was matter for due consideration, it was made in sections and cemented together in the 

 Museum. Its external dimensions are, 10.5 feet in length, 7 feet in height, and 2 feet 

 in depth. Ordinarily it stands against the wall quite out of the way, but at the left-hand 

 front corner is a pivot firmly planted in the masonry of the floor on which the whole 

 case readily turns supported on wheels eight inches from the floor; the wheel nearest the 

 pivot turns on its own pivot, and all the wheels are rimmed with a suitable substance

to avoid noise or floor disfigurement. The end door has its inner edge beveled and fits 

 into a similar bed covered with poisoned felt; the lock is from Jenks, Middleborough, 

 Mass., bolting top and bottom, and for greater security the bolt is held by an additional 

 Yale lock. Within the end door are six wooden frames (covered on both sides with 

 unbleached cotton cloth), which are supported by grooves top and bottom, and are readily 

 withdrawn and when out are supported by a movable trestle. To these frames on both 

 sides are attached by a number of points the cloaks spread to their full extent, but sup- 

 ported in so many places, in all readily detachable, that the least possible strain is 

 brought upon the fabric. These frames with the ahuula are well shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
