Heating and Ventilation.
The architecture OF the public library
gives special attention TO heating and
ventilation. in a building where large
numbers Of people cOngregate. as I'm
the reading or periodical room Of a
city library. there must be an aOun-
dant supply OF fresh air. There are
numerous systems by which fresh air
IS forced into the rooms where 1T is
most needed. Most OF these include
also an exhaust system By which the
devitalized air may be drawn out OF
the room. It is estimated that floor
space equivalent TO from Is to IS
square feet is the minimum allowance
to be provided for readers in a public
library. A supply Of fresh air must be
estimated In proportion TO the height
OF the walls which generally varies
between ten and Is feet
Next in importance to the construc-
ton Of a building is its furnishing
America is noted for the superiority
Of Its school furniture. and TO a Ger

be included under this head. Among
the latest ideas are reading tables
with plate glass tops, which are com
mendable for their sanitary qualities.
The older libraries OF America. as well
as those Of Europe. contain slanting
desk tables in the reading room The

readers with seats at desks containing
stationary ink stands. Few Libraries in
America provide Ink and all modern

for the large room gave the flames

were generally of wood. were only ad-

almost as detrimental to books as fire
itself, and the modern library plan con
fines fire to the smallest possible area.
None Of the book stacks is more than
one story in height and they are divid-
ed by fire proof partitions so that II

other respects America is behind Eu

American library plans are acknowl-
edged to be superior in this respect to
those OF any other part Of the world
In addition to providing the floor
plans Of buildings. the Library assO-
citation also furnishes estimates upon
their cost and equipment based upon
the following assumptions: The sum
OF $4,000 viii pay for library build

one IN stone, which viii provide accom-
mediation for from $4,000 to 10000

cases are placed next to the wall at
right angles with the window. As the
library increases in size. floor cases are
added and, when the book collections

greater future increase, the metal book
stacks are provided
Issues Many Suggestions.
Inc Association issues a number OF
suggestions to library builders which
are now recognized almost as rules
the most important is that the library
should be built with reference TO the
work to be done and not for it's archi-
tectura1 effect For this reason. the
librarian should be called into consul
tatiOn- The interior should be planned
before the exterior. Many Librarians
believe that a public library should be
built around the circulation desk, since
this is the important feature. In rec
ignition Of this, many Libraries are
planned so that a section may be ad-
ded as desired. For example, a library
on triangular lot may have its main
entrance along one side or perhaps at
a corner and may thus form
shaped structure which as the library
expands may be formed into a triangle
by closing up the side left open

SILVER SPRINGS \ PLAY
GROUND FOR THE STATE

The Ocala correspondent of the
Times-Union sends the following to his
paper:
improvements aggre-ating thousands
of dollars Kin be made within a short
time at silver Springs which is one of
the show places of Florida. Active
work VIII be commenced about Feb
ruary l and Mr.. Ed Carmichael of
this city, who owns the property ad-
jacent to the springs. hopes to finish
the Undertaking in twelve months.
The first step in improvements will
be to cut off the short turns in the
Silver Springs run. The machinery for
the dredge boat TO be used in the
work will arrive here within the next
ten days \ short distance below the
head of the springs a forty-foot canal
will be cut through TO a sulphur
springs, a distance of about 500 feet.
The sulphur springs will be walled up
and a pavilion built \ number of
lighthouses will be erected along the
canal which will no doubt be much in
demand.
on the north side of the springs and
some places is low and swampy, will
further overflow. The tract of land
owned by Mr.. Carmichael comprises
$500 acres and is very rich land. Aft
er the work is completed the land
along the Silver Springs run will be
cut up into quarter-acre lots and the
remainder of the tract will be divided
| into ten-aCre tracts.
| The improvements also call for a
| large park at the Carmichael landing
| which is about three miles from the
| head of the springs.
| The improvements when completed
will add untold value to the famou:
