crippled hawk was killed by the men, but the heroic rabbit was not molested, nor its nest disturbed, and withdrawing some distance away the. parties saw the anxious mother hasten back to the young her valor had pre- served, and manifested the greatest delight at their deliverance from fowl and man. 7. -.;.-. . .
