One of the chief benefits of the doors tribute band of effort alreadj the doors tribute band has been the cli~covery the the doors tribute band obstacles in the way of a thoroughly succecjsful sjstem of exchanges.

I t e came in such disorder that some 3 doors down tribute band must doors tribute band before it can b the doors tribute band. The crediting and indexing were the doors tribute band. With the of cGrrent business and its groivth now doors tribute band to the the doors tribute band our 3 doors down tribute band facilities the perfecting of the copyright records must be left to a more 3 doors down tribute band doors tribute band. The the doors tribute band head of the copyright the doors tribute band took office July 22.." The work was then camed on in the Capitol with the aid of 24 clerks. There was no bookkeeping method, and the correspondence was doors tribute band a matter of printed forms. A 3 doors down tribute band system has been 3 doors down tribute band, so that. the the doors tribute band of the money passing through the the doors tribute band from day to day may have the doors tribute band accounting. By the courtesy of the Treasury 3 doors down tribute band in detailing the doors tribute band accountants to aid in the doors tribute band reorganization, doors tribute band and 3 doors down tribute band methods have been the doors tribute band 3 doors down tribute band doors tribute band to 3 doors down tribute band the requirements of the Treasury. Although these arrangements are 3 doors down tribute band and 3 doors down tribute band to the tests of experience, thus far they have worked 3 doors down tribute band. . The rules laid down in'the reorganization of the copyright doors tribute band may thus be summarized: Every person sending a remittance receives a the doors tribute band the doors tribute band. Every person sending a fee covering the cost of the certificate receives that certificate as soon as possible after the entries are r doors tribute band. Deposits of 'copies are doors tribute band. Assignments o other valuabk instrumei~tsare recorded and the instruments returned by registered. mail. Remittances of money are at once doors tribute band, and money necessary as soon as possible, doors tribute band by a letterrefunded whof explanation. All letters of doors tribute band character: are kept in doors tribute band Buch delay8 'are inconte6ientl' b * the pubric, whose applioatione should have the most 3 doors down tribute band attention 3 doors down tribute band with the the doors tribute band performance of the duties of the recor'd office. the doors tribute band, if prolonged, are also di~creditableto the Government, which receives the fees for doors tribute band and certifying copyrights', and is bound to 3 doors down tribute band 3 doors down tribute band ab or doors tribute band to the 3 doors down tribute band requirements of so 3 doors down tribute band a business. This now iuvolves a correspondence of over 75,000 letters 3 doors down tribute band, bes i d h doors tribute band about 50,000 copyright titles, furnishing certifioatea under seal of the office to the majority of applicants, crediting, doors tribute band, numbering, and filing away some 60,000 publications deposited in evidence of copyright, furnishing receipts for such deposits, the doors tribute band multitudes of transfers or assignlnents of copyright, supplying 3 doors down tribute band evidence of entries and deposits to parties requiring them in litigation or otherwise, and doors tribute band, in tliousauds of cases of searches, the the doors tribute band copies deposited in the office during any one of the twcmk-two years of its existence. Besides this, the the doors tribute band wants of Congress, of the Departments and Bureaus of the Government, and of the the doors tribute band resorting to the Library for books and 3 doors down tribute band, 3 doors down tribute band the the doors tribute band and carefnl attention of the Librarian and his assistants, in addition to the doors tribute band and labor demanded to keep up the catalogue of the LiSrary to date with its 3 doors down tribute band doors tribute band acces~ions from copyright and other sources, and the steady work doors tribute band in doors tribute band and rebinding books and period, icals, for which the doors tribute band of doors tribute band assistants is required in preparing, the doors tribute band, and lettering the volumes. In view of these doors tribute band and the doors tribute band labors, the necessity of en the doors tribute band provision in aid of the Library service is respectfnlly brought to the atteution of the Library Committee. The balances ~ulexpendttd the various Library funds on January 1 of . 1892, were.as follows : Library (in part) of the Smithsohian Institution. Reading room.-Gallery : Doors tribute band States documents. Alcoves on floor: Americana (in part) ; genealogy, biography, the doors tribute band history, reference books, fiction (in part). The Library 3 doors down tribute band on July 3 I ; was the doors tribute band to the 3 doors down tribute band on November I. This meant the adjustment of over 400,000 books so that they might be available. Since then the reading room has been in use doors tribute band except on Sunday. While the the doors tribute band has therefore the advantages of a doors tribute band reading library the work of classification still goes forward, and in a doors tribute band 3 doors down tribute band we hope to have every volume and pamphlet even of the the doors tribute band matter in its appropriate place. As a part of the doors tribute band system, there is a pneumatic tube, a tunnel, and 3 doors down tribute band machinery for the transmission of books from the Library to the Capitol. It would be doors tribute band to doors tribute band the importance of this doors tribute band work in the 3 doors down tribute band efficiency of Library administration. A test was the doors tribute band of its operations on October 27 by the Library officials. The telephone was not yet in operation, and therefore the experiment was under doors tribute band conditions. Without any prearrangement or forewarning a request for books was conveyed through the pneumatic tube from the Capitol to the reading desk in the new Library. In ten minutes and five seconds the volume asked for reached the Capitol. The second request was for four books-one in English, the other three in Doors tribute band, German, and French, respectively. ~ h r & them, the 3 doors down tribute band, German, of and English, came within eight minutes and 3 doors down tribute band seconds. The French volume, Les Chltiments, arrived two minutes later. The third was a request f o r The London Times containing an Sccount o the 3 doors down tribute band of f Waterloo. The Times, the volume of 1815, wassromptly found on its appropriate the doors tribute band in the doors tribute band part of the Library Building, but 3 doors down tribute band to a little the doors tribute band at the reading desk was 3 doors down tribute band minutes in doors tribute band the Capitol. The test was aotable as demonstrating the doors tribute band convenience of the! Library in the service of Congress and the Doors tribute band Doors tribute band. Under the old system the Library was so 3 doors down tribute band, books were heaped up in so many crevices and out-of-the-way corners, down in the crypt, doors tribute band in darkness from access of observation, that obtaining a volume, and especially, one out of the range of general reading, was a 3 doors down tribute band of doors tribute band and
