Tho Most Perfect Structure OF Its Kind In

No such library as this new one Of
You must imagine, to begin with, two
iron bookcases, each 65 feet high, 112
feet long and as feet wide. They tower
up through the building story on story
in nine tiers. Each bookcase will hold
800, 900 volumes. The metal framework
is made gridiron fashion to permit the
free passage of the atmosphere, for
books need fresh air as much as human
beings, else they rot. The floors are
sheets Of iron, and fire could do no dam
age worth mentioning, for books will
not burn. They will only smolder under
favorable circumstances
The library has 1900 windows.
Those which admit light to the great
book stacks above described are single
sheets of fine plate glass. Looking from
the interior courtyards, the walls in
closing the book stacks appear to be al
most wholly of glass. Thus the title on
the back Of every volume may be easily
read. The shelves already provided will
accommodate 1, 800, 900 books-twice as
many as are now in the library.
The building has been so constructed
as to afford space for other stacks, which
may be put up at any time, and will
hold 3, 700, 900 volumes more. A mil
lion books in addition may be accom-
modated in the oourtyards and there is
room for more besides The librarian of

received in most friendly way. He de-
MES any intention of starting a revolu-
ton, and says he has in no way author
lied the telegram sent out from San
Francisco stating that ne was coming
here to make war on Salvador or Hon-

country his home and engage in coffee
planting and bring his family here.
His grandparents were born in Mexico,
and he looks upon this country es his
adopted home.
He Laughed at the idea Of war be-
tween Mexico and Guatemala. He says
1000 Mexican soldiers would bs more
than enough TO clean out Guatemala,
which has no soldiers of experience, and
worse officers.
President Diaz was interviewed and
said the kilograms published in the

tention of interfering with Central
American affairs iG absolutely without
foundation. The boundary dispute

wants to spend the remainder of his
days abroad. He is weary OF revolutions

ahrewd to permit revolutionary scheme

Mexico.

Cienfuegos is not satisfied with prison
life in Alameda county. He has been
informed that he would only have to re-
main in prison but few days, when the
authorities at Washington would un-
doubtedly decide his case in his favor.
The colonel knew nothing about the
law, end believed it WAS only question
of few days before he would be re-
leased. He had'already made plans to
join his comrades in Mexico. The colo
mel is disappointed over the prospects
for the future, and he has now como to
the conclusion that he will have long
wait in prison, as nobody seems to be
taking very great interest in his case.
He does not realize the seriousness Of
his case. and at present he has not the
slightest idea that he will be aent back
