The East River Suspension Bridge.

The vast network of wires and cables
that are to enter into the construction of
the suspension bridge between New
York and Brooklyn are being slowly
spun, with spider-like patience, at the
iron-works in Pittsburgh and Brooklyn,
and it is believed that 1880 will be
reached before all the material will be
ready for the builder and the bridge up.
The work of laying two of the cables is
now in progress. There are four of
these supporting cables, each consisting
of 10 strands, with $50 wires to the
strand, and weighing 800 tons apiece.
The cables are 154 inches in diameter,
and their supporting power is calculated
to be altogether A, 800 tons. Other in
teresting statistics concerning the bridge
are, that its total length, including land
approaches, is $3.50 feet; the river span
being 1885 feet; it is IS feet wide; the
towers rise 277 feet above the water
level, while the center of the river span
is 1856 feet above the water level, and
the estimated cost is 1850, OOO-S9,-
100000 for the bridge itself, ard 49,
500, 900 for land damages.

Hsw Anacsndas are Captured.

The anaconda in the Geological Car
dens, London, which has been consid-
cred quite respectable snake, turns out
10 be comparatively small creature of
Its kind. Henry J. Cooke, of Caracas,
Venezuela, in letter to Frank Buck
land, states that in the small river flow
ing into the Orinoco, there are large
numbers of anacondas much larger than
the one the society has, and that in a
large pond near friends house in Ma
turin lives in shy retirement one that is
Sc feet long and yard in diameter.
The managers of the Gardens have Of
fered %, 800 for the capture and deliv-
cry in England of this serpent. 1t re-
quires an expert fisherman to catch
these creatures alive. In Africa a live
dog is used as bait, and after the dog
has been bolted, the boa coils up and
takes q nap, and then the fisherman
stuffs him into bag. A big pocket
will be required for the gentleman in
the Maturin pond PhilGdelphia Bal
setin.

Didn't Want Any Books.

A book agent of this city, says the Vir-

agent one day stopped at a cabin, stu

reaching the cabin, half q dozen dogs OF
assorted sizes andunrecognizable breeds
started up from under stunted pines OF

place, yelping and barking like pack
of coyotes. In the wake of the dogs
swarmed forth seven or eight bare-head-
ed, flaxen haired children, plainly all Of
one breed, the forest breed. The juveniles
were followed by q gaunt, saffron-com-
plexioned woman of about 40. By cook.

To the woman who thus appeared the
