E. church @ committee was appointed to confer with members of other religious bodies with reference to organizing a national associs in the interest of Sabbath reform, on that committee were Bishop Newman and others. Responses have been received so far from the two Presbyterian bodies. The gene- ral assemblies, both north and south. have ap- jinted committees, also the Baptist Home lissionary society and the synod of the Re- formed church. “These commitiees together held a preliminary meeting at Chicago a few on Prominent weeks ago and organized the American Sab- | Shepherd, of | bath union. with Col.

There is @ Popular notion that women, only. read adver- isements. They do read them more, perhaps, than men do, but it is only as they read more romance—because they have more time.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM. The acco ing illustrations will give a good idea of the exterior appearance of the two designs, It is generally conceded that a H rding to either design would be @ 1 elegant structure, but the princi- antage of the original over the modified plan is not so much that it provides fora larger TWO PLANS BEFORE se) wal | system already provided and would be com- new plan, but lowing for a somewhat more ly finished interior.” ‘THE ORIGINAL PLAX, as adopted by Congress, contemplated four octagonal projections from the main central b . ‘These General Casey omitted from estimates a¢ well zs the northwest, north- j east, southwest and southeast ‘ines, | “These changes,” says the report, “would do | away with the crowded arrangement of book- | magazines in the court:—darkening each other | and converting the courts into wells—and give instead of ten small courts or wells, four large | | court yards, open, light and airy, and which | may et any future time, if necessary, be occu- pied by low pyramidal book-magazines, con- | nected with the reading-room and constructed £0 as not to obstruct to any serions extent the ‘light and air to the main walls, As repre- sented in this. set of plans, the books would at first oceupy only the alcoves in the reading- rootn and the stacks in the magazines adjoin- ing it north, south and east.” | HE FULL CAPACITY ' of these spaces is alone 1,603,000 volumes, and SIX MILLION DOLLAR DESIGN. time having become satistied by the chicf en- gineer’s estimates that the building can be con- structed practically as originally planned with- ont costing a fabulous or unreasonable sum, shonld authorize him to construct a library building which would answer all future as well as present needs. The £4,000,000 building will occupy and utilize a considerable part of the cellar excavation and drain: ‘atem, all of the concrete foundations for the rotunda and the center building of the west front, and also minor of the same for curtains of the wost front, already prepared for the original building. The front walls will be of hght- jcolored granite and the remainder of the | building chiefly of brick and iron—fire- proof construction throughout—asmall quantity only of plain cri granite being used in the court- yard walls. The construction of the building is to be solid and substantial an lly plain in the interior, excepting th or | reading-room and the main stair bale, which will be suitabiy enriched in mar- | bie, iron and stucco, In the preparation of the plans and estimates pains were taken to secure the largest and most a te build- hey would accommodate the growing library ; | for a period of thirty-four years from this time. | Occupying in future the first and second stories | ofthe north, east and south curtains with | alcoves and stacks, the capacity would be in- | creased to 3.537,000 volumes, lasting ninety- ‘eight years. Adding the court yard ae zines above described, the capacity would be again increased to 4.632.000 volumes, which | | Would not be reached until the lapse of 134/ j years.

To this end the ex- terior retains the same degree of finish that was contemplated in the old design, while the interior enrichment is to be confined almost entirely tothe main stair hall and rotunda, The arrangement, dimensions and general character of the design are also in harmon} with the suggestions of Librarian Spofford, contained in a letter of November 13, 1883, in response to one sent him by Gen. Casey. ‘An appropriation of $1,000,000 is asked for use in the spring of 1889, CAPACITY. Book alcoves, stacks, and shelving are pro- vided for 1,168,000 volumes, occupying the Teading-room, three magazines adjoining the second-story and the east front. At the pres- ent rate of growth of the library, 30.000 vol- umes a year, this shelving would be filled in about nineteen years, or about thirteen years purposes of the library of cost — will | after the completion of the building, the con- straction of which will occupy some six years, ‘The remaining space not absolutely required for administration and for display of engravings, maps, current periodicals, éc., will accommo- date 1,047,000 volumes more. makingan ultimate total capacity of 2,215,000 volumes This space building. as that its capacity can be greatly in- creased in future ears, while the ‘modi. fied design contemplates ‘no sach provisions for the future. W! once constructed it will permit ‘of no addition without eat injury to its architectural beauty and dignity. This difference in the two buildings will be more fully explained further on. As stated, Gen. Casey made no recominendations in his report. He was placed tn charge of the construction of the library building, with 4 structions to furnish for the approval of the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the I terior detailed plans for a building whic! should come within the amount fixed by law— 4.000.000. In obeying these instructions it Was necessary to make estimates upon the original plans, and the result was submitted to Congress for its information. WHY THE ESTIMATE WAS MADE. After describing the modified plans, he says, in his report, the original plan adopted by Congress as a basis, and at a fixed total cost, it was necessary at the outset to make for the first time a careful and detailed estimate of the esst, of the prin- cipal parts at least, of the original plan, omitting the parts not tobe ini ted in the new one. Thus incidentally the original plan has been carefully restudied and so modi- fied as to simplify the arrangement of book ‘in producing this new plan, upon | jJect. The same style of architecture is re- | tained, and also the number and height of | stories, the general arrangement and relative | location of reading-rooms, book-magazines, | |and rooms for exhibits, administration, and | other library work, as in the original ‘plan. | ‘The center building and the reading-rooms are | essentially unaltered from the old plan, while | the height of the whole building has been con- iderably reduced. and much more of the space in the middle of the plan omitted. DIFFERENCE IX DIMENSIONS. The new extreme outside dimensions of the building. not including the projection of the | center building, on the west front, are 333 feet | north and south by $18 feet 3 inches east and west, while those of the old design were re- spectively 463 feet 113; inches by 892 fect 9 inches. ‘This reduction in the dimensions of the building from what was originally intended will, of necessity,do away with any extra space or courts in the interior, so that, as previously stated, there is no provision in the modified plan for any future addition to the capacity of the structure. The only possible addition | would be a wing or projection to the exterior. A glance at the illustration would be sufficient %6 show that this could not be done without marring to a great degree the architectural symmetry of the building. The plans for this puilding, which were prepared by Mr. P. J. Pelz, who was engaged in the preparation of would be filled in about fifty-four years from the present time. Meantime the surplus space, amounting to probably 26,000 square feet of floor, might be occupied for other offices of the Government. As required by the law these plans were made for a building complete and entire in design and arrangement, and there- fore incapable of economical enlargement. Its cost as limited by law will be £4.000.000, in- ereased by the available balance of the pre- vious appropriation, which is estimated to be $200,000, or a grand total cost of €4,200,000. WHICH SHALL IT BE? A building constructed upon the original Blan adopted by Congress (slightly modified as lescribed above) will cost 36,000,000; will ac- commodate at first 1,603,000 volumes; will farnish at first extra ‘space of 43,000 square feet; will accommodate ultimately 3,537,000 volumes, and will be filled with books ninety-six years, and with the court-vard ditions, which can be made as described, in one hundred and thirty-four years, A building constructed'on the reduced plan, in compliance with the act of October 2, 1888, will cost $4,200,000; will accommodate at first 1,168,000 volumes; will furnish at first extra space of 26,000 square feet; will accommodate ultimately 2,215,000 volumes, and will be filled with books’ in’ fifty-four years, but’ will not permit of any addition except at the expense of architectural effect.
