AwONDERFUL BRIDGE.

The bridge now in process of cree.
ton across the Mississippi at St.Louis is
one Of the wonders of the age. 1t is
to be tubular, cast steel, arch bridge,
supported by the abutmeuts and two
piers; the latter arc 5l5 feet apart,
and 1888 feet each from its nearest Huu,-
meut, making those spans Of about $40
feet each. Its greatest span is the same
as that OF the Kullenbcrg brid GO over
the Leck, au arm Of the Rhine, in Hol-
land. Telford's suspension bridge
across the Menai Straits has span OF
$40 feet. The Victoria tubular iron
bridge of Montreal, Ont, exceeds this
greatly in length, being $500 feet one
and a fourth miles), but it rosts upon
tweuty.four piers, aud its spans are
mainly only 295 feet. The Suspension
bridge at Niagara spans ISL feet, aud
is 545 feet above the water. The East
river bridge viii span 1899 feet, at a
height midway of 100 fect.-Cincin-

acknowledges that horses are keenly
alive to the stroke of the whip, the
prick Of the spur and the sting of an in
Scot That they are peculiarly sensi.
tive to lameness is also a matter of ev-
ery'dsy experience. They groan when
they arc wounded on the fold of bat

laroerated flesh begins to infame. The
absence Of pain in particular instsn ces
Of extensive injury can only be Temporal
