A novel method of building bridges,
either for temporary or permanent use,
is suggested by an English engineer:
Iron or steel cylinders, twenty, forty
or mere feet in diameter, constructed
of plates riveted to rolled iron or steel
ribs, are rolled into the stream over
which it is desired to carry the bridge.
These gigantic cylinders, with half
their diameter sunk into the water.
form so many arches, over which a
level road can he easily thrown. The
cylinders can be built upon the spot
where they are required, or filled in
with a temporary floor at one en- |, can
be readily tloated to their destination.
The system is expected t. be useful in
laying railroads across land subject to
occasional floods.

The Turning Tower.

One of the most curious and re-
markable structures reared by man is
the Turning Tower of China. 1t is
said by observers to be well worth the
visit and careful examination of every
smith and carpenter in the world. 1t
is Il circular tower consisting of fifteen
stories, each eighteen feet high, thus
making the entire height of the struc-
ture two hundred and seventy feet.
The circumference of the edifce is
thirty feet. Tie most noticeable fea-
tur4 of the tower is that it is sup
ported by "A metal axis, upon which it
turns round with the greatest ease.
There is scarcely more difficulty in
moving it than there would be if it
were designed for child's toy.

An Eccentric Millionaire.

The death OF Baron Wertheim, the
greatest Austrian manufacturer of
iron safes, has deprived Vienna of a
very popular figure. Some people
laughed at him, to his very face, and
all who were not so successful as he
had been envied him. OF uncertain
origin, he began his career as an APP
prentice, and managed to attain
wealth, fame, and eve a title, without
genius or even much talent. When
young he became acquainted with one
Wiese, who, having long served in
American iron-safe Establishments, was
well versed in this branch of industry.
He coniided to Wertheim the secret of
the American safe-lock, and the latter
persuaded some friends to invest a
small capital in a mandatory of iron
safes. He died worth about 5000, 900
florins. Wertheim had a very effect
ual ann of advertising his safes.
In almost every town of Europe, Con-
stantinople not excepted, he subjected
them publicly to the action of fire.
They were always found to be intact
when the fire was extinguished.
The surprised spectators Of course
helped to spread the fame of the in
vention far and wide. 1t was in this
manner that Wertheim ultimately sue
ceeded in commanding almost exclu-
sively the Eastern market. He sent
every potentate, great and small, a
magnificent safe as a present, and by
this means obtained torty-one decora-
tons, some of them of the highest or
der. Among them, it should be sud,
there is not a Prussian nor a British
one. He wore these decorations on
every possible occasion, and the stanch-
est supporters of honors of this kind
could not have refrained from a smile
at sight of the wien little man when he
had all his crosses and stars pinned on
to the front of his old-fashioned frock
coat. He was never so happy as when
he could enter a ballroom dressed in
this fashion. and everybody had a nod
of recognition from him. But, with
strained ears, he listened whether the
nod was followed by "Good-evening,
Baron" If the title were omitted he
stared, looked at the offender severely
through a gold eyeglass, and did not
return the salute.

The BOsttn Failure.

BOSTON, Aug. 27.-Wyman, assignee of
F. Shaw & Bros, says that Shaw will re-
main in Canada until his presence is de-
sired by the creditors here. He does not
think the Park bank will cause much more
trouble in the settlement. Legal proceed
ings were instituted against Shaw as a
non resident debtor under the statutes of
New York state and were made merely for
additional security. George W. Morse,
Shaw's attorney, has gone to New York.
1t is intimated here that Shaw will not re-
turn from Canada until some understand
ing with the creditors is arrived at.
