Will House
Art Objects
A gift of $2,500,000 by Jphn D.
Rockefeller, Jr., to the Metropol
itan Museum of Art has made pos
sible the building of the structure
pictured here. The "Cloisters'' and
surrounding grounds will occupy
four acres in Fort Tryon park over
looking the Hudson. The site was
reserved for the building and gar
dens when Mr. Rockefeller present
ed the park to New York city In
1930. It Is hoped the new buildings
will be ready for public inspection
in 1938.
The project will supplant the
present Cloisters built by George
Grey Barnard, noted sculptor, to
house the statuary und art objects
he has acquired. He sold his art
collection to the Metropolitan mu
seum In 1925, and lent its trustees
the property and building that the
collection might not be moved.
With the construction of the Rocke
feller building, the original build
ing will revert to Mr. Barnard.
The building pictured above will
be one of the most beautiful In
America, and will rank favorably
with notable European museums.

Sulphur Once Condensed
From Fumes of Volcanoes
Men have been familiar with sul
phur since before the beginning of
written history, notes Thomas M.
Beck. In the Chicago Tribune. An
cient scientists were peculiarly fas
cinated by It The fact that It usu
ally was found near volcanoes and
that It was about the-only known
mineral substance that was Inflam
mable, led them to regard It as a
sort of solid form of Are, poa
f'Ssed with a cosmic Importance al-
C Ust equal to that of the gods.
This feeling that there Is something
supernatural about sulphur has con
tinued to the present day.
The ancients were correct when
they attributed magical properties
to the substance. It has been said
without exaggeration that sulphur
plays some part, either directly or
Indirectly, In the preparation of 90
per cent of all the things we use.
Where do we get our sulphur?
Until about thirty years ago almost
all of It came from the neighbor
hood of volcanoes, where, during
past ages It had been condensed
from fumes Issuing from the
earth's Interior. There was not
much demand for the stuff in an
cient times except as a curiosity.
The flrst Industrial demand for It
came about the year I.VM). when
gunpowder, of which sulphur Is an
Ingredient, began to come into gen
eral use.
Consumption of Sea Food*
The approximate annual per
capita consnmption of all fishery
products, fresh, smoked, dried and 1
canned, in the United States
amounts to about 15 pounds. The
annual per capita consumption of
commercial production of fresh wa
ter fish is about 2% pounds.
' Earthworm ai Food
The earthworm was at one time
eaten by humans in different parts
of the world. In parts of China and
Japan it Is still thought to have a
medicinal value in fever cases and
native Australians consider It a
good remedy for rheumatism.
Passion for Nature Deep
The passion of the Japanese for
nature is deep-rooted. Many fes
tivals at all seasons of the year
are bound up with flowers. Their
artistic designs represent one or
another of nature's beauties. Deli-'
cacy of line is prominent in their,
qualities and the Japanese home is
a delight to the eye.
The Pimpernel
The pimpernel Is any of a genus
(Anagallls) of plants of the prim
rose family, with white, blue or
scarlet flowers, which, in one species
(A. arvensis), close with the ap
proach of bad weather.
