THE OLD ARMORY. Arrangements for the Annual Rowing | Where the District Militin Used to As- Contests the Potomac, semble Before the War. ALIS ONCE BRISTLING BAYONRTS NOW GIVEN UP TO PRACEFUL FiSHi—now THE BUILDING CAME TO BE ERECTED—BALLOO® EXPERIMENTS THERE DURING THE WAR. “Why do you call that building the armory?” asked a stranger, pointing to the threestoried brick building on the Mall, near the intersec- tion of 6th and B streets with Maine avenue southwest, now used by the fish commission. “What connection has the commission with an armory?” Not only are many strangers un- ‘aware of the origin of the name, but many resi- dents of the city who have settled or grown up here since the war are ignorant of the fact that the building was once @ veritable armory. ‘Many of those whoremember how and for what Purpose it was erected question the right of the government to use it forany other purpose than that for which it was erected. Prior to 1855 there was quite a military spirit among the middle-aged and young men of the District, and companies were to be found in almost every section of the | city, The Washington Light Infantry, the Nationai Guard, the Montgomery Guards, the German Yagers, the Continental Guards, the Colum bian Artillery, the Boone Riftes, the Independ- entGrays ana Potomac Light Infantry, the President's Mounted Guard und the Potomac Dragoons were among these companies. There were also some Juvenile companies—the Seott Guards, Green Mountain Boys, Rough and Ready ‘Artillery, with small field pieces, und the Union Infantry. ‘The officers and mem- bers kept up these companies with but little outside ald and were dependent on an occa- stonal ball, picnic or excursion to raise funds to PAY RENT FOR ARMORIES, to pay for music for parades, and tw entertain visiting companies. Indeed, playing soldiers in those days was to many a costly affair. The government furnished the arms and accoutre- ments, which included belts, cartridge boxes and bayonet scabvards, bat with most of the c fies the unitorms were such that the musket may be said to have been the only a THE CLUBS WORKING IN HARMONY—RACES TO BE ROWED—THE TROPHIES To BE WoN— EWS EXPECTED FROM OTHER CITIES—THE COURSE STAKED OFF. The annual Potomac river regatta will be held this vearon the 28th of September—one week trom next Tuesday, The course will be what is Known as the National course, one mile and a half straight away trom a point some distance above the Long bridge. to G street, just above the Analostan boat-house. The races will be senfor singles, juntorsinzles, jutnlor fours, sentor fours, four-oared gigs, light weight fours and eight-oared shells, the order in which they shall be rowed to be arranged hereafter. All the re- gattas heid on the Potomac river under the aus- pices of the local boat clubs have invariably proved successful, but this year's regatta bids lair to surpass all [ts predecessors, The prelim- inary arrangements have all been made by the Join’ commitiee with the utmost harmony and unanimity, aod this fact has greatly assisted in making all preparations with despateh. The Tesult has been’ that although the public has not been kept so well informed as to the prefer- ences of the individual clubs, as heretofore, those who are interested in boating and boat races bave been grafified to see that ull past dif ferences that may have existed between the boat clubs have been AMICABLY ADSUSTED, and that all have worked in unison, with one to make the Potomac river regatta a completesuccess. Another gratifying feature conuected with this year's regatta is that the expenses are to be defrayed by the clabs under whose auspices the regatta is to be held, and the. pabile 1s, not calied upon to eon- tribute, but is simply invited to come over to Lune river on the afternoon of the 28th instant, wud Witness what promises to be a series of CLOSELY CONTESTED RACES between young gentlemen who wiil strain every muscle to bring victory to their respec- live clubs. Each of the three local clubs—the | Analostan, Potomac and Columbia—will shoul- ; | ticle for which the citizen soldier did not have to pay. About 1854 a movement was made looking to obtaining government aid. THE MILITARY CONVENTION. The result was that a convention of delegates of the various companies was called. The sen- timent of some was that the government should from some fund appropriate money to pay room rent, and others that music should be furnished irom the marine barracks, thus re- Heving the members of a music tax. Others favored @ grand central armory tor @ gen- eral meeting place, the compunies having the privilege of meeting in smaller balls nearer their homes, where a few muskets could be kept, with which a squad might drill. ‘The result Was that through Gen, Weightman and Coi. Hickey, then a clerk in’ the office of the secretary oi ‘tue Senate, the attention of Con- gress was drawn lo the subject, and principally through the efforts of Gen, Shields the neces sary iegisiation was obtained.

HOW THE TREES HAVE MADE TRE SUMMERS PLEASANT—THEIR EFFECT ON THE HEALTH OF THE CITY—THE RAVAGRS OF THE CATER- PILLARS—NO PERMANENT INJURY DONE. Old residents of Washington have remarked @change in the climate within the past few years. The thermometers at the signal office go ‘on registering about the same average temper- ature each summer, and the old residents won- der if it is all imagination about its getting cooler, Several years ago Washington was was commonly spoken of as the hottest city in the Union. People hurried away on the ap- proach of summer, and Congress considered it ahardshiptostay here until the middle of June. Now Washington is somewhat of a summer resort. People stay here later and come back earlier from the mountains and the seashore. Many prefer to stay here ull summ as they do not encounter as inueh uncom fort ble weather as they flud at many of the fash- jonable resorts. The summers here are un- doubtedly cooler—much cooler—than formerly. This tact stares the thermometer in the face, aud If the mercury does not run down u degres ‘OF Lwo it is not Decuuse the {uct Is less cold. A PARADOX EXPLAINED, This is a paradox which ts explained by Mr. Saunders, the botanist of the agricultural de partment aud one of the park commission. “It is the trees,” he said, A STAR reporter met him standing uuder the trees in the agricultu- Tal grounds, tue caterpillars dropping down on an dinbreild Le held over bis bead and crawl Ang up irom bis boots to bis collar, “Tue trees,” he sald, “have greatly affected the climate.’ The thermometer at the signal office does not indicate the change. It does nut measure the covilug effect of moisture and evaporation, It is ust subject to the influences Of the trees, and while the whole city may be auch cooler and people may notice the marked change of climate, the instrument goes on Fegisteriug the sume old figures, ‘There are avout seveniy thousind tees Iu the city, aad every lea! vii tuem is golng through a process 61 eVapuration which cuvis tue -uumusphere a@boulit. ‘The cooling eflect of one leat could ‘ot be culculaied, bul the myriads of leaves on ail the trees througnout the city so cool the atmosphere as to uctually chauge the climate.

It ts a head aud bust of plaster modeled in clay ty Mrs, Heldeman and cast by Mr. Palmer of the National Museum. The face and bust have been colored a good copper hue. The head Is perfectly bald now, but it will in time be covered with a good growth of hair, Eyeballs, too, will be set in the holes now left for them, The remainder of the trunk and legs and arms will be added. The Aigure will be dressed in Apache blanket, shi ins, boots or moccasins and sombrero, an a life-like representation will be giveu in the ‘Museum of a typical Apache, so life-like that it will be Ikely to frighten any Arizona ranch. man who may Je into the Nattonal ma- seum, (“We do not of course,” sald Prof. Goode, “purpose to exhibit portraits, Our idea is tosow types. THE HEAD OF GERONIMO, 8s shown in the bust, is rather afine Indian head, reminding one tn its general outiines of the bust of Black Hawk, at the Capitol. The chin snd lower jaw are firm, the mouth rather and well cut, the nose large and aquili and the check bones high. About the cheek: the ines of ‘the (ace are drawn ghtly and the forehead 1s deeply wrinkled. “That isa typl- cal Indian nose,” said Prot. Otis Mason, curator of the department of ethnology. *Kingsbor- ough, Adair, and the old ethuolugists, believed that the American Indians wero the lost trives Pi israel, because their noses were ot the aqui. line mold, It was supposed that the lost tri would be identitied,when found, by their noses. How did we get the bust? Well, it was made from a photograph we had—a photograph taken, I think, by some of the expeditions of the geological survey. ‘This photograph repre sented Geronimo sitting in halfsavage, halt elvilized costume, wearing an old hat sel back Upon his head, a calico shirt he had got from a trader, a sort of balt-Apache, hall-Greuser, half cowboy costume. The tobacco Juice was run- ning down from the corners of his mouth. From that photograph Mrs. Heldeman mod- eled the head.” TAKING INDIAN PHOTOGRAPHS, The photograph mentioned by Prot. Mason ‘Was taken some years ago, and represents Ge. ronimo in peaceful repose, before he began his merciless warfare and filled the War depart- aent dispaiches aud the newspupers with records o/ his captures and escapes. Hayden, Wheeler and others of our great col- lectors,”’ observed Prof, Mason, “ x polut to secure, photographs ‘whenever possl- bie of Iudiaus. ‘he resultjs we bave a most valuabie collection here. But, of course, pho- tographs do not show color. We have supple- mented the photograper’s work, Mr. Sintndler, the artist of the museum, has done excellent work in this direction, Whenever a delegution of Indians come here he goes about with them, taking opportunities here and there to catch their colors. Or course, they do not know what he is doing. He has bucceeded in recording perfectly the colors—the hue of the skin— and bis work hus @ great value to the ethnologist. When the series of Indian figures “was prepared for the Centennial Exposition the heads were ull taken from one mask. The sume face served for men aud women and Indians of ditterent tribes. ‘The gentieman who ranged them did the best he could by painting the faces differ ently, which gave them some variety, and soft- the features of women a littie. He hud ‘among the Indians and knew exactly how to costume the figures, and, of course, in this re- spect the exibition was pertect. ‘These figures, however, louk a little stiff, all alike. We then had some heads of famous Indians made by Achille Colin, of the officeot the Supervising Architect of the Treasury. They were life-like works of art, and showed at once what might be done in the way of representing types of In- diuns, Now this head of Geronimo will be in- teresting as a Lype and interesting also as the head of so fumous a chief, The figure when completed wiil be dressed in a costume whieh will be a reproduction of Geronimo’s, All we need have modeled in addition to the head will be the hands. ‘The remainder ot the body being concealed by the clociiug will be amere dummy to fill out the clothing. THE APACHE wears leggins, which ue pulls on like a boot leg, instead of wrapping about his libs as the Zuni legginis wrapped, He is apt now to wear @ caiico shirt bought from a trader, and the sleeve of the arm, thrust out from duder his blanket, is expostd; but before the day of traders he wore a buckskin shirt, He wears a bvol oF foot covering, having @ long toe turned up, with which he beats down the prickly cac- tus us he walks.
