The navy library, IN the state. war

soak up atmosphere. Like the build
ing itself, it Is thirtythre years old
When 1t was built England, France,
Spain and Italy presented the marbles
Of porphyry, sienna and malachte with
which the walls are paneled. Mexico
sent the pieces of onyx which encrust
the gallery. The round stone over the
door came from the ruins of POmpeii.
The connoisseur in marble who visits
Washington will enjoy a call here.
In the center Of the large room, lined
with shelves of weizhty tones on ma
val matters, there is a large and i'm
portant green-topped table. Around
this table sat the strategic board OF
the Spanish, American war. Here also
the naval advisory board for the great
war made their secret plans and eX-
perimrntS. Edison, Maxim. Miller and
many others conferred over il. with
guard before the door.
There is quaint side to the library
too. \ little white-haired lady can be
seen any time. hitting about the
shelves Of dark. heavy books, or cut
ting and passing busiIy in her corner
by the window. This is Miss Mason.
