March waa nnn of the busiest months In the history of he United States land office here. Dur ing the month 192 homestead entries were made, as against 82 for the same month a year ago; 35 desert entries were made, against 11 last year. What will ba when completed the most superb block of flats in the world Is rearing Its head above tha traffio of busy Piccadilly on the site which waa occupied by tha town home of tha lata Duke of Cambridge, at the corner of Park Lana, London. The building occu pies a lot about the alse of an ordinary residence lot In Portland and Is to be hut seven stories high, yet will cost when ready for Its wealthy tenants more than 8J.000.000. Two yeara have been spent In the work of construction and now the exterior of the magnificent structure Is attracting more attention than anything of the kind in London. Its front Is of dull white terra cotta with egg-shell glaae and tha requisite touch of color is given by tha relieving courses of green. Not only is it the most expensive building of the kind in the world but It will also command what Is believed to be the hlahest rental of any like sixe living apartment in high-priced Lon Hnn The entrance to tha six upper floors is on Park Lane, where tha resi dents will enter a spacious vesuouie and proceed to the apartmenta by ele vator.

Second, third and fourth floors each possess 18 rooms. with kitchens and domestic offices on a corresponding scale. There are II bed and dressing-rooms, three bathrooms, a iirawinr-rnnm ana oouaoir wun aim ing doers, so that they may be formed into a ballroom: a dinma-room. uorary and billiard-room, and these apartmenta are approached by a noble hall 88 feet long and wide in proportion. Theae are the suits for which tenants will be asked to pay 115,000 a year, ap proximately, in addition to tha rates and taxes. On the fifth floor a rather smaller flat, with only nine bedrooms and four reception rooma. may ba had for $10,000 a year rent and the sixth or topmost floor has an estimated ren tal value of S7.500 a rear. The internal fittings have yet to be completed, but the worit is being nur ried on and In two or three months, the most elegant and expensive private apartments In London, If not in all Europe, will be ready for the waiting tenant who can afford to pay at the rate of about $100 a month for each room in his apartment While such ren tal ia fairly staggering to the average American, it must be remembered that those who live in these apartments will have at their command every conveni ence which modern enterprise can pro vide and modern weaitn pay ror.
