there are over 100000 bricks in the build
ing.
Gen. Meigs took liberties with bricks
that no other architect had ever attempt
ed. He not only used bricks exclusively
for the building, but he used them in
constructing the stairs throughout the
building. In the matter of stair-bulldinx
bricks have often been used for the rails
er, but the step has always been of iron
wood or slate or stone. In the pension
office both raiser and step are of brick.
AS brick building, therefore, pure and
simple, 1t is unique in construction, out
side of the fact that it is the largest ex-
clusively brick building In the world.

FOOD IN THE ARCTIC.
Birds Have No Difficulty in
Finding Sustenance Amid
Snow.

The number of birds that 90
to the Arctic regions to breed
is vast beyond conception. !"
They go not by thousands, but
by millions, to rear their young
on the tundra. The cause
which attracts them is because
nowhere in the world does ma
ture provide at the same time
and in the same place "such a
lavish prodigality of food"
That the barren swamp of the
tundra should yield a food sup
ply SO great as to tempt birds
to make journeys of thousands
of miles to rear their young in
a land of plenty, only to be
found beyond the Arctic Circle,
seems incredible. The vege-
tation consists of cranberry,
cloudberry and crowberry
bushes. Forced by the perpe
tual sunshine of the Arctic sum
mer, these bear enormous
crops of fruit. But the crop
is not ripe until the middle and
end of the Arctic summer, and
if the fruit eating birds had to
wait until it was ripe they
would starve, for they arrive
on the very day of the melting
of the snow. But each year
the snow descends on this i'm
mense crop OF ripe fruit before
the birds have time to gather
it. 1t is then preserved beneath
the snow perfectly fresh and
pure, and the melting of the
snow discloses the bushes with
the unconsumed last years
crop hanging on them. or ly-
ing, ready to be eaten, on the
ground. The frozen meal
stretches across the breadth Of
Asia. 1t never decays and is
accessible the moment the
snow melts. Ages have taught
the birds that they have only
to fly to the Arctic Circle to
find such a store of "crystalliz-
ed foods" as will last them till
the bushes are once more fore
ed into bearing by the perpet-
ual sunlight. The same heat
which frees the fruit brings in
to being the most prolific IN
sect life in the world; the mos
quito swarms on the tundra.

There are not a few who will miss him
out OF the railroad business. 1t will not
seem natural not to look to him as one of

people, among whom he had a wide ac-
quaintance, and many a manager has
been known TO. take his company fifty
or 100 miles out of the way just to go
over Jim Shaw's road" This Is what

pany have been negotiating with Mr..
Shaw for some time, looking to his taking
an interest In the district agency with

ed TO do so. He will, no doubt. be fully
as popular and efficient In the life insur-
ance line as he was as a passenger agent,

Immediately went to the front of the
shooting clientage of the association, win
ming at its annual shoot first place, and
capturing the gold medal which carried
with it the championship of the state. In
1891 he came near capturing the prize for
the second time, being second, beaten by
the narrowest of margins. In 1892 he did
little shooting. He had formed a con-
nection with the Equitable Life Insurance
Company of this city, and the nature and
demands of his work left him but little,
if any, time to indulge his shooting hobby.
After years labor in Richmond he had
made such a success that the company
named ordered him north to act as general
agent in this city.
LAS soon as he reached New York he
became a member of several of the shoot
ing clubs. These were largely New Jersey
organiZati lions, the members of which shot
at inanimate targets almost wholly. He
soon reached his old form in this work,
and was placed on the first team of the
Boiling Springs Rod and Gun club, Of
Rutherford, N. ]. This owing to the fact
that the record of his shooting in club
contests showed that his average was
among the high ones of the club. In the
contests of the New Jersey Trap Shooters
League in 1894 he came out third. In 1895
ne determined TO Try MS manu- al 1--we Dlt u
shooting and with that idea in view join
ed the Carteret Gun Club, in short time
showing he was equal to the best men of
that club, and last spring he won the
Presidents cup. Among those contending
for this prize were such crack amateurs
as L. T. Duryea, Fred Hoey, George Work,
and w. A. II. Stafford. In the initial con-
test for this trophy McAlpin started in
badly, missing five out of his first thir-
teen birds His nerve and skill combined
pulled him through winner at the end.
cit is not generally known, but 1t is a
fact nevertheless, that McAlpin is one of
the best all-round sportsmen in the coun-
try. During his residence at Savannah he
was looked upon in the south as one of the
best of shots with shotgun, rife, or re-
volver, In cavalry drill, fitting particular
", he stood among the best six of his
company; while with the Georgia Hussars
a member of it's first team of five. He was
considered as an amateur yachtsman
among the best, and in a stiff breeze could
hold his own in the management of his
craft with any sailor man that ever took
reef In a mainsail in a squall Soon after
making New York his home he became a
member of the Seventh regiment and in
its games has proved he Is one of the best
of its athletes. Last year McAlpin and
Sergeant Joscelyn led all others in volley
