The Senate has the better side OF the controversy
between itself and the House as to the course to
be pursued with the congressional library build
Ing The House wanted 10 sweep aside every
thing that had been done and begin all over, even
At the point OF inviting a new competition in
plans. The senate contents itself with proposing
the abolition OF the present library commission
and putting the whole business into the hands OF
chief Engineer Casey, with discretionary power
10 go ahead on the existin plans What the coun-
Try wants IS not wastefulness on the one hand
or niggardlineSs on the other. IL wants a sub
stantial building designed in good TASTE fitted for
the work 10 be done In IT, and Of dimensions suited
not merely TO the uses OF to-day but to the
reasonable expectations OF the future There has
been one competition, and the plans which were
nnally adopted were discussed at length before
any action was taken by Congress. The excava-
lion has been made and work on the founda-
ton begun, IN accordance Herewith. To change
substantially the plans now would be TO throw TO
the winds the very large amount OF money already
appropr. ated and expended Every precaution
which suggests itself against waste or misnanage-
ment In construction may well be adopted. but the
work should be pushed steadily and rapidly to
completion, and the structure erected should be OF
character not only TO meet the practical re-
qured OF 10, but INTELLECTUALLY TO stand with
out discreiit in the vicinity of the Capitol

The Senate committee has acted wisely In at
tachng TO the sundry civil bill appropriation OF
100000 for the establishment OF geological park
on Rock Greek The national character OF the I'M
dertaking. Its scientific importance In preserv ng
living North American mammals otherwise som
10 become extinct. and the public benefits 10 be
derived from II have been stated in The STAR and
have been generally rec gnzed by leading newspa-
pers OF all sections OF the country. To Washing
ton the project has, Of course, an additional and
special local interest. Not only will the garden
be beautiful addition to the city's attractions,
peasure-ground for our own people and point OF
interest for visitors from without, but IL Will
tend to preserve a lovely bit OF watered
woodland from the pollution which usually
follows the growth OF a city TO the bor-
ders OF such a place. Paramount park In
Philadelphia, the Central and Riverside parks OF
New York, Prospect park in Brooklyn, and Lincoln
park In Chicago all furnish evidence OF the wisdom
OF rescuing a suburban garden-spot from the IN
cursions OF too practical civilization. The money
spent on these improvements has come back TO the
taxpayers many times over In the increased valua-
ton OF city property consequent upon them IL is
hoped that the House Will give Its assent without
question this wise and bcnehcent plan, and that
the establishment OF the 200" Will prove to be the
forerunner OF decision to convert the whole rocky
and picturesque valley OF Rock Creek into public
park.

Glass Railroad Rails.

Berlin papers copy from the Germania
an account of an important discovery
in glass manufacture, made by Fried
rich Siemens. of Dresden. lie has sue
ceeded in casting glass in the same way
as metal is cast, and obtaining an art
icle corresponding to cast metal. This
cast glass is hard, not dearer in produc-
ton than cast iron, and has the advan-
tage of transparency, so that all flaws
can be detected before it is applied to
practical use. 1t will be much less ex-
posed to injury from atmospheric infu-
ences than iron. The process of pro-
duction is not difficult, the chief feature
being rapid cooling. The hardness and
resisting power of the cast glass are so
great that experiments are being just
now carried out at the Siemens glass
foundry at Dresden, for the purpose of
ascertaining whether the material could
be employed for rails on railways.

A Ohild's Remarkable Eyes.

One of the most remarkable freaks
of nature that can be found in the
world is to be seen in the person of lit
tie Emma Byers, the six-year-old daugh-
ter of Michael Byers, an employe of the
Cincinnati Ice Company. Little Emma,
since her birth, has lived in close con-
fnement, and for the entire period Of
her existence has been carefully guard
ed by her mother, SO fearful have her
parents been of her safety.
She possesses eyes of such popularity
that, as a curiosity attraction, she sur
passes any human being ever born. In
her right eye is perfect form of a doll
baby, handsomely dressed and with
features positively beautiful. In the
left eye is miniature crescent. These
strange figures are not imaginative, but
plainly to be seen, and can readily be
distinguished at distance Of four or
five feet.
The strangest thing about this freak
is the fact that little Emma has per
feet sight. She can see the smallest
object some distance away, and in look.
ing into the eyes of another person
looks straight as the most of natural
pupil could do Cincinnati Enquirer
