Washington Star.
The scene from the top soon to be q
familiar ono to the citizens of Washing
ton and visitors to that city, is truly
magnificent, and no attempt at descrip-
ton would come anywhere to con-
veying a true idea of it. 1t is as novel
as lovely. The city is spread out below
you with its beautiful streets, avenues
and parks clearly outlined, and the
grand public buildings and other prom
inent structures, dwarfed in their dimen-
sions, until they look like toy houses.
The agricultural grounds, and further
on the Smithsonian park and grounds,
backed by the capitol, make, perhaps
the most striking near picture of this
grand panorama; but the view of the
White House, Treasury and State de-
partment buildings to the north, and
the picturesque city of Georgetown to
the northwest, with the bold architect
ure of the college building, are hardly
less beautiful, while the winding river
to the west and south, and the amphi-
theater of hills to the north and west of
the city are transformed by this view
from mid-air SO IS to be hardly recog-
nizable.
Look down to the ground below"
said the colonel.
The elevated scribe looked down
through the netting. and for the first
time had a realizing sense of his dizzy
altitude.
- am now looking down from q
height of nearly 500 feet?" he family
queried.
More than that" responded the col
onel. The floor of the monument is
on the pile Of stonework seventeen feet
above the ground. The shaft is now
$50 feet above that, making 5O7 feet;
and to that add your own height, and
you havei it exactly"

DR.. A. Berghaus, in Popular Science Monthly,
The celebrated physician, Boerhaave,
believed that nothing breathing with
lungs could live in an atmosphere having
as high a temperature as that Of the
blood. According to this dictum, one
ought to die at a temperature Of 100
deg, but Banks enjoyed good health on
the Senegal when tho Thermometer rose
in his cabin to 100 deg. and 100 deg.
Men live on the southwest coasts Of
Africa, and in other hot regions, where
the heat of the sand under their feet
reaches 40 or $50 deg. Men in deem
mining shafts and under diving bells
are able to support an atmospheric
pressure of30, 900 kilogrammes as we'll
as a pressure Of only 8 900 kilogrammes
on the highest mountains. Cassini
thought that no animal could live at a
greater height than 400 meters. or
10000 feet; but there are several inhab.
tied places situated at q still create,
height, as, for instance, Gartok, in the
Hlmalayas. Alexander Won Humboldt
assembled C%himborazo to a height of
nearly 5000 meters, or IS, 2s6 feet, With
II suffering any harm. The pressure
OF the atmosphere is so light at such ele-
vations that, as Humboldt was assured.

r1a, and the power Of barking in Surf

breeds Of dogs can not long endure the
conditions of . height of more that g.
76O meters, or 70, 800 feet, while there

TEN MEN DROWNED.
WGrkmen Lose Their Lives i'm Lake
Michigan.

Ten men, employed in the construction of a
new water tunnel for the village of Hyde
Park, near Chicago, were drowned in view Of
the village at 6 o'clock A. NJ
There were fourteen men employed upon
the work of sinking the tunnel and construct
ing new crib at point in Lake Michigan
one mile from shore. Above the crib had
been constructed platform about forty feet
square, supported by poles, bound to-
gether by heavy chains and supported by
heavy timbers resting upon piles Upon
the platform had been built small cabin, in
which the men slept and took their meals,
having lived there for the past three weeks.
About ) o'clock the sea became so heavy
that portions of the platform We're washed
away. The men were awakened about
$50 o'clock by the spray which with
every wave washed the side of their
hut. They were not much alarmed and pro-
ccedod to eat breakfast. The storm contin-
ucd to increase in fury and finally a great
wave struck the cabin an | carried it away
INTO the boiling sea, and with it every man
upon the frail structure.
Twelve of the men succeeded in climbing
upon the huge stringers, and lying face down
with their arms around the beam, they
awaited the arrival of assistance Every
moment increased their danger, and the
waves with terrible force tore them one by
one from their anchorage, until only eight
remained, In the meantime the crew of the
Chicago Life Saving station had been ad-
vised Of the peril of the men and we're de
spatched to their rescue. They arrived at the
scene about II o'clock, and when they were
within throwing distance u line was made fast
to the tnnbers by the almost exhausted men
The eight survivors attempted the feat of
working through the surf to the boat along
the rope, but only four succeeded in reaching
the vessel, the others being washed into the sea.
One of them with the aid of plank succeeded
in reaching shore.
