RE USED
Hams Plan at 1890 tor Me
mortal Highway avored
BY Officials


Plans for construction Of the
proposed national memorial boule-
Yard from washington to Mount
Vernon, across the Arlington
Memorial bridge, received fresh
Impetus TODAY from the discovery
pf an old survey made for the pros
ject which, with minor changes.
may now be adopted, in the opinion
Dc officials behind the project.
The plans win be presented to
the centennial commission created
by Congress to prepare Tor the
international celebration Of the
20Oth anniversary Of the birth OF
George washington. In 1882.
Made In 1890
One Of the most valuable surveys
Of the proposed route was made
BY General Peter G. Hams. e. S.
A., and was presented to Congress
IN 1890. This report with neces-
sary changes, probably win be the
basis for the proposed boulevard.
ii was intimated
The boulevard proposed by Cen
eral Hains begins at the Capitol,
runs through the Mall by the Lin
coin Memorial across the Potomac
on the Arlington Memorial bridge
and across the. experimental farm
area to a juncture with the county
road to Alexandra at Nplumbian
pike known as the middle road. "
Along this road the course lies
over Braddock Heights, where Brad
decks army camped before the de-
parture for Fort Duquesne, and
into Alexandria, passing by Shoot.
ers Hill where the Masonic Me.
mortal to George Washington now
is under construction.
Where the road crosses Great
Hunting Greek will be constructed
8 granite memorial bridge In honor
of Lafayette, DeKalb, Rochambeau
and other foreign officers who
fought in the colonial armies IN the
Revolution. This bridge would be
three.span structure similar in
design to the Arlington Memorial
bridge with heroic sculptural figures
standing above the piers. A. some
what similar bridge viii be con-
strlcted across the railroad near
Alexandria, according TO the plans
embodied III the Hams report.
11-Mile Length, Plan
I The highway will be seventeen
miles long, with a proposed width
OF $50 feet, including parking. Ac-
cording to this plan. the highway
and park would be divided into fifty
sections. comprising about an acre
each. and one section would be ap-
portioned to each State for erection
Of statutes or monuments to its
great men, thus making the bouIe.
ward a. veritable Westminster
Abbey.
AS variation from General
Hams plan. it is proposed that the
boulevard. after passing the Ma
sonic Memorial, continue directly
ahead into historic and beautiful
Cameron Valley, along the site of
the ancient Kings Highway. pass
ing at the foot of Mount Eagle and
the hill crowned by Fort Lyons.
joining the old Mount Vernon turn
pink down the valley.
This route, it is stated, would
avoid the marshy region OF Hunt
ing Creek, would pass through
more beautiful and more historic
country, and would obviate tna
necessity of constructing a long, AK
pensive bridge across the Hunting
Creek swamps.

A NUMBER of inquiries from
"A readers lead me to offer
here a little information about
some stellar objects of great
beauty and interest which any
body can see with the aid OF
small and inexpensive telescopes.
1 remark that such telescopes,
of various sizes, either mounted
on tripod stands, or those Of the
draw.tube kind, intended to be
held by hand with such incidental
bracing as may be convenient,
are now to be had in many opti-
clans shops, at prices varying
from twenty or thirty up to one
or two hundred dollars. 1t is
not unlike choosing of seats at
the theater; one has only to con-
suit his pocket book and the ex-
tent of his desires.
The serene summer nights con-
stitute the heydey of the anna
teur astronomer. Suppose we go
out Of doors, in some place where
there are no petty electric lamps
to cast their impertinent glare be-
tween us and the mighty stars or
E outer space, and set up our
tripod with it's telescope. 1t is no
more trouble than to get ready to
make a photograph OF a garden
party.
We have a good "threeinch"
glass, and eyepieces magnifying
from SO to 100 diameters. To-
night we are fishing for colored
double stars-the rainbow trout
of the sky.
1t is about p. M, near the
opening Of June. Almost over.
head we see the Great Dipper"
an asterism that prints it's own
name. The star at the north
eastern corner of the bowl is
faint; all the others are alike OF
the second magnitude. The mid
die one in the handle Is the
celebrated MiZar.
Seen With Eye.
Near 1t the naked eye detects
it's little companion, AlcOr. Turn
the telescope on Mizar and you
will be unable to repress an ex-
clama ton. The star is split into
two brilliant, sparkling gems
a diamond and a sapphire, both
aflame! The contrast Of colors
is so utterly unexpected and en-
phatic that it startles the eye.
