Storage Of silver Dollars.

Last Spring the Treasury department
began the construction Of huge vault
for the storage of silver dollars. There
is now a vault of considerable size 10 the
basement of the treasury building, but
as long ago as December last it's capacity
became practically exhausted. Hundreds
of visitors go down on the elevators daily
to gaze in open eyed wonderment at the
cords of "cartwheels piled ap in mathe-
matically even rows. This vault is small
compared with the one now being con-
structed. The new one will hold by
careful storage los, 900, 900 silver dollars.
Large as this sum is, it is stated at the
treasury that there is nearly enough silver
now seeking storage to fill up the new
vault. Ii is in the court between the four
walls of the treasury building. 1t is SO
feet long, 81 feet wide, about Is feet
deep, and arises few feet only above
the ground. There are nine comPart-
ments, separated by iron lattice work
partitions, and riveted together with
thousands of iron bolts. Between the
compartments are arranged straight, mar
row aisles, with small doors opening into
the different sections. The necessary
gaslight will be stationed in these aisles.
When the silver dollars are in the vault
tho prassura ia all nnnn tha Hoor as tho
bags are so piled as not to lean against
the partitions The greatest skill is re-
quired in piling the bags, as the least nm.
svenness might result in upsetting the
whole pile. and perhaps causing them to
fall outward upon the visitors or EN-.
ployes. w ashington Letter.
