Washington.--One Of the most strikingly1 beautiful buildings In Washington Is the new United States Supreme court building. Its exterior is fabricated from white marble, while its in terior is enhanced with columns and panels of the same stone but richly colored. "Among the mpst ornamental of all building stones, marble has been valued by architects from earliest times," says the National Geographic society/ "White drums of marble from Mt. Pehtelicus reared toward, the clear blue sky of Athens, the graceful temples on ...the' Acropolis. Domed Byzantine structures and Roman buildings were floored with mosaics of varl-colored marbles, veined and mottled. Visitors to the Pahtheon may tread on a marble floor polished by the pacings of august Romans bvef 1,800 years ago. Favored.by Sculptor*^-, "Not only lias marble been a popular building, stone, but it Is the favorite among sculptors. From it Phidias, Praxiteles, Canova. and many other artists carved their Masterpieces. Carrara, in northwestern Italy, which supplied Michelangelo with marble for his famous statue of David, still supplies -modern sculptors with some of their finest working material. In Carrara, a city of quarrymen and marble cutting factories, even the humblest homes have white marble lintels and steps. "The most beautiful foreign marbles come from Italy, the French Pyrenees, and Belgium. In the United States, marbles underlie most, of the eastern mountains from Vermont to Georgia, and part of the Rocky mountains. Vermont supplies 60 per cent of the amount quarried In this country. ' . -' • "Marble Is merely ah altered form Of limestone, transformed by heat and strong pressure. Limestone is much softer than marble. limestone Is found in many colors ranging from pink and red, through yellow to green and blue. From quarries in Indiana and KentueJcy comes the variety best known In the United States. ' * "Although limeptoirii Is durable; it deteriorates under acids In the air and rain, especially under the sulphuric acid contaminating the air of cities. How waters containing chemicals affect the stone Is dramatically shown In Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, where subterranean streams have eaten away the beds of limestone, hollowing out vast underground caverns. » Granite Is Valuable. "Granite, igneous rock that^^ii^ cooled, Is a building stone valued for its hardness, strength, and durability. Unlike limestone, It is little affected by chemicals In the air and rain, but abrupt changes in temperature frequently cause it to crack. In regions where the temperature drops 80 degrees In a day, granite has been known to shatter into boulders, gravel, and sand. "Because It is so hard, the cost of ^cutting and polishing granite once prohibited Its use except in a roughly dressed state. But now that less expensive methods have been discovered, It is one of the most popular building stones. ' "Porphyry, another Igneous rock, usually a beautiful red In color, was prized by the Romans, but is little employed by modern architects, because of the difficulty and expense in cutting and polishing It. "New York city's famous "brownstone fronts' are made of sandstone, a popular building stone composed of grains of sand held together by a cementing material. "The new air-conditioned home of the National Geographic -society contains stones from many states and foreign countries. Its front steps are of pink and gray North Carolina granite. Limestone blocks and columns of the facade came from Bedford, Ind., and green marble spandrels from the French Alps. "In the foyer gleam reddish-brown pillars and pilasters of polished Rojo Alicante marble from Spain. Walls are of lustrous Italian Bottlcino marble, a rich cream color, above a oase of Belgian black marble. Brown Sienna and gray Roman travertine form a large eigbt-polnted Star In the floor." , There Is a deTigfit In geftlng aiding on the bare necessities if life if one is living in a log cabin In the wilderness for fun.
