A MODEL OF THE CAPITOL.

"S066 VT SSAVtt w.
Washington Post.
Plans That Will Perfect the Finest Government
Government Building in the World.
On the attic floor of the capitol, be.
hind doors which open only to the art
lists and the knock Of Superintendent
OF the Capitol. Elliott Woods, is being
constructed the first accurate model
of the proposed enlarged capitol. For
several weeks Emil Garret, the French
artist, said to be the finest plaster
modeler in the United States, has
been at work on the model. 1t is not
for the qualification OF a personal
whim, but for the coming Congress
that the artist and his four or five as
sistants are laboring. When Congress
convenes the work for which was ap-
propriated $1,000 will be ready to be
placed before them, and they will see
for the first time the ideas which Su.
perintendent Wood has had in mind
when he was asked for the extension
of the main portion Of the capitol.
For years the enlargement OF the
capitol has beer agitated, and, in fact,
the wings were constructed, it is said,
with the idea OF extending the main
building. At present the stately dome
sits awkwardly on the eastern edge Of
the structure, and not symmetrically
in the center, as the new addition
would make it. Congress at its last
session authorized Mr.. Woods to have
constructed an exact model of the
proposed addition. 1t is this work
that is now being done by Emile Gar.
ret. In order TO show off the improve
ment it was necessary to make model
of the whole capitol. The original
drawing and cuts of the building were
put at the disposal of the artist, and
now line the walls of the sanctum sane.
forum. From these, with molds and
chisels, by the utmost preciseness u
little capitol has been fashioned. One
of the delicate features about the mod
ell is the construction of the dome
with its correct curve. Lately pieces
of the model were scattered about the
room, all not yet having been put in
place on the framework. Every col.
um OF the dome is ready to be placed
in its position. with every line Of its
capital worked out in detail. Every
window is marked off, and the E Piur.
ibns Unum" above which the Goddess
of Liberty rises can be read with ease.
The addition stands out in its grand
eur. The location of every one OF the
proposed ninety rooms is shown, and
every column is ready to take its place.
After the model has served it's pur-
pose to show the legislators what is
proposed to be done, it will probably
be sent to ST. Louis as one of the ex-
exhibits at the Louisiana exposition,
and may thereafter 90 to the congres.

North American country than ours by
q derivative OF it's name; as a Canad.
ian, Venezuelan, a Cuban. a Boliv-
ian. That leaves the term "Ameri-
can" to designate one from the United
States.
Another thing quite pertinent to
the matter is, that We will ourselves
determine the name by which we
shall be called. We have made
&" American" the term by which our
people and our products are designated
abroad. No European who comes in
contact with either but understands
that the word refers to the United
States and not to any other country Of
the Western Hemisphere.

CHALLENGER REPORTS.
Full Set Presented TO HautIciI Preparatory
School by Royal Geographical Stc'sty.

The Royal Geogra phical society. through,
it's president, Sir John Murray, Of Chdr-
lenger fame. has presented to the Nau-
tical Preparatory school a complete set
OF the Challenger reports. These books
are a full and exhaustive record Of the
cruise Of III. NJ. 3. Challenger. which
was sent out from England by the Royal
society under government auspices for a
four years cruise OF submarine investiga-
tion.
The books consist Of 81 huge quartc
volumes. and their purchase price would
he $500. They will be placed in the
scientific library Of the cadet ship Young
America. and will prove valuable source
OF information to the faculty and cadets
The Young america is 10 be provided
with deep sea dredges and other sub
marine apparatus. so that all species oi
marine life from diminutive giobigerina to
magnificent sicilious sponges. corals. star
fishes. sea urchins, deep sea deposits. etc.
can be brought TO the surface for exami-
nation by the cadets.
The cruise OF tho Challenger has
brought TO light more informal tion con-
cerning the depths OF the sea than has
ever been collected before or since. In
its tour OF the world II made soundings
as deep as four statute miles, and the
scientists aboard proclaimed to the world
thousands Of hitherto undiscovered kinds
Of life. Incidentally the Challenger re-
ports many details concerning the lost
