Of all the stones we examined, we can 
only call the artificial rubies a direct 
success; but the imitation of this latter 
species of precious stones is no new in¬ 
vention. We therefore declare that 
there is nothing new or sensational in the 
claimed invention.” — The Western

this work in an Architect’s library; and 
the T Square Club with considerable 
pride has announced the intention to 
continue its publication. 
The Committee which has been ap¬ 
pointed by the Club to carry on this 
work consists of Adin B. Lacey, Editor; 
Alexander M. Adams, Treasurer; and 
Virgil L. Johnson, Custodian of Draw-

The character of the work will be the 
same as last year, the title fully in¬ 
dicating its contents.

clude for this year the Porto Rican 
Capitol; New York State Prison; Y. 
M. C. A., Pittsburgh; and the Municipal 
Office Building of the city of New 
York. 
The successful presentation of the 
initial issue of this work was highly 
commended both by the practicing 
architect and the student.

an application to packing papers, to tubs 
and other wooden vessels. They have 
two kinds of persimmons. One be¬
