Prof. 0. H. RIchardBon, secretary of tho

Washington marblo, whlch wlll bo read
wlth speclal Intorest:
Durlng the past throo yoars I have uo
tlcod inany BtatomontB ln tho Watciiman
concorning tho WaBhington marblo, often
orronoously called "granlto." It has led
rno to vlslt noarly all tho marblo and gran
ite quarrlos of Vermont and Now Hamp
ehlre and to carry samples of tho rock
through tho central and westorn states.
Tho Washington marblo ls a chrystalllne
limoatono of ilner graln, rnoro compact tox
turo, groator Bpeclllc gravlty, and capablo
of belng cut to llner odgo than any granlto
on tho inarket. On tho highly pollshed aur
faco it takos a lettering Iegtblo at a groator
dlstance than any known rock. 'ihls ls
provon by coinparlson wlth moro than flvo
thousand monumonts in central and west
orn Btatos. The dark Bteol gray and blulsh
varletles, as well as tho banded and lnot
tled, hammor white, bo that when cut lnto
bases they form a strlklng contrast with tho
pollshed dio upon which tho inscrlptlon ls
placed. Tho ordlnary marbles, largely car
bonatoa ot llmo and magnosia, soon becomo
dull and corrodod wlth vogotatlon and tho
susquinoxide of iron, but pieces cut from
this marblo sevonty-llvo yeara ago are stlll
ltvely and untarniBhed. No rock so stoutly
roBists docomposltlon nnd alteratlon by
tho actlon of tho atmosphoro aa quartz, and
theslllclouBcharacter of thtspecullar marblo
makes it pre-oinlnontly titted for all struc
tural and ornamontal purposes. Some con
tend that it is only a surface formatlon of
Buiall area, but lt extends lnto Uanada on
the North and Massachusotts on tho south
wlth the hlghest and best devolopment ln
Washington. It has a moan depth ot be
tween llve aud slx thousand feot, honce the
