RESTORATIONS OF THE PANTHEON OF ROME,
Among the drawings sent from Rome to the recent Ex-
hibition of the Academy of Fine Arts of Paris, there are
several studies of the Pantheon of Rome, one of which
particularly, by Mr. Chedanne, offers a peculiar interest
by reason of the researches to which the artist has devoted
himself upon this celebrated structure. The work is the
result of some discoveries made during the course of a
study undertaken to verify certain assertions of archzeo-
logists.
It appears that Mr. Chedanne had, in the first place,
simply proposed to study the structure of the great dome
of the Pantheen, which is doubly interesting by its anti-
quity and its huge dimensions. Having obtained permis-
sion of the Italian government to unseal a few bricks in
order to study the system of arcades that eased the dome,
he perceived that the bricks employed in the construc-
tion, all marked with the seal of the potter, were of dates
varying from 118 to 128 years after Christ, a fact that
was in flagrant contradiction to the hitherto admitted hy-
pothesis that the Pantheon, as we see it to-day, was con-
structed by Agrippa.
Archeologists, in order to defend this idea, rely upon
a description by Pliny. Now, Pliny died in the year 79
after Christ. This description, so often cited, could,
then, only be that of a structure anterior to the one in
the presence of which the artist found himself.
Continuing his researches, Mr. Chedanne had the pave-
ment pierced that covers the floor of the structure, and,
at two meters beneath, found another and more ancient
pavement, Some researches made ina sewer that passes
near the foundations of the Pantheon led to the discovery
of a wall far beneath the steps of the present peristyle.
This wall, with courses particularly well adjusted,
seemed to Mr. Chedanne to belong to the glorious period
of the age of Augusta. Further researches led to the
discovery that it was covered in places with a facing of
marble, separated from the stone wall by a chemise of
tufa.,
The artist had been particularly struck by the unusual
proportions of the columns of the peristyle, which, as
well known, are eight in number. As a sequel to re-
searches, studies, and comparisons, he became convinced
that such proportions would have been nothing extraor-
dinary if, instead of eight columns, the peristyle had had
ten. Making researches in this direction, he discover the
pedestals of the two missing columns.
Certain junctions, particularly those of the corner capi
tals, had likewise struck him by their coarseness, which
contrasted singularly with the delicacy of their sculpture.
Had there been used, then, for the construction

ancient Pantheon whose foundations and pavement Mr.
Chedanne had just discovered? A new observation came
to support this hypothesis. A striking contrast existed

~ Peruvian Ruins.
A magnificent work on the curious ruins of Tiahuanaco,
on the high plateau of Peru, has been published by Wis-
leott, at Breslau. It is by Stiibel, who, with Reiss, pub-
lished the great work on the Necropolis of Ancon, assisted
by the antiquarian Uhle. It is a huge folio in two parts,
the first containing maps, colored prints, and forty-two
photographic plates ;the second, the greater part of the
text. Like former investigators, Herr Stiibel thinks that
a race of high civilization undertook to erect a religious
edifice on these high, arid plains, but were forced to stop
before the buildings were finished. The eminence at Ak-
Kapana was a natural one, not an artificial mound.
Stones weighing 100 and 150 tons were brought from great
distances across several inlets of Lake Titicaca. The
aay
remains are absolutely unique, and are megalithic, like
Stonehenge, in England, but represent a higher form, in
which true architecture must be admitted. Stiibel be-
lieves that the carved doorways and columns show that the
style of architecture was developed in a wooded region,
and abruptly transferred to stone on the plateau, where
no trees are to be had. The great question, whence the
people with a style of wooden architecture came, is con-
sidered at length, and the opinion is expressed that they
were the Aymaras, elder brothers of the Quechuas, or
Peruvians proper, of whom the Incas were the rulers.
They are the true aboriginal holders of the Titicaca
om basin, and they may bave come from wooded lands to the
PLAN OF THE PANTHEON OF ROME. south. The Quechuas overcame the Aymaras before the
Spaniards arrived, and it is supposed that Ak-Kapana

professional men, the point being that, when astudent
buys a set of instruments whose price is well within his
reach, he should feel that he is buying a set which will

architects, who have endeavored to produce such a cement
plaster, but without success. <A perfect plaster, suchas
was used by the Roman builders, consists of hydrated
double silicates and aluminates of calcium and iron, upon
which neither water, heat nor frost has any action. A
serious drawback to the manufacture of such a compound
on a practical and economic basis has been the difficulty
of reducing aluminum, and the consequent high price of
the metal as well as the impossibility of substituting any ;
other substance for it. Aluminum is of especial valuc as
a cement basis: First. On account of its hardness, which
is illustrated in ruby, sapphire, topaz and garnet, all of
which are silicates of aluminum. Second. Its high re-
sistance to oxidation.
A year ago Kansas gave to the world a geological
wonder in the shape of a truly ideal natural cement, now
well known as aluminite. A sample of this earthy de-
posit, taken from a vast bed located in Dickinson County,
was sent to me for analysis, December, 1892. I was sur-

JOHN MILTON’S COTTAGE,
Chalfont St. Giles is only a small village in Bucking-
hamshire with a little over a thousand inhabitants—none
of them known to fame; but to millions of the English-
speaking race, on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, itis a
sacred spot. A cottage in the village itself and a small

At what was one time the further end of the village
stands Milton’s cottage. It is the only one of the numer-
ous residences of the poet which remains—the rest have
disappeared. We give two views of it—one as it now
appears and the other from an engraving dated 1795.
Here the poet may have put the finishing touches to his
‘Paradise Lost ;” here certainly he meditated his ‘‘ Para-
dise Regained,” and almost as certainly wrote part if not
the whole of it. Milton, the cottage, ‘‘ Paradise Lost”
and “Paradise Regained” become associated with

the question you put to me at Chalfont, which before I had few books. The room on the opposite side of the door-
way is much larger, and is used asa livingroom, The
house contained four sitting rooms and five bedrooms—
some of these latter small enough to be more accurately
described as closets. The garden contains some very nice
fruit trees, and a plum tree has been trained over the
front. The flowers are all common garden varieties—
sunflowers, dahlias, lavenders, etc. In 1887 the cottage
and grounds were purchased by subscription, and vested
in trustees, for preservation and exhibition.
Leaving the cottage and following the main road, a sign
post points the way to Jordans, down the road on the left
hand. It is simply an old-fashioned plain brick meeting
| house, lying a little off the roadside on the left hand, and
‘in front of it a burying ground, recognizable as such
because of a few grave mounds and several small head-
stones. The meeting house was erected in the reign of
James II, Among the restored graves is that of Thomas
| Ellwood, who died in 1713, and that: of a much greater
man, William Penn, who was interred here in the
summer of 1718.
He belonged to an old family, and was the son of an
English admiral. He was partly educated at Oxford, but
was expelled from the university because, under the influ-
ence of a Quaker preacher, he refused to wear the college
cap and gown; then he was sent by his father to France,
where he continued his studies for two years, was pre-
sented at the French court, and returned to Engiand, and

THE STEEL CLAD BATH TUB.
In house construction more than in almost anything
else, the article cheapest at first cost is very seidom
best. Itis the subsequent repairs which determine the
true cost. A doilar or two saved in the first outlay is a
dollar saved very injudiciously, if each year entails a
repair account that becomes increasingly heavy. This
sort of false economy is remarkably prevalent, particu-
larly in constructions handed over without any guar-
antee whatever to contractor or mechanic who first
quotes a satisfactory price. To guard yourself against
this, you must stipulate for a specific article. In arrang-
ing for your bath tubs, galvanized iron or copper range
boilers, specify the steel clad baths, and the American
galvanized iron and copper range boilers, and see that

you get them, and then you will get an undeniably good
article. The steel clad bath is thoroughly made of metal,
steel on the outside, and planished copper within, the only
wood about it being the polished hardwood rim. It is
very strong, will not warp or shrink, and is absolutely
rustproof. It is mounted on four ornamental iron feet,
with the exterior susceptible of being handsomely deco-
rated, and set up open and free from all encasement; in
this way the tub presenting as handsome an appearance
as the best made, and at a very much less cost. The
manufacturers of this bath tub are the Steel Clad Bath

New York, for H. R. Mailory, Esq., of Portchester, N. Y.
The house comprises a rose house, 29 x 17, lean-to, and a
general plant house, 20 x22, full span, both roofs being
curvilinear. The heating is effected by Weathered’s Hot
Water system, using one of their No. 5 Double Dome
heaters, which is located in cellar under the stable. The
superstructure is of iron, the rafters being of 4x14 inch
| flat wrought iron, curved to shape of roof by hydraulic
pressure, and are in one piece from ridge to sill plate.
The ridge is of flat wrought iron—a great improvement
over the wooden ridge frequently seen in so-called iron
framed greenhouses. The purlins are of 134 x 134
inch Liron. The whole superstructure is solidly
bolted down to the sill plate, which is of heavy
cast iron, sloped so as to readily shed water, and
firmly embedded in Portland cement on top of
the brick walls. The woodwork is all of best
