Library Of Congress Inspected.
Last evening the party was conveyed by
way Of brilliantly lighted thoroushfares
to the Congressional Library in two big
sightseeing automobiles.
Upon arrival there no time was lost in
going over the large building and taking
in everything there was TO be seen.
The Orientalia exhibit on the second
floor attracted them, and much time was
spent in deeiphering the ancient manu-
serips Of their forefathers.
AS the sons OF Nippon were stroling
about the gallery above the main reading
room attention was called 10 the fTisze
principal nations Of the world One OF
the little yellow men. noting the absence
Of the japanese emblem and figure, re-
marked in good English to the reporter:
In fifty years our Japan will be repre-
sented up there"
Just at the time the japanese were GO
ing through the Library numbers Of
American tourists and sightseers were in
the building. They took more interest in
the little yellow men than in the sur
roundings.
Mr. T. Kurushima. one Of the party
who speaks English. was loud ia his
praises Of the building
Nothing Like IL at Home.
I'VE have large libraries in Tokyo. but
none that can equal this in beauty. Your
mosaic work. SO abundant here, is con-
spicuously absent in Japan. And these
paintings and sculptures are unequaled
by any have yet seen.
"Of course. we have not yet visited Eu-
rope hardly think an work of art
there can surpass these"
When questioned as to the gene. con
sensus Of opinion among the tourists with
regard 10 this country, Mr.. Kurushima
replied that all consider America and
Japan alike in their progressiyeness and
freshness
we are all delighted" said he with
what We have seen in this country. There
are two things here, however. that have
been a continual source of ast0nishment
TO the party One is the height Of the
buildings. and tie other is the absolute
lack of verdure or flowers throughout the
cities.
After two hours spent in the Library.
the party was called together by the
agent, whom the japanese have named
THE Venerable Uncle" and taken back
