until his gathered literary businesses
are properly housed, catalogued and
cared for by trained attendants.
1t is the present intention of the
architect and of the librarian to have
the reading public accommodated in the
rotunda, with cOncentric circles of
desks; but it will be necessary ulti-
mately to furnish additional room for
this purpose. The congressional Ii
brary is not patronizcd now, us it will
be when the books can be readily uc-
ccssiblc. At present, applicants some.
times have to wait an hour or more for
books and other documents, on account
of the crowded condition of the IL
brary in the capitol. In the new build
ing, with the rapid transit system,
there will be upwards of five hundred
reference readers there every day, and
that number will constantly increase.
Additional room for readers will be
made, when such space is demanded:
for the entire cdiiicc has been planned
and constructed for the future az well
as for the present. OF course, we know
that "of the making of books there is
no end" and with the growth of intel
ligcncc and literary ambition in the
world there will be more and more max
ing of books. But it will probably he

the slightest crowtling for shelf room
i'll the new building. To begin with,
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1893-04-11

shelf room has been provided for $780,
600 volumes, which is IL third more than
are now owned by the congressional
library. Space has been also provided for
2,T00, 900 more, when it becomes ncccs-
sary to place the shelves in position, but
that will not be in our day and genera
ton.
This arrangement provides for total
of i, 800, 900 volumes; and, when all that
space has been filled, some time about
two hundred years hence, there is TO he
space provided in the court yards, where
an additional million volumes may be
shclvcd. These books are not merely
to be stored in the building in a hcltcr-
SHELTER manner, as they arc now in the
old library, but every book will be
properly catalogucd and readily acccs-
siblc.
There will never be fire which will
destroy any of these books, nor any
portion of the great building, which is
wholly firc-proof. Metallic shelves will
be used, and books will not burn. al
though they may shoulder under in
tense heat. The great iron stacks of
shelves will be filed with books, stand
ing face to face, so that between them
there may be rooan for the free passage
of sufficient air to keep them dry and
fresh in appearance. Light, which is
as essential for books rs for their read
crs, will be furnished the rotunda bv
great glass windows all around the
roof. Moreover, the wall spaces be-
tween the iron stacks will be of glass.
The court yards will all be paved with
cnamclcd bricks, which will reflect the
rays of the sun into the adjoining cor
ridorS
There was great contention in the
Fiftieth congress over the appropria-
ton for this building. 1t was alleged
that the architect originally in charge
of the work was not giving satisfactory
performance of his duties. Mr. Kelley,
of Pennsylvania, celebrated as a cham
pion OF protection, and spoken of al
most always as "Pig-Iron Kelley" de-
Tended the architect in magnificent
speech of an hours duration, but the
congress concluded to place the work
in charge of Gen. Casey, the chief of
engineers of the army, and it was done.
Gen. Casey, you will remember, com
pletcd the Washington monument, a
few years ago. lie is one of the great
est civil engineers of any age, ancient
or modern. The Washington monu-
mcnt, at a height of 125 feet, had been
long neglected. Gen. Casey undermined
that massive pile, held it up with ma
chnery, underpinncd it with concrete
foundation, built it on up to point of
ODD feet III the air, and placed upon it
an aluminium capstone. He SAYS that,
with engineering appliances of the pres
cnt day, he can lift up that enormous
monument, turn it clear around and
set it back in its place, without disturb

stone. lie it is who is completing this
