Queen Victoria Royalty Greeted on Her
Arrival in London From Windsor.
LONDON, June 22.-The queen came
to London from Windsor castle during
the day and was warmly welcomed by
the :.throngs that lined the streets.
The start for London was made at
1910 a. M, and Paddington was reached
at 1890. The route to Buckingham
palace was via Oxford and Cambridge

Throughout, the route was tenanted
by an immense assemblage. Every
window had it's occupants, every roof
it's sightseers, every available space in
the street and square, sidewalk and gar
dens, the paths and chairs and even the
trees and ratings Of the parks were
black with loyal humanity. The queen
drove slowly to crafty her people. Her
face everywhere loosened the voice Of
the multitude, and in unrestrained
strength the rich and tumultuous express
sion of loyalty and affection broke forth.
Through Burtons gate the queen
passed on to the garden entrance Of
Buckingham palace, always between
the living lanes of her subjects, always
the object Of endless homage and salvos
of cheers which continued until the
gates had shut the ueen from view.
The queen was dressed in black and
bowed slowly to the right and to the

A STRANGE DISCOVERY.


A Petriled Wooden Cross Found Imbed-
ded In . Rock.
Recently there was uneartbed in the
stone quarries Of Ira W. Logan, at the
junction Of the Ohio and Beaver rivers,
near Pittsburg, q petrifed wooden Cross.
II is 18 by "a inches in dimensions and
was imbedded In the surface of mas
sive limestone rock which had been
blasted from the quarry cliff.
The formation Of at least century's
growth Of limestone was above the
point where the rock containing the
cross was taken. The cross is supposed
TO have been the property Of a Jesuit
missionary and was evidently planted
to symbolise the Christianization of the
early Indian tribes.
Historians say IL Is relic of the IA
nous trip made by Celeron, the cele-
brated French commandant, who ex-
plored tho Allegheny and Ohio river
valley In i749. Numerous parties of

traces Of the expedition, but beyond the

BOOKS FOR RAILWAY MEN.
A Novel scheme For Giving Street Car
Men Library Privileges.

A Novel Scheme For Giving Street Car
Men Library Privileges.
The board Of managers of the public
library, st. Louis, are to inaugurate q
system for the distribution Of books to
street car employees and their families.
The plan involves the establishment of
library stations at the power houses Of
the various street car lines in the city.
Captain Robert McCulloch Of the
Hamilton syndicate will be the first to
adopt the plan. He has been in confer
ence with the free library officials for
some time and is enthusiastic over the
scheme. At the power house or sheds of
each Of his lines he will open public
library Office, which will be in charge
of one Of the employees of the company.
Books will be delivered by the library
wagons and the men and their families
will be supplied with all the reading
matter they want. Each will be issued
q certificate Of membership, which will
also be given to the other readers Of the
mans home.
st. Louis is the first city in the Unit.
ed States to use such means Of circu-
lating books. In speaking of the idea
recently, one Of the library attaches said
1--WE think this plan will be success
ful. At present we rarely see a street
car man in the library. The reason is
patent. Their hours are long and they
seldom get an opportunity to come down
town. Under this method the books
will be at their disposal in their very
workshops. Then. again. the scheme is
designed just as much to educate the
members Of their families. Most Of
these people are not blessed with bur-
densome lot Of worldly goods, and the
item Of 10 cents car fare means great
deal to them. As nearly all the men
live within easy walking distance of the
power houses, the Car fare expense will
be ont Of the question and tho waste Of
time going to and from the branches
will be very small. ST Louis Re-

CARLOADS OF BOOKS.
TRANSFERRING THE CONGRESSIONAL
LIBRARY TO ITS NEW HOME.

A Tramwsy and Small Cars Utilized-How
the Collection Was Classified and Ar
ranged For Removal-A Word About the
New Library and Its Equipment.
The enormous task Of moving the
congressional library from its old home
in the capitol to the new and handsome
modern structure which has been erect
ed especially to receive it Is under way.
Within the last few days great quaint
ties OF duplicate volumes. foreign par
liamentary reports and other publica-
tions for which there is no demand have
been transferred. It was intended to
postpone moving day until after the ex-
ira session Of congress, to obviate con-
fusion in the arrangement of the vol
umes, which would be irritating to
members who find it necessary to have
daily access to the collection Of works
of reference in ehe preparation Of
speeches and to prime mp for participa-
tion in the debates. But Librarian
Spofford has devised a comprehensive
scheme by which the great library can
be taken to it's new home without con-
fusion.
The collection will be classified and
each division arranged by authors al
phabetically. These divisions will be
subdivided into CLASSES and each class
arranged alphabetically by authors. By
An ingenious system Of juggling with
the alphabet the library will be ar
ranged 20 that any one Of the $50, 900
bound volumes and $50, 900 pamphlets
can be reached at moments notice. II
10 probable that Q temporary elevated
railway will be constructed between the
library building and the capitol for the
transfer Of the books Over itmall cars,
propelled by electricity, will travel. II
was at first proposed to utilize the large
tunnel between the two buildings
through which the books will be trans
1erred from building to building aftei
the library is installed, but the elevated
railroad plan was adopted in preference,
- IL will run ON level from the main
floor Of the capitol to the main floor Of
the new library and will not necessi-
tate the lowering and elevating of the
books, which the use Of the tunnel
would entail.
Three gigantic fireproof book racks
have been provided in the new building
for the reception Of the library. The
two larger are each 60 feet high, 11S
feet long and % feet wide. and each OF
them will hold 800, 900 volumes, OF
more than the present entire contents OF
tho library Of congress. These greal
boneycombs Of iron are 20 constructed
that, any class or division may be ex
tended indefinitely without any trouble
and furnish 4S miles of shelving. II the
volumes now in the library were ar
ranged side by side. they would extend
about IL miles, 20 that the presen,
ehelving facilities will be ample to care
for the growth Of the library for several
years 70 come. Space has been provided
for the erection Of other stacks. bowev
