The Worlds Boss Monument.

The iron stairway winding around
the interior framework OF the Washing
ton monument is now nearly compile
ted. When 1t is finished a limited num-
Der of passes will be- issued to visitors
who desire to climb to the fve.hundred
foot level, provided, however, they sup
ply themselves with lanterns. Not a
ray Of light enters the monument ex-
cept through the single door at the
base and the little windows or the roof,
so that a misstep in the darkness might
prove disastrous. Passes will there
fore be issued only to those who are
able to light their W path. ALI the
provisions made thus far by Congress
have been for constructing the monu-
ment. Now that it is completed APP
preparations will have to be made for
making its approaches more slightly and
convenient. At the same time money
will be needed for lighting it and fur
nishinQ other facilities for visitors, who
regard it as one Of the principal things
to be seen and visited at the Capitol.
stI see it stated" said a reporter to
Colonel Casey recently, ''that the top
of the monument moves morning and
evening on account of the heat of the
sum-
81 never made such a statement"
wa the reply. ''That is carrying the
thing a little too far. l do say. how
ever, that the top Of the monument
moves with the seasons, that is, in the
summer it swings a little to the north
and in the winter to the south. When
you consider that the distance travelled
is not more than three sixteenths Of an
inch, however, 1t can scarcely be called
q movement. There is movement in
everything for that matter, and it can
be made appreciable only when the
testing instruments are of such a deli
cate nature as to be able to measure it.
The swinging plumb hobs, now several
hundred feet long, which were used
continually as the monument was IN
course of construction, informed US OF
any movement in the structure. There
was always movement as the weight in
creased, but it settled evenly. The
roof of the monument Is only a few
inches IN thickness and will readily re-
spond to either heat Or cold, while the
body OF the shaft is so thick that tenn
perature has little or no effect upon it.
It is not surprising at all that the top
will move slightly by contraction or ex-
pansion, but the movement a be dis
tinguished only by the most delicate
measurements. 1t is the same way
with everything around US. Take that
wall over there" pointing to the State,
War and Navy Department building.
"You may find a little crack in winter
between a couple Of the stones. They
have contracted. Look for it again in
the summer and you can't find it. The
stones have expanded and closed it up
nicely, unless some dirt collected in the
crack, and then the mortar or cement
between the stones has been crumblec
by the expansion.
