A \ ISION OF ETERNITY

on a hillside, the water being supplied 

 through what might be called a mural 

 fountain. While there are a few es- 

 tates with perhaps larger and more 

 elaborate pools, yet this one is pecu- 

 liarly attractive since it has been adapt- 

 ed to the irregularity of the location, 

 and since it is placed directly in front 

 of the residence, as shown in the ac- 

 companying illustration. Our readers 

 will also be interested in the general 

 view of the garden. 



The pool was designed by John H. 

 Duncan, Architect, 347 Fifth Avenue, 

 New York City, and was built by Mr. 

 C. W. Luyster, Jr., 35 Nassau Street, 

 New York City. 



Extensive Arctic Fauna. 



The teacher asked the class to write 

 down eleven arctic animals. Johnny 

 [ones wrote his answer before the 

 other children had started, and took 

 his slate to the teacher's desk. She 

 read : 



"Six seals, four polar bears and one 

 walrus." 



Am so glad I sent for the magazine 

 on trial. It is the most interesting and 

 helpful nature magazine I have found.

Like Time's vast dial open to the eye, 



Its jeweled hands revolving round and 



round, 

 Yon Darkened Dome shrouds daylight's azure 



sky. 

 An ebon roof above Earth's spheral ground; 



Like boundless threshold of eternal space 

 Or mighty portal of a life unknown, 



The firmament reveals its starry face 



And countless sun-kings reigning on their 

 throne; 



Like depthless gulf of deathless mystery 

 Where silently the laws of God evolve. 



That sky will shine when human history 

 And human life eternally dissolve; 



And suns shall blaze like beacons when man's 

 home 

 Drifts lifelessly beneath its Darkened 

 Dome.
