The first process is to cover the model
with a thick layer of paste board in a moist
state. When it is dry sharp knife is passed
around it so as to separate the pasteboard
coat into two hemispherical shells, which
are then taken off the model and united at
the cut edges with glue The hollow sphere
thus formed is the skeleton Of the globe
that is to be.
The next thing is to cover it with a coat
ing of white enamel about an eighth of an
inch in thickness. When this is done the
ball is turned into perfect roundness with a
machine. The iron rod running throu Oh
the center of the original model and pro-
jecting at both ends through the surface has
left holes in the new globe which serve for
the north and south poles, and through
these a metal axis is run to represent the
axis of the EARTH
Then the surface is marked off with pen
Gil lines into mathematical SegmentS, CORE
spending precisely in shape with the sec
tions of map that are to be pasted on. These
map sections are made from copper plates
in just the sizes and shapes required TO tit
the globe they are made for, one set, of
course, covering the entire surface of a
sphere. They are printed, many of them,
like dress patterns, on sheets of the finest
linen paper, and are cut out carefully with
sharp-pointed knife.
When they have been pasted on the differ
ent countries are tinted by hand with water
cOlors. There is no Special-rule for this,
except that contrasts are sought to help the
eye. Finally the whole is overlaid with a

metallic hardness, and it will wear indefi-
nitely without scratching and without losing

Il don't wonder" said Jack, for the land
was affecting him in the same way. The
fragrance of orange, magnolia and the many
OdOrous shrubs and grasses filled the air all
the while he was ashore, the bouquet OF his
b0at-lOad Of hives enveloped him when he

The New Congressional Library Building
Being Pushed.
Work on the new Congressional Library
Building in Washington has begun again.
Workmen began digging the excavations in
1886, the year in which the original law was
passed, but when the Chief of Engineers
took charge in June, 1885, 'only about half
of the foundations had been laid. Since
that time no fault can bp found with the
progress of the work. Before the close of
the working season of 1889 the foundations
were completed, and a very fair start was
made upon the building proper. Last year
was a busy one, and when the regular
building operations closed In December the
entire basement story had been built, that
being the first story above the ground. The
cornerstone of the building was laid Au-
gust 2Sth. without ceremony of any sort
This will be, when completed the largest
library building in the world. Its outside
dimensions are 463 by 3S5 feet. The great
pu bile reading-room in the Fotunda will
have a diameter of 100 feet. When the
structure is opened to the public in 1896 it
will contain shelving sufficient TO stow
away 100000 books. This is expected to
accommodate all the books received at the
library for the next thirty years the present
rate OF increase being about 10000 volumes
year. But when the million and a half
mark is reached there will still be room in the
building for >, 100000 more books, so that IL

WINTER IN NEWFOUNDLAND.
Some Interesting Facts About Country Not
Generally Known.

The isolation of life In the distant parts of
Newfoundland during winter is extreme.
Outside the peninsula of Avalon there are
hardly any roads, and, even II they existed,
snow and ice would render them inn
passable. Out to sea stretches a vast icy
pavement, through which il is often impossi-
bic for even a steamer to ram its way. In
all the long winter months the little hamlets
lie surrounded by the great snow blanket
and cut off from communication from all
mankind, save those who inhabt their little
settlement Should the store of provisions
run low. the situation is perl0us, for there
is no possibility Of getting supplies unless a
lead" opens in the ice aud allows steamer
to get along the coast; or, if she be not ice
bound at too great distance, perhaps some
of the men go out over the frozen sea TO
meet the vessel, and carry home food 10
their families. Should the ship fail to come,
the people are sometimes driven to eat their
dogs, of which several are usually kept in
order to draw home wood from the foreS IS
on Sleds. So great is the difficulty of COM
munication during winter that a clergyman
relates that on one occasion, as near TO Til G
capital as Trinity Bay, 10 shillngs had been
demanded. and % were actually paid, for
the conveyance Of a single letter overland
to the city by a crOss-country guide. While
the coast Is lce-bound, the direct steamers
from England do not touch at NeWfound-
land, but the mails are brought up from
Halifax in small wooden steamer, ex-
presSy built for facing the ice; but even
this vessel cannot always manage to get In,
and mails have to be carried ashore seven
or eight miles over the ice on mems backs.

went along and bring him into the house?
Beauty did not imply bTainS-he had learned
this long ago in his home studies Of hered-
ity; neither did it save its pOssassor from
rude tastes. Well, Jack was sure the whole
affair was none of his business, and if he
could not get it ont OF his head where it
seemed determined to stay, he would have
himself t0wed up the river ahead of time
and get away from such a nightmare of
stupidity. If he could afford to rush the
season little he guessed the bees could
stand il, too.
