LINCOLN MEMORIAL NIGHT
OPENING PROVES SUCCESS

The experiment of keeping the Lin
coin Memorial open at night has proved
so successful that it will be continued
In making this announcement today:
Lieut.. Col. u. S. Grant, Sd, director OF
the ONCE of Public Buildings and Pub
lie Parks, said that large numbers OF
persons have patronized the Lincoln
Memorial, and that no accidents have
been reported to him.
It is proposed. he said, to keep the
memorial lighted until about the end OF
September, and on occasions when
great numbers of people are in the city
He does not believe that 1t is desirable
to have the Lincoln Memorial opened at
night in inclement Winter weather, as
the chances for persons falling on the
steps are materially increased.
Figures for the last month show that
between 7:30 and $3.50 o'clock pm.
there were 2,118 persons visiting the
memorial, and that from $3.50 to $3.50
the total reached 2,125. The number
of visitors averaged SAG per day for
last month.
Col. Grant authorized the night
opening Of the Lincoln Memorial on
June /, and since that date 1t has
been opened week days from 9 am. to
$50 pm. On Sundays and holidays
it is opened from am. to 4:30 pm.

LOST RIVER FLOWS
IN POTOMAC BASIN
Branch of Great Cacapon
Runs Underground for More
Than Four Miles.

Part Of the wa'~r that flows in the
Potomac River rast Washington comes
from the mysterious Lost River in West
Virginia, recently investigated by Of
ficials from the office of Maj. Brehon
Somervell Of the United States En-
gineer ONCE. in charge Of the Wash
ington district for the War Department.
The engineers, under the direction
of E. j. Merrick, jr., associate en-
gineer, came across the Lost River in
the course of the survey being con-
Quoted in the Potomac River Basin to
determine the possibilities in food con-
troll, irrigation, reclamation and hydro
electric development.
The Lost River is branch Of the
Great Cacapon River. which Is tribu-
tary of the Potomac River. The spot
where it disappears into the earth Is
w. Va. The river drops out of sight
for about or miles. Mr.. Merrick
explained today. upon his return from
an investigation of survey activities
The Lost River bubbles out of the
bottom Of the dry bed near the side
of a hill, some 81 feet lower than
where it disappears.
The bed of the river below where 1t
disappears into the earth appears as
il it had but recently become dry. for
there are the boulders smoothed by
the waters and the evidences Of the
sandlike bottom. but the inhabitants OF
that region advised the engineers that
that portion of the river has been dry
as long as they remember, in normal
times.
When the SHOWS on the mountains
melt and in time of freshets the river
flows in its erstwhile bed, Mr.. Merrick
said the natives assert, showing that
the underground passage Of the river
is of limited capacity.

Expects to Build Structure
That Will Serve as World
Model.
LIGHTING EFFECTS PLAY
DOMINANT PART IN PLAN
Exhibits Are Lighted Brilliantly,
While Spectators Are Kept
in Semi Darkness.

The new reptile house to be erected
in the National Geological Park at a
cost of 100000, will be of the aquar-
lum type, 1t was revealed today by
Municipal Architect Albert l.. Harris,
who is at work on the plans for the
new building.
Lighted effects play dominant part
in the aquarium type reptile house, Mr..
Harris explained. Here the exhibits are
lighted brilliantly and the spectators
are kept in semi-darkness, the contrast
being somewhat comparable to the
theater with the building darkened and
the actors standing in the glow OF the
spotlights and footlights.
Copied From London Zoo.
The idea Of the aquarium type rep
tile house was copied from the London
Zoo, one of the geological parks visited
by Mr. Harris and DR.. William Mann,
director of the National Geological
Park. in their recent reptile house study
in Europe. Every zoo of note on the
European continent was studied during
the extensive trip.
Still in quest of all Of the new features
in reptile house construction, DR.. Mann
and Mr.. Harris last week went to St.
Louis and Chicago to view costly rep
tile house additions to the zoo parks in
those two cities. They returned today.
Expects to Build World Model.
Harris said the visit to Chicago and
st. Louis was very profitable" and
that he and DR.. Mann observed certain
construction features, which will be
embodied in the plans for the new
reptile house in the washington Zoo.
And as a result of the study of reptile
house construction in Europe and the
United States. he believes the struc-
ture he is designing will be the most
modern reptile house ever constructed.
serving as a model for the geological
parks of the world.
The trip to Chicago and st. Louis
closed the zoo inspection tour of DR..
Mann and Mr.. Harris, and their atten-
ton now will be concentrated on COM
pletion Of the. plans for the new build
ing. Considerable progress already has
been made on the sketches and details
of design. The appropriation for cree
ton of the building now is available.

STONE YARD FIRE
LOSS IS $4,000
Train and VehicuIar Traffic Is
Tied Up by BIaze-Fire-
man Is Hurt.

One fireman was slightly injured and
train and vehicular trafic was tied up
as firemen battled a spectacular $4,000
blaze of undetermined origin which late
yesterday destroyed the ofices and a
work building Of the william B. Glib
Co. stone yards. skirting the Baltimore
q Ohio Railroad tracks at Eighth street
and Central avenue northeast.
The principal loss was machinery, and
Frederick H. Brooke, architect Of the
new British embassy, said small guam
tity of stone designed for the new
embassy building was damaged by the
fire. He said an investigation was being
made to determine the exact extent Of
the damage.
Fireman Steps on Wire.
Pvt. L. B. Stuart OF No. II Engine
Company was shocked when he stepped
on q high tension wire while fighting
the blaze. He was revived quickly and
sent to his home at 3611 Seventeenth
street northeast.
Two alarms were turned in. one from
box at Tenth and Hamlin streets
northeast. bringing fire apparatus from
the side of the railroad tracks opposite
the scene Of the blaze, and necessitating
stretching the hose lines across the
tracks. This caused officials at the
Washington Terminal to hold an out
going limited Of the Baltimore & Ohio
for more than 10 minutes, and an in
coming local the same length Of time.
Keep Blaze From Spreading.
The second alarm brought Fire Chief
George S. Watson and Police Inspector
Albert J. Headley to the scene. The
flames spread rapidly and in several in
stances the lack of nearby fire MIGRANTS
forced an extension Of water lines six
and seven blocks away. The blaze was
kept from spreading to an adjoining
garage, which contained gasoline tank.
Several large trucks stored in the gar
age were moved to safety.
The principle damage was confined
to two-story brick structure used as an
Office building and an adjoining brick
factory shed in which the stone-cutting
was stored. These buildings
and practically all Of the machinery
were demolished.
An unenclosed portion in the north
end Of the property, on which finished
stone products were stored, was slightly
damaged.

BODY IS RECOVERED
FROM TIDAL BASIN
Victim, rs, Lonely Since Wife
Died Year Ago-Suicide
Verdict Found by Jury.

The nocturnal rambles, begun more
than a year ago by Julius Griebel Of
2040 I street when the elderly German
lost his wife, and continued for months
in disappointments for the lonely man:
were ended last night IN the water OF
the Tidal Basin. A coroner's jury. after
an inquest at noon today, found YER
dict of suicide in the case.
It was two hours after he was last
seen, when a fisherman, casting for
catfish into the darkness, felt his line
foul some object.
The man on the bank. John A.
Astridge, ALE G street, hailed a pass
ing motor cyclist and asked him to
train his headlamp on the water in an
effort to identify the circumference.
Police Recover Body.
From where they stood on shore, just
beyond the Bureau OF Engraving ana
Printing, the two men sought to pull
the body in, but the line parted. They
summoned park police, who succeeded
in putting 1t inshore.
Fire Rescue Squad No. and the
Emergency Hospital ambulance were
summoned. The firemen labored futilely
over the drowned man for an hour.
The body was removed to the District
Morgue for the inquest.
The German widower, who was rs
years old. had lived alone at his home.
where he plated chair bottoms. and
where. 18 months previously. he and
his wife had raised canary birds to sell.
Visited FatherIand.
Since the death Of his wife in Decem-
Der a year ago the grieved man had
been much alone. Last Summer he
went to Germany. returning in the Fall
after making arrangements for young
niece. to whom he was much attached.
to come to America and share his
home.
The girl, however. left Washington
after a few weeks and took employment
with family in New Jersey. much to
the mans grief, neighbors said.
The lonely man later bought FOX
terrier dog and the two were insepa-
rable for several months, but the dog
either strayed from his new home or
was stolen about six weeks ago.
Mr.. Griebel was formerly sexton OF
the Concordia Lutheran Church, Nine
tenth and @ streets, and was well
known to German residents Of the Dis
trict.
Mr.. Griebel habitually took long
walks. his neighbors said, always alone,
except for the few months when he had
his fox terrier. He was last seen about
o'clock last night by his brother
Leonard of Colmar Manor, Md. just
before he started for another walk.
