The "electrolier" is lit in the Minnesota State Capitol dome in St. Paul, Minn., Thursday, May 11, 2023, to mark Statehood Day, Minnesota's 165th birthday. The electrolier," an old term for "electric chandelier," is over 100 years old, dating from when electricity was new. It measures 6 feet in diameter, contains 92 light bulbs and hangs over 140 feet above the floor in the Capitol Rotunda. It's lit only on special occasions, such as the annual Statehood Day or on the first days of legislative sessions. (AP Photo/Steve Karnowski)
