shelf room has been provided for $780,
600 volumes, which is third more than
are now owned by the congressional
library. Space has been also provided for
2,7OO, 900 more, when it becomes neces-
sary to place the shelves in position, but
that will not be in our day and genera
ton.
This arrangement provides for total
of 4, SOC, 200 volumes; and. when all that
space has been filed, some time about
two hundred years hence, there is to be
space provided in the court yards, where
an additional million volumes may be
shelved. These books are not merely
to be stored in the building in helter-
SHELTER manner, as they are now in the
old library, but every book will be
properly catalogued and readily acces-
sible.
There will never be fire which will
destroy any of these books, nor any
portion of the great building, which is
wholly fire-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 filled with books, stand
ing face to face, so that between them
there may be room for the free passage
Of sufficient air to keep them dry and
fresh in appearance. Light, which is
as essential for books as for their read
ers, will be furnished the rotunda by
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
cnameled 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. It 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 cham
pion Of protection, and spoken OF al
most always as "Pig Iron Kelley de-
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.
pleted the Washington monument,
few years ago. He is one Of the great
est civil engineers Of any age. ancient
or modern. The Washington monu.
ment, at a height of 1875 feet, had been
long neglected. Gen. Casey undermined
that massive pile, held it up with ma.
chinery, underpinned it with concrete
foundation, built it on up to a point OF
555 feet in the air, and placed upon II
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
ing speck Of mortar or chipping a
stone. He it is who is completing this
Congressional Library building, and the
work is being well done. The full ap-
preparation for its cost, is s6,O0O,OO0.
Up to date, every estimate has been full
filled without the cost of an extra cent
for incidentals 1t is a splendid work,
and is being faithfully performed.

The Robbsr Crab OF Hawaii.

Strange to say, very little seems to
be known Of the crab around Honolulu
1t is a fact, however, that it makes its
home in the hollow OF decayed cocoa
nut tree and that it climbs live cocoa

nuts until they drop to the ground.
Then the crab descends with marvellous
rapidity and by aid of its powerful nip
pers strips the husk from the nut
When the eyes of The cocoanut are laid
bare the crab inserts its horny claws
and bursts the succulent nut, deyour-
ing the kernel with great relish. This
particular crab was located by the mass
of husks and nutshells around the root
OF the tree where it lived. 1t managed
