Engineers and Architects Worried
Over Condition of Building
Stone.
New York.—The marble of which
the Washington monument is con
structed is showing rather alarming
signs of decay, to the worriment of
ngineers and architects,
There is, of course, no danger to
| the monument yet, writes D, W, Kess-
ler, bureau of standards engineer, in
the American Architect, but the fact

the stone is not taken too seriously by
| Mr. Kessler, although that may have
| something to do with it. He looks
upon the spalling marble as simply de

| in this country for the various kinds
| of native stones to have been thor
oughly tested. The bureau of stand
ards issues reports on bullding stones
| as the results of tests under simulated
| weather conditions but there arises
the question of whether these tests
really approximate the effect of weath
aring on building stone.
The tremendous load strain on th.
stone of the Washington monument
may have some part in the spalling
of the edges of the stones.
“Many writers on the subject o.
masonry decay have been inclined to
place most of the hlame on frost ac
tion,” writes Mr, Kessler In the Amer
ican Architect, but he adds, “Since
this does not occur to slate we must
conclude that such dense materials
are not stressed appreciably by frost.’

Athens, Ohio.—The freshman—tra-

British Census Takers

London.—The ever delicate question
of a woman's age will be one of the
principal features in the census of
Britain's population, to be taken April
26. All women will be compelled to
tell thelr ages.
Thelr embarrassment will not be

have undertaken to inflict the severe
penalties on any one who unlawfully
gives away the secret.

most noticeable In the reference books,
which almost invariably omit the date
of their birth.
