III HISdSO, Ine WOriu IdIlOuS LOT
- " an axis. fanked by the Queen
City of Wisconsin, and Detroit the
Fairy Goddaughter of Michigan-sail-
ing from Duluth to Buffalo tarrying
awhile at Toledo and Sandusky and
Erie-shame upon them--we look
with single exception, in vain for
some evidence that less than 100
years ago there lived man named
Oliver Hazard Perry, and save as a
fishing resort that there is, or ever
was a place called Put-in-Bay. All
honor to the single exception. In
Cleveland. that miracle of Modern
Progress which carries Ohio's chal-
lenge to the great Northwest we do
learn that on the 10th of September,
1913. a battle was fought by Oliver
Hazard Perry at Put-in-Bay which
entitled the victor to relate that we
have met the enemy and they are
ours"
The above are the stirring and ali
too true words, written by Henry
Watterson. the able Editor of the
Louisville Courier Journal. and the
First Vice President General of the
Interstate Board which arranged for
the proper observance of the Centen-
NAL of Perry's victory.
But things are changing. Tho Ma
ton is working up. Under the au-
spices of the National Government
and the States Of Ohio, PENNSYLVANIA,
Michigan. Illinois, Wisconsin, New
York, Rhode Island. Kentucky and
Louisiana, the municipalities of tho

the statue, for although it's lofty posi-
ton prevents this statue from being
examined every time there is gen
eral housecleanlng at the Capitol the
oihcials nevertheless keep pretty close
tab on the status of things at all times.
Examining Dome And Statue
The experts who went aloft found
that the steeplejack who set the coun-
try agog a few weeks ago jumped to
the wrong conclusion. What he mis-
took for rust and corrosion in the
interior of the bronze ball on which
the statue rests was found upon in
vestgation to be nothing more nor
less than great mass Of carbon dust
High up on the dome of the Capitol
there is a circle Of arc lamps which
blaze forth on the occasion of night
sessions of Congress to indicate to
the capital city that the national leg
islature is at work The burning car
bon from these electric lamps flies
upwards in clouds and has settled
thickly on all the exposed surfaces.
1t was this deposit that the steeple-
jack mistook for rust--ana 1t would
have been n serious matter indeed
had 1t actually been rust.
When the superintendent Of the
Capitol had completed the survey of
! the dome and statue he concluded
that. although Congress is in session,
there could not be more opportune
time for rejuvernating the dome than
tho late summer and early autumn OF
1918.
The Three fold Project.
The giving to the dome of a new
lease or life, as it Is now being car
ried out, is In reality a three fold
project. The most extensive portion
Of the work is found in the repaintine
of the dome. The most daring feature
is the cleansing of the statue-it II
merely washed with soap and water

safed to her only at long intervals.
The Lightning Arresting Spikes.
About the most valuable ornaments
that adorn this patron CANT of the
Capitol are the points or spikes which
serve as lightning arresters. These
charms that protect the Goddess from
Jove's wrath are sometimes referred
10 as the gems in Freedoms crown but
that is little exercise Of dramatic
license because, as a matter of fact,
not all of the spikes are placed in
position on the head OF the figure.
one is on the shoulder and the others
are distributed at points of her ana
tony exposed to the bolts. What
renders these points particularly effect
i've Is that not only the statue but
the entire dome which 1t surmounts
Is of metal construction and thus con-
stitutes one gigantic lightning rod.
Bolts OF lightning striking any one
of the points on the statue are con-
Quoted to the ground without harm
to either the statue or the dome.
About thirteen years ago all the
spikes that adorn Freedom had to be
renewed but the examination this year
showed that although all the points
had been repeatedly struck only three
of the seven had been so bent or
melted down that it was necessary to
renew them. Each OF these safeguards
against lightning costs Uncle Sam a
pretty penny as may be surmised
when II is taken into account that
gold is employed and also platinum,
which latter is just now even more
popular in the world of fashion than
lis gold. The base of each spike,
measuring some four or i've inches
is constructed of brass in the special
machine shop which is one of the old
adjuncts of the L. S. Capitol. This
brass base is then plated with gold,
The foundation Of the tapering point
is OF aluminium and at the tip is the
platinum upon which the prong de-
ponds so much for its efficiency. But
says Uncle Sam 1t Is cheap protection
at 500.
Painting The Dome.
The painting of the Capitol dome
requires steady nerve but there
was no difficulty in finding thirty-siX
men willing to risk life and limb In
Frightening up tho best-known bit
OF architecture in America. The head
painter says that there is no undue
danger If a man will only keep his
mind on his wor'; and not get tc

Shetland Ponies In Mines.

While thousands of Shetland ponies
furnish amusement for the children of
England, just as they do for the boys
and girls of the United States, much
larger number are used in the English
coal mines. The tunnels of the Eng
fish mines are not nearly so large as
those of the mines in this country, and
it is necessary to have very small po-
MES to draw the coal cars from the
pits. The only alternative would be
to enlarge the tunnels, a plan which
would entail too heavy an expense to
be even considered by the English
mine owners. The limit in height Of
ponies used by the English miners is
forty-three inches. They prefer to have
them not over thirty-eight inches high,
low, stout, compact little fellows. In
the old days it was common practice
for English miners to use mother po-
MES when they were not in cond1-
ton to stand hard work. But law
was passed some years ago prohibiting
the use of female ponies Of any age in
the mines. Recently another law was
passed prohibiting the use of male po-
MES that are not at least four years
