riously hampered by inadequate space.
Long ago it became impossible to make
proper disposition of specimens, so
that year after year large andvaluable
collections are packed away in rented
buildings. Consequently, they are not
half catalogued; and even those which
are catalogued are inaccessible.
These conditions have been placed
before congress by the officials of the
museum, and at the last session an APP
preparation of $4,000 was made for the
preparation of plans for a new build
ing, which must cost not more than
$1,5O0,OOO. The plans have been laid
before congress, and the appropria-
ton will probably be made before the
adjournment on March 4. The plans
contemplate the erection of a rectan-
gular building 1876 feet front, 345 feet
deep, and so feet high, with four floors
and about 100000 feet of floor space.
1t is the purpose of the officials of
the museum and the Smithsonian to
make out of the proposed appropria-
ton just one-half of the building,
and afterwards complete it with a
subsequent appropriation which ne
cessity will require. The fireproof
building which the service needs
will cost not less than 100000; but
the congress always takes two bites
at cherry of that size. The one
half which it is proposed to erect
will present the appearance of a
completed structure.
So much of the building as is now
proposed will be used for storage
purposes, primarily, because it is alb
solutely necessary that the valuable
collections now packed away in
rented buildings shall be removed to
fireproof rooms. The losses which
are liable to occur by fire would be
irreparable. Some of the rarest of
specimens of Yuma Indian life, rel
les of cliff jewellers, of mound build
ers and of other prehistoric Ameri-
cans are in constant danger of de-
struction, and their loss would be
beyond the possibility of repair by
duplication.
The National museum is of three
distinct functions, as described by
it's secretary. First, it is a museum
of record. 1t preserves vast
amount of scientific knowledge; sec
ond, it is a museum of research, be-
cause it's collections are arranged
on scientific lines, and constitute an
everlasting stimulus to scientific in
vestigation; and third, it is an edu-
cational museum, illustrating by
specimens every kind of natural OBJ
iect, every manifestation of human
thought and activity.
The plans of the proposed building
have been made after careful and
thorough study of all existing mu-
seums in the world. 1t is claimed by
the officials of the museum that the
proposed building will be superior to
any building in the world for the
purposes for which it is intended.
The development of this scientific
bureau is of great value to all of
our educational institutions; and it
will some day be Il part of the Ma
tional university which Washington
recommended and which the con-
gress will some day create.
Moreover, the building will be an
additional attraction on the Mall.
