In tho planning, erection ami adornment
of tho Congressional Library, that a
list of them would embrace about nil
the great ones In tho world of art and
architecture. With duo regard to n
tery fow structures which cost more,
the Library Is ranked ns tho most beau
tiful public building In America, and
one of tlio most iuaguincentlu tho
world. From first to last, It had the
most assiduous rare of Its projectors,
nnd constant watchfulness made graft
that practlco of diverting tho public
money to private ends so notlceablo In
noiiio other undertakings of similar
character Impossible; so that tho
money appropriated went to exactly tho
uses Intended. There aro other build
ings of more genera I Importance. In
Washington. Tho Capitol, of course,
ranks llrst, and tho Treasury and
Htule, War and Nnvy buildings follow
closely; but however It Is exceeded In
aiieli affair as pertain to tlio business
of tho government, even the Capitol
cannot approach tho Library In Interior
beauty.
Tho Congressional Library represents
mi outlay of $7,000,000. It covers an
urea of threo and one-half acres, or
about tho same as the ground area of
the Capitol. It Is -iTOxilll) feet In di
mensions and has four large Inner
courts averaging I Mix 100 feet. Tho Li
brary Is situated mpiarely In front of
tho Capitol, ami Is separated from It J
by beautiful lawns nud driveways. It
covers the site of seventy residences
which were bought In the Into KO's at
u cost of about !f(HM),(HH). The founda
tions were begun In lSSt, and the build
ing was completed In 181)7. Tho struc
ture Is of the Italian Itonalssniico or
der of architecture, has three stories
ami dome. Tho latter Is finished In
black copper, with panels covered with
n thick coating of gold leaf. Tho burn
lug torch of Scleiuv, with which tho
dome Is capped, reaches a height of
105 feet above ground. Tho only Jar

the Library "squatty" when comparing
tho two buildings, but this feeling Is
lost Immediately on eutranco to the
wonders of tho main stair hall.
The lofty celling Is arched and groin

feet above the floor.
There could be nothing rlchor or
more magnificent than tho stairways,
with their festoons of fruits and flow
ers and the turuHsU surmounted by
two great bronzo figures bearing stand
ards for electric lights. Tho staircases
aro also ornamented with twenty-six
marble figures by Mnrtlny, representing
tho art and sciences and carved In
bold relief. A master of language has
described this stair hall as a poem In
polished stone, and It Is by all odds tho
finest mnrblo Interior In America.
Tho Congressional Library had Its In
eoptlon in 1800, when Vongross appro
priated $5,000 for It. From that small
beginning, tho Library hns grown until
It now contains moro than a million
books. IJvery copyrighted work Is rep
resented, tho law requiring tho deposit
of two copies of each publication copy
righted. A number of special, priceless
collections aro here, Including Thomas
Jefferson's library, tho Smithsonian li
brary and ancient, priceless engravings
almost without limit. Any Hrsoit may
uso tho library, but only members of
Congress, tho l'resldont, Supreme Court,
and government olllclals may draw
books out of It.
Tho book stacks aro of Iron and rlso
lu tiers nine stories to tho roof. Each
stack has a capacity of 800,000 vol
umes. There aro about forty-four run
ning miles of shelving, and tho capac
ity of tho Library when all available
space Is taken up Is estimated nt 4,
GOO.OOO volumes. When books aro want
ed at the Capitol, they are taken
through u tunnel by means of an end

tho Library Is somewhat plain, lu con

Tho visitor to Washington who does

tho lactometer for determining tho spe

a companion to tho test to enable tho
dairyman to readily determine tho

and extent of adulterations. Tho acid

It Is now seveuteen years since the great Johnstown flood occurred, a dis
aster that will never bo forgotteu lu history on account of Its rapidity, Its
horrors and tho great loss of life.
Johustown lies In a narrow valley at the foot of the Allegheny Moun
tains, between Concmnugh Itlver and Stony Creek, with a precipitous hill
on one side nnd a gentle slope on the other. In 1880 It had a population of
ao.000 souls, and was the busy, thriving principal point between Philadelphia
uiul Pittsburg. For a week previous to the tragic day of the downfall there
had been heavy rains, and tho mountain streams were muddy and full. The
whole face of nature back of tho town presented a chnuge to Its usual asjieot.
and May 81 tho waters bulked where South Fork Lake and tho dam con
nected, and, tearing away the stone coping, gave the first token of danger.
Three horsemen started wildly down the valley to arouae the people and tell
them of Impending peril. Half a down houses wer swept away, and
theu the flood burst wpon Johnstown.. Hotels, gaa and water plants,
bauks, residence, were all swallowed up by the devastating flood. lu oue

The losa In money value was many millions; the lose of life over 3,000,
