many still exist They are made of iron chains, and
their mode OF construction resembles in the main
that used in the Western countries. They are, how
ever, generally confined to mountainous regions,
and span rivers whose navigation is interrupted.
There is one over a river in the Yunnau Province
that is said to have been first built by one
famous Chu-koh-liang more than two thousand
years SINCE and there Is a second and much larger
one in the Kwechow province spanning the Rivev
Pei This latter was built during the Ming dynasty.
It consists OF many chains stretched the river
and fastened firmly in the stone on either bank
from natural elevations above other chains depend,
and are made fast to the span; and there are also
chains fastened to it from below, the object being to
make the bridge as firm as possible. A plank floor
is laid on this bed OF chains is repaired at regular
intervals of from three to five years at the imperial

She has married woman Such is the position or
plaintiff before a law court Of Santiago, Chilli The
wife has sued for divorce, founding the application
on the simple fact that her husband is OF the same
sex as herself Th was enough to procure di-
vorce but not enough to create embarrassing law
and yet the bench of Santiago is sorey puzzled
over the matter 1t was easy to separate husband
and wife; but how about the property? The one of
the two ladies' who undertook the part OF husband
had married the other for her money and for her
prospects She was in the habit OF frequenting the
baths OF Colna for the purpose of selling fresh
eggs and other such commodities to the
world Of fashion who seek health and repOse in that
watering place. The police had watched the egg
seller, and noticed that he or she always wore
cloak, and that on account was it put aside
Otherwise the eggsellers dress and gait were that
OF man. On the other hand the wife Of this sim
gular mate is of a simplicity and innocence 80 great
that for some time after the marriage she had no
suspicion to the nulty of her husbands preten-
sons In the meantime madame the husband, in all
the pride OF manhood, employed herself busily in
making purchases and contracts in her wife's name
and with her wife's marriage portion. Now the
question arises whether the wife should be respon-
sble for the debts incurred by the husband while
managing her affairs. There is another question
also-what punishment should be inflicted on the
husband for contempt of law and for forgery COM
mitted in signing the marriage contract and other
documents under an assumed sex? The legal aspects
of the case may be left to the learned magistrates Of
Santiago.
