and eight feet higher than the Washing

feet higher than tina: of Bunker Hill, and
twenty three feet higher than the Trinity

considerable dome Of iron in the world.
1t is vast hollow sphere of iron, weigh.
ing 5000 900 pounds How much is
that? Notc than four thousand tons, or
about the weight Of seventy thousand full
grown people or about equal to thous
and laden coal cars, which,. holding four
tons apiece, would reach two miles and a
half Directly over your head is figure

pounds. The pressure Of the iron dome
upon its piers aud pillars is l3,477 pounds
to the square foot St. Peters presses
nearly $4,000 pounds moretO the square
foot ST. Genevieve, at Paris, 10000
pounds more. 1t would require to crush
