WARRINGTON, July 1.-The completion
Of the Washington Monument by the e2d
Of February may probably be prevented,
owing to the inability Of the contractors to
supply the necessary dre:eed stone for the
pyramidal cap in time. The engineers in
charge WILL use every effort to avoid DELAY
BY using their own hands to aid the con-
tractors, and 1t is very likely that by this
means the programme can be carried, out,
The most interesting part OF the work will
be the building Of the cap. This will be
little over thirty feet square at the base,
and rise to an apex at the height OF titty
feet The covering or outer layer Of stone
will be supported by buttressed archer in
the interior. The construction of these
has already been commenced. The roof
can be built from the inside until all but
the nine highest stones are set, II u a.; 49,.
Then beams a foot equare will be nun mn
out at the point where the roof begins to
taper, aud from the,e beams great iojs.,
sixty feet long will rice upward along the
rooE A scatfolding feet wide will then
be built, and upon this elevated perch, $40
feet high, the masons will set the last
stones required to complete the shaft. "a
railing will be built around the scatIold,
and every precaution will be taken 10 in.
sure the safety OF those at work upon It,
The blocks OF stone will be moved hy i'm.
mense cranes. Tho extreme apex Of the
shalt will be copper pyramid secured to
the marble. Attached to this pyramid will
be copper wires carried down through an
inch: and halt hole drilled through the
stone. U.s. ~ " 9iT'fz555is' y, 4.
u These wires will be attached to the four
iron posts which form a part OF the elevator
machinery. At the bottom Of the ,ppe ,ts
will be other wires hich will carry of the
electricity into the ground. This will pro.
tect the monument from lightning and a
cousiderablea area around It. There will be
observation windows on all sides at the
height Of five hundred feet, on the point
where the root begins Its pyramidal form,
and there will be one window in the roof
itseli.. An elevator will carry the visitors
to the top. - & ~. (. !.

tho nations should unite in establishing
uniform snd simultaneous magnetic and
meteorological, observations in both the
Arctic and Antarctic region. His idea yas
elaborated, and in 1881 an official Polar
uommir3lon WIS authorised. The stations
recommended by this commission TO be es.

with the work OF establishing the station.
He left st. Johns July 18th of that year.
