The reason of Ihil ii lo do away with all idea of altitude. Xhire will be lizteen streets in the temple. They will be named after men who have been prominent in Masonry. Tbe foundation will be of Heel rails. Eaoh floor will be like a span of a oautalever bridge. They will be drawn logeiher with red-hot belli, so that there oan absolutely be no vibration.

Bpeoimeni at nn work may be aaan in many of tba principal galleries in Europe, and hi* painting! are everywhere highly prized. He waa born on the 18th of November, 1785, and il is laid that he oonld draw before be oonld read, and paint before be could spell. At the age of 14 be began tba study of painting at the Trustees' Aoademy in Edinborg. He applied himself with extraordinary patience and perseverance to bii art, haunting the fields, village*, fain, and market- placet, and transferring whatever elruok hii fancy into hit ketch-book. The r u t of this labor aoon became apparent, ai.d b> the time he wai 19 ytare of an hi wa* a por- trait aad gt-nre painter of eitabliibed reputation inSootlatid. Tbe first important picture which be n^cuted was " Pitleoeie Fair," in which he introduced about 140 figure*, including manv portrait* of bii neighbors and family. He *oid il for about 91'25 hardly an adequate return for the immense amount of work be had put into ii. It may be, however, that il waa in- trinsically worth no more, though Wilkia in bii mature r y*ri laid that ii contained more subject and eotorlainm* nt than any other three picture* he ha.' produced Ha continued hi* laborion* career to the end, being a* indefatigable ai Reynold* or Dora.
