The bridge over the Kinzua creek
in Pennsylvania, is wonder of en-
gineering science. It is the high
est bridge in the world, and is built
on iron derricks planted across the
valley and guyed:on each side. 1t
is 2, 260 feet long and 800 feet high
from the centre of the stream below.
An exchange says: ut makes ones
head swim to look up at it, or to
look down from it. Workmen who
built it must have been men of nerve.
We were told that when the bridge
was completed half way across and
on the deepest part of the gorge, the
pulley on the end Of an iron beam
projecting go feet out in the air be-
came out of order. A workman
climbed out on that six inch piece
of iron, sixty feet over eternity and
fixed the pulley and crawled back
again. The bridge looks fragile
but it is built to stand the severest
test. It cost a million dollars,
or 81 cents pound completed.

There is danger ola renewal of
the riots at Lancaster, South Caro-
lima. The authorities having made
no move looking to the punishment
of the participants ins the recent
bloody episode, the blacks threaten
to take the law into theirl own
hands. The incentive to do so is
certainly very great. There is no
question but that the killing of the
blacks was deliberate, premeditated
and cold blooded murder, but the
whites being in the control of the
machinery Of the law refuse to take
any steps for the punishment of the
murderers. The number of deaths
resulting from the riot has increased
to twelve-all blacks. Thee fact
that not a white man was seriously
hurt is sufficient answer to the
claim that the negroes were the
agressors. Minneapolis Tribune.

A Small Ioe Machine.

An ice-machine suitable for private
houses, or for steamers, ambulances,
and so on, has been devised by NJ. Raoul
Pictet on the principle of his larger ma
chine. It is capable Of producing two
pounds of ice in fifteen minutes, or about
ten pounds per hour, with an expendi-
ture Of less than q horsepower of ener-
~. It consists of . compression pump
actuated by the motor employed to yield
the power; q freezer surrounding the
cylinder of the pump; and another in
which is placed the vessels containing
the water to be frozen. These parts are
all grouped into machine standing
about four feet high and eighteen inches
square. The process is as follows: Sui
phuric anhydride is placed in the freezer
around the cylinder, and on working
the pump the evaporation absorbs .
large quantity Of heat from well Of
glycerine constituting the freezer by
which the water to Be frozen is sur
rounded. The sulphuric anhydride is
carried by the pump into condenser
where it is fquifed, and in the act yields
up q certain quantity Of heat. The con.
denser is kept cool BY the circulation Of
water.

Colorado Letter.

GEoReErowN, COL, Oct. 4, 1882.
Colorado has often been called the
Switzerland of America" and
credited with the climate of Italy.
Of the climate characteristics and
their effects, ! may be able to give
the reader something pertinent in
another letter, while this one refers
more to what we have seen since my
last, and to what may be seen in
this part Of the world. By the con.
current testimony Of travellers, the
scenery of the Rocky Mountains
has been pronounced not inferior
to that Of the world-famed Alpine
region Of Europe. In the Alps

marked upon By the traveller land
there is y charm there in the

snow.line. But this is atoned for
in the surprising holiness and gran.
deur Of these immense rockies,
while the wonderful and fantastic
formations of Colorado canons are
unequaled anywhere In the universe.
There are no less than fifteen peaks
in this State, each with an altitude
but little below that Of Mt. Blanc;
and in extent Of surface one Of these
great peaks exceeds the entire area
Of Switzerland. To gain some idea
of the extent Of Colorado scenery,
let the reader bear IN mind that this
State is larger than Great Britain,

before US copy OF the St. Peter
Advert;sey of Nov. 3, 1870, Thos.
NJ. Perry, editor and publisher,
in which year Mr.. Hanscome was
also candidate for judicial honors
and was opposed by E. St. Julien
Cox. Mr.. Perry was not SO sweet
on NJ. G. then as he is now, the
following extracts from the col.
umns of the advertiser being fair
sample of his sayings at that time:

Hanscome's soul Gf he has one, which some
doubt to perdition. And yet is clamorous for

he arrives at his manifest deetiny'' let the leRs-
lature OF the internal regions-which by the way
CuSS0O0e0e
the legislature of Minnesota-block out new ju-
dcial district for him down in hell; or at any rate
let him be permitted to play his fayorite game of
tent, with plenty Of whiskey punch and some
one else to pay for it; but may the good lord de-
liver us from his further 1NTRuDED mock judicial
presence here.

where every mans might is his right, rather than

people. et''' ''e

And again:

EXPRESS Case Decided.

In the trials of the five suits Of the eX-
press companies against the railroad COM
panies within the past two weeks. being
respectively the suit of the Adams Express
Company against the Dcnyerand Rio Grandc
railroad, the Adams Express Company
against the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fee
road, the Adams Express Company against
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road, the
Southern Express Company against the
St. LOUIS and Iron Mountain road, the
Southern Express Company against the
Memphis and Little Rock road, Justice
Miller, OF the United States Supreme
Court, delivered an opinion Tuesday
upon the general principles involved in
the suits, finding for the express compa-
mics.
The most important issue in the eases
was the right Of an express company 10 do
business upon a railroad, and the decision
of Justice Miller possesses great weight
and importance because Of the confirms
ton from member OF the Supreme bench
OF the various decisions heretofore rem
dered by the district courts upon the same
principle The five suits were argued coli
lectiyely before Justice Miller and Judges
McCrary and Treat in It. Louis, mention
OF which was made in the ER4UirCr at the
time OF the trial.
1t may be pertinent to say that the suit,
originated because OF the attempt Of the
railroad companies to exclude the express
companies, and either to secure TO them
selves a monopoly OF that business or grant
exclusive privileges 20 some other express
company. The opinion Of Justice Miller
declares that they cannot do this, and must
accord TO the compliments (thc express
! companics) such facilities a. may be re-
quired for the proper production OF their
business aS common carrier, and servants
OF the public, upon the payment OF COM

has continued for over two years, and in
which powerful corporations were arrayed
