frontage of the avenue could have been
bought for comparatively little money.
The congress recently appropriated
So, 100000 for the erection of munic-
ipal building for the District of Co.
lumbia, and specified that it shall be
built on the south side of Pennsylvania
avenue, one block from the treasury
department. The post office depart
ment is now located on that thorough
fare, and hereafter when appropria-
tions are made for hall of records, the
department of commerce and other
great public needs, they will be erected
on contiguous ground. 1t takes long
time to build any city, and particularly
a national capital.
The botanical gardens are located
on the Mall, directly opposite the cap
itol grounds; and they are bounded
on the north by Pennsylvania avenue
and on the south by the Mall. The gar
dens have a frontage of three blocks
on the avenue, and thence westward
the business buildings occupy the av-
enue frontage.
Driving westward along the Mall we

I IKE A DEMON grip has crossed our

country, leaving behind scores of
- physical wrecks.
Victims of catarrh of the head, ca
tarrh of the throat, catarrh of the
lungs, catarrh of the stomach, catarrh
of the kidneys, catarrh of the pelvic
organs, are to be counted by hundreds
of thousands. Grip is epidemic ca
tarrh, and sows the seed of chronic ca
tarrh within the system.
This is so true that few grip suffer-
ers are able to make complete recov-
cry until they have used Peruna.
Never in the history of medicine has
a remedy received such unqualified and
universal eulogies as Peruna,

come to the Washington monument,

You should take time to enter the
National museum and also the Smith
sonian institution. In 1916 an act of
congress was approved which found
ed the Smithsonian, and out OF that
institution the National museum has
grown to great proportions. Smith
son not only gave money, but also
collection of curios which formed the
nucleus of the great collection which
now stands unrivaled in the world for
magnifcence and variety. There was
private society hhoNh do WV -'"
tional Institute which gave to the
Smithsonian an excellent collection,
some time about 1850. Then, in 1876,
the greater part of the material gath
cred for the centennial exposition at
Philadelphia was given to the Smith
sonian, which expanded that institu-
ton beyond the capacity of the orig
inal building, so that in 1879 con-
gress appropriated $25o,ooo for the
building now known as the National
museum.
In the building which was yet un-
adorned, but under roof, the inaugural
ball was given on the night of March
4. 1881. when Garfield was inaugurated.
This building and the Smithsonian,
with all of their store rooms, stables
and sheds, make use of 23s,6s9 square
feet of floor space; and that is not half
enough. For lack of space most de-

fense of the capital in 1861; and where
now are located the buildings of the
federal fish commission. To the right,
as we drive westward, is the railroad
depot where Garfield was shot; and
TO the left is the long wharfage where
hundreds of thousands of soldiers en-

congress has recently made a pre-

building, also to be located on Penn
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1903-03-20

that year after year large and valuable
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 thar
$1,500,000. The plans have been lid
before congress, and the appropria-
ton will probably be made before the
adjournment on March 4. The plans
contemplate the erection of rectan-
gular building 4s6 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 freproof
building which the service needs
will cost not less than $3,O00,000; but
the congress always takes two bites
at a 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
freproof 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 dwellers, 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 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
ject, 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 1t
will some day be 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.

WASHINGTON'S MALL.
Most Attractive Public Reservation

Proposed New National Museum
Building VIII Add Impressive-

Especial Washington Letter.l

. HERE is a public reservation ex-
tending from the capitol to the
white house, and it is called
"The Mall" There is well kept boul-
evard more than a mile and half in
length, because of its devious windings
through the powered park, although
the direct distance from the white
house to the capitol is only a mile.
1t was the purpose of the designer of
the city that this reservation should
be kept guarded from the public, so
that the presidents might have pri-
vate driveway to the Legislative halls;
but that idea did not long prevail, and
THE Mall" has always been opened
to the uses of the public.
This great reservation is in South
Washington, and cannot be seen from
Pennsylvania avenue, because that
thoroughfare is lined with business
houses; very few of them worthy of
the situation, and substantially all of
them too small and insignificant in
appearance to be located along the
grandest avenue in the world.
When William NJ. Springer, of Illi-
nois, was in congress he advocated and
urged the purchase of the entire south
side of Pennsylvania avenue by the
federal government, for the purpose
of erecting thereon handsome and sub
stantial public buildings. The idea did
not then prevail, but it is gradually
becoming popular. 1t can be safely
predicted that within another decade
the government will make that pur-
chase, although the cost will be tre-
mendous. When it was urged by Mr..
