Congressional Library. from its fountain
at the base, including mammoth figures
of Neptune and his attendants, to the
golden torch which tops the dome, is dis
tinctly an American building, designed
and executed by American architects and
artists.
The building was begun in 1886 and
completed in 1897. 1t cost $6347,OOO and
stands in the center Of a plot of ground
worth $5S5.OO0. The exterior is of gray

Rapid System
of Delivery

Of the building itself and the wisdom with
which its facilities have been employed.
The main collections Of the library are
supplemented by those of several sepa-
rate departments. including maps, music
prints, law and manuscripts. The library
proper is strongest in photography, pub
lie documents. especially those of foreign
governments: American, economics. pub
lie law. genealogy, political science and
newspapers. Through the Smithsonian
Institution extensive files Of the trans
actions of the foreign learned societies
are received. The copyright law, requir-
ing the deposit Of two copies of every
copyrighted book. gives to this library the
most complete collection Of the product
Of the American press in existence
Among the foreign collections is the
Yudin collection of about $1,000 volumes
of Russian works, purchased in 1907,
which is particularly valuable for the
study of Russia and Siberia A collection
of 1900 japanese books was bought in
1907, and in 1908 the Huitfeldt-Kass COL
lection Of Scandinavian literature, num-
bering more than 5000 volumes The
orient is further represented by the Web
er library of Sanscrit literature including
3.O1S volumes and 1.OO2 pamphlets. Adj
ditions to all of these collections are be-
ing made rapidly.

classification, shelf listing. labelling, the
preparation Of copy for catalogue cards
for the printer. proofreading and filing
cards in the various catalogues Be-
sides cataloguing and classifying the
current accessions, which amount to more
than 100000 volumes annually, this d.
vision has been engaged since 1899 in re-
classifying and recataloguing the entire
library. The greater part Of the reclass-
ihcation is now complete and new cata-
1ogue entries have been made for more
than three-fourths Of the collection.
The recataloguing of the Library of
Congress has been most important mat
ter, affecting to a greater or less extent
all the large libraries of America The
cards printed for this catalogue have
been available to all the Libraries of the
country at the cost Of printing. and
have assisted them to a large degree in
the preparation Of their own catalogues,
relieving them Of very considerable ex-
pense. The main catalogue Of books and
pamphlets is in the form of printed cards
arranged in the dictionary order l. e.,
alphabet The rules followed are those
of the American and British library as
eociations. Besides these there are spe-
cial catalogues in book form for many
Of the special collections, such as prints
and manuscripts.

At Worst This Month.

1.-The famine will be at its worst in Feb
ruary and March, and will continue until
harvest in the middle Of May. It is i'm
perative that money begin to come in be-
fore the end Of February if great loss Of
life is to be avoided. We confidently
hope that you will take prompt measures
to bring this before the citizens of Wash
ington and secure a large fund. We beg
to suggest that publicity campaign be
carried on and contributions received by
committee Of the Chamber OF Com
merce. or that the Chamber of Commerce
appoint a committee of citizens for this
purpose or authorize the press to take it
up in the name Of the city. 1t will save

The chairman of the executive COM
mittee Of the relief committee is Rt. Rev.
F. R. Graves, and the vice chairman is
DR.. WI Ting-fang. The letter to the
chamber was signed by Rev. E. c. 14o-
bernstein. secretary.
Subscribers are urged to send their
contributions before May l. The treas
urer of the relief fund Is II. C. Gulland,
manager Of the International Banking
CORPORATION in Shanghai Subscribers
are advised that the easiest way in which
to send their money to the committee is
pay 1t into their local banks with in
structions to transmit it to the Interna-
tional Banking Corporation In New York
or San Francisco, which will cable to its
Shanghai branch to pay the money to
the treasurer Of the relief fund.
Contributions may be sent also to any
foreign mission board or to the Red
Cross Society in this city.

Appeal Made to Cities.

IN previous fam1neS people all over
the country have given as individuals,
but 1t is now proposed that throughout
the nation each city act as a unit, cable
at once its willingness to help, raise
fund to be sent on as fast as it comes in,
and on May 10 cable a statement Of the
total sent to date, with a message of good
transmit these messages to the Chinese
press and publish them In a booklet to be
presented to the officials and members Of
the national and provincial assemblies,
and thus not only help to avert q great
calamity. but make the alienation Of ssuf-
fering the opportunity of strengthening
the friendship between China and the
United States.
s.The time is opportune. America has
long been looked to by China as a dis
interested friend. The return Of a large
part Of the Boxer indemnity made deep
impression. The insistance of the revo-
how great is the influence o. the United
States. All these are beginnings. and
with the opening Of the Panama canal
will make China a neighbor In a new
sense. A demonstration of frfendliness
on a national scale will in this hour Of
need arouse great enthusiasm among the
men of the new China, and the effect on
trade and political relations and on the
progress of civilization and Christianity
will be incalculable.
THE funds will be used to avert starva-
ton and at the same time to start China
upon a policy Of conservation. It Is not
enough today to pour rice in the rathole
Of famine. It is planned to give relief
only in return for labor on canals and
dykes except In case Of those unable to
work. Competent foreign and Chinese
engineers will cooperate in making all
such work of permanent value in pre-
venting future floods. The famine COM
mittee believes that the new government
will adopt a program of conservation
and. until this can be carried to compile
ton, shoulder the responsibility of re-
lieving famine conditions, thus making
the committee which is presenting this
appeal the last of its kind in China The
new China is awake to the situation, and
many influential men are already pledged
to such a policy.

FOR CHINA
Famine Relief Committee Asks
for Contributions.

The Central China famine relief COM
mittee in Shanghai has appealed to the
Washington Chamber Of Commerce for
aid in raising funds in the United States
to help the famine sufferers in the en-
pire. A letter received by Secretary Grant
Of the chamber today is in part as fol-
lows:
I'VE are asking 800 American cities to
take part in a great demonstration of
good will to the new China.
China is facing a tremendous calaln-
ity.- Two and a half millions of her peo-
pie are In dire need Of help most of them
in the same district where the famine
ragged last year. The Chinese are in the
midst Of struggle for freedom, and un-
able to do much for their own people;
indeed, one great reason for the revolu-
ton is the recurrence of the famine con-
ditions. Throughout a large portion Of
two populous provinces schools are closed
business Is at a standstill, the weak are
becoming beggars. families are being
broken UP by the sale of wives and
daughters, often into lives of vice, and
the people are lapsing into apathy and
moral chaos.
