Pour kinds of stone, from as many
countries, enter into the material
used in the construction of the new
Episcopal/ Cathedral at Ilaralltan,
Bermucle. Besides the legal coral
rock, of which it is largely built,
these include 'Indiana. limestone from
thq, States, sandstone from Neva
ScOpla, a Scotch san.clstone and Caen
stOne from Prance.. • .
The. coral reek, of which the • body
ot the church is constructed, is the
rea,terial in common use in
the islands, but in so huge a struc-
ture a stouter material was required
in some' pieces where a strain wao
likely to come and ether 'materiel
was required as well for some inte-
rior and decoration uses, so it was
for thesenieveral purposes that the
building stone described was im-
ported. a'
• Thus this island cathedral contains
within its walls not only native ma-
terial but stone from lands, on either
shore of the ocean in the middle of
which it stands.
