BRIDGE SpANs.-Mr. James B. Eads, the
engineer of the st. Louis bridge. has re-
port prepared for publication in which he
shows the safety and practicability of five,
hundred-feet spans, and that there are sui:
ficient engineering precedents for such
spans. The Kuilinburg bridge in Holland
has truss span of five hundred and ffteer
feet. 1t has double railway track, and
the truss, which is partly of steel, weighs
over two thousand three hundred tons. Mr.
Eads says that it is reasonable to assert
that it is not impracticable to throw assin,
gle arch of cast steel two thousand feet in
length across the Mississippi. The achieve
ment would be simply one Of money.-Ci1a'
