Only On* of Ito Kind In The World Joliet, III., July 6.—Sunlight frr every call and' individual washbowls with hot and cold water an con veniences to be found within tbs new cylindrical state prison at Statesville, Illinois. The prison house, the first of its kind in the world, fives one the Im pression upon entrance of being in an aviary. Every osli has been provided with 90 minutes of sunlight, coming through a skylight. This universal attribution of sunlight accomplished by a slight curve in the skylight was figured by Forest Ray Moulton, pro feaeor of astronomy at the University of Chicago. A cafeteria iiystem, another new idea for prison life, has been installed. Moat of the eatables are supplied from the 2, 200 acre honor farm upon which the prison ia located. The 248 eel la which are all alike are built of concrete with cork insulation in the »«Ila. The doors of the cells are doubly locked. They can be automatically locked by a hydraulic oil control and tt^en the guard comes around and locks each cell separately. They can be opened individually. In the center of the prison is a tow er from where the guards can watch the movement* of all priaoners. At night the outside of the prison is lighted up with electric lights by which the guard in the center of the round prison house can see everything that ia going on in front of the,win dows. The prison is surrounded with a cir cular concrete wall. The New York state building com ; mission has adopted thia idea and ex pects to enclose Sing Sing with a sim ilar wall.
