experiments, and appliances modern in every respect. The fioors here, as well as over the rest of the building, are -thoroughly fire-proof. In the halls they are solid concrete, in the rooms they are made of a several inch layer of concrete and cinders covered with hardwood. The stairways are of iron, with cork pads on every step. The second floor is devoted to the department of Biology. The elementary laboratory occupies the entire east end. Tables are arranged by the windows in such a way that the maximum amount of light can be secured. On the south are two conservatories of concrete, having windows with copper frames. These conservatories are intended primarily for growing various kinds of plants, but with a nice seat or two which may easily be supplied, they can readily be transformed into apartments for other useful purposes. The lecture room is similar in size and arrangement to the one downstairsg adjoining it is the professor's office. The laboratory for advanced work occupies the west end, while on the north is a spacious, well lighted reading room. On the ceilings may be noticed a number of large, handsome beams which furnish a most artistic addition to the finish. Analysis proves them to be as useful as they are ornamental. While they appear to be solid, they are in reality hollow. In them are the drain pipes from the chemical laboratories above, and if anything goes wrong with these, the beams can be taken apart and the point of difhculty made readily accessible. On the third fioor is the Chemistry department. The elementary laboratory is on the east, and is equipped with six desks and seven hoods. The hoods are located in such a manner as to fall at the end of each desk, they are large, and are ventilated by suction furnished by fans in the attic. Supply shelves will be convenient to all at work. West of this on the south is a workshop and general storage room, adjoining is the supply room of which a student will be in charge constantly to give out supplies. Next to this is the lecture room, seating prac- tically a hundred. The lecture desk extends clear across the room, but by a pecu- liarly ingenious arrangement of blackboards only a portion of it need be exposed to view. On the west is the advanced laboratory. Here, as in the elementary lab- oratory, all the desks have at hand electrical connections, hot, cold, and distilled water, hydrogen sulphide, compressed air and suction.- Adjoining this room is one for delicate weighing, equipped with the very finest of balances. Next to this, on the north, is a special private laboratory and dark room. The remaining north room is for the office, reading room and library. The attic is in some respects the most interesting floor, for it contains the menagerie, museum, and gas factory. The menagerie is a room for animals be- longing to the department of Biology. There will be cases for canines, felines and other 'lines. In the center is a large concrete tank for amphibians. Great care has been used in constructing this, and the croakers can repose in the aqua pura or sit in solemn state on concrete firma, as their fancy dictates. The exact reason for putting the menagerie in such a remote place is not understood, but it was probably to obviate any possible disturbance to the occupants of Wliiting Hall, through the croaking of frogs during the week of final examinations. The museum will be found in the large central room, which is finely lighted and well adapted to such a purpose. The gas factory is a hydrogen sulphide generator, from which that odoriferous gas is conveyed in rubber pipes to the desks in the chemical labora- tory. The elevator shaft of course ends on this floor, and arrangements have been made whereby it can be used in various experiments by the Physics department. If the visitor is weary at this point, he can by means of it deposit himself on the first fioor and thus complete his tour in a dignified manner. - Such are the general features evident at this time. The structure is handsome on the outside, it is handsome on the inside. Every part is thoroughly modern and up-to-date. Add to this an arrangement of apparatus and facilities suchtas only the three science heads now at Knox are capable of making, together with their efficient instruction, and Knox has a center where science work will be highly attractive, and where the highest results will be attained in the years to come. 11
