the architect, by the advice of the pub
lie printer, has paid particular atten-
ton to light and ventilation. Light is
supplied by thousand windows, many
of which face a spacious inner court,
with additional ventilation from a
complete exhaust system. Heat is
supplied by the latest system of di-
rect-indirect steam.
Alphabetically the building is ono
of the finest specimens of the steel
skeleton class. The metal framing,
which represents a weight of 5000
tons, is completely covered by fire.
proof material. The brick is of the
best variety, including a large guam
tity of the white enameled kind, to be
used for dadoes around the room walls
and for lining stair and elevator wells
and toilet rooms. The edifce will con-
tain $4,000 square feet of granolithic
and asphalt pavement and 14,50O yards
of concrete All the "baseboards" will
be cast iron, and this metal will also
be employed for door and window
frames. The roof framing is of steel.
and on this will be placed covering of
glazed tile, to produce a harmonious
color scheme. The building will be
seven stories, with storage rooms in
the basement.
Lieut.. John Stephen Sewell, of the
United States engineer corps, who has
charge of the construction of the new
printing Office, reports that it will be
finished during the present year, and
within the authorized limit cost. The
last sentence is powerful argument
for those who advocate the erection
of all public buildings under the SUI
pervision of army engineers and de.
nounce the employment of profess
sional contractors.
Several years ago an agitation was
started to do away with the govern
ment printing Office. There is no
doubt that lots of the stuff printed at
public expense is not worth the paper
wasted upon it; but the critics fail to
take cognizance of the fact that if the
same stuff were given out to outside
printers, under government con-
tract, it would cost fully rs per cent.
more. As long as congressman will
talk, they will insist upon seeing their
names in print, and government sci
enlist and experimenters consider
themselves entitled to a general circu-
lation of their bulletins. A great
country like ours cannot afford to be

CONGRESS OF MICROBES.
an London Scientific Institu.
aon Contains Enough BacilH
to Kill Everybody.

rarely guarded and tended in one
room in London there are enough mi
crobes to kill every man, woman and
child IN the world. The room is in
.ne Institute of Preventive Medicine
building, situated in one of the most
aensely populated districts of the big
city.
The microbes are there in thou
sands. millions, and even billions, and
they are just yearning to be at their
1eai work upon human beings. They
represent almost every known disease
ana are classified and kept in bottles,
TED and developed, and surrounded by
an atmosphere best suited to them,
ana they are nursed with as much
Z care and tenderness as is given to the
1alrest and rarest of flowers.
The microbe esta blishment is main
tanned for the purpose of enabling
medical men to become familiar with
these mighty atoms of destruction.
mere they have every opportunity to
make close study of the precise
character, appearance and disposition
OF the different bacilli; to discover, in
1act, everything that can be discov-
cred with a view to the prevention
ana cure of diseases that are caused
by microbes. And one can easily con-
celve what a fascinating study bacilli
afford.
An uniformed stranger might
walk through the incubator room of
the institute without dreaming for
moment that he was in hot bed
OF disease. He would more proba oily
imagine that he was in novel kind
OF bakery, where small bottles of va
rlously colored fluids were stored to
be in an even temperature, for around
the room are arranged numerous
ovenlike incubators, with glass doors,
through which one can perceive the
long glass tubes containing the
bacilli, whose way of egress from
the tubes is barred by nothing more
impenetrable than small wads of cot
ton. There, quietly, almost invisibly,
reposes power great enough to
sweep the earth of human life.
And the bacilli demand the 'greatest
attention, the most delicate feeding.
Almost every different kind of mi
crobe has particular likes and dis
likes, which have to be carefully
studied. One kind of bacilli likes to
dine of horses blood, another off
broth, while a third will touch moth
ing but peculiar kind of jelly, and
SO on right through the list of dis
eases represented, though, luckily for
the catering department of the estab-
lishment, a few agree in having vry
similar tastes.-Chicago American.

1t is regretable that in the study
of psychological phenomena, and
more particularly of those manifesto
tions, real or imagined, that are known
under the general name of hypnotism,
that experimentation has not been
carried on more extensively with ami
mails. For, though results obtained
with them would necessarily fall far
short of those reached with human be-
ings, they would nevertheless be free
from any possible conscious or uncon-
scious collision between the patient
and the operator.

The number of presses in use is
127, the output of which is 100000
impressions per day of eight hours
Among these presses is wonderful
piece of machinery, capable OF print
ing cards on both sides from web
of bristol board at the rate of 65.-
600 cards per hour. Equally interest
ing are four envelope presses, whose
output is 10000 printed envelopes

The total horsepower of the en-

The sizes of the electric generators
are one of 300 kilowatts, one of 1877
kilowatts and two of 600 kilowatts.
There are PSI electric motors in use,
having an aggregate of s27 horse
power. The quantity of type used is
about 100000 pounds, or $50 tons.
The aggregate expenses of the office
per wear are 100000, nearly three
fourths of which is paid to en-
ployes for labor.
The quantity of raw material used
is almost beyond comprehension. In
one year the Office consumed 5000
tons of paper; $4,000 pounds of glue;
1000 packs of gold leaf for titles
and decorative purposes; $4,000

Number of pages of matter issued in
one year is nearly 100000.
Under the management of Mr.. Pal
mer the government printing Office
has maintained its reputation of be-
ing the best-managed print shop in
the world. One Of the striking illus
trations of the capabilities of the Of
fee for executing orders-and one of
which the officials may be justly
proud-was the printing of the mes
sage of President Mckinley trans,
hitting the report of the naval court
of inquiry upon the destruction of
the battleship Maine in Havana
harbor. This publication consisted
of 2es pages of text, "a full-page
engravings and one Autograph in
colors; and although the originals
of the illustrations were not in the
possession of the Office until three
o'clock p. IN. of March %, and the
manuscript of the text was not re-
ceived until six p. m. of the same
day, complete printed copies, in pa
per covers, were placed upon the
desks of senator's and representa-

Isaiah calls out: "Fear not! I am

prophets and apostles cannot keep
still. They make the welkn ring
with shouting and halleluiahs.
I look again, and I see the gallery

Latimer, sure enough! He would not
apologize for the truth he preached,
and so he died, the night before
swinging from the bedpost in perfect
glee at the thought of emancipation.
Who is that army of 6,666? They are
the Theban legion who died for the
faith. Here is larger host in mag
nifcent array, $4,000, who persisted
for Christ in the prosecutions of
Diocletian. Yonder is family group,
Felicitas of Rome and her children.
While they were dying for the faith
she stood encouraging them. One
son was whipped to death by thorns;
another was flung from q rock; an
other was beheaded. A. last the
mother became martyr. There
they are together, family group in

ages for us and our glorifed kindred
for us-shall we give up the fight and
die? No, Son Of God, who didst die to
save us! No, We angels, whose wings

whose arms are outstretched to receive
us! No; we will never surrender!
Sure must fight II I would reign,
Be faithful to my Lord,
And bear the cross, endure the pain
Supported by thy word.
Thy saints in all this glorious war
Shall conquer though they die:
They see the triumph from afar
And seize 1t with their eye.
When that illustrious day shall rise
And all thine armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies
The glory shall be thine.
NY hearers, shall we die in the arens
or rise to join our friends in the gall

dying in the hospital rose up in bed the

His attendants put him back on his pill

"Here!" "Oh, heard the roll call Of
Heaven, and was only answering to
