The Suspension Bridges of the Niagara
River

Tue following information concerning
the suspension brides is given by the
Niagara Falls Gazette inresponse to the
inquiries of a correspondent q?
In 1S4S Charles Ellet, a brilliant
rather than profounded engineer.
built the first suspension bridge over
the Niagara on the site of the present
railroad bridge. The bridge was only
for carriages and foot passengers. The
towers were of wood, and the roadway
was only about six feet in width. Just
wide enough for one team.
Mr.. Ellet, In the beginning had offer
ed a reward of s. to the first person who
should get a string over the river. The
next windy day large number of boys
assembled on the bank with kites, and
before night one of them. a former
townsman, named Holman j. Walsh,
then a boy of IS years of age, landed his
kite on the Canadian side and received
tie promised reward
Ly means of this string larger cords,
then ropes, and then iron cables, small
at first but increasing in size, were
drawn across, until the large cables
were thus stretched. This structure
served as most excellent auxiliary in
the construction of the present bridge.
This was built by Americas great en-
gineer, John S. Roebling, and has al
ways been considered one of the greatest
of his works. 1t was commenced in
1852, and the first locomotive crossed in
1854. The iron basket now hanging
under the railroad track, near the
American end of the bridge, was first
used by Mr.. Ellet, and in it the first
person who ever crossed the chasm alive,
and OF his own will, was crossed over.
Ladies have also crossed in this basket.
There is an old Indian tradition that a
resisting chief was once carried to the
opposite side by large bald-headed
eagle who swooped down on the great
warrior as he lay in ambush on the
ground and bore him over
The suspension bridge by Brock S
monument was built in 1856 by Z. E..
Serret. The ice jam of 1866 tore the
guys from the rocks to which they were
fastened, and before they were replaced
terrific gale broke the road away, sew
cred the suspenders and left the struc-
ture dangling in the air.
The new suspension bridge, as it is
called, was built in 1868, the cables be-
ing carried over In the winter on the ice
bridge. Its length is over 200 feet. OF
a full quarter of a mile from outside to
outside OF towers, and is the longest sus-
pension bridge il the world.

An Actors Hobby.

Henry Edwards the well-known actor,
of Wallack's theatre, has one of the fin
est collections of butterflies in the world
In two large rooms Mr. Edwards, has
slowed away about $50, 900 specimens,
comprising 10000 species of insects.
Butterflies and moths are the predomin-
ating orders. That part of mis- collection
that Mr.. Edwards most prizes is the
type specimens, or the originals from
which new species were described. His
forty years researches in all parts of the
world have added between 700 and 800
species to the list of described insects.
Mr.. Edwards was one of the earliest en-
genealogical explorers of Australia and
the other strange countries III that
region of the globe. There are no du-
plicates of some of his species in any
known collections. For one small but
terfiy from New Ireland, in the south
Pacific, brother collector recently Of
fered $25. He has other butterflies that
are quickly taken in the chronological
market at $50 piece. They are not
large or gaudy, but scarce. Next to his
Australian gleanings, Mr.. Edwards
values his California insects, many of
which he was first to describe. Some of
his butterflies were caught in Greenland
and Labrador, some In Patagonia, many
in Lapland, and others at the Cape Of
Good Hope. No climate is too cold,
and none too hot for members of the
butterfly family The Falkland island,
New Guinea, Turkestan, Africa and
Alaska have furnished specimens to the
collection, and South America makes
dazzling display of beauty in the cases.
