The Connecticut Colony for Epilep- tics which has been established in the town of Mansfield, is rapidly being made ready to receive the first patients. There are two dormitories one for the men and the other for women.. Each is a plain brick building of two stories basement, and attic, made with as little ornament as was consistent with good appearance, and built so as to make practically every inch count in a practical way. The outside dimen- sions of, the building are ninety-three feet in length by thirty-nine in width. The building is fireproof, the roof be- ing made of slate, the floors through- out of concrete, the stair treads of slate on iron frames, staircases of metal lathing and studding only the planking of the roof, the doors and the window frames being of wood. Details of Dormitory. The attic consists of one large room, of the full interior dimensions of the building, with ample light from {windows, and plenty of space for the storing of miscellaneous articles. The ventilators reach the exterior along the | walls of this upper room, and are here ‘Pas“.\' accessible. As on floors below | the attic floor is of cement, left in this case, unfinished. Sleeping Rooms. Descending the fireproof stairs one finds himself in the second story which {is divided into twelve rooms. Here | the floors are all covered with linoleum | to prvent the injury that patients | might suffer from faling, during ep- | {flepnc seizures, upon the hard ce- {ment. All rooms commonly used by | patients are thus fitted with linoleum. | Six of the twelve rooms on this floor are bed rooms; of window casing. The walls of the | sleeping rooms are of adamant {ter painted a light cream color {finish is both sanitary and in keeping with the general plai ness of design. | Direct and Indirect Heating, The heating in these rooms Is ac- {complished by the indirect system, !

The ground floor has nine rooms, wo smaller ones and one large room lare to be used as “hospital rooms,” { where patients may kept when i mentally disturbed from causes con- nected with their malady, or when | jotherwise ill.

Tn the same building with the boilers and engine room is the laundry, for which the legisiature made no spectal appropriation. It contains a washer, mangie. extractor, drier. five flatiron boards fitted with electric irons, starch cooker and soap tanks, as well as set tubs. A separate electric motor actu- ates each of the several machines. “A laundry”, said Svperintendent Donald L.
