which no use was found. To him who
Yentured into this subterranean re-
gion there was given the vista of vast
atsles piled high with an accumula'
tion Of these documents. There were
to be found great quantities of the
Congressional Records, handsomely
bound In leather. There were prac-
itically unlimited quantities Of the
eloth-bound reports of the secretaries
of various departments for various,
years. There were many wagon loads
OF such reports as that Of the chief
engineer of the war department. The
geological survey had contributed
great numbers Of volumes of narrow
and very technical nature, IN which
only scientific men following very,
narrow lines Of investigation were in
terested. The lesser publications Of
various bureaus and various inyesti-
cations were to be found In great
quantities. Altogether there was IL
the vaults and corridors perhaps a
thousand tons Of worthless printed
matter that could be used by nobody
in the world.
This vast accumulation Of useless
documents upon which many millions
OF dollars had been wasted in printing
was q veritable white elephant upon
the hands of the government. Not

with 1t, but the government was pay
ing rent on half n dozen warehouses
which were serving no other purpose
than for storage of these waste docu-
ments. In addition to the rent Of
these buildings, watchmen were being
maintained for them
In the year 1909, the public printer,
by direction Of the joint commission

documents as waste paper. These doc
uments sold for less than l cent

aggregate. There were $50 tons Of
these documents, and under the law
they must be mutilated before being
sold in order that they might not be

this accumulation cost the government
nearly $4,000.

SEA SERPENT REAL.
Hiram Maximts Firm Believer IN
Monster. 7e
Famous Scientist and Inventor Thinks
Time Has Come When Monstrous
Creatures Should Be Credited
Two Kinds Seen.

London.-Sir Hiram Maxim Is a
firm believer in the sea serpent. The
other day he gave out this interview:
Il think the time has arrived when
we must submit that there are certain
large animals living in the sea that
are not described in any works on
natural history. Messrs. c. A. Mich
OILS & Co., Springfield, Mas. pub
tished In 1882 very remarkable work.
In this / find that in 1851, and for
some years following, the sea serpent,
or sea serpents, appeared very often
off the New England coast.
1T appears that there were two
kinds of these monsters. On one &C.
casion the animal that was seen had
o fishlike head, very large eyes, g!lls.
and a continuous fin extending the
whole length of it's back, supported by
numerous spines; after the manner Of
4 stickleback. 1t was simply very
large fish of an unknown variety.
"The monster that was seen great
number Of times, by numerous people
had body from eighty to ninety feet
long, and about the diameter, Of a
large cask, with head closely resem-
bling that Of snake.
According to these witnesses, the
monster was from eighty to ninety
feet long, his head usually carried
about two feet above the water; OF q
dark brown color, the body with thirty
or more protuberances. compared by
some to four-gallon kegs, by others to
string of buoys, and called by sew
eral persons punches on the back;
motion very rapid. faster than that
of whale, swimming a mile In three
minutes, and sometimes more, leaving
a wake behind him. chasing mack
erel, behring's, and other fish. which
were soon jumping out Of the water
fifty at a time as he approached"
ut has been suggested that this
creature Is mammal. If so. 1t would
have warm blood, and would have to
breath at least as often as whale.
but as it remains below the water for
days and weeks at time, It Is safe
to say that it has cold blood, and Is
probably some kind Of snake"
