    The new edition of Sweet's Index, which has just been delivered, has a clearly arranged and concise catalogue of all the productions and their applications of the AMERICAN LUXFER PRISM COMPANY, which will be found to be of great convenience to the architect.

ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL, LONDON

The Cathedral was begun in 1675, according to designs by Sir Christopher Wren; taking the place of the old cathedral of the Eleventh to Thirteenth Centuries, which was destroyed in the great fire of 1666. It was first used for divine service in 1697 and was completed in 1710, the cost being about $3,500,000. In plan and architecture it is akin to St. Peter's at Rome, but only one-half as great in area, and relatively longer and narrower. Its dimensions are 500 by 118 feet; length of transepts 250 feet; inner height of dome, 225 feet; height to top of cross, 364 feet; diameter of dome, 112 feet; the diameter of that of St. Peter's being 139¼ and of the Pantheon 143 feet.


    The Luxfer Reinforced Concrete Prism Sidewalk is being installed wherever good permanent work of the best kind is desired.
