HGeoloaIcaI tuberculosis"

The Washington monument at the
national capital, highest of stone
structures, and designed by its build
ers to stand as long as the pyramids,
is suffering from a disintegration that
while not Immediately fatal, will short
en- its life, says John S. Moshy, Jr,
in the December Popular Mechanics
Magazine.
The great shaft 555 feet in height,
consists of walls Is 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 filling of heesr-
ogeneous stone, held together by CO.
ment. 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 filing
between these walls that Is now,
through the deadly effect Of heat and
cold and dryness and dampness at
lacking it alternately, beginning to
disintegrate and ooze out between
the joints of the outer wall and the
crevices made by the action Of the ele
ments.
