Railroad Patents.

A single firm Of Patent Lawyers, c
A. Snow & Co., Of Washington, D. c..
have in the last year procured $3.50
patents for their clients, many Of them
for rejected inventions. c. c. Snow
& Co. have been accused Of railroad
ing patents through the Patent Office,
but they insist that this locomotion is
better than ox-carting them, for by the
latter process the inventor often dies
before he gets his patent.

Twenty-eight committee rooms viii be
made out of the space occupied by the Ii

same number for the House
Gangs OF workmen are now busy con-
yeying brick and mortar into the interior
of the building. while the masons, car
penters, bricklayers, and plasterers are
remodeling that wing of the building. In
the rotunda and in the basement under
the rotunda are large piles of boards. In
front of tbs Capitol is a donkey engine
hoisting brick and mortar, and through
the Fotunda IS a runway over which 1t IS
carried The remodeling is being done on
a most substantial scale Walls are being
erected two feet thick. with arches of
vitrihed brick. Three floors in this wing
will take the place OF the one floor and
:
floors will be devoted TO committee rooms
and the third TO reference library
The new rooms are too far away from
the chambers of the Senate and House to
prove attractive 10 such committees as
those on Finance. Ways and Means, Mini
tary, Naval Affairs, Postoffice, Foreign
Affairs. etc. which have rooms adjoining
the chambers, but will be occupied
by the House and Senate committees now
in the basement or terrace, particularly
those in the terrace. In the latter part of
the building there are at present such
committees as these On Mines and Mn
| ing Merchant Marine and Fisheries,
! University of the United States. Indian
Depredations, Expenditures in the Agri-
! cultural Department, etc. Most of the
! committees in the terrace have. meetings
| only once or twice a session. They were
apparently organized simply for the pIr-
pose of providing committee chairman

been made for the use of the rooms these
committees will yacdte in the terrace,
but with scme fourteen rooms at the dis
posaI of the Senate and the same num-
Der for the House, il is highly probable
that both bodies viii create committees
to fill the rooms.
Both chambers are undergoing reno
vation. the carpets being taken up and
the desks cleaned ard oyerhauled. As
