FREEDOM TO RECEIVE BATH.
Statue Surmounting Capital Dome to
Be Thoroughly Cleaned.

The Statue of Freedom surmounting the
dome of the Capitol is about to be washed.
The precarious work of erecting a scaffold
about the bronze statue is being executed
by Mr. Borst and his son Of this city. The
only supports for this structure are several
narrow lodges, one twelve inches wide and
the rest about four inches wide and these
two men have lifted all the timbers by
means of ropes and dashed them in position,
so that those employed by Mr.. MacNichol.
the contractor for painting and cleaning
the Capitol building, may work in safety.
The grease and oxide which discolor the
bronze will be removed with weak sOlu-
ton Of acid and then the statue will be
given coating of lacquer to protect it
from erosion Originally the figure received
treatment to oXidize it and give 1t uni
form color which it was supposed would
not be affected by the weather. The
primal color will be restored in the cleaning
process.
1t is nearly forty years since the statue
was placed in position and this is its
first cleaning. 1t was built up in sections
and the last section, comprising the head
and shoulders, was hoiSted December 2.
1863, flag being at the same time hoisted
above 1t, accompanied by the plaudits of a
large multitude assembled on the plaza
below. A national salute was fired by a
battery drawn up in the Capitol grounds
and this was answered in succession by the
guns of the forts then guarding the District
of Columbia.
The statue is nineteen and one half feet
in height and weighs 1900 pounds 1t
stands upon a pedestal eighteen feet high
The design was by Thomas Crawford
father of F. Marion Crawford the author.
The original plaster model is erected in
the fountain of the National Museum build
Ing. The figure was cast at the foundry of
Clark Mills, then being operated near Bla-
densburg.

Beset With Difficulties.

Mrs. M. E. Blackburn of 1913 10Th street
northwest has requested the removal of a
telephone pole in front of the above prem
ises. The electrical engineer has reported
to the Commissioners that this pole is one
of a line of poles that has been in service
for a number of years. The sidewalk on
this square is narrow and the pole is I'm d.
doubtedly an obstruction, but there is no
way in which the conditions can be i'm
proved except by the entire removal of the
pole line, which is not possible at this time
Moving the pole short distance one way
or the other would not improve conditions
since the sidewalk is narrow for con-
siderable distance. The Commissioners
have received a letter from the telephone
company officials. in which they state they
have plan under consideration for the
removal of the pole line at the present time

FIGHTING MOSQUITOES
down IN IUTU|LA

Honolulu Is not the only place In
the South Pacific ocean where war Is
being waged against the mosquito
The residents OF Tutuila, Samoa, have
started a campaign which Is being
very vigorously carried on and pamph
lets telling Of the danger from mos
auitoes have been scattered broad
cast. The paper of which the pamph
let Is made up Is by Vernan l.. Keh
logg. Professor of Entomology of
Stanford University. The following
are few extracts:
When a mosquito bites man, II
does so by piercing his skin with six
fine, needlelike stylets which, togeth.
cr with an enclosed sheath, constitute
the beak or proboscis OF the Insect.
Blood H. sucked up through the sheath
into the mosquitoes stomach, while, at
the same time poison, which produces
the itching pain of the. bite, and the
disease germs. II present in the mos
quito, are poured into the wound from
the sallyary glands and the mouth of
the insect.
Although 1t is probably true that
only certain kinds OF mosquitoes pro
duce disease land 1t is certain that
only the females bite mem, II Is near
ly impossible to distinguish the dan
gerous kinds from the harmless ones
when flying, and thus 1t Is best tt
avoid all kinds. II Is also probable
that the germs Of some disci'es
among them elephantisis, which at
iects the Samoan people more thar
any others in the world, and Is, In
deed, the worst scourge of these Isl
ands. are transferred to men not by
the bite Of the mosquito, but by thu
