FIRST CYLINDER SUNK
FOR LINCOLN MEMORIAL
Test Being Made of Character of Soil
and Obstacles to Be Encoun-
tered in Work.

steel cylinder forty eight feet long and
four feet in diameter has been placed in
a hole eight feet deepA specially prepared
last week for it's reception, on the site
of the Lincoln memorial in west Potomac
Park. This is the first of 100 similar CYL
inders which are to be driven into the
earth to bedrock and then filled with ce-
ment. in order to provide a foundation
for the big marble. temple to be erected
to the memory of the martyred President.
Conner & Co. of Toledo have the con-
tract for building the foundation. and
they have Just one year in which to COM
plete 1t. They have installed complete
plant, including two large travelling
cranes, in charge Of a force of skilled
workmen. 1t is planned to prosecute the
work as rapidly as conditions will per-
init. Col. Harts, superintendent of public
buildings and grounds, who represents
the government in supervising the con-
struction of the memorial. is represented
on the ground by Capt. L. H. Watkins,
Corps of Engineers, one of his assistants.
Cylinder Used as Test.
The cylinder partially put in place is
in the nature of test as to the general
conduct of operations, as it is expected
it's gradual sinking into its permanent
place will determine the character of the
soil and the nature of obstacles, if any.
to be overcome in making stable fourida-
ton. When possible the experimental
cylinder will sink into the earth follow
ing excavation at its base, but conditions
may arise in which it may become neces-
sary to exert other pressure to force it
down. Blasting of rocks may become
necessary, and water is sure to be en-
countered in the lower reaches.
No serious obstacles are apprehended,
however, and it is fully expected that
the cylinder will reach it's ultimate depth
of nearly forty-eight feet below the sur
face of the ground late this afternoon.
The sinking of this first cylinder is ex-
pected to demonstrate how the work
NAV be prosecuted with the best results

The Ladies Man

Young Unison loves the tribes
of girls, and after them keeps
running: and all the Beryls,
Macs and Pearls just think he is
too cunning. He warbles love
songs by their bowers, and he's
a peach, they reason; he hands
them costly wreaths Of flowers,
and oysters in their season. The
naidens say, Hes sweet, DDS
6shr' And he, cheered by their
kidding. anticipates their slight
est wish, and hastes to do their
bidding. Bright smiles are al
ways on his face when he's
among the ladies. but when he's
at the old home place he looks as
SOUR as hades. His sisters an
enchanting maid-few smiles he
ever gave her: and when he's
round she is afraid to ask the
smallest favor. And with this
girl he's aye at war-he never
loved or kissed her: he saves his
sweet expressions for some other
fellows sister. His mothers old
and worn and sad. and if she
murmurs. Charlie, / wish you d
help me here, my lad" he looks
up. cross and snarly. LET sister
help YOU" he replies. her sad
voice little needing: these in
terruptions I despise-you sec
I'm busy reading!' Some day
he'll wed a dirnpled dear, when
he has saved the Doodle, and
when they're married half a year
she'd swap him for a poodle.
