STARTLED BY AN OWL.
tt Sets the Wisdom of Learned Men at
Naught.


In ono Of tho many glass cases in the
Smithsonian institution at Washington is
n stuffed owl. This particular owl is the
one, in the words of the late President
Hayes, "that Jared the Washington monu-
ment." and therein lies the story.
During Centennial year congress re-
solved to provide the necessary funds for
the completion of the monument which
up to that time had been worked at only
while the several smaller appropriations
lasted. 1t was discovered, however, that
tho original foundation was likely to prove
incapable of sustaining the enormous
weight Of marble necessary for carrying
the shaft $50 feet above terra frma: A
new foundation was therefore needed, and
architects thought solid concrete bed 100
feet square and nearly / feet in thickness
would accomplish the strengthening de
sired.
During the operation Of replacing the old
foundation it was considered expedicnt to
provide means for noting carefully the
slightest vibration of the walls, lest tho
monument might be in danger of collaps-
ing. Accordingly a heavy weight was
suspended by Is stout thread from the apex
to n pan of thick strip located in the base,
so that no chance drafts Of air would be
likely to sway the weight. An ingenious
contrivance was so attached to the weight
that the slightest vibration of the shaft
would be faithfully recorded, and its inse-
curity would Mt once be AN esta blished fact.
one morning few months after these
careful precautions had been taken there
was a gront connection among the work
men. a complete record of numerous per-
turbations and tremblings had been writ
ten on the index, showing conclusivcly
that the mammoth obelsk had Jared,
swayed and settled during the night.
Scientific heads were obviously shaken.
After much persuasion one OF the men
finally consented to go to the top and OK
anime into the causc. The astonishing re
port came into the midst Of the anxious
| throng below that all owl in seeking shell
ter in the lofty tower had somehow man
aged to catch its wings in the thread anc
was still hanging there, suspended to the
interior of the monument, and the innu
morablo lappings and struggles of his owl
ship had all been recorded by the index a!
testimony against the stability Of plunt
laid marble blocks and solid concrete. -

Grimes again opened on the blOckhOuse.
Meanwhile the infantry was climbing
the slope toward the blockhouse, and
soon got in the way of the artillery
Then Grimes quit, having apparently
done little damage to the Spanish
stronghold
Captain Grimes is n veteran Of the
civil war and served from 1851 to 1865.
He began with the artillery in 1870.
He said that he could have finished the
blockhouse had the Spanish artillery let
him alone. But that was not to be ex
pected. There was not an artillery shot
fred during the morning hours to ST
lence the Spaniards, who were hurting
shrapnel upon the American troops in
San Juan valley, except what Grimes
fired.
Battery F, Second artillery, Captain
c. D. Parkhurst. went to Ell Poso hill
at 1 o'clock and opened or Fort San
Juan, but the American troops soon got
in the way, and the guns We're hauled
off, At s 80 this battery opened from
the captured hill upon the city and fired
an hour The officers say they saw no
target, but the dead walls of the houses
Bullets played about the guns, however
and Captain Parkhurst and three men
We're wounded Battery F was in Law
tons intrenchments during the bonn
bardment and silenced the Spanish on
its front in an hour. At this time the
battery had cover. Shell and shrapnel
We're used at the time, and the Spanish
were driven from their intrenchments
Grimes was also in the bombardment
and said that he fired at the artillery
trenches. The Spaniards in return did
not reach his battery. but dropped shots
among the American infantry. He lost
two men hit in the bombardment Ca
prom s battery slenced the Spanish ar
tillery on its front in hours during
the bombardment. General Shafter
stated in his report that his ertillery
apparently silenced the Spaniards But
his guns were all light and not equal to
battering down brick and stone walls
Three inch shells are effective against
troops. but cannot do much damage to
heavy works.
The Hotchkiss battery fired a few
shots at Fort San Juan, but did not get
to work until the infantry was nearly
to the crest and in the line of fire. This
battery was in the bombardment, Out
of four wounded only one was struck
by an artillery missile. Parkers Cat
ling battery, as is we'll known, did
wonders, but its missile is the Krag-
Jorgensen bullet. Parker's wounded
were struck by Mausers His targets
were men, not walls or parapets. Taken
all in ALL the artillery did as we'll as
could be expected with smoking powder
against smokeless Mausers.

on the same level, about. At the third
or fourth shot in answer TO Grimes a
single shell killed two of Grimes gun
ners and wounded four. He had 80 men
and three officers in the battery at the
time. Grimes had had the San Juan
blockhouse given to him for target,
and he did his best to make splinters of
the structure. After firing four or five
shots the Spaniards opened up, and then
began a three hours duel between the
American and Spanish gunners. 1t is
hard to say which got the worst of it.
A staff officer representing Shafter,
Colonel McClernand, stayed in the bat
terry and kept mp communications by
telegraph with his chief. The first shots
Of the Spaniards burst high and hit
some of the troops and horses, as we'll
as some Cubans on the hitber slope of
Ell Poso hill. AS stated, the third or
fourth shot landed on the target, so it
was evident that Grimes would not be
let alone in boinbarding Fort San Juan.
The Spaniards had absolute range and
could see by the clouds of smoke just
where the American guns were located.
But in firing at the Spanish artillery,
Grimes only guide was the flash, and
that not always seen. The first flash
seen was located between the blocllhouse
and building some distance one side
of it, in the rear On that range Grimes
pounded away until the military balloon
got between him and the target The
Spaniards turned their guns upon the
balloon, and the shots dropped among
the American troops
After the balloon disappeared the
Spanish opened from a new point to the
left of the old one and of the blockhouse.
The American cavalry had got up the
first spur of the ridge in that direction,
and fearing to drop shots among them,

War Introduces the Cent In California

Now the war with Spain is doing
with the l cent piece what retail trad
ers and the postal department failed to
do. The measure which congress franz
ed for raising revenues with which to
carry on the war makes it necessary
for every one engaged in business to
handle the copper cent. The telegraph
cannot be used without affixing a cent
revenue stamp on the written mes
sage, and no check can pass over the
counter of a bank and be honored with,
out similar treatment. This war meas
ure has thus forced on the Pacific coast
without opposition a coin which it
would have taken years of coaxing to
persuade it to accept by any ordinary
process. And it is here now as o fixture.
