The Gables of the East River Bridge.

The four cables are each l5i inches In
diameter, over two thirds OF mile long
(3,57S! feet, and each consists Of 1882
galvanized steel wires, not twisted as in
small wire rope, but lying parallel
from end TO end. No. wire was used,
which is little over one eighth OF an
inch thick, and each cable was made in
nineteen strands. The coils of wire for
one strand were spliced together, so that
each strand consists of continuous wire
running back and forth across the river,
and at each end passing around a grooy-
cd piece of iron called shoe. The rum
ming out and regulating of the wires oc-
cupied year and four months. After
the strands of each cable were made,
they were united in one bundle, which
was wound from end to end with wire,
All the wire used had received five coats
of oil, and the bundle received another
coat before the wrapping; finally, the
finished cable was painted with white
lead and oil. Where the cables pass
through the tops of the towers, they rest
in grooves of iron plates, called saddles,
which are IS feet long, A feet inch
wide, and feet inches thick in the
highest part. The saddles lie length
wise under the cables, and their tops
are rounded so as to afford an easier
bearing. Each saddle is supported on
40 wrought-iron rollers, AZ inches in d.
ameter, which rest in grooves on an iron
saddle-plate.
The nineteen shoes, around which the
separate strands Of cable are looped,
are bolted to as many iron bars, which
are II feet long, inches wide, and 5
inches thick. These bars are laid side
by side in two courses, ten in the lower
and nine in the upper. They are bolted
to another set of similar bars by means
of pins running through eyes in the ends
Of all the bars in each course. In this
way chains of bars are formed, each
consisting of ten links, which reach
backward and downward tothe anchor
plates, both plates and chains being i'm
bedded in the masonry of the anchorage.
The municipalities are elliptical, star
shaped masses of iron, measuring IN
by l6 feet. There is a series OF holes in
the middle of each, through which the
last links of the chains are passed and
fastened by bolts. Four of these plates
lie horizontally beneath and close to the
rear wall of each anchorage. The mass
of stone which holds these plates down
measures 129 by ll9 feet at the base, il
SO feet high on the front and IS feet al
the back The side of the Brooklyn
anchorage was dug down to the water
Level, and platform of timber was laid
under water upon which the first course
Of stone was laid, The soil on the New
York side was so loose that piles had to
be driven in order to secure q firm
foundation. F. A FernaId, in Popular

How A Clerk Made His Fortune.

The withdrawal of the Rothschilds'
agency from San Francisco, through the
retirement of Messrs, Gansl & Cullen,
recalls an anecdote connected with the
house of Rothschild, which will illus
trat the prompt manner in which the
bankers deal with employees. When the
Rothschilds decided on establishing an
agency on this coast they were for some
time in doubt as to who should accom-
pany Mr.. Davidson. who was detailed
for that purpose Finally clerk No l.,
as we shall call him, was requested one
morning to step into the managers
office. Presenting himselfthere, he was
asked how long it would take him to
prepare for journey TO California. He
wished TO know where California was
and how long he should be required to
stay there He was informed of the
locality of the hitherto unknown land,
and that his residence there would be
indefinite, and to take time to consider
before answering Pondering awhile,
he replied that he should require week
TO pack up and say farewell to his
friends. VERY well, said the head Of
the house, "you will be informed should
we decide on sending YOU" and so dis
missed him. Clerk No. 2, was sent for,
and the same questions and answers en-.
suing, asked for three days. He also in
like manner was dismissed, and No. 8,
summoned. On being questioned as to
the time he required to prepare for the
long journey, his reply was, 81 am
ready now VERY well, again replied
the banker, tomorrow you sail for San
Francisco, where You will be junior
partner in the house we are about to
open there The clerk who was ready
at a moments notice to take journey
to the other side of the world was Julius
May, and thus he laid the Foundation OF
the handsome fortune he now thorough
" enjoys.
