THE MENAI TUBULAR

BRIDGE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. -
The interesting experiments noticed at various times
in your columns, relative .to the intended bridge over
the Menai Straits, appear principally to have been.
directed to determine the capabilities of the iron tube to",
sustain the weight of the trains intended to pass over it.
No experiment having been reported showing it equal.
to resisting the action of the wind when blowing a hurri-
cane fro:n 31•7501b5. to 46•8751b5., or probably.up
52.0831b5. to the superficial foot. In autumn of last
year I was engaged on the sections of the then intended
London and Holyhead direct railway, and I partici'.
lady noticed at various places the immense masses
' rock that had been blown by storms from the ruountalhE;
and several in the Slioc-don Peas from a most terrific
height ; one of which,. icy mensuren.lent, weighed '7OO
tons. I always remarked that the beautiful suspensiosti:
idge of er the Straits (r.!Jout 10 chains from the intendeil
turtle', and near the c level), designed by the late
eminent engineer, Telford, had Wen injured by the: :
vibration of the chains and roadway in the many stortas
it has withstood ; and erossbraces had been'fixed to the
chains, rendered necessary to prevent the piers being'
'further injured, the very small surface exposed 'to 'the
action of the wind being sufficient to cause injury to-such
a stupendous structure. The immense surface of the
intended tunnel, exposed at the same level (say 110 feet
high in the centre of the tube), to the action of the
