A NEW AIR-cHUTE TO CARRY DOC cUMENTs

dignified members Of the Senate back and
forth through the passage between the
Capitol and their Office building, but MEM
bers of the House are compelled to walk
the two blocks. When flibustering leaders
are demanding roll calls every half hour a
member who wants to do some work in his
distant office spends much Of his time hur-
rying back and forth through the tunnel
Several schemes have been proposed for
the House tunnel, ranging from moving
sidewalks to regular electric tramways. A
tentative scheme has been developed by
Superintendent Woods, but 1t has not yet
been sanctioned by the House itself. With

THE CAPITOL BLACKSMITH.
An important aid of Superintendent
Woods.

& belief that i'm the end there will be re-
| seating of the present hall, substituting
benches for the present desks, instead or
complete remodelling Of the chamber. AT
the House end it has been necessary TO
build a new barber shop move two or three
document rooms and change the house
kitchen and its serving arrangements.
To hasten the transportation OF docu-
ments from the Capitol to the House office
building a big pneumatic carrier has been
installed, which makes the long run IN a
few seconds. To make room for the en-
larged kitchens at the House end or the
Capitol the document rooms that were for-
merly below the House Chamber have oeen
transferred to the office building, and busl-
ness will be expedited by the pneumatic
carrier.
Both the House and Senate restaurants
have been remodelled and enlarged 10 meet
the demands Of members for more privacy
in their dining rooms.
Not a small part of the work Of prepara-
ton about the building is TO see that all
sanitary arrangements are OF the best.
There are passageways under nearly all
the floors Of the buildings, and air ducts
leading from the outside. These have been
scrubbed and whitewashed, and the air has
been tested thoroughly to see that it Is
not contaminated.
These matters, undertaken for the health
Of members of the House and Senate, sell
dom reach the attention Of these bodies,
and It Is not often that superintendent
Woods steps out Of his cloak Of modesty
and refers to them. There is also system
of elevator inspection at the Capitol that
has few equals. Each elevator IN the build
ing is inspected regularly every morning
that it IS I'm operation by an engineer, who
goes over its machinery and makes sure
there will be no accidents to those who
travel In It.
The task OF keeping up the main Capitol
building is one Of great responsibility, re-

HoUsECLEANING IN STATUARY
HALL,

This Is the annual task OF the Superln
tendent of the Capitol Buildings and
Grounds lie is in many respects the most
indispensable man about the nations home
Of representative government. Though he
seldom figures in the proceedings Of Con-
gress, he is always figuring how TO make
those proceedings run more smoothly and
how to contribute In the greatest degree to
the comfort and convenience Of the men,
bers. Mr.. Woods is the master of nearly
all trades, and has developed permanent
organization in the Capitol that varies
from a nucleus of fifty men In the winter
to a hundred and fifty when the repair sea-
son is at its height
The underground region of the Capitol is
hive of industry and peculiar trades.
Under the big dome, out of sight OF the
world in general. there are blacksmith
shops machine shops, kitchens. cabinet
makers shops, tile rooms, plumbing shops,
model rooms storehouses of all kinds, and
headquarters for art experts, gardeners,
electricians carpenters and all sorts OF
workmen.
Through these lower corridors this force
moves constantly, repairing portions Of the
decay replacing bits of flooring that break,
keeping tunnels and air ducts open and
clean, and getting ready for the season"
when Congress is on vacation.
Out Of the hundreds Of passageways and
corners Of the Capitol there are but few
that are not under the direct control Of the
superintendent Of the building. One pecu-
liar arrangement exists at the House end.
where the keys to all stairways leading up
over the House Chamber are kept by the
Speaker Of the House, and all doorkeepers
for these entrances are appointed by him.
The reason for this singular arrangement
had long been a mystery, and was the sub
ject OF a small investigation when the
Democratic Congress began to parcel out
the appointive jobs last spring. 1t was
found that when ex-President Garfield was
