to strengthening the parchment making 1t
moisture proof. But the committee did urge
that the document be kept In the dark and
dry possible. and never placed exhi-
bition. Accordingly. in 1894. 1t was hermet-
ically sealed in a frame and placed in the steel
above mentioned. together with the
original copy of the constitution of the United
States. Then, in 1902. Secretary Hay issued
the order in accordance with which the huge
square steel box that holds the Declaration
locked and sealed. 1t has been opened
once since that time in order that the off,
cials might ascertain the condition of the doc
ument. 1t appeared to be in exactly the same
state of preservation when placed In the
case half dozen years ago and indeed Mr..
John A. Tonner, chief of the division of rolls
and library of the state department, the pres
ent custodian of the Declaration. is of the opin-
ion that the deterioration at least the fading
of the Declaration has been almost completely
arrested.
The interior Of the steel safe which COM
prises the final resting place OF the Declare
ton contains four drawers. In one of these
reposes the Declaration-kept perfectly fat be-
tween two pieces of heavy plate glass. Tho
other four drawers are given over to the orig
fnal copy of the constitution. similarly protect
ed The constitution, 1t may be added, is In
an excellent state of preservation and really
does not need the extreme protective meas
ures to which 1t is subjected because of being
in company with the Declaration.
Presentday visitors to the state department
although they may not see the original Dec
laration of Independence, can inspect some
thing almost interesting the orig
fnal draft of the Declaration in Jefferson's
handwriting. with few interineations made
by Franklin and Adams. This is displayed in
steel cabinet that stands adjacent to the
safe containing the original Declaration. Tho
steel exhibition cabinet also holds one of the
fac-similes of the engrossed copy of the Dec
laration-one of those reproductions made by
order OF President Monroe in order to secure
200 copies for the signers OF the Declaration
and their heirs.
In glass case In this same treasure house
OF historic mementoes is the small, plain. un-
polished mahogany desk on which Jefferson
wrote the Declaration OF Independence. This
interesting relic came into possession of the
government IN 1880 The desk had been given
by Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Coolidge, Jr.
upon the occasion Of the latter's marriage to
Jeferson's granddaughter. Miss Randolph. On
the death OF Mr. Coolidge. whose wife had
died year or two previously. the desk became
the property of their four children and was by
them presented to the nation. 1t was the ex-

all hopes of this kind are doomed to disap-
pointment The Declaration was transferred
TO Philadelphia for the Centennial In 1876, but
never before since has 1t been out of it's
depository at the national capital and 1t is
pretty safe to predict that it will never in
future be disturbed
During the past decade there has been a
redoubling of protective measures looking to
the safeguarding and preservation of the in
valuable document. Some years ago the secre-
tary Of state issued order that the Declara-
tion should be hermetically sealed in a light
tight. fre-proof. burglar-proof safe. and that
this safe should not be opened except upon his
written order How resoute is the determine
tion of the officials to keep the document in
that secusion that is believed to be essential
for its preservation may be surmised from the
fact that never In the seven years since the
retirement ORDER was issued has any person
been able to induce the secretary of state to
issue the necessary order to obtain a peep
at the important document
The Declaration of Independence has had
a most interesting history since 1t came into
existence on that memorable fourth Of July
in Philadelphia one and one-third centuries
ago. The penned document that now reposes
in the library of the state department at
Washington is the one and only official in
strument So far as known, there was nc
duplicate or extra copy of the declaration made
for printers copy" as would now be done in
the Of any important document the con-
tents Of which were to be perpetuated. 1t is
believed that the copy in the hands of Secre-
tary Thomson at the close of the session on
that first Independence day went to the official
printer, John Dunlap and was used by him as
copy. The next day. in making up the Journal
of the continental congress. the secretary
wafered in blank space left for this purpose
a copy Of the broadsde print.
Copies OF the printed broadside were also

ellis of safety" etc. Other editions differing

served Under act of congress approved
July a. 1883. the Declaration deposited in
what was then known the department of
foreign AFFAIRS. A few months later the name
of this branch of the government changed
to department of state and the secretary of
state was declared to have charge and custody
of the Declaration.
The Declaration has virtually been In the
custody of the state department continuously
from that date to the present time To be
sure it reposed in the patent Office at Wash
dngton from 1S41 to 1877, but the patent office,
1T may be recalled, was for many years a part
of the department of state and occupied what
was believed to be freproof building,
whereas that which then housed the depart
ment of state was not regarded affording
any surety against damage by fire. After the
Centennial. however the Declaration was trans
ferred to the state department proper, that
branch Of the government having In the mean
Ez& acquired an up-to-date building. Here 1t

possible care dates from a period somewhat
prior to the Worlds Columbian exposition in
Chicago in 1893. 1t was proposed to transfer
the Declaration to Chicago for exhibition and
a steel safe or packing case" as it was then
termed. was specially constructed to serve as
a repository for the document en- route and
during the period of the fair. While these
preparations were in progress the officials of
the state department turned the matter over
In their minds and eventually came to the
conclusion that 1t was risky business to have
the nations most honored relic carted about
the country, even If the moving was done
with all possible care The president took
this view of the matter also and SO it was
decided not to allow the Declaration to be
transferred to Chicago.
About this time John Hay. who was then
acting as secretary Of state. asked the Ma
tonal Academy of Sciences to carefully inves-
ugate the condition of the document and to
make suggestions to ways and means for
its preservation Accordingly President Agas-
siz of the National Academy appointed a spe-
cial committee. consisting of John S. Billings,
Ira Remsen and Charles F. Chandler. to con-
fer with Secretary Hay on the subject. Even
tually this special committee was given an
opportunity to make careful examination
OF the precious instrument with the assist
ance of Mr.. A. H. Allen. then serving the
chief of the bureau Of rolls and library of the
state department and also with the aid of DR..
Wilbur NJ. Gray. of the Army Medical museum
1t was found that the document had suf-
fered very seriously from the very harsh
treatment to which it exposed during the
earlier years of the republic. Folding and
rolling have creased and broken the parch-
ment The wet presscopying operation to
which 1t was subjected about 1920 for the pur-
pose OF producing fac-simile copy, removed
large portion of the ink Subsequent ex-
posure to the action of light for more than 30
years while the instrument was placed on ex-
hibition has resulted in the fading of the ink
particularly in the signatures The commit
tee was pleased. however to find that no evil
dence Of mold or other disintegrating agents
could be discovered upon the parchment by
careful microscopic examination. They also
reported against the proposition which had
been advanced to apply chemicals with a view
to restoring the original color of the ink. 1t
was the opinion of the experts that such ap-
plication could be but partially successful, in
asmuch considerable portion of the orig
inal ink was removed in making the copy of
1920 and also because such application might
result in serious discoloration of the parch-
ment
Finally the committee reported adversely
upon the suggestion that any solution. such as

garded the principal or decisive one. In
the autobiography he states that there were
more reasons than one why Mr.. Jefferson was
appointed on committee of such importance
He assigns two reasons: one. Mr.. Jefferson's
reputation writer. and the other the de-
sire of his Virginia colleagues to have Mr.
Jefferson supplant Mr.. Richard Henry Lee
In letter to Mr.. Pickering Mr. Adams gives
as the reason why Mr.. Jefferson was placed
at the head of the committee that 1t was the
Frankfort advice to place Virginia at the head
of everything" but he also adds that Mr.. JEFF
ferson brought with him to congress "a repu.
tation for literature. science and a happy tai
ent OF composition" and that this reputation
had been sustained by writings remarkable
for their peculiar felicity of expression" As
in the case of Washington. therefore. 1t would
seem that there were reasons Of eminent 1T
