Tree of Steel.
Running through the center of the tower
Is one steel pillar, with branches at regular
intervals, like a tree. The branches are
the supports for the several floors. There
will be lots of room within the tower, and
it will probably be made use of for storage
purposes.
The descent from the top of the tower
was even more periious than the ascent.
The inclination is to glance downward,
immediate dizziness. On reaching the
level of the roof of the main building it
was seen that work has been commenced
toward placing in position the glass roof,
and 1t was explained that this part of the
construction would have long since been
completed had 1t not been necessary to
return the first consignment of glass to the
makers, owing to error in it's manu-
facture.
Step by step the ladders were descended,
until finally the temporary stairway was
reached. \ long breath was drawn for
thereafter the descent was well guarded.

With the exception of a rather stiff
breeze, all was calm and quiet at the top
of the tower. The only support afforded
the party were few planks resting on the
rafters, and fall. if the descending obj ct
did not happen to strike the beams of the
Intervening floors, meant a drop Of just
two hundred and seventy feet to the level
of the pavement.
WOrkmen Don't Mind 1t.
At the top of the tower were two stone
cutters. They were engaged in working a
small canal in each of the northeast and
northwest corner eminences, in order to
form a col nection for the roof. One of the
workmen was seated on an ordinary soap
box. which was tilted. the base resting
about two inches from the outer edge of
the stone platform. The man had his back
toward the edge and was whistling softly,
apparently as urccncerned though at
work on solid ground. About his waist.
however, was fastened a heavy rope, the
other end of which was made fast to a
raftor. This safeguard would probably
have saved a fall. but in case he had top

How the Work is Carried on at

VIE W OF TIL z CIT y

Within the past fortnight passers-by on
Pennsylvania avenue have had their at
tention arrested by the movements of men
at work about the upper extremity of the
tower of the new city post office building
AT the end of beam, extending from the
top layer of stone dozen or more feet into
space, a man has been busily engaged at
some occupation. presenting appearance
similar to that of an ant moving on pen
ell. Other work-nen passed to and fro about
the top of the tower. apparently in a dan
gerousiy careless manner. for their posi-
ton. and particularly that of the individ-
ual on the beam, was exceedingly perilous:
so much SO that the pedestrians and others
below instinctively came to a hal: and
gazed with deep interest at the proceedings
several hundred feet sky7rard. A misstep
a careless movement or an accident. how
ever slight in itself. would have meant a
plunge TO certain death. 50 a Star reporter
determined to ascend the dizzy heights and
see for himself just what those workmen
were doing and to experience. TO a degree,
at least, their feelings.
The trip was accomplished Yesterday.
