Extent of the Dtmtge to the Vast Htrnetore »1TI^ Destruction of Models, and the Con- - #queiicea Likely to Kiuoe. * [Washington Cor. Chicago Tribune.] She Interior Department building was commenced about 1889. The first ap­ propriation for it was made July 4, 1836. The act of that year appropriated $108,- 000 to begin the building, which, in the language of the act, was to be fire-proof with jsrdtable ^eommodatioii for the Patent Office. The total appropriation for t]ht« Patent Office building amounts to $2,645,800. This vast structure, so nearly rained, known as the Patent Of­ fice, ]is. only a single bureau in the In­ terior Department. The structure re- ceiveaifcs designation of Patent Office as the btulding around which the Interior Dep&lttient centers was originally con­ structed for the Patent Office ten years befoitov The Interior Department, which occupies the building, includes the Indian Bureau, Bureau of Eduoa- ' tion, Patent Office, a portion of the Pen­ sion Office, Land Office, Bureau of Sur­ veys of the Territories, and various mine-bureaus under the charge of the Interior Department. The records of everything relative to patents, pensions, publte lands, Indians, census, educa­ tion, benevolent societies of the District of Columbia, railroad land-grants, are nearls ail located in the building. The main portion of the atxuctnre is of Virginia freestone. It was completed in 1864, under the charge of Edward Clark, the present architect of the Capi­ tol. The building was in the form of a quadrangle, including a large square. The new portions of the building were faced "'On the outside with Maryland marble, and on the inside facing the court with New England granite. The structure was modeled after the Par­ thenon or Temple of Minerva. Art critics nave described the Interior De­ partment as one of the most majestic structures in Washington. The southern front of the Treasury Department has more architectural grace, but the ad­ vantage of the Patent Office was that from Any point it impressed one with itB grandeur. In Outward appearance the fire has left slight trace, as the exterior walls do not appear to be seriously injured. The entire building is of pure Doric architect­ ure, strong, simple, majestic. The southern front is a perfect copy of the Pantheon at Borne, and the eastern por­ tion is modeled after that of the Parthe­ non at Athens. The most damage was done £n the Patent Office, especially in the museum of models. There was something like 200,000 models classified in subdivisions, and comprising every­ thing that had been collected since the destruction of the old Patent Office in 1836. The upper rooms, near the spo •where the fire was first discovered, were filled with models that had been drying for a quarter of a century. It is diffi­ cult to tell what has been lost, but it is positive some of the most notable his­ torical Tclics detained in the building have been saved. Among these relics was the coat worn by Jackson at New Orleans, DeKalb's war saddle, and most of the curious articles which had been presented to the Government by differ­ ent countries, and from time to time stoream the Patent Office. The room wherfeuiese models were stored was or­ iginally intended as an exhibition of ar­ ticles of home manufacture, but in the progress of time because devoted to the Patent Office museum. It was without an eqjkt in the world, and was always referred to by strangers as illustrating the growth of American industries. It was possible in this room to trace the progress of mechanical arts in this country since the foundation of the mu­ seum in 1836. All the models in fine arts, toys, fire­ arms, stoves, lamps, gas-fittings, leather workjiug, printing, furniture, philosophi­ cal instruments, and builders' hardware are safe and complete. The 20,000 re­ jected models are entirely destroyed. These were merely valuable as curiosi­ ties. Of the 80,000 models of patented inventions destroyed at least 10 per cent. * 'were valuable, not especially as creating , any doubt as to the value of the invention, but as evidence in contested cases. Their intrinsic value for this service would range from $20 to $1,000, accorfling to the importance of the case in which they might be used as an im­ portant element of testimony. It will be seen that the class of models destroyed comprises all harvesters and agricultural implements, railroad patents, and some of the most important inven­ tions of the age. In a large number of instance! the drawings are not sufficient­ ly complete to fully explain the inven­ tions, especially in cases of asserted im­ provements, which often affect the use­ fulness of the invention. There will be endless litigation ensuing from their de­ struction. Patent attorneys and interested COJ- porations will seize upon every plausible pretext t» declare improvement upon every class of inventions where there is the slightest obscurity in the drawings or specifications, which of course can be purchased, at the Patent Office, all of them having been reproduced by the systetnv6f photo-lithography. There is one benefit likely to result, however, namely : that it will be likely to inaug­ urate an elaborate system of drawings by which inventions may be fully illus­ trated without reference to the destruct­ ible model. In addition to the increased secuii&y that would be created by hav­ ing t$9 •drawings elaborate and complete, there would be economy in room and the security against fire. Taking the cost of the models de­ stroyed and the damage to the building and fair«^ture, the loss is estimated at $1,501,009. Eve ry original drawing and all original records of the office are com­ plete. Attacked by Bees. Yesterday, Mrs. Henry Smith, living eight miles northwest from this city, went into the yard, accompanied by her little daughter, a child 7 years of age, to get some honey. The box containing the hive is an ordinary patent arrangement, with drawers. In slipping one of them out Sirs. Smith was stung by a bee. The shock and pain caused her to jerk her hand back quickly, and her elbow, strik­ ing another box, k^peked it over, causing it to fall to the ground and burst open. In an instant she and the child were lit­ erally covered with a swarm of insects, which stwg them on the face, neck ana arms and, indeed, nearly all over the body, lightened and crazed with pain, they started to run, but they were blind­ ed by the bees, and it was ten minutes before they succeeded in getting into the house and free from the swarm. It was then discovered that, they were stung al­ most to death. In less than an hour their faces were swollen out of all recognition, and Mrs. Smith had beoome insensible from her injuries. A doctor was sent for and every possible remedy applied; but thi» morning both mother and child were |n o ygry ereearious condition, and seri- cus fears Vere entertained that their in­ juries would prove fatal.--Sedalia (Mo.) Democrat. Frightfal DMtk of I Young Lady. Miss Carrje A. Bice, daughter of Philo )k, Lab W. Rice, of Glenbrooi ce Tahoe, was precipitated over Shakspeare rock, last Sunday, and so badly injured that she died in about half an hour. She left her home at Glenbrook in company with two other young ladies and three gentlemen, and the party rambled to and ascended the high, rocky point of land running out into the lake, on whioh is situated what is known as Shakspeare rock, there being traceable on its face lines that bear considerable resemblance to the portraits of the great poet. The party made the ascent by the usual trail, and for a time remained on the Bummit of the rock, gazing upon the beautiful scenery spread out in all directions. Finally Miss Bice proposed to her es­ cort, Wm. Granmer, a young man, who is engineer at one of the mills on the lake, that they make the descent by a steep gorge leading down the face of the rock. All the other members of thj> party tried, but in vain, to dissuade the young couple from attempting the de­ scent. They took their way down the steep rock and presently reached a"cave. Starting from the cave they began slip­ ping, and slid down about fifteen feet to the edge of a precipitous part of the rock. The young man caught hold of a jutting point of the ledge, where he held fast, but was unable to retain his grasp on the young lady, suspended below him. Just before falling she said: "We must go, Will; there is no hope for us !" She fell a distance of about eighty feet. Young Cranmer managed to climb back to the trail, when he ran to the residence of the young lady's father, where he fell faint­ ing at the door. The people of Glen­ brook hastened to the fatal rock--which is distant about a mile in a southwest direction--taking with them such restor­ atives as were at hand, but having hard­ ly a hope of finding the unfortunate girl alive. On reaching the foot of the rock, she was found still alive, but unconscious and dying. She lay with her head be­ tween two sharp fragments of rock, blood oozing from her nose and mouth, her limbs broken, and her body terribly bruised. Miss Bice was not yet 18 years of age, and was a very beautiful, bright and sprightly girl. The news of ner terrible death was received in Carson City with a feeling of sadness that was universal, as she was well known to, and highly esteemed by almost all the people of that town. The remains of the unfortunate young lady were brought to Carson.-- Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise. Killing of Two of the Union Pacific Bandits. A correspondent of the Kansas City Time8 at Buffalo Station, Kan., gives the following particulars of the capture and killing of two of the Union Pacific express robbers, and the recovery of $20,000 in gold : "Two men riding jaded horses, and leading a heavily-loaded pony, came into the station and stopped for refreshments. The station agent's suspicion was aroused by noticing the name of Joel Collins on an envelope in the pocket of one of the men, which was exposed in drawing his handkerchief. It happened that Sheriff Beardsley, of Ellis county, and a squad of soldiers on watch for the robbers were encamped in a ravine near by, and, as soon as the men left, the agent notified the Sheriff, who mounted his men and soon overtook the robbers. They told him he was mistaken in the men; that they were Texas cattle men returning home. The Sheriff asked them to re­ turn to the station, which they cheer­ fully agreed to do. They had gone only a short distance when Collins suddenly turned and said to his companion. " If we have to die let us do it gamely.' Both attempted to draw their revolvers. The Sheriffs posse was too quick for them, and fired, killing both men in­ stantly. The gold was sewed up in the logs of a pair of pantaloons, and con­ sists of $20 piecesof the mintage of 1877. " The bodies were taken to Ellis, where an inquest was held. There were no papers on their bodies except a roll of poetry dedicated to Collins by a young lady, and which he seemed to prize highly. The name of the other man is not given. Collins is said to be from Dallas, Texas, and to be of a highly re­ spectable family. Sheriff Beardsley and citizens are in hot pursuit of the balanoe of the gang." To Cure Dyspepsia or Nervous De­ bility. Change your diet and manner of liv­ ing; drink neither tea nor coffee ; never drink at meal-times; after every meal, or during the meal, dissolve half a tea- spoonful or more of cayenne pepper in half a glassful of milk and drink it; eat plain food; never taste pastry of any kind. If you are troubled with sleep­ less nights, do not try to promote sleep by taking stimulants or opiates ; they do more harm than good; take a sponge bath just before retiring, and, if you are unable to do it yourself, get some one l« rub you well with a coarse towel; if yon wake in the night and cannot get to sleep again, get up at once, not lie until you "get nervous thinking about it;" take a foot bath; rub your limbs well, to get up a circulation; drink a glass of cold water. Do not expect to cure your­ self in one week's time; have patience, and try one month. In bathing, use your hands to apply the water, it is much better than a sponge; soften the water with borax, it is more invigorating than salt water.--Cor. New York Times. A YOTTNO man whom Prof. King had invited to accompany him on a balloon ascension at the fair in Rutland, Vt., went to the grounds laden with a big basket of lunch, an ulster overcoat, a fur cap, a pair of arctic overshoes, a whole change of winter clothing, an electric heater, a canteen. ? a opera glass and a life ptmerrex, THE Burlington (Vt.) Free Press says : " On the top of Prospect moun­ tain, near Addison, is a remarkable pond about three-quarters of an acre in extent Except a small space in the center it is covered with a thick moss, strong enough for people to walk upon. Poles are pushed tnrough this moss at any point, but none have ever touched bottom, yet there are large trees grow­ ing and people walk in safety. The moss fnrmo o mat, or carpet, and is de­ scribed as being exquisitely beautiful."
