Concerning suspension Bridges.

An examination of the cables of the
suspension bridge which recently gave
way at Pittsburgh revealed state of
things which cannot fail to excite alarm
in regard to the safety of other bridges
supported by wires. The cables were
originally composed of twenty stands of
wire. In the one which broke only
eleven wires remained at the point of
fracture, the others having corroded
away, and some of these had been re-
duced to the size of a knitting needle
This bridge, which had stood fifteen
years, was known to be unsafe, and was
closed to public travel more than a
month ago. But no one suspected that
the wires composing the cable were so
eaten away by corrosion as the exam
ination showed them to be; and the
question naturally arises whether the
same destroying process may not be in
progress in other wire cables, as yet un
suspected of weakness.

Staining Marble Yellow.

Inquiry was recently made by P tech
nical society in Prussia for treatment
of white marble that would inlpart to
it a permanent uniform yellow color,
equal to that of antique marble, and
one that could be made dark or light
at will, penetrating at least one-twelfth
of an inch into the stone, but not af-
fecting its chemical character. OF the
several solutions offered, that of Pro
fessor Weber seems to have been the
most satisfactory, and is based upon the
fact, hitherto not brought to practical
application, that solutions of iron salts
in strong alcohol are not decomposed
by carbonate Of lime; while, on the
other hand, the aqueous solutions of
the same salts are readily decomposed
by the lime. Another important con-
sideration is the fact that alcohol is
more easily taken up by marble than
water, and that the tendency to absorp-
ton may be increased very greatly by
heating the marble to a certain temper
ature. If, then, the alcoholic solution
referred to be applied to the dried mar
BILE, and this subsequently moistened
with water, the oxide of iron that has
penetrated the material of the stone is
decomposed by the carbonate of lime,
and is separated in the form of finely
divided oxide, not separabie from the
particles of marble.
In the practical application of the
principles just enumerated a new chic
ride of iron is to be first dissolved in
ninety per cent. alcohol, and, after gen.
| tly heating the marble to be colored in
an oven, or over a fire, the solution in
question is to be applied by means of a
brush, a sprinkler, or by some ether
similar apparatus, or even by pouring
the solution over it. 1t will, of course
be understood that the strength of the
solution is to be proportioned to the
depth of the color desired, and care
must be taken also in regard to the de
gree of temperature. For the produc
ton of light tints it is considered pref
erable to apply very diluted solutions
repeatedly. When the marble is per
fectly dry it is to be moistened witt
water or exposed to moist air, when tn
decomposition Of the salt of iron re
ferred to takes place in the uppe
strata, and the process of coloration
complete. The surface can then b
polished, or, if already polished, it ma
be simply rubbed off with wet cloth

SUGAR.

Mr.. EprroR-As your readers may not all be
familiar with the present tariff on Sugars and its
effect on their cost to consumers, few facts may
be of interest to some of them.
Under the act last passed by Congress. such
grades as are suitable for refining purposes pay
duty of ia to "a cts per h. while those adapted
to consumption suitable to use without
change, pay a duty of "a to cts per 10. The re-
suit of this is that the quantity of the better
grades imported is very small-by comparison
next to none-consequently the entire commu-
nifty are obliged to take, with slight exception
those clarified or refined here
If this difference in cost Cthe amount of which
you can readily conceive would be immense in
dollars went into the Treasury, we should all
feel some relief in the knowledge that it con-
tributed to pay debt which would have to be
met in some other form, and, consequently. not
a matter of any especial consequence But such
is not the fact. On the contrary what duty is
now paid over the rates for refining grades. is for
the protection of few manufacturers in this
country; or if the expression is objected to. for
the profit and expense of doing the work here, /;
being well known that Sugars are clarified where
the raw matersal is produced. which rs suggest
ed, we should get but for the excessive duty they
now pay.
Molasses, which can almost be called Sugar. a:
it is used as its substitute, pays but one rate o
duty though it may be worth > or so cts per gal
lon. All Coffees. without regard to quality o.
place of growth, pay three cts per lb; and Teas
though they be worth so cts per ID or 81 % pa!
l. cts. 1t is intended to petition Congress tina
| the tariff shall be so changed that all grades o
Sugar shall pay one rate of duty-it being recol
leeted that refiners do not now pay any manuiae
turers' tax The necessities of our indebtedness
as a government will for a long time require
duty to be placed on sugars. which will. no doub
be liberal protection to our planters in Louis
lana and Texas. Persons feeling desire to efeC
a change in this matter will. no doubt, accom-
plish the most desirable result by eonferrin
with the Representatives of Congress from the
district. ANTI MONOPOLY.

PURGATIvE PILLS have become a set
tied necessity with the American peo-
pie. Indeed, cathartics always have
been and always must be used, in
some form, by all mankind. In this
