There's a fearful muss up around the
Capitol just now, as Elliott Woods and
big force of hired men have torn up the
plaza and considerable additional scenery
in order to construct the subways connect
Ing the Capitol with the Senate and House
office buildings. The contract for the work
calls for it's completion-and the restoration
of everything above ground to its original
stately the time the real people begin to
drift into town for the session. Long rows
of arc lights hanging from wire cables
over the excavations indicate that the con-
tractor realizes he's got to hump some in
order to turn the trick within the limit set.
Mr.. Woods thinks twill be done, however.
and TO lots of folks this is just the same
as if the thing had eventuated.
The subway is to be a dandy. No chances
are being taken on some unacclimated
legislator annexing a cold in the head and
infiicting his coughs and sniftles upon his
colleagues. From the inside out the sub
ways will be constructed of one-nch fac
ing of cement, fifteen-inch wall of con-
crete four layers of waterproofing and
then a four-inch wall of hollow terra Gotta
blocks, set vertically, so as to serve as
series of drains and carry off rain seepage
and such. Each subway will be absolutely
dry and the greatest sort of care Is being
given to this feature.
For Those Who Can Walk.
The sidewalk in the subways will be
seven feet wide running the full length OF
the tunnel and terminating in platforms in
each station. In addition each subway
has sufficient room for narrow-gauge
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-09-15

track on which will be run ordinary trucks
to transfer documents, etc, to and from
the Capitol. A track for passenger cars
may be put in, although this particular fea-
ture Is in a rather haZy state just now.
Anyhow, the sidewalk will permit those
members of Congress who retain powers of
locomotion to dash back and forth between
the Capitol and the office buildings without
showing their noses above ground.
Several rather interesting problems have
been encountered during the subway con-
struction, such as the DETECTING and carry
ing across the roof of the subway of the
thirty-inch high-pressure water main which
runs diagonally through the Senate end of
the Capitol grounds and serves the resi-
dents of Southeast Washington. number
of sewers draining the Capitol grounds
have also been encountered
At Delaware avenue and street north
east there is a tWentyinch water main,
twelve-lnch gas main, four car tracks, six
telephone ducts, old sewer and the
surface drainage, all to be arranged to
carry across the roof of the subway.
Just Think of This.
The work on the Capitol is nearing COM
pletion. Twas unusually heavy this year.
The outside of the big dome was gone
over with a magnifying glass and painted
with some sort of compound that stretches
and has a contempt for weather. Inside, in
the Senate wing the rooms of the COM
mittees on interstate commerce, privileges
and election claims, conference post office
Vice President and sergeant-at- arms were
painted and de corated and at the House
end the rooms of the committees on In
dian affairs, private land claims and labor
received similar treatment, The folding
ROOM document room and other business
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-09-15

quarters around the Capitol also have been
gone over.
In the Supreme Court everything paint
able has been painted, and the robing room
has been given special attention. The work
certainly should be fine as it is being done
by the artst-the reporter had his name
all written down on a slip of paper, but
can't find the slip-who restored the Fati-
can frescoes a couple of years ago.
One of the most important pieces of work
done at the Capitol during the summer
was the installation of a new and big
exhaust fan over the Senate chamber 1t
is thought this will materially improve the
ventilation, particularly on days when
something thick and heavy. like Browns
vile railroad rates, is under discussion.
Hot air has tendency to ascend all right
but some varieties need assistance
The usual annual repairs to the roof of
the building have been made. and SO far
as anybody knows 1t doesn't leak. If 1t
does, every body round the building hopes
Senator Hale won't happen to be standing
under the drippings. He gets real peevisb
sometimes.
Ball-Bearing Chairs.
The annual housekeeping of the corri-
doris and the 400 rooms for office commit
tee and storage purposes and the $40 win
dows the $50 doorways and the 14O fire
places has been finished. In the House
chamber all of the 400 mahogany desks
have been scraped and refinished and the
400 chairs furnished with new ball-bearing
castOrS. These are real novel, and no
mistake They make the chairs run so
smoothly that a senator or representative
by holding to the chair and weighing
his legs can glide out of the chamber, down
the corridor, make a call on friend and
return without once arising. These chairs
fill long-felt want, and it is thought they
will prove extremely popular.

prevent the downfall Of burning powder,
but also to completely avert any danger
from such sparkling of the elevator rails.
The principle of the new. hoist is the
pneumatic carrier found in most of the
great department stores. which swiftly ana
noiselessly conveys money from the clerk
who makes a sale to the cashier in some
remote part of the store. This looks like
a very tiny conveyor when it is under
stood that the problem before the ordnance
officers is the raising of considerably more
than half ton of ammunition at great
speed. But it has been found that the
same principle has been successfully APP
piled to the conveyance of mails, and al
though in that case the load was carried
only on horizontal plane. there was every
reason to believe that the air pressure
could be made sufficiently high to lift the
desired load of ammunition.
Accordingly the ordnance bureau has
evolved complete plans for such pneumatic
elevator and company has already been
found perfectly willing to undertake the
construction of the elevator and to guaran-
tee its successful performance. The feature
of the apparatus Is theinclosure in a seam
less heavy brass tube of the ammunition
carrier. so that it will be absolutely impoSsi-
Bile for spark to enter. The carrier will
deliver the shot and the powder charge
separately directly at the breech of the
turret gun: indeed, 1t is possible that the
device may be SO perfected as to include
an automatic pneumatic hammer. which
will considerably increase the possible rate
of fire per minute. Altogether the ordnance
officers very hopeful that they have
found a complete remedy for 30 per cent Of
the danger in the turrets from accidental
ignition of the charges of powder.
The Peril of the Indiana.
The impression appears to prevail that the
battleship Indiana recently had very mar
row escape from total destruction and the
crew from the loss of their lives as the re-
suit of the spontaneous combustion of the
coal in one of her bunkers next to one of
the largest magazines in the ship. Expert
enced officers. however, look, If not with In
difference. certainly with tranquility, upon
the incident. The reason is that 1t clearly

ample between the signal given in the

different in the old days, when the only
guide to the condition of the coal in the
bunkers was the feeling Of the outside skin
at intervals.
One officer recalled an experience he had
with bunker which by rare good luck was
not placed against a magazine. Because of
that fact, perhaps 1t was not examined as
often as the others So 1t happened that
