Washington Star: The Washington monu-
ment has now reached height Of 40 feet,
and the customary shift is being made to
continue the structure twenty feet higher, at
which point another and last change will be
made as only five courses will then remain
to raise the structure to height of 500 feet
From this point the pyramidal roof, fifty five
feet, will begin An the stones which have
thus far been laid have smooth finish on
the inside, but the stones of the next course
will be put little on the inside, and the next
ones little further, and so on
these corbels forming the support for the in
terror arch, which will be the base of the pyra-
midal roof. 1t is expected that the monu-
ment will reach height of 500 feet in less
than two months time. Steps will then be
taken to commence the work upon the roof /;
and, while that work itself will not take more
than three weeks, the preparation for it will be
so delicate and of different character from
any heretofore made that it will be some time
before the laying of stone is begun. By the
1st of November it is confidently expected that
the structure will be under cover and practi-
cally completed There will be some finishing
touches to be made, perhaps, but these can
wait till next year, if necessary.
