B, TAYLOR'S VIEW: Prof. Wm. B. Taylor, of the Smithsonian In- stitution, stated that he had no theory on which to explain the recent accident to the | monument or to prevent recurrence. He had given no attention to the matter beyond what was in the newspapers. He had not been in the monument and knew nothing of its con- struction or its safeguards, and therefore was | not competent to make ahy explanations or | suggestions, “It was a complete surprise to me,” he said, “that the lightning should hav actéd as it did, should imagine that all n sonable precautions had been taken, and_ the only natural conclusion is that the'inside af forded stronger attractions to the electricity than the outside. Hf such is the case the rem- edy is simple and there Is but lttle chance of arecurrence.” 3 each, with all modern improvements, The Street to be opened by the company will cost about $30,000 or $40,000, and will be named Wylie street. —————— CoNTRACTOR MARSHALL FATALLY INJURED. ‘The supervising architect of the ‘Treasury re- ceived a telegram to-day, stating that ‘J.

THOMAS TAYLOR, of the Agricultural department, thought that great care should be taken to connect all metal bolts or guttering directly with the interior con- ductor, He spoke of aspire in England forty or fifty years ago having every stone in it cracked by the lightning jumping from one me- tallic joint or seam to the next. He pointed to the roof of his own house, where three spots newly shingled attested the’ jumping proclivi- ties of lightning. At points above and on either side of a dormer window the shingles had been torn off, but none of the intervening shingles were harmed. The explanation offered was that the electricity had torn off the shingles at the top in on effort to reach the guttering be- neath them, which extended down on either side of the window. It followed this gutter, and when it passed off again tore off the shingles, CAPT. WHITNEY THINKS NO SYSTEM CAN AS- SURE PROTECTION, Capt. Whitney, manager of the Western Union Telegraph office in Washington, in talking to a Srax reporter on the subject of protecting the Washington monument from injury by light- ning, said he doubted if any sure system of pro- tection could be devised. He said that the top of the monument is often above the storm clouds, and then lightning is just as apt to strike ‘one of the corners or sides as the top. In such an event the conductor within would be of no value. —_—___—oe0—_____ What Senator Dawes Says. in the latter cao Would tmply on indorsement ‘to this he ‘ald'not think ‘the Senate | stellation, The vessel will remain here until 1k The Naval Cadets, THEIR SUMMER CRUISE—SOMETHING ABOUT THE VARIOUS CLASSES, ETC, ‘Correspondence of THe EVENING STAR, ANNAPOLIS, June S, 1885, This morning at 8:30 the cadets of the first, third and fourth classes emharked on the Cot about Saturday, when she will start for Ports- mouth, and the regular summer cruise begin.
