How THE SUN MOVED A BRIDGE
During the building of bridge in Hol-
land, one of the traverses, A60 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 a small
fraction of all inch to every degree of
heat received. It was noticed that the
day and night temperature differed by
about twenty-five degrees, and it was
thought 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 ex-
panded, and toward night tue free end
was ioosened. The contraction then
dragged the whole mass the other way.
For two days this experiment was re-
peated, and the desired place reached.
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 in the slack
by screws and nuts, and allowing con-
traction by cold to pull the wall or roof
into place.

CENTENNIAL NOTES.

The Associated Press of South Amer
lea will publish weekly Spanish Amer
lea journal in Philadelphia during the
Great Exhibition.
Oil well and pumping from a flowing
well will be practically illustrated on
Elm Avenue, near the main building.
Queen Victoria will contribute vari-
ETY. OF paintings, drawings, etchings,
etc., executed by the royal family
Among them are twenty-six etchings by
herself.
The most valuable cargo that ever ar
rived in America from Great Britain is
the consignment for the Centennial
brought by the Pennsylvania. Il is val
ued at 81, $780, coo.
1t is proposed to ask Lafayette and
Rochambeau, the grandsons of the great
Frenchmen who helped America during
the Revolution, to visit the International
Exhibition, and to bring them to us and
return them to France By the United
States frigate Franklin, now i'll the Med
iterranean.
The French restaurant at the Centen-
nial will be ''Les Trois Freres Proven
caux," and after model af the famous
one of that name in Paris. NJ. Goyard,
the proprietor, has arrived with one
hundred French walters, who are Skin
mishing about Philadelphia trying to
find an English Ollqndorf.
The United States Centennial Com
mission have issued, from the Bureau of
Agriculture, q series of rules and regula-
tions governing the livestock display at
the Exposition. The display viii take
place within the months of September,
October, and November. A circular
containing all desired information can
be had on application to Burnet Ian
dreth, Chief of Bureau of Agriculture.

United States at the Centennial Exposi-
ton, and he wishes to know eff it will

North Carolina.

AN UNFORTUNATE WOMAN.

1t is highly probable that the widow
OF Alexander I. Stewart will be annoy
ed and persecuted beyond measure by
beggars OF various degrees, even now
that Judge Hilton is employed TO assist
her III disbursing it. If she had retain
eI the whole she could not, during her
life, give away more than the merest
fraction OF the interest of her vast for
tune. If she knew on whom to bestow
it, and occupied all her time in making
small donations, she could not give it
all away during her lifetime. Suppose
her to be worth $50, 600, coo, and to dis
burse only the interest, she could get
rid of s10,0G0 day, or $1,000 every
working hour. In other words, she
could perpetually give away $16 min
ute for ten hours of every working day
and never touch the principal. If re-
solved to transfer to others the entire
fortune, it would take her q year if she
counted out $3.50 q second. In 300
bills, laid end to end, it would reach
from the Battery TO Central Park. If
divided into 81 bills, and kept at COM
pound interest, neither Mrs. Stewart
nor any single line of successors could
ever count it and give it away, even if
the counting was continued for thousand
Of years and each counted as fast as pos
sible. If it was all in SO bills and
thief should get access to the pile and
take one bill a minute, it would require
more than thirty years for him to cap
ture the fortune. Then in some States
he could be punished only for petit lar
ceny, because the individual thefts would
amount ''to less than $15." On the
whole Mrs. Stewart and her legal Ger
berus are not to be sscnyied.-N y.

Too CooL FOR JoHN-A new importa-
ton from the Celstial Empire sat down
in an ice cream saloon the other day and
said to the waiter:
s'Me want dink ice cream-some likee
Mclean man"
An iceberg of the coveted article was
placed before him, and with the reck-
lessness he hal seen exhibited by
everybody else, he dived into it. But
as he gulpeG dow q mouthful of the fro
zen mass, terrible expression of dis
may and suspicion crept over his face
He looked at the plate a minute, then
tried it again. His teeth began to chat
ter. He buttoned up his jacket and
swallowed another mouthful. That set
tied it. He jumped up from the table
and started to where the sun could shine
on MIN, exclaiming /:
"Whoopee! Plenty damn cold grub
No cookee huff Fleece belly all same

II is an interesting fact, as recently
stated, that the whole of the porcelain
or cinaware now manufactured in China,
is produced at the identical potteries
Which were established about 900 years
ago, namely, at IIing-tch Chen, at which
locality there are at present some 100
furnaces in operation, being about half
the original number. But the modern
wares produced, as compared with those
of centuries back, are of far inferior
fabric and workmanship, the biscuit
being not so white and pure, the glaze
considerably rougher, and the colors,
too, less bright and beautiful. The in
gradients now made use of are clay,
quartz, steatite, and glaze. OF the
enamels, the cloisonne is still made at
Pekin, and the workmanship is very
fine, some Of the best designs, in effec-
tive specimens of hand, not moulded
work, being very artistic.

work, being very artistic.

ACCORDING to a French statistician,
taking the mean of many accounts, a
man of fifty years of age has slept 5000
days, worked $500 days, walked 800
days, amused himself 1000 days, was
eating 1,500, was sick 500 days, etc. He
has eaten IL, 600 pounds of bread, 49,
900 pounds of meat, 1900 pounds OF
vegetables, eggs and fish, and drank T.
900 gallons of liquid, viz. water, coffee,
tea, beer, wine, ETC., altogether. This
would make respectable lake of 800
square feet surface and three feet deep,
on which small steamboats, could navi-
gate. And all this makes mp the rCu-
tine of an average mans life.

Ex-Gov. TAYLOR is not the only one i'm
plicated in the disgraceful disclosure at
Madison-the entire Reform party must
bear the shame. During the campaign,
exposure fully as disgraceful were made
concerning Taylor, and were fully sup
stantiated, yet outside of this district, re
polled the entire Reform vote. The
worst electioneering the Republicans
ever did was in exposing the sw;ndling
operations of Tayior-the Reformers
pressed him more closely to their hearts
when they discovered the character Oh

STRANGE REVELATIONS BY THE Micro
sCoPE.-There is story that an emf
nent microscopist had a bit of substance
submitted to him to decide what it was
To an unaided eye it might be piece of
1sl:n which a baggage smasher had
knocked off the corner of smoothly
worn hair trunk. The savant appealed
to his microscope. Entirely ignorant of
this tiny bit of matter, except as he had
taken counsel with his instrument, the
wise man declared that it was the skin
of human being, and that Judging by
the fine hair on it, it was from the So
called naked portion Of the body, and,
further, that it once belonged to a fair
complexioned person. The strange facts
were these That, q thousand years
before, Danish marauder had robbed
an English church. In the spirit of old
fashioned piety the robber was fayed
Qet US hope that he was killed frst), and
the skin was nailed to the the church
door. Except as tradition and archeo-
logical lore had it, the affair had been
forgotten for hundreds of years. Time,
the great erodent, had long ago utterly
removed the offensive thing. Still how
ever The church held to its marks of the
great shame, for the broad headed nails
remained. Somebody extracted one,
and underneath its flint head was this
Scandinavian malefactor's pelt, that fair
skinned robber from the North.-H0r-

AT Wausau W. D. Linscot, a pro-
fessional rope walker, stretched a rope
across Big Bull Falls, and proposed to
walk from the west side of the Falls to
The east When within about thirty
feet of the east shore wagon crossed
the rope, jarring it SO that he lost his bal
ance, and plunged headlong into the
rushing torrent, twenty five feet below.
He struggled for the shore which he
reached in an exhausted condition, a
mile below. A purse of $50 was raised
on the spot and presented to him.
