This building also contains report a year a:o seem nl very i4;vr-ab- le TrC-iS,!'-Teacher- Professor Bell's liboratory and study, besides a museum of electric appliances, lu the bureau can be found sets of reports of institutions for the deaf, both domestic and foreign These sets are full or, at least, will be made so as fir as possible. Next to the reports are a larpe number of books and pamphlets all relating more or less to the deaf. It is intended to make this the most complete library of i's kind in the world. Od the same hide of the room one may see a complete set of the Annals for the Deaf, bouud in handsome volumes. Another paitof the room is given up to Hies of deaf mute papers. Many of these are already bound, while the others will soon see t: e inside of a bindery. Among the papers nVeatal by a hasty glauce we might mention tue Silent World both of Kendall Green and of Pniladelphia, the Journal, Kansas S:ar aud Hawkeye. Arranged on high shelves near the door are numerous volumes of statistics complied by the census ollice; aud histories of counties and cities. Several biographies and geneaiogus complete, the collection. BjIow these is what it would seem stauds at the head of all. Tiaced iu alphabetic order in drawers are thuusaand of cards, each containing a name which was obtained from a source making it probable it represents a deat person. Oa eacii card i8 entered ail historical data obtainable tuck as the age, place of birth, where educated, etc, of the person in question. In addition any information about a person or any mention of him in print is so noticed on the card that one can consult it as if it were an intfex. Foi instance, a Mr. D may be mentioned in the Aunals vol. 0, p 124, also in tho Silent World of a certain date. Now his card will show where to look for these notices. It can readily be seen how its value will constantly increase. Any information desired will when possible, be cheerfully furnished.
