The LONGEST BRIDGE IN THE woRLp-Thc
land of the Celestals boasts the largest bridge in
the world, and this, according to travellers. is
the bridge of Layang, over an arm Of The sea in
China. It's bnilt says that instructive periodi-
cal, "I'he Builder" in similar way as its
length is said to extend TO 26,S00 Paris feet,
and comprises 800 arches, or rather opening OF
pillars. These are not oyerspread by arches,
but there are placed above them large slabs of
stone. Which, from the roadway 20 feet broad.
The distance Of the pillars is nearly 7ll feet,
hp 1n,tpr heinz IN foot
strengthened with stone iacings, of the form of
triangular prisns, which extend over the whole
height of the pillars up to the trnnsvels sal slabs.
The latter Got course more than 10 feet lonr)
extend in breadth to Is feet in thickness. Other
reports, however, assign no more than 43 fee,,
old Paris measure, to the distance the pillars,
and only AZ feet TO breadth and thickness of the
transversal slabs by which, OF course, the length
OF the bridge is reduced une.half even so, il
would be an astonishing structure, being six
times the length OF the longest bridge in Europe.
viz: the Pont de ST. Esprit, at Lyons. The
parape; is, according to ONE reports a railing.
according to others, bll'ustrade and every pjl.
lar supports pedestal on which lion, 81 feet
long, and made ofone block Of fmarblc, is placed.
