suspensIou Bridges In Perm.

The ancient Incss, not being sc-
quainted with the principle Of the
arch, and inhsbiting a country where
no large timber was found, were
compelled to resort to suspension
bridges in order to pass the deep ra-
vines which crossed their famous
highways. And as nothing heavier
than a man or llama ever had oc-
casion to travel on the highways,
very light structures answered every
practical purpose. - To this day
bridges precisely like those of the
Lucas occupy the very sites where
these were built. These slight struc-
lures involve every principle which
enters into our own suspension
bridges.
Stout cables, composed Of braided
withes, are stretched from bank to
bank, and support the flooring, which
consists Of strips of bamboo laid close
together across the cables. Two
smaller cables above the others serv-
ed as handrails.-The cables rapidly
decay. and must be renewed every
two or three years, so that the main
tenance of these simple bridges in-
wolves no little labor. The most ia
nous of there suspension bridges is
that which crosses the deep gorge Of
Rio Apurimac. between Cuzeo and
Aysacucho. 1t is 14S feet long,
from support to support, and it is lis
feet from its lowest depression to the
water which roars below.

There was once found, says Inyo
(CaD Independent" q pair Of field
glasses in the desert near what 10
known as Deaths valley. The
glasses are supposed to have belonged
to Hahn, lost guide Of Wheeler's
Expedition. They were brought into
one of the interior towns by an Indi-
an, and purchased from him. The
most singular fact connected with
them is that every object within range
of where the glasses bad Been lying
for year or more is distinctly photo
graphed upon them. We have heard
of such phenomena before, bat this is
one of the most remarkable instance
we remember Both object glasses
covered with perfect and beautiful
photographs or etcbings Of
desert shrubs, stems, branches,
leafstalks. Leaves and leaflets are
distinctly marked, as if laid on by
master hand. There is no mixture
or confusion of one plant with an
other, each having clear border Of
unmarked glass. rendering it probable
that the san or tightening photograph,
or whatever it may be, was received
through the eye glass. These pic
lures seem TO occupy a position about
the center of each Of the object glas-
ses, but little nearer the plane than
the convex side.
