CAPITOL CHINNEYS
Nearly Hundred Scattered Over tbe
Big Roof

The chimneys of the Capitol are one nf
the unique features of the city. Distribut
ed over the large area of roof which covers
the Dig structure are nearly a hundred
chlmneys. They were built in the davs
when heating was secured from open CRATE
fires and they have always been the source
or much annoyance. Strangely enough
although the Capitol stands on a high hill
and Is surrounded by a great park, these
chimneys have been noted chiefly for their
failure to draw and whenever A high
and shifting wind has prevailed there has
been tendency for them to fill committee
rooms with a volume of smoke and to scat
ter wood ashes over the floor and furniture
1t was to reduce the annoyance arising
from this defect that camel coal was in
troduced. but that could not remedy the
|. smoky features of the chimneys In the
old days when there plain furniture
and little frescofng the dust and smoke
were not SO destructive as they became
when more elegance crept into the COM
mfttee rooms of the Senate end of the Cap
itol
For many years the architect of the
Capitol struggled with this problem and
each chimney was experimental on sepa-
rateiy, and now they represent a great
riety in height and general appearance be-
cause of the patented fixtures with which
they have been provided. By one means or
another the difficulty with the chimneys
has very largely been met, and today they
are comparatively under control One in
genious device has lately been introduced
which effectively prevents the wind from
blowing down the chimneys. 1t is con-
triVance whereby strong currents of wind
blowing down galvanized iron pipes sur
mounting the brick chimney is allowed to
escape before it enters the brick chimney
and this device has corrected some of the
most troublesome cases. Gradually the
Capitol has had furnace heat introduced in
nearly all its parts, but there some
places where open CRATE fires are depended
on TO warm rooms. AS rule the open
CRATES are retained as luxuries rather than
necessities.

Mr.. SibIey on the Increasing Volume

The free silver people are much disturbed
over the attitude assumed with regard to
the money question by Representative
Sibley of Pennsylvania, who was heretofore
one of their chief apostles of free silver.
Those who heard his declaration at the
Newlands dinner, though there was some
ambiguity about it, generally agreed that
the drift Of 1t was that the silver question
was being crowded out of its important
place by the abundant production of gold
and that there would In the future be a
still larger increase in the volume of gold
production.
