The materials of construction pro- vided in the specifications are stone granite, Mexican onyx, black and white i marble, aluminum, copper, steel, iron and glass. The structure will be divided into three parts, the east and west wings and the main building. The wings will each he 902 feet in length and the cen- tral portion 836 feet long. exterior will consist of block . fretted and ornamented, The building will be supported by » columns, which are to by the nations of the Promises have -already been obtained from some of them that the columns will be furnished. They will be richly sculptured and the motto of the nation presenting cach will be inscribed at its base. They will also have the name of the nation set in gold, silver or aluminium letters at the top. Eight hundred smaller colurans, composed Mexican, onyx and uluminum will also be used. At the American.end of the building, above the main entrance, will be in- scribed: "United States of America," and at the Canadian entrance, "Onta- rio, Dominion of Canada."

Immediately below the first story an immense arcade will furnish a passace from the United States to-Canada for the Grand Trunk, West Shore and other railways. This will be lighted with thourands of arch and Above the tenth story and up to the forty-fifth, the building will be used for commercial purposes, among the important that of grinding the western wheat which comes down from the lakes.
