IT Is somewhat surprising, In

with such grand Iiberality upon all
sorts Of public institutions, that the
Smithsonian Institution, one Of the
most useful of all our great muse
ans, should be actually handicap
ped for want Of funds 1t is a fact
shat this great institution is really
somewhat cramped for means, the
annual report OF its directors, re-
Gently issued, showing that, while
N 1896 the sam OF 81 900 was con-
sidered hardly adequate to care for
100 specimens, the same amount
was all that was available last year
70 care for 20,925 specimens. 1t is
probably scarcely realized how great
has been the growth OF this great
national museum within the past
few years, so that now it is much
an need Of more floor space and
more funds to provide for its care.
Being a special trust of the national
government, it has probably been
regarded as already provided for,
and doubtless congress should see
Chat it receives a larger share of the
public funds. Still, that does not
necessarily put it beyond the range
OF private beneiaction. When it is
remembered that the Smithsonian
gas originally the gift Of an Eng

quarters of million dollars to
