The Brooklyn Bridge.

Some slight doubts are cast upon the
safety of the bridge between Brooklyn
and New York. The difficulty is said to
be in the superstructure, the 81 lders,
the added weight caused by leces-
sity of making up for supply often
steel by a supplementary amour, solid
steel Colonel Roebling, in a letter
written last July, stated that the margins
of safety are very Glow in the towers
and cables of our bridge. The anchor
ages it has been possible to re-enforce,
SO that rehabilitation made last week
gives a margin of safety of over three
times, which is enough where mere dead
weight is concerned. For the other two
vital points nothing can be added"
General Newton, in his letter to the
chief engineer of the United States
army, speaks of the insufficiency of the
original plan and estimates, coupled with
the attempt to build for S6,000,000 a
work which will cost $14, 1000, 900.
Another point made by General Newton
is of the purport that, to satisfy the
locomotive interest ''the structure has
been strengthened, the trusses raised
five feet, and the weight increased so
that one whole point in the margin of
safety has been wiped out, and the pres
sure on the tower masonry raised to
thirty-two tons per square foot. While
/ anticipate not evena sign of weakness,
relief can be had at any time by tighten
ing the superstructure. The margin is
as great as at Niagara, and greater than
at Cincinnati. The commission on the
Blackwelrs island bridge recommended
a margin of safety of only three. During
the recent reconstruction of the Niagara
bridge the permanent load was reduced
200 tons. The cables rose four inches,
showing that in twenty-seven years the
the elasticity of the cables had not been
impaired"

The Blind Bride.

We know not who invented this in
strument of horse torture, but we know
he did not understand the anatomy and
physiology of the eye of horse. Human
vision is binocular-that is we see the
same object with both eyes and so adj
Just the axis of vision that the object
appears single, though seen with both
eyes. But the eyes of the horse are
placed on the side of the head and the
axis of each eye is nearly at right angles
with the longitudinal line of the body,
SO that it is impossible that the same
object can be distinctly seen with two
eyes. Now, by binding the eye in the
direction in. which it was intended in its
construction that it should see, it is
forced to use an oblique vision, as if we
should cover the front of our optics and
be compelled to see only by the corners
of our eyes. This unnatural and con-
strained use of the eye must, to a greater
or less extent, impair vision, if not en-
tirely destroy it. The object for which
the blind bride is used is not accom-
plished by it. A horse is more readily
frightened when he cannot see the object
of his dread than if he can have fair
view of it. But it is surprising to observe
with what tenacity men hold on to an
absurd and cruel practice when a mo-
ment's reflection would teach them bet
ter Nineteen out of every twenty
horses you see in harness have blind
brides on, and if you ask the owner to
explain its benefits, or why he uses it,
he will be utterly unable to give
rational answer We are not surprised
that draft horses are subject to diseased
eyes-we wonder that they are not all
blind. american Farmer.

Mesquite Gum.

1t has been found (says the Northeast
ern Lumberma'I) that the mesquite tree
of Texas is identical with, or at least
vastly similar to the acyacia tree of the
East, from which is obtained the gum
arabic of commerce, and an industry in
the direction of collecting and utilizing
this gum is being developed. 1t is held
to be equal or superior to the imported
gum, and quite large quantities were
gathered last year and sold readily at
fifteen cents per pound. A mesquite
grove is q novel and interesting sight,
the encasings of the tree branches being
likened to transparent crystal armor,
rejecting the suns rays, and glittering
and glowing like unto some golden har-
vest. The gum is capable of being
handled with great expedition and IA
cility, the trees always growing in groves
and to medium height. Cattle are also
fond of the gum, and eat it from the trees
where it is in reach. tits believed that
were the mesquite cared for like the ma
pie, and proper operations followed, the
project Of gum-raising would be FEAST
bic and profitable one.

A Few Inquiries.

Yesterday afternoon stranger who

"Do you want to buy some clothing"

"Doan' you vhant some bantloons for

"No."
"Some stockings for ten centsp''

Some suspenders for two shillinos?"
"No. | wanted to ask

The. stanger picked up his satchel and
walked across the street. Then, facing
about, he shouted out:

Wealth in the Senate.

The present Senate contains at least
score of Senators not one of whom is
worth less than $200,00O The richest
man is, of course, Fair of Nevada, who
probably possesses as much as all the
other Senators together. Next to him
is David Davis, of Illinois, a widower,
who is reputed to be the possesscr, If
millions. 1t is somewhat difficult to
name the Senator whose fortune ranks
third in size; but if Eugene Hale of
Maine has received the mantle of his
father-in-law, Zach Chandler, with its
well-lined pockets, his fortune is nearly
as large as that of David Davis. The
wife of Senator Hale is the only daugh-
ter of the late Senator Zach Chandler.
Other very wealthy Senators are Miller
of California, Malone Of Virginia, and
Sawyer of Wisconsin, known to be worth
more than a million each. Sewel OF
New Jersey is a railroad man, and is
very wealthy. Senator John Sherman
of Ohio, it is said. is worth more than
$4,000, 900, his property consisting large
ly of real estate in Washington. Among
other Senators who write their fortunes
with seven figures are Cameron of Penn
sylvania, Camden and Davis of West
Virginia, Brown of Georgia, and Plumb
of Kansas. Senators Hill of Colorado,
German of Maryland, Mcpherson of
New Jersey, and Pendleton of Ohio are
all worth more than 100000. Many
other Senators are comfortably fixed,
possessing little boards of from $4,000
to 100000. Among those who have
but little comparatively here below
that is not more than 800, apiece--are
Morrill, of Vermont, Anthony of Rhode
Island, Rollins of New Hampshire, Jones
of Nevada, Saunders of Nebraska, and
Allison of Iowa. - Portland (Me.) Argus.
