moved In order to cut away the reef to
depth Of thirty feet below the low
water plane While the popular name
is rock" the engineers are careful to
explain that 1t Is not a rock but reef
running almost due north and south.
The hole from which the rock takes Its
name runs lengthwise of the reef and
Is oval In form, so that 1t Is about the
same shape under as above water. At
the central point the arch Is three and
half feet high above the low-water
plane, and the deepest point of the In
yerted arch Is nearly four and half
feet below the same level. The hole IL
sixteen feet wide at the center and
flares Mt both ends, so that there Is am
pie width for II largesized barge OF
shallow draft to pass through.
The plan followed Is to take sound
ings along "A number of lines diverging
rapidly from fixed point on the rock;
then move to another fixed point on
the rock and repeat the soundings on
similar diverging lines until the trip has
been made completely around the rock.
The exact position of each radial line
must be carefully noted and the depths
of the rock below, the water at every
ten feet along each radial line must
also be accurately entered on the en-
gineer's records, for on these data all
his calculations as to the quantity Of
rockto be removed, and SO of the charge
of dynamite needed, depend.
Many borings, and an immense guam
tity of high explosives, will be requir-
ed to prepare for the big blast, and

most Improbable, and that from them
she had derived but moderate pleas
ure. Her beauty had won many ad-
mirers and suitors quite as many, but
so plainly did she show her preference
for men of years and wisdom that one
by one they left her side. Men high in
the councils of the nation were curious
about the brilliant young woman from
st. Louis, and then became her slaves.
Vice President Wilson was a frequent
caller. So also were q Senator and
Congressman.
When j. ID. Cousins became United
States Marshal, he appointed his
daughter deputy. She returned to st.
Louis and assumed her duties in her
fathers office. Hers were chiefly cler-
ical duties but they enabled her to
gain an insight into the requirements
of the official life of her chief, and
when her father died she was appoint
ed to fill the vacancy during the unex-
pired term.
She has not walked for year. Time
and care have deeply scanned her face
and robbed her cheeks of their color.
Her hands are gnarled and her limbs
drawn almost out of human semblance.
There are streaks of gray in her black
hair. Her eyes retain 4 tlc of their
Did fire. She is still a c, student of
affairs as mirrored forth in newspa-
pers. The disease which fetters her is
articulate rheumatism.

In the main reading room the attend
ant occupies box in the center of the
space, so as to be easily accessible from
all parts of the room. Around this the
desks for readers are grouped In con.
cenric circles.
These are the principal rooms of the
main floor. There are, besides, offices
Tor the librarian. catalogue and copy
right rooms and records, special libra
ries and periodical rooms. In the base
ment below are rooms for clerical
work, binding, repairing, receiving,
printing, packing, and mailing, and
storerooms.
To reach the second story it is neces-
sary to return to the main entrance
hall and mount the broad staircases.
On this floor there are exhibition halls
for rare books, curios, etchings, art
works, engravings, photographs and
the like. OF these the library already
possesses an extensive collection, un-
seen for years because of lack of space
for display.
In the attic is a restaurant and some
minor offices. Throughout the whole
building the decoration has not been
stinted. Indeed, the one criticism as vet
passed Is a too free use of it. All. how
ever, is Of high order, and a profusion
of beauties may well be pardoned. The
total cost of the building was $6,35O, 900.

of opposition and obstacles of every sort.
Few careers have been more romantic.
A beautiful girl, she was besieged with
admirers, and might have made many
brilliant marriages. At one time vice
president of the United States and two
United States Senators sought hei
hand. But she disdained all offers.
She had her mission to fulfill, and In.
exorably pursued 1t until misfortune
and illness finally showed her the fal.
lacy of her course.
When 1t was known that Phoebe Cou.
sins had entered the law department
of Washington University there was
no surprise. st. Louis had become fully
acquainted with her bent. Her friends
knew that her years of reigning belle

Casey's son, took Mr.. Pelz's place and
carried ON the work of the interior dec
oratlon. The death of Gen. Casey be-
fore the completion Of the building
gave to Mr.. Green the task of finishing
his labors. But through these numer-
Gus changes the consistency of the de-
sign has been maintained. Each new
architect has contented himself with
carrying on the work of his predeces-
sor instead of undoing it, and the build
Ing shows no evidence of Its checkered
architectural career.
The general form of the structure Is
rectangular. From the center OF the
pile rises the dome OF the rotunda but
aside from this the stern rectangular
ity is almost unbroken. The four cor
ners of the rectangle are emphasized
by payilions. and the entrance hall, in
the center of the west side, Is of the
same form.
Within the rectangle the building has
the shape of n Greek cross, the center
of which Is marked by an octagonal ro-
tunda or general reading-room. The
sternness of the general outline Is re-
moved. however, by the profusion of
decorative detail Within the decora-
tion is lavish, but everywhere governed
by artistic conception.
Where the Books Are Kept.
One arm of the Greek cross which
forms the inner plan of the building is
occupied by the entrance hall. The
three others are devoted to the stack
rooms. In these facilities are provid-
ed for shelving 100000 volumes, with
possibilities of further increasing that
capacity to 100000 volumes without
encroaching upon the reading or work
ing rooms. This total Is about twice
that Of the library containing the larg-
est collection of volumes in the world
the National Library Of France. Ele-
vators and pneumatic tubes and other
mechanical carrying devices and tele-
phone are arranged so that the attend
ants In the stack rooms may be inform
ed as to what is wanted In the central
reading room and forward the books
to the attendant there. There Is also
a tunnel between the library and the
Capitol, a quarter Of mile away, so
that books and papers can be conveyed
rapidly from one building to the other
without extra handling.

Ready for the Books.


In the completion of the building of
the Congressional Library one of the
greatest works of the century has been
accomplished. This magnificent build
ing Is now ready to be occupied, and
when the library of Congress is estab.
lished therein 1t will have the finest
home of any library in the world.
1t Is twenty-four years since the idea
of the building was conceived and ten
years since its erection was actually
commenced by the tearing down of the
seventy or more buildings which occu-
pied its site. This palace for books is
monument to American advancement
In building design and art 1t Is strict.
ly American. American architects and
designers, American builders and
American artists have done all the
work upon it. Such shortcomings as
may be found In it are to be laid at
their doors, but to them is also due the
originality Of conception and excel
lence of execution which mark it out
among other buildings of its kind in
this country.
At more than one time there has
seemed possibility that much of the
beauty of the design would be lost
through changes in the arrangement or
In detail. In the ten years consumed In
Its construction the library has passed
through numerous vicissitudes. John
l.. Smitmeyer and Paul J. Pelz, the
original architects, were superseded
by Brigadier General Thos. l.. Casey,
who employed Mr.. Pelz to make the
plans under the direction Of b. r.
