HOW THE SHAFT WAS SAVED.
Engineers Skill Prevented Washing
ton Monument From Falling.
New York Tribune.

If there is a man in the world who
might restore the placidity OF Venice,
which has been so disturbed by the fall
of the Campanile and the precarious con-
dition of it's other famous types of archi-
lecture, he is the new American major
general who is shortly to relieve Chaffee
of the Philippine command. For II was
George w. Davis who saved the Washing
ton monument from destruction, and by
the application of his ingenuity solved
fundamental problems in his unique. or
hand manner that had baffled the highest
engineering skill of modern times.
After the great shaft to the father OF his
country had risen slowly to the height Of
1877 feet and rested there like a rough fac
tory chimney, an unfinished eyesore for
twenty years. congress determined to
complete it and gave the job to the army.
Built on the edge of the Potomac marsh,
as unstable as the soil of the queen OF the
Adriatic, the shaft had already leaned
five feet out of plumb and nobody could
be found to set it straight and insure its
permanent stability until Davis. lately a
quartermaster, then an infantry captain,
volunteered to lift the hundreds Of tons
Of masonry back to the perpendicular and
build under il a foundation that would
permit the lifting of its top to the high
est point ever attained by monument
erected by man.
To hold the soft earth in place he built
a huge barrel 100 feet in diameter around
the base and drove it deep into the earth
below the tidal level. He bound together
the inclosed mass with piles and braces.
weighing it all down with stones and
concrete, until ne had secured a stability
that would endure forever. Then he
wedged up the monument and put an ev-
erlasting foundation under 1t and finally
turned the work over to the engineers IN

capstone $50 feet above the earth. UP to
this day the great structure has not
moved hairs breadth and frequent in

Davis planned. But as he cannot be spar
