Indiana Building. 



ART PALACE BUILDING. 



The Art Palace of the Louisiana Pur- 

 chase Exposition, now well on the way to- 

 ward completion, differs in one important 

 essential from the art buildings at Chicago 

 and those at Paris. All the exhibits will 

 be installed upon one floor — there will be 

 no upstair galleries, no long staircase to 

 ascend and descend. The authorities of 

 the department demanded the observation 

 of four conditions in the planning of the 

 Art Palace. First, that the galleries should 

 be adequately lighted ; second, that they 

 should be well ventilated : third, that the 

 buildings should be so arranged as to afford 

 the free circulation of large numbers of 

 visitors without danger of congestion, and, 

 fourth, that the structure should be fire- 

 proof. It is sincerely hoped that the archi- 

 tects to whom the task of designing the 

 buildings was entrusted will accomplish 

 the desired results. 



INDIANA BUILDINGS. 



Indiana's state pavilion at the World's 

 Fair will be an up-to-date club building. 

 The architecture will be of the French 

 rennaisance. Marshall S. Mahurin, of 

 Fort Wayne, Ind., is the architect. The 

 building will occupy a splendid position in 

 the state group, facing the north, and 

 fronting on two of the main avenues. Ar- 

 kansas' site is across the avenue on the 

 north and Iowa's building, already up, is 

 on the east. Rhode Island's building will 

 be immediately west. The outside dimen- 

 sions of the Indiana building are 100 by 

 135 feet. It will stand on a rise of ground, 

 with terraces reaching down to the street 

 level. 



One thousand cash subscribers have been 

 added to our list during the past sixty 

 days. This will give our friends an idea 

 of the interest taken in ARBORICULTURE. 

 These came from New South Wales, New 

 Zealand, Brazil, Mexico, and various por- 

 tions of the world, besides each of the 

 United States.
