AT THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT Always llurlnir Course of Construc tion, Method Wn Provided to Conduct Electricity from Clouds to Sufe Ground. Protecting tall edifices from danger ot being struck In case of lightning diirln? electrical stormii occupies much of the time of the builders The lightning od plan Is usually accorded the most ofll dent means to safeguard a building, and a system working on thl prlnclpli 's doing everything toward the protection of that very vulnerable shaft, the Wash ington monument This equipment Is not vlatblo to the outside observers and li rarely mentioned to sightseers, who have probably never wondered how great would be the fall thereof If the monument were to be struck and disrupted. At the very beginning of the construc tion of the monument a plan for protec tion was provided. The possibility ot Its being Btruck In case of a storm was obvi ous, so the protective plan matured with the blue prints. The four Iron beams forming the frame work for the elevator shaft which rises In the center of the monument were al ways, during course of construction, made to extend higher than the surrounding masonry, o that when tha Hhaft was left la an unfinished stato during the civil war, at the height which is indelibly marked on the outside, the beams ex ceeded In height. The purpose of this was to havo them serve doubly that of attractora and conductors of the llg.it nlng which would play about the monu ment and framework for the elemtor. At the base of the beams, where they rested on their foundation stones, copper wires were attached. There were run to an underground well thirty-two feet In depth under the shaft. Thl well was filled with water and had a bottom of clear sand. Under this sand ran a thin layer of water In which was grounded a flat copper plate. It was to this p'ate that the wires were attached. Thlb seemingly Intricate grounding Is an Illus tration of tha delicacy with which the details for tha protection were worked out. During the suspension of work this sys tem adequately protected the monument. When the work was resumed the beams were extended to the point where the crowning pyramid joins the slanting .'idea of the shaft. When the pyramid was completed the most delicate work was at hand. At the apex a height of E65 feet a top of pure aluminum, then so expensive tnat It was worth about 115 a pound, was ad Justed. From this tip directly tt the summit of each shaft on the Inside ot the pyramid were extended and connected four copper rods about one and one half Inches In diameter. This connec tion then formed u complete course for the conduction of the lightning flashea In electrical storms from the apex down through the construction beams to the Inundated plate In the grounding. Tha monument was finished in 181 and the system effectively protected until April 5, 1SS5. Then, during the course of a severe storm, five Immense sparks were seen to contor on and fly from the apex, but no damage resulted. Two months later, however, during another storm, a severo dlschurgo of lightning cracked n stonu under the apex 'in 1 forced It slightly outward. Tho efficacy of tho system was then questioned, anil a decision to Investigate resulted In tho appointment of a commission composed of Colonel Casey, United States army engineer corps; Prof. Henry A. Itowland of Johns Hopkins university and Prof. P. C. Mendenhall of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. These three men were about the most prominent In tha electrical world at that time and of all tho most compotent to Judge and de cide. They Investigated and concurred in the opinion that tho fault of the system lay not In Its Insufficient carry ing capacity, but was due to h deficient number of points of attraction. To remedy this they extended ten rods horizontally around the pyramid. On each of these rods, at an Interval of tlvo feet between, were placed pointed conductors, gold plated and tipped with platinum, three Inches In length. There are 3W of these conductom In ull, -xpoved on the pyramid, pown the four outer edges of the pyramid from the upex cop per wires wero run. They were brought forward toward the center to connect with the Iron beams. These four wires, then, crossing tho rods holding the small pointed conductors, connected them and the aluminum apex to the beams. With the four wires that were placed on the Inside of the pyramid ua original con nection there nre now eight wires con necting S01 points with the grounding, whereas beforo four wires had connected with one point. This Increase was tho rpmcdy tho commlHxlon effected. It mude no alteration In tho grounding, which remains today the samo as ever. Tho change in tho attractive mechan ism of tho system seems to havo Justi fied Its expense, for the 11,300,00) testi monial to George Washington has boon weutherlng tho storms for the last twenty-eight years intrepidly und without mishap.

I)y 1S3S tho land was yielding seven bales of cotton to tho two acres which had first furnished about two-thirds of a. bale each. This ex-slave took up seed se lection early and pioduced a hlgh-ylejd-Ing strain, known locally by his name, us Sam McCall cotton. Ho has practiced crop rotation during tho last few years to advautuge. Ho plants one crop while another Is maturing, thus keeping tho lands always occupied, getting a crop each of oats, corn and cotton from the same ground In one year. The goal ot his ambition Is to raise ntno UM-pound bales of cotton on ono acre; ho has al teady succeeded In raising a Kti-pound bale on a measured eighth of .an acre. In one year hn has produced, from one acre, three bales of cotton, fifty bushels of oats vand fifty bushels of corn, ac cording to this account. Farmers Uulletln No. 616 of the United States Department of Agrlcul turo describes the rcmarkablo intensive farming of Samuel McCall, a colored man of Alabama. This man had two acres near his cabin. It was about twenty-one years ugo that he first took hold ot the little place and determined to seo what l e could do with It. Tho Uulletln de scribes the process as follows: Ills first effort was to Improve tho or ganic content of the soil. Practically everything produced by the koll. except the lint cotton and a portion of the seed, was returned to It. All tho manuro nro. I duced by his horse and two cows was I ui-cd, but no commercial fertilizer except a little cotton-seed meal under oata. Gradually the soli was made deeper by j plowing until In a few years It was open STAMP-LICKINGJS DOOMED Postal MatiipinK Machine Intended to Do Avtay with Postaiie Htumps. Is tha postage stamp doomed? It U If a postal innovation hailing from New Zealand, where It has been tried with great success. Is generally adopted by the postal authorities of tho world. In the future. Instead of buying postage stamps, "licking" or otherwise moist ening the gum on their backs und, ap plying sufficient pressure to causo ad herence, all we may have to do will bn to put uur letters under a machine and turn a crank The muchlue, which In New Zealand Is rented from the postal authorities, re cords tho amount stamped. Just like a gas meter, and payment Is mado to a collector, who culls at Intervals. It gives Impressions of halt penny, one, two, threo nnd six pence and ono shilling, und an each impression is made Its value Is automatically recorded, on a set ot dials at tho top of the machine. On tha front of the machine Is an In dicator handle, which Is set by the oper ator to show the value ot tho postage required. On the right hand side Is an operating handle with the trigger at tached to It. At the bottom Is an opening in which the matter to be stamped Is Inserted, When this Is done, the operating hundln Is pushed around until a complete, circle has been mado, when It Is automatically locked. At tho same tlmo the value of the Impression taken Is added to the total recorded by tho dials shown at the top of tha machine. As a precaution against fraud, tha ma chines aro turned out from tho work shops with only ono means of opening them, and that Is by a patent lock, the key of which Is handed to the postal authorities after tho machine has been exhaustively tested. There are no Bcrews that will glvo admission to tho Interior and therefore tho mechanism cannot be tampered with. The greatest safeguard, however.. lies In the fact that the Impres sions are not salable and the labor ot committing a fraud would be valueless. From an economical point of view', the saving to any government using the ma chines would he very considerable, as they do nway with the cost of printing stamps and tho labor necessary in con nection with Issuing: and ohecklng them. At present the machine Is only manu factured for using Impression of th British coinage values, but all tha parts for Blterlng to the decimal coinage of any nation have already been prepared, so that It would be pqssible to supply them to any other nation on very short notlec Popular Mechanics.
