cal ropronenUtivcs ? And , ( U not this
nhnt else is to bo gained by the transao
tlonl What else , it isaskoot Of course
it must bo good ; such oxcrciio ia bcno
fiuial to all , especially in the CMO of those
living for the most part sedentary lives.
1 admit a modicum of truth in this and 1
hold that gjinnastics are not harmful to
any person , if the pntctlco of them is
properly conducted. But hero ia the
main point t f my contention
The.ro are two fundamental foots , the
duo observance of which should regulate
the question of gymnastics among git-la ,
First , it ia essential to recollect that , in
asmuch its the imi-cular development ol
womim is naturally loss than than of mat
there are many reasons anotomiwl and
othcrivijp , fur believing that any attempt
to ongogo in nuvero inutcuUr exercise ia
bound to produce some distort ! in of the
frame. For instance , the largo mass ol
muscles composing the abdominal wall ,
owing the complexity of movement and
the situation , develops much moro readi
ly than do the muscles of the back , and
consequently the abdominal muscle , un
der the stimulus of gymnastic exercise
speedily becomes hypertrophiod. This ,
together with the fact that the generality
of movements In gymnastics imply a
burling forward of the upper part of the
body , ciuses the girl to stoop , or , in com
mon parlance , to "poke , " and the back
in time assumes an ungraceful rotundity.
In view of this , docs it appear expedient
to permit a young pitl to acquire an acrobatic
batic abnormality without any concurrent
advantage.
Secondly it eocm evident that nnny
ili are allowed to "take up" gymnas
tic * who arj phylie-ally unfit for any such
ixercirc , and ttien to r.qiiiro ono euch
girl aho may not object , but thia ia her
noakntas , not her fuult to perform a
gymnastic feat savors of an unpardona-
bio iudescrution , when on the completion
of her tank aho retires to her seat breath
less and deadly pbl > > , indicating the tx-
tent to which her heart has autlered from
the exertion. It ia poor kindness to ac-
curd praise in such cases upon the suc
cessful peiformanco if a leat which ia
purchased at such a prico. But I do not
condemn gymnastics for girla beyond the
excessive extent to which they are prao
ticod. Confined wjthin limits they are
oven desirable ; extending these limits
they are undoubtedly harmful.
And , therefore , I say , no parallel-bars
exorcise , no trapeze , no horizontal barer
or ladder exorciao thould bo permitted ;
but dumb-bell practice ad libitum , cum-
b'nod with aa much drilling as may bo
desirable. Everyone should bo diHied
during the eatly period of adult ago , but
the physique tf a woman is moro adapted
than is that of man to profit by this form
of healthful , useful exorcise. In con
clusion , no girl should bo allowed to en
ter a cyinnaotic class unless she can pro
duce a medical certificate confirmatory
of the fact that she does not sutfer from
any organic it sufliciency which might bo
aggravated by the physic * ! til'jrts in
dulged in.

As the work has now reached an in

permission to go to the top of the monument
ment "Wo are not granting any passes

am going over just now , and you can ac-
core piny mo up the shaft if you wish to
do so. "
' How muchdeilcction has boon noted ? "

"Not throu-oighths of a inch ; a trifle

reply.
"tlow much did you increase thu mir-

"ilero is where I took charge of the

breuk in the character of the inside
work which changed from rubble ma-
aonry to regular tiro-foot courses of
granite cormponding with the maiblo
courses on the onUido of the wall. Tbo

thickness of the walla , und thus lighten
the vnat load of inaaonry on the founda

lighter , and leaves it strong enough to
resist uny force it ia likely to bo subject
ed to.
"What in the character of the filling

LaUj.hlin and smiled. "Thero ia no

Aa the ukvdtor continued to ascend

"I'hosu,1'said ihu Uolonol , "aro mar.

"How thick is the wall at this point ? "
was asked.

from the top began to give the white in *

pointing , asked : "Do you BOO that
mark 1" abroad black line along the f < tco
of ono of the stonoa. "That is just 100
foot above the txllcst feather in the head
dress of the goddess of liberty on top of
the capitol dome. "
Just before the elevator cmno into the
broad sunlight the writer noticed the
corbt h thrco projecting from rach side ,
tqiiidistant from oneh other nnd from the
ungleo , the projection iiicionMtig with
every foot of thu ascent. ' 'Tnoso cor-

stopped , "will grow until they form
the ribs on which the roof will

Thu elevator stopped about -18(1 ( feet
above the ground Ibor of the monument.
The walls rosu just four feet higher than
this. Thosccno from the ton , aoon to bo
a familiar ono to the cit'r-ana of Washing
ton and visitors to the city , is truly mag
nilicont. The ( leer of the niunu.ucnt ia
on the pile of stonework seventeen foot
above the ground , The shaft ia now -I9J

Kiigineers will appreciate ttioditliculty ,

a vast mass of masonry like thi ; but , to
the uninitiated at least , the putting in
place i f the last atones of the marble
roof would seem to bo a tougher problem
to solve. Colonel Oaary'a si lution of it
waa made clear to his inquisitivecomuan-
ion by the aid of it wooatti model ; but it
in not such an easy matter to impart the
information tl ns conveyed to thu reader
without the aid of diagram * . Without
ventuting upon technical details , then , it
may bo bri < ily stated that ill ) framework
of the derrick , so 1 ing a familiar object
on top of the white shaft , will only bo in
iiao a few duya lot ger , to put in pluco the
lust five courses necessary to bring the
work to a bight of 500 feet above the
ground floor , at which hight the roof
will bo put on , The laying of
thcao _ remaining courses , if the
work is not delayed by bad weather or
accident , will occupy the workmen dur
ing this month and a part of the next
Early in .August , however , the public is
[ iroinised a grand transformation scene
311 top of the monument. All of the
frame-work will be cleared away , and in
its place a lofty derrick will bo erected ,
compoaod of four stout masta starting
[ torn the tops of the iron columns near
the angles , and loaning toward each oth
er until thty moot at the height of 75
foot above the top of the monument.
Around thcao masta , a little
below their junction , will bo
a circle of metal , and around this
citclu the horizontal arm of the derrick
will awing free in uvery direction. On
ttuut iron beams laid acrois trio top i f
thu monument and projecting twenty
feet over the edge on thu eatTt aide , it
strung pint form w 11 be built. Tlio roof
atonua will bu hoioUd by the elevator in
tSo usual way to the top of the monument
ment , and mil thin bo placed on an
iron carriage und run out on the project
ing platform. The arm of thu denick
will then bo swung over the stone > , and
it will bo hoisted and deposited in thu
plrico for which it ie intended.
Tno roof will bo a pyramid in form ,
like that on Bunker Hill monument ,
but much larger. The c < rbeli when fin
ished will bo the atone ribi or supports
of the roof. There ore three projecting
from the inner surface of each wall. Tno
four middle pms will bo brought closer
together until they liavo nearly mot , and
then a "four-way" keyatono will bo sot ,
uniting them. They will then present
the appearance of two Gothic
arches crossing each other at
right analea. The intermediate eight
after the two in each anglo have como to
gether will be keyed by largo stones fit
ting closely. On the atone rib-work thus
'ormod the largo flat foof-stonoa will bo
.aid in such a manner that each course
will rest upon the marble ribs and
iot on the course below. These ribs will
30 sot in the regular courses by the aid of
h derrick , until the course immediately
3olov the arm ia set , and then , of course ,
.ho derrick must como down und other
moans bo devised for setting the cap

To do this it will bo necessary to build
