WASHINGTON MONUMENT.

The Famous Shaft Said 10 Be Slowly
Disintesratina.
The Washington monument, at the
national capital, highest of stone struc-
lures and designed by its builders to
stand as long as the pyramids, is suf
fering from disintegration that, while
not Immediately fatal, Will materially
shorten its life, says John s. Mosby,
Jr., in the Popular Mechanics Maya
zine.
The great shaft, 555 feet in height,
consists Of walls fifteen feet thick at
the base. These walls are made up
of an outer facing of marble blocks
and a four foot inner wall made of
granite and other hard stone. Between
these two walls there is a filing of
heterogeneous stone, held together by
a cement. This describes the first 100,
feet, which is the part now affected.
This part was built continuously from
the beginning of the structure. Then
for years the construction halted at
that height. 1t is the interior filling
between these walls that is now,
through the deadly effect of heat and
cold and dryness and dampness, at
lacking 1t alternately, beginning to
disintegrate and ooze out between the
joints OF the outer wall and the crew

Right from the beginning OF the city
OF London this street has held a posi-
tion OF high importance. 1t was part
of the highway to the royal palace at
the Tower OF London. From 1t have
been witnessed the procession OF kings,
the passing OF princes. the riding Of
the lord mayor to receive his sover-
eign.
The widening Of "the street." as it is
called by all journalists, commenced
over fifty years ago, In 1853, when the
city corporation first thought of I'M
dertaking this vast scheme.
During the widening many land
marks have disappeared. Houses fire.

ems have all been pulled down and re-
built.
Fleet street before the great FIRE was
like most other streets OF the city, SO
narrow that one could almost shake
hands from the top windows of the
small houses.
The object Of the city corporation is
to make street sixty feet wide to al
low free passage for the enormous
amount Of traffic which runs to and
from the west end, and the cost of the
scheme Is estimated at f1,OO0 0O0.--

FOR THE CHILDREN
The Weathercocks.

Any number OF players may take
part in this game. which is really good
fun. The four corners OF the room are
named after the four points OF the
compass, north being diagonal to south
and east diagonal to west. One OF the
players is called the wind. the rest be-
ing weathercocks. The latter should
stand in a line in the center OF the
room. When the wind" points to one
corner. calling out the name Of that
cardinal point, the weathercocks must
Immediately face the opposite points.
Thus II the wind" says South
they face north, and so on. II he
should name a point they are already
facing they must remain perfectly still.
When the wind" cries "variablel"
the vanes must raise themselves to
their toes and sway back and forth
until the name OF one Of the cardinal
points is again called. when, as before.
they turn to the opposite point.
Whenever the wind" shouts Storm
or Tempest" each vane must whirl
completely around three times. Any
player failing to obey any one Of those
directions, which are more confusing
than they sound. must forfeit some ar
hcle, such as handkerchief, hair rib
bon or trinket, to be redeemed by a
humorous "stunt" after the game IL
over.

One of the most amusing Of gymna-
STUN or outdoor games is cat and
mouse. A circle Is formed. and the
player selected to be the mouse stands

When the game is well learned much
excitement is added by having two

game more amusing. as the mouse, IL
