2 ~ GEORGE'S MONUMENT. Sketeh of the Washington Shaft.---Its Present Beanty and Wond- erful Growth, Its History and Standing in Art— Promised Completion in a Year, Cloveland Leader. W asuixeroN, July 10.- —.\'uulwh\u#hn now at the Washington monument. The day of its being a subject for ridicule is over for ever, Its growth is the wonder of Washington, and its beauty the admir- ration of both Americans and foreigners. Already over 350 feet high, it rises from the banks of the Potomac a great white marblo shaft piercing the clouds and backed against the blue of the sky. It is already the grandest obelisk the world has ever seen, and in the acons of the future, should the nations of to-day pass away, leaving no more records of their srogress than the mighty ones of the Bgyptian past, it will surpass the pyr- mnulx in the wonder of its construction. It is alroady higher than the third pyr- amid, and within 100 feet of the size of the second. It is taller than St. Paul's Cathedral, and when finished it will be the highest structure in the world, To- day the Cathedral of Cologne—512 feet high—is the tallest work in the world; noxt comes the great pyramid, 483 feot high; then the Strasburg Cathedral, 473 foot; then the second pyramid, 453; then St. Peter's, 43 . Steven'’s, at Vienna, 443, and St. Paul's at London, 384, monument when completed will be feet high, forty-three feet higher than the Cathedral at Cologi It will be far different, however, from the needle-like shafts of the great Buropean Cathed each of its sides at the top will be thirty- five feet in width, and the whole massive tower will seem a solid growth of natu rock rising from the earth and reaching to the sky. The width at the base of each of its four sides is lifty feet, the monument gradually tapering for over 500 feet until it becomes a cone each side of which is thirty-five. The work of building is going rapidly on, and it is expected that it will be com- lylnbcnl within two years at least, The ower part of the monument is granite, with amarble facing on the outside. As the monument arises, ths granito back- ing diminishes. A few feet more and it will disappear, and the remainder of the monument will be made entirely of mar- ble. Some of the stones incorporated in it ave memorial blocks, given by different states and nations. One slab comes from Greece, another from Turkey, and others from China and Siam. All are inscribed in the languages and letters of their coun- tries. Other stonesare gifts of differ- states of the Union, Others—and none of these should be inserted—come from firmsand men who wish to advertise themselves or their business. It is now thirty-five years since the Washington monument was begun, and eighty-three since its plan was conceived, In December, 1"'7!" ten days after the death of Washington, congress passed resolutions to erect a monument in his honor. The plan was to have Washing- ton's remains deposited under the monu- ment. Nothing, however, was done be- yond pmin§ tne resolution, and the mat- ter remained a dead letter up to 1833, At this time an association was formed for the purpose of pushing the matter. Papers were gotten out and the contribu tions solicited. It 1847 the sum was # large enough to warrant the beginning of on Jul, 1848, thé cor- ner stonb was laid, John Quincy Adams was to have delivered the address on this occasion, but he died a few months be- fore, and it was spoken by Robert C. Winthrop, of ~Mas- sachusetts. The building of the monu- ment was steadily on from this time un- til 1866, when the funds gave out, and it was stopped not to be touched again for twenty-four years, In 1856 the monu- ment was 150 feot high, During the next two decades it came to be thought that it would never be completed, but in 1876 congress decided to take the matter in hand, and in 1880 the work of building was resumed. It was given into the hands of Colonel Casey and a band of competent engineers, They found be- foro commencing work on the shaft that the foundation was poor, and that it would not sustain the mass of 80,000 tons of stone intended to be placed upon it. The monument already weighed 176 tons. Now look at what Colonel Case; did, He went down in the foundation as built in 1848 and dug from under it all around a block of earth forty-four faot square, This was directly under the monument, which, with its 32,000 tons, stood above it. Around this, thirteen feet deep and 126 foet square, asolid wall was built. Part of the old foundation was then torn away and a new and .bet- ter one built, gradually reaching outward and uniting with the new foundation, so that the pressure is now exerted upon a base 126 feet square instead of 80 foet, as formerly. The total pressure now rest- ing on this foundation is estimated at about 76,000 tons, Since 1880, when the foundation was completed, the settloment of the shaft has been 1} inches, and this though the weight has beon increased n 80,000 tons. The settlement has beem semarkable uniform, and there is no of the Washington monument turning into a second tower of Pisa, ‘The action of the monument is watched most carefully and its every movement registered. Two plummets are suspend- ed in its inside, one from a height of 260 feot and the other from a height of 1560 feet. The movements of these are com- pared many times a day, The movement of one should be about one and one-half imes that of the other if there were no ular internal movement of the part :;Rfie structure. But the register shows that the movement is irregular in both direction and in size. Sometimes the plummets move in opposite directions and sometimes in the same, Sometimes the top moves a little, but its whole sway since the foundation was strengthened has been only one-qurter of an inch. A'l of these movements are very slight, and some of them can only be detected with a microscope. The longer plummet line is incased in a wooden box, to prevent the atmosphere )mvingnx?' effect upon it, and since finding that -the spiders had once drawn the line out of the perpendi- cular, a careful investigation is made daily, to see that the lines are not influenced by outside causes. Once, when great consternation was caused by the irregularity of the line, it was found that an ow] had perched uL»on the top of the line. It was caught, killed, ué»d, and given to Mrs. Hayes, and it is now probably on exhibition at Fremont. Colonel Casey says the monument will be finished by the 4th of July next. It will probably have an elevator in the Totastor and i = r and on its top will be had one of the finest views in the world, Ameriea muvurhfidtggwwn monument, t 0 down r- ity as one of '0 l;.flw ,000, and since then the appropriations have amounted to 800,000, so that altogether it will, when completed, have cost £1,100,000. — True Fish Stories, A Jerssyman caught an cel in a emall creek and found inside of it a sleeve-but ton which he had lost some ATS AZO. There is in Lake Tahoe an immense fish which jumps up out of the water, seizes the {.mm,q-n.\ of vessels in its mouth, snaps them off and disappears. Fish are so plentiful iin the Hackensack river that they appear to be crowded for room. Itisnot an uncommon sight to see them swim up alongside of boats and mutely plead to be taken in. A Long Island angler threw in his line the other day and fastening it to a stake, went home to dinner. When he returned he weight was so great that he was com- pelled to call for assistance. Hauling up the catch, he was surprised to find that there was only one immense catfish, but on cutting it open he discovered another fish which, when dissected, contained a smaller one that had swallowed the hook, — *And as good lost, is seldom or_never fonnd; As fading glass, no rubbing will refrosh; As flowers dead lie withered on the ground; An broken glnss no coment will refrosh So beauty blemished once forever lost In spite of physic, paid and cost.” Unless you use Pozzoni’s medicated com., plexion powder, which restores freshness to | the skin, and imparts a durable softness | equalled by none other, —— An Open letter, New York snn.

Aarming Work of the” Deadly Pest | Kansas, sman Being Devoured by the In- satiable Insect. N. Y. Sun, Mepicrve Bow Raxae, June 29.—On the plains of Texas, where countless half | wild cattle feed, and where the air is dry and pure, lives an insect known as the screw-worm fly. It is small and act- ive. This fly is the terror of the Texas tle. The long-horned brutes arequar- relsome. The males fight savagely,some- times to the death. The females are far from being peaceful animals, A fight be- tween hot h‘.n.,l.-:l Texas cattle generally terminates in one of the animals being severely wounded. As the smell of the blood drifts down the winds, which cea lessly blow on the plains, it attracts th, screw flies, and they course through the air, eagerly following the trail. anxious | to deposit their eggs in thewound. These flies do not alight in depositing their eggs, but as they fly rapidly and closely to the injured animal, which evinces the utmost terror when the buzz of doom fills the air, they drop a genlatinous ' substance, which | adheres to the wound, The eggs, to the number of hundreds, are contained in this substance. It is said by the Texas cattle breeders that the | eizgs hateh in twenty-four hou 8. Prompt- ly on hatching the worms burrow into the flesh of the living animals. More flies doposit their eggs. More screw worms are hatched. They also burrow into the flesh. A succession of crops of serew worms follows rapidly, and the un- fortunate animal is devoured alive, as they honeycomb the flesh. The cattle, unable to endure the pain, become crazy and roam the prairies, dangerous mem- bers of bovine society, until death lays his kind hand on them. I have been informed by the cattle breeders who | graze their stock on the staked plains that | the animals scem to realize the dange they arein when wounded, and been known to scek safety in flight ; that the flies follow the scent in the as hounds follow a fox, and tl; animals are generally ove On the great plains lying the Rocky Mountains and included in the arid belt, cattle are bred on an extensive It is not the custom to cl herd the stock in any portion of the range. There is a branding roundup in the spring, a beef round up in the fall, and in Texas an additional roundup preparatory to the spring drive of salable cattle to the north- ern grazing grounds. During the greater portion of the year the cattle roam at will. A few cowboys ride the range and pretend to keep note of the localities where_their employer's brands are feed- ing. It can be easily seen that under this careless management the losses resulting from screw worms can be quite heavy, and still be unknown to the owner of the brand. When cattle are found suffering from the attacks of these worms, they, if the tunnelling of the flesh has not pro- gressed too far, are thrown to the ground, and a rude and generally unsuccessful at- tempt is made to extermmate the para- sites by a free use of citrine ointment. This ointment will destroy the unhatch- od eggs, but its efficacy in killing the liv- ingrwnrmn is disputed. he screw worm is a little over half an inch long., It is corrugated and exceed- ingly hard, | Whan put under the point of a knife and pressed wpon, the worm slips from under the steel andflies through the air as though made of rubber, Imag- ine: a white half-inch scrow having a pointed black head instead of the usual slotted one. That is a fair represontation of the screw worm, For years Texas cattle have been driv- en to Kansas to feed on the grasses of the plains lying in the arid belt. For years they have been driven to the northern portion of the Indian Territory to graze on the untaxed ranges of that greaf grazing land. _ Until lst year there was no trouble in Kansas from screw worms. The stories told by Texas drivers of the suffering of the cattle on the southern ranges made but little impression on the men of Kansas. That these flies would over follow the Texas cattle up the trails to the comparatively northern country of Kansas, was unsuspected by the most %lnumy minded of the Kansas people. iven if suspected, they never, in the most appalling flights of their dark 1mag- inations, thought that the flies would change their habits, and select the nostrils | of human boings to deposit their eggs in, but such is the case It is probable that the long-continued southwest winds of last summer waftod the flies from the vicinity of the herds feedi south of Dodge City into the more thickly settled portions of Kansas. At any rate, the mature flies were far cast of the ““dead line,” and far north of the Arkansas river during o portion of last summer. Soveral persons were attacked by screw worms, One of the cases that terminated futally was fully reported in the Kansas and Missouri Valley Medical Iudex, It is worthy of note. The pa- tient had long suffered from ozena, On the evening of Angust 22, 1883, this man complaimed of a tickling sensation at the base of the nose, that was promptly fol- lowed by exhaustive sneezing. This in its turn was followed by intenso pain in the region of the eyes and cheeks. The i alaY SR ARSI S posed that the pain was the result of ozenn, The discharge from the nostrils was purulent and tinged with blood, and exceedingly offensive. The breath of the patient was revolting. 1t may be that his condition was so extremely offensive that thoe attending physician «fnl not make an examination that - would have revealed the presence of the disturbing cause. For two days the man suffered intense pain. All remedies administered failed to give relief. On the evening of the 24th of August there was a sudden | and profuse discharge from both the nos- trils and mouth, — Instantly all pain ceased, There was no longer any invol- untary discharge. The pus was with dif- fioulty expectorated. Tho soft palate had been destroyed, and the tongue could no longer be used in speech, When this stage of the disease had been reached, a scrow worm, much to the astonishment of the attending physician, fell from the mouth of the dying man. One after an- other, in obedience to the laws of their nature, full grown screw worms wriggled from his nostrils and mouth until 860 of them crawled from the honeycomed head and throat. The man died.” An exam- ination showed that the fleshy part of the interior of his head had been almost de- voured, By throwing back the head and depressing the swollen tongue, the verte- briv were exposed to view. The second case ocourred at Salina, Kan On the 22nd of August Dr. R. E Switzer, of that town, was called to tend & woman suffering from a severe pain across the bridge of the nose, This have but air wounded n. wtward of |\ I'HE DAILY BEE -OMAHA, TUESDAY JULY 17 IHRS.“ reux After a careful examination of the case the doctor was unable to explain the cause of the pain ined the patient In the left nostril he aaw small corrugated ball that was ap. parently rovolving slowly. This ball re- sembled a ting walnut. ~ The doctor saw an oceasional black head protrude from the writhing mass. Promptly he admin- istered chloroform to the woman. the aid of forceps he removed sixty-five worms. From the time of the discovery of the worms until the last was removed two days passed. In this short time, though the worms were sluggish from the offects of the chloroform, they had suffi cient vigor to destrey the partition of the nose. This wome: faly recovered. Sev- eral other cases occurrod in Kansas last year. As far as T can learn all the people who were attacked had cattrrh, a disease very prevalent on the wind swept plains west of the Missouri river. It 18 highly prob- able that the fully developed flies, when moving through the air in search of places to deposit their eggs, struck a catarrhal trail, followed it to its source, and deposited their eggs in the nostrils of the unfortunates while they slept. They might easily drop their eggs in the nostrils of persofis lying down, even if they were awake, Physicians are awaiting the develop- ments this summer with great interest. The sensitiveness of the mucous mem- brane narrowly limits the remedies that can be safely applied. Carbolic acid, if weakened sufliciently to be used without injuring the membrane, has no effect on the 1 worms, Kerosene oil has proved effectual, It instantly kills the worms. This oil will kill any insect. If the worms, through the ig- norance of the physicians, are allowed to remain undisturbed for several 8, it is exceedingly doubtful if any remedy can reach them, It may be that an enor- haustion pain and could rally from the i ring until following intense physical suffe the worms feeding on his flesh arrived at serfect maturity and crawled from their hurrows to screw themselves into the ground, from which they emerge us flies in about ten days, 1 doubt, however, if any man lLiving has sufticient vitality to ive through an attack by screw worms.

Tacoma (W, T.) Nows, The wool growers of Pierce county had a meeting at Steilacoom on Saturday to receive bids for their 1883 wool crop. There were about thirty farmers present. A fow years ago, being dissatisfied with tho prevailing method of disposing of their fleeces by individual bargains the wool ' growers formed an association and have since put their wool into a pool, ap- pointing a committee to receive bids and dispose of the wool in bulk to the highest bidder. They seem to think this method more satisfactory than that of individual sules, having realized some 2 per cent. more under the pooling system than pre- viously. Last year's wool crop netted the Pierce county growers 24 cents a pound for some 70,000 pounds. The ‘ashington Territory clip is rated as northern wool in the market, which brings the highest 13i~ , owing to its freedom from burr and Wiier impurities. This| year's clip is estimated at 50,000 pounds, and the quality is high. The farmers hold it at 22 cents, but the only bid re- ceived on Saturday, was that of Mr. Bax- ter, of Seattle, who bid only 17 cents for the crop delivered at Tacoma. This the committee and owners would not listen to and the sale was adjourned two weeks, to July 7th, at Steilacoom, unless the committee received more acceptible bids in the meantime. — Wide Awake Druggists.
