Where the Declaration Is Kept,

The original engrossed copy Of the
Declaration as signed is now in the
keeping of the secretary of state. The
document was in the patent Office from
1871 to 1877. as that department was
believed to be tireproof. 1t is now,
since 1894, kept Theoretically sealed in
a frame and placed In a steel Cabinet
with the original signed copy of the
constitution. 1t is no longer shown to
any one except by express order of the
secretary. Being yoa-parchment, which
shows destructive signs Of cracking.
due more probably to the making Of a
facsimile ordered by President James
Monroe in 1923 than to age or han
ding, the document is jealousy guard
ed. Many of the names Of the signers
are no longer. legible. Two pages Of
Jeiferson's original draft, with few
interlineations by Adams and Frank
lin, are also preserved at the depart
ment Of state. The facsimile which
was ordered by President Monroe was
made for the purpose Of giving copy
to each Of the signers then living and
their heirs. These original copies are
now Of great value.-Baltimore News.
