Spring than November. Does not

sunshine once more.

To the Editor Of TIE EvKSISs STAR
In one of your recent editorials reference was
made to the organization of a museum of arms
aud armor In Washington.
take great pleasure I'm saying that have
been for two years engaged In bringing to-
gether all of the material of the Smithsonian
Institution and National Museum for the pur-
pose named in your letter. My plan is to regard
weapons OF different kinds as objects of natural
history TO divide them into genera and species,
and TO study with reference to each species its
origin, its life, history and its distribution in
time and place. This series, when completed
will include every weapon at any time used by
any tribe OF mem 1t will bring together those
weapons that are alike in form and function
and place them before the eye In such order as
to show the history OF invention In the art OF
We may lay down the fundamental principle
that any known art whatever had for its pris-
tine implement natural object. Commence
ing with this natural object, which may be a
stone for hurting, a club tor striking, shark
tooth for cutting, or splinter of flint for pierre
ing, shall endeavor to exhibit step by step,
the working of the human mind in perfecting
the apparatus for performing the ends just
named The same IS true of all defensive APP
paratus.
second law of invention with reference to
weapons is that every implement of offense
having been accompanied by corresponding
Implement of defense, the history of defensive
apparatus will, therefore, be shown in the same
manner as the history of ofense. The national
collections in Washington are already rich in
the many forms OF primitive weapons and de-
lenses and in the means of illustrating modern
warfare. Our city is poor in those things which
illustrate the middle steps
In addition to the arrangement above set
forth, 1T is proposed 20 organize system of loan
exhibition, by means of which We may receive
on deposit at the National Museum treasures
which tine IOaners are not willing 10 part with.
Objects of this kind will take their place in the
different series for the purposes OF instruction.
i ann sure that the press will aid us in carry
ing out this scheme. and we may begin by say
ing that the National Museum does not possess
"a cross-bOw or an entire suit of armor; indeed,
that the greatest gap in our present collections
IL created by the want of specimens to illustrate
medieval warfare. %. Il. MASON.
