How the Sun Moved a Bridge.

During the recent building of bridge
in Holland, one of the traverses, four
hundred and sixty-five feet long, was
misplaced ON the supports. 1t was an
inch out of line, and the problem was
how to replace it. Experiments proved
that the iron work expanded small
fraction of an inch for every degree of
heat received. 1t was noticed that the
night and day temperatures differed by
about twenty-five degrees, and it was
thought that this might be made to move
the bridge.
In the morning one end of the piece was
bolted down securely, and the other end
left free. In the heat of the sun the iron
expanded, and toward night the free end
was loosened. The contraction then
dragged the whole mass the other way.
For two days this experiment was re-
peated, and the desired place reached.
We find no record that the heat of the
sun has ever been employed in this way
before; the contraction and expansion OF
iron bars by fire heat has frequently been
used to move heavy weights over short
distances. Broken walls and strained
roofs and arches have been brought into
place by simply heating iron rods till
they expanded, then taking the slack by
screws and nuts, and allowing contrac-
ton by cold to pull the wall or roof into
place.
