Quarters l Concessional Library. What ! not only the largest but also tho most remarkable collection of maps til the world U owned by the United Elates government and cared for In the congressional library. To the wine set apart for their preservation come the most eminent of geographers, and here Commander Peary, discoverer of the North pole, lias done some of his scien tific research. All told, thero are about 200,000 map In the collection. One room has huge aliases plied tier upon tier from the floor to the roof; old-fashioned ones dating fiom the beginning of atlas making to the up-to-date creations of the binder' art. An expert Is kept continually at work mounting maps, for many that aro purchased are In a dilapidated condition and must be mounted or "backed" on linen of the newest and strongest tex ture. The market from which they are pro cured covers tho world. From Greenland to India, from China to Patagonia, maps ate gathered, and the older they axe the more they are valued. One map of China Ih printed with the odd designs of rivers, mountains, trees and men In a jumble of which the American mind oan make nothing, but possibly to a Celestial It Is perfectly clear Among the moat .Interesting and most precious are early maps, some of them dated prior to the discovery of America. One of these Is a hand-colored affair made In 14S2. lust ten years before Co. jlumbua discovered tho new world. A map made by Cosa, a companion of Columbus, and dated 1W0, shows an odd-looking con tinent meant to represent America, Thero are rude drawings scattered about on this queer picture, most of them attempts to draw dwellings and people of strange aspect- In 1W8 a map of the new world was ongraved for the first time and It grotesque outlines seem pitifully childish under the glass of the hahdsomo case in which It reposes, liy Its side Is per haps the queerest of all maps, a powder horn, on which a map Is etched In brown, while not far off Is a map made by one of the famous pirates of that day, a Captain Dart, who probably used It In his buccaneering expeditions after Span ish gold. A map dated 1W7 shows America as consisting of Florida mostly, while Vir ginia occupies the rest of the continent almost exclusively, One of Kngland In the time of Queen lillzabeth and made by Saxtoti Is shown In a flne state of pres. ervatlon. Of i evolutionary maps there are sev eral dozen, representing different states or tho location of troops at a particular time. To this period belongs a most In teresting rello of Washington, which la a survey of one of his own farms, every field being accurately drawn to scale ana the number of acres It contained written clearly at the top. The freak maps attract the most at tention from the visitor. They are ranged In a cue containing about ten queer spoolmens of the map-maklpg art, and alt are modern. Perhaps the moat lu dicrous of theso Is a drawing representing "All the World Watching," showing the outline of all the nations fashioned Into faces, but the characteristic of each country shows in Its countenance, and the correct geographical lines aro given. Draxll, tha United States, England, Spain, Portugal, Norway and Sweden are so drawn that their ocean Una forma a hu man face, with the eyes watchlm shandy. Washington Star.
