Tbta Is the atation in wblch Congress took liaad to solve a railway problem which has .long been a bugbear to Washington.' Geo, Washington's origi nal plan of tnurt tban a century ago concerning tha system cf rad latins; venues will not be disturbed, and th station will bo located at the center of these avenue. The new station will be the biggest nd most ornate in the world. It will fee erected at the Intersection of Dela ware and Massachusetts avenue. The natural advantage of the Bite aa center of distribution baa been greatly enhanced by the creation of a plaza 00 feet wide and 1.000 feet long. The statlou will face directly to ward the dome over the center of the halls of Congress, balf a mile distant, ' and will be treated In aa architectural tyl In keeping with lea character aa the vestibule of the capital. The architectural motives for the proposed building have been drawn from tbe triumphal arches of Rome. Tbe plaza, ioptng gently away from tbe station, will be decorated with balustrades nd fountains, and a terrace separat ing It from the fore-court, about 100 feet wide, wilt surround the building. The station building proper will be I0 feet long and from sixty-fire to 120 feet In height. It will be built of white marble or granite. Tbe three entrance arches, 'fifty feet in height, will far etceed In scale their Roman prototypes. These central doorways lead Into a vaulted open-air vestibule, and thence Into the main waiting room. The forty-foot arcbe of the end pavilions are both carriage en trances. Tbe one toward the east Is for official use, and leads to a suit of REMARKABLE . Tb Sun ha already reported the departure from New York of a party tin charge of Mr. Phillip Vomer, which la going to equatorial Africa or the purpi of procuring a number iof the remarkable p)gml of that re tstun. Mr. Venter served for some year a n ineJlral missionary la a large dis trict to the south of tb Congo river, I where on of the largest group of tdwarfs 1 found. He knows a contld crsMe number of them, and this fact is likely to contribute to the surce of tits mission. The pygmies are purely of the negro type, but am abnormally darfd. and no rvplanat'on of the curious tact baa yet bu dlicovrred. unless the pyx mtet may be accounted for on the the ory that at some time In the dis tant pat the ix-gro race developed a ti-tt Jcn y to generate families ot stunt ed ststtire. t)n the acmmpanylng map every place In equatorial Africa wberu tbe pygmlea are known to live la shown by a black dot. One may see at a glance that they are widely scattered vwr the equatorial region, for thy are spread frouv near the Atlantic ocean lo within 100 mile of the In dian ocean. The existence of these pygmies was known a the ancient Egyptian and llerodotua mentions them in bis his tory, but they had not been seen for twenty cttnturies and the modern world refused to give any credence to the atorles of their existence. I'p to forty five yeara ago there was no rood evidence that there were any pycmle in Africa. Then in 15 tb America explorer I Hi fhalllu discovered the IWbongo dwarf among tb forests near tbe Atlantic. The group of pygmlca which he reveal Is marked on the map. anJ a fi'W center cf Cwrfs In the sam region, discovered by later explorers, lo are Indicated. Tb world regarded tbe story Uibt LTT:.il.itf"- ' apartment especially for the Presi dent and tbe guest of the nation. Tbe general waiting room, 130 feet wide and 220 feet long. Is to be cor ed by a Roman barrel vault ninety feet high, decorated with sunken cof fer or panels after the manner of the Baths of Diocletian. It Is lighted by a aemi-clrcular window seventy-five feet In diameter at each end, and by five semicircular windows of thirty feet diameter on each side. The architects Bay that not even Imperial Rome pos sessed a ball of such proportions. The station will have no large span train aheds, since a roo. sufficient to cover them would dwarf the dome of the most notable building In Wash ington and would mar tbe beauty of the city. Ordinary platform aheds have been adopted, which will over lap the trains and afford sufficient pro tection from the weather. One of the novelties of tbe new sta tion will be an Invalid's room, located on the passenger concourse. It will be Immediately accessible from tbe trains and will be provided with every convenience. A resident physician will have his offices there. Several mortuary chambers for the use of peo ple accompanying tbe remain of rela tive or friends are so located that a hearse or carriage can approach or leave without coming In contact with tbe public services. For the convenience of business men and tourist desiring to spend only a day In Washington comfortable dressing-room with baths have been provided, and In connection wltn them will be a Turkish bath and a swim ming pool. The cost of the entire Improvement will be about 11 t.Oon 000. The govern ment give fS.0"0.noo a It contribu tion toward the expense of abolishing grade crossing, and.

TO AMERICA Value of Appreciation. Many men and women undereU mat th value of expression; they take too many thing for granted; they aum that their affection, ot their gratitude, or their eense of obli gallon Is understood without word Such people are often surrounded bj thoee who are craving some exprea slon of affection, aome word of ap proval, some kind of recognition. Tbe best wirk is sometimes don with shut teeth and a fixed purpose In dead silence, so far as tbe world it concerned, without a murmur of ap plau or a word ot thanks, but thli Is not the way in which work ought to be doue among tuMilgcut men and women, and It Is not the way Is which, as a rule, the In t work It evoked from the greatest number ot proi'le.
