All the laws of this coun ttry, from the days of George VVashing-"-ton'a administration down to the new--est of all statutes, are in that room. They are written and printed on parch--roent and bound In volumes, being numbered In the order in which they reach the state department. There are no fireproof cases in the library. Neither Is there any fireproof vault These unique documenta are ytored away in wooden cases which Would readily make food for flames.
