which has been made visible to the eye
by the action of the weather.
This is the. very thing which the
in selecting the stone. for as it wears
with time. so will wear away the beauty
of the archs appearance.
The most alarming fact in connection
with the present condition of this marble
ornament is that Its magnificent front,
facing Waverley place. is cracked here
and there from top to bottom.
on the north wall are several large
splits, some of which measure thirty-six
inches, and running zig-zag through
more than one stone.
At. the base Of the heavy stone resting
on the main layer at the north side, and
on which the right column Of the arch
stands. there Is a wide crack which looks
founded when his attention was called
to these cracks on all sides.
that the stone was bad. 1t was evident.
he said. that the stone was not the best
that could be found, although It was
carefully examined before being dressed
weather that now brought the fact to
light.
Foreman ;lohnso, was positive in his
statement that 1t was not by settling
that the cracks were caused The
foundation was too solid for that, and
besides the manner III which the stones
were placed would not permit of set
"It may be a few years before any Sc
rious damage befalls the structure. and
Rut nH the fact re%aas aadd" sad he that
is bound to ruin the arch. The
snow settles on the stones 1t
when heavy rain falls or heavy
continually enters. and may work
tho ultimate ruin Of the structure much
sooner than Is expected.
n. II. King. H.. who was the builder
of the arch. was not at his offices in the
| Mills Building when an Evening World"
reporter called.
Two policemen are guarding the arch
: today from the ravages Of the numer-
ous cranks who hockcl there this morn
ing to try and remove the ink stains
: themselves.
Two Young men from BROOKLYN nearly
wore their arms off rubbing on a single
, stain for over an hour.
! The chemists say that the stains will
! wear off with time.

ARCH IS CRACKING.
The Beautiful Washington Me-
mortal Shows Signs of Decay.
Startling Discovery Made by a
Park Foreman To-Day.
Ink Spots Have Changed to a
Dainty Pink.
The crimson ink spots which have
marred the beauty of the Washington
arch, are very slowly but surely disap-
pearing.


THE CRACKS IN THE RAsE OF THE ARCH.
Foreman c. A. Johnson, OF the Park
Department, and half a dozen chemists.
made a thorough examination OF the
stains this morning, and concluded that
the task OF removing them by any
process OF rubbing was altogether use
less.
The solution prepared by Mr. David N.
Carvalho, the well-known photographic
expert. did all that 1t was expected to
do yesterd y. and would have COM
petely removed the red spots II they had
been merely superficial.
The examination made by the chemists
this morning revealed the fact that the
ink had saturated the stone to a depth
Of one-eighth OF an inch, so that the
only way the stains could be made to
Immediately disappear would be to cut
out just that much of the stone. AS It Is.
the deep red color has disappeared. and
in its place are streaks and spatterngs
Of a dainty pink.
The examination OF the stone this
morning developed something of more
Importance to the beauty OF the arch
Ryland Stewart, Treasurer OF the Arch
Fund, and one of its heaviest contribu-
tors, was present.
Foreman johnson discovered that the
base of the arch and its second course"
or layer We're already showing signs of
decay. The stone In many places Is
cracked to such an extent as to cause
fear for the safety OF the arch.
ON the west wall from the top OF the
pedestal that Is mounted on the second
layer of the base are numerous splits,
some of which are from nine to twenty
four and thirty INCHES long. The cracks
are not of AN ordinary character or OF
the kind which needs close looking TO
be discovered.
They were visibly opened and in a few
instances are what might be called
yawning cavities. They run In various
directions, generally from the top to-
wards the sides and bottom as IL follow
ing the grain of the stone.
And here and there peculiar circum-
stances In connection with this stone
stene In the arch has . peculiar grain
