base-is of blue granite. not laid in
courses. From this point to within a
short distance of the beginning of the
top of the roof the inside of the walls
Is of regular courses of granite, corre-
spending with the courses of marble
on the outside. For the top marble Is
entirely used. The work has been de-
clared the best piece of masonry in
the world. BY plumb line suspended
from the top of the monument inside
not three elghths of an inch DETECTION
has been noticed. The keystone that
binds the interior ribs of stone that
support the marble facing of the pyr-
amid cap of the monument weighs
nearly five tons. 1t is four feet six
inches high and three feet six inches
square at the top.
"On the 9th day of December. 1884,
the capstone, which completed the
shaft, was set. The capstone is five
feet 2k inches in height, and its base
is somewhat more than three feet
square. At its cap. or peak, it is five
inches In diameter. On the cap was
placed tip or point of aluminium, a
composition metal which resembles
polshe.. silver, and which was select
ed because of its lightness and free
dom from oxidation and because 1t
will always remain bright.
Staircase With 600 Steps.
"a staircase of 300 steps winds It's
way to the top, around an Interior
shaft of iron pillars, in which the ele-
vator runs; few people walk up, but
many descend that way, in order to
examine more carefully the inscribed
memorial blocks which are set into the
interior wall Mt various places. With
in the shaft formed by the interior
iron framework runs an elevator. max
ing trip every half hour and carry
ing If need be, thirty persons. As
this elevator and It's ropes are of un-
usual strength and were severely test
ed by use in elevating the stone re-
quired for the upper courses as the
structure progressed. Its safety need
not be suspected. The elevator Is
lighted by electricity and carries a tel
ephOne. Seven minutes are required
for the ascent of 500 feet; and one can
see as he passes all the inscriptions
and carvings sufficiently well to satis-
fly the curiosity of most persons. as
none Of these memorials has any ar
tistic excellence. An officer in charge
of the floor marshals visitors into the
elevator and another cares for the OBJ
servatory floor at the top: but no fees
are expected. The surrounding grounds
form Washington park.
"The view from the eight small win-
dows, which open through the pyra-
midon. or sloping summit of the ODE
lisk, 517 feet from the ground, in
cludes a circle of level country hav-
Ing radius of from fifteen to twenty
miles, and southwest extends still
farther, for in clear weather the Blue
Ridge is well defined in that direction.
The Potomac is in sight from up near
Chain bridge down to far below
Mount Vernon. and the whole district
lies unrolled like n map. To climb the
Washington monument is, therefore,
an excellent method of beginning an
intelligent survey of the capital and
of getting ones bearing"

pongee in some form appears. This
year there are lovely pongee parasols.
Some are mounted on brown frames
and sticks. with no other trimming
than brown cords on the handles and
brown tassels on the ends. Another
shows lovely blue butterflies en-
broidered all over the inside of the
parasol, with blue cord and blue

summer. white oXfords with black
shoe laces and black stockings. This
combination is sanctioned by New
York's latest decree. OF course the
generality of women will use the con-

AMERICAN SHIPS
NOW SEEN IN ALL
TRAFFIC ROUTES
DAYS of Famous Clipper Ships
Recalled by Revival of Mer-
chant Marine.

Washington. March 9.-For the first
time since the days Of the famous
clipper ships. American merchant
craft now are plying the hidden seas
carrying the products of the United
States to the farthest corners OF the
earth and bringing home both essentials
and luxuries.
The shipping board announced today
that the American merchant marine Iieet
built up under the spur of war neces-
sites now represented nearly one-fi1th
of the entire sea going shipping IN the
world and comprised 46 per cent OF al
ships clearing from United States
ports. as compared with 81 per cent
before the great war.
Trade routes not traversed by Amer
ican craft for more than fifty years once
more are invaded, with new routes es'
tablished to China. Australia. New Zea'
land. India, the Dutch East Indies, the
West coast of Africa and ports on the
Mediterranean. Ships flying the stars
and stripes also are running regularly
to South America, Great Britain ano
continental Europe as well as to Canaua
and Mexico.
The fleet now engaged in overseas
commerce consists of :s51 freighters, -
freight and passenger vessels, II oil
tankers, 80 sailing vessels, and 16 mis-
cellaneous ships. aggregatins 1.g6l 22oo'
gross tons. OF this total 406.32S gross
tons are employed in TRANSATLANTIC
trade. 315.925 tons in trans-Paclfi'
trade, 4O2,721 tons in South American
trade. 161 .252 tons in Caribbean anf
Mexican trade. and 1904 tons in Alas
ka and Canadian trade.
When the army and navy return tt
the shipping board the 353 ships whici
they are operating. the commercial flee
under the American flag will be IN
creased BY 1.S73.251 gross tons, max
ing the total 3.S34.750 gross tons, witt
many hundreds Of thousands OF ton
building or under contract.
