the world. Every type of man known to
ethnOlogy has a place in one of these
arches. and the faces are marvellous In
thei- -~stInn and character. Over the
main entrance are the types of the highest
order of men, such as the Greek. the Latin
and the Saxon, while at the back of the
building you find the lowest types, such as
you find ia Africa and in the South Sea

space as the Capitol. Its dome is not so
large, but its plate of gold makes it in
fiEitely more conspicuous. If you will
take five city lots and carpet them with "a
carat gold you will get an idea of the
golden quilt which covers this immense
dome. There is no room in the United
States so large that it would fit this great
golden CARPET, and it is the largest dome in
the United States. 1t has been called the
largest golden dome in the world. But it
is mistake. The dome of st. Isaac's in

/ have spoken off the 1900 windows of
this building. Those of the interior and
of these stacks are set into the walls. great
massive pieces of plate glass as large as
good sized store fronts. 1t is not possible
to raise or lower them, and they are made
SO for the protection of the hooks, in order
that no dust may enter. The ventilation is
all done from the roof, and these windows
are washed on the outside by means Of
little railroad which runs around them
from story to story, on which the washers
can stand and wash them clean. The acres
OF floor in this great book palace will be of
marble. The walls of the rotunda are of
cOlored marble from all parts of the Uni
ted States, and in the whole, vast, high,
four acres of wonderful rooms not a spIiu-'
ter of wood has been used. Ali is composed
OF iron. stone, cement and glass. and, as Mr..
Green, the engineer in charge, told me,
ther1 will not be enough wood in the build:
ing when it is completed TO make a match.
This building is to cost Sc. 600, 600. The
Stale. War and Navy building cost $1O,-

Uncle Sam will get more for his money out

army of carvers at work making wonder

rior, and throughout the whole building

about two years, and within two years and
half the new library will be in thorough
operation.

screeching to the public to pause and adj
