ABRIDGE "a MILES LONG.
The Wonderful 1restIe from Shore to Shore
Acr0ss Lake POntcbdtridn-
NEW Orleans Picayune

view Ol4CdIo L ASttJ ttAAO'
On Sunday party composed mainly of
railroad officials and contracto interested
in the building of the New Orleans
Northeastern railroad, took a trip across
Lake Pontchartrain for the purpose of ex-
amining the great trestlework now in course
of construction. The entire length of the
trestleworl when completed will be twenty
one and half miles. This distance COM
prises thirteen and half miles from Peo-
Piles Avenue canal to the Point, five and
three-quarter miles across the lake and
two and four-tenths miles from the
north shore. All the piling along the
southern shore. with the exception of about
one mile, has been driven and this division
will be completed by July l. Of the piling
in the lake two and a quarter miles have
been driven, and one mile is completed.
The trestle on the north shore has been
finished some time and the rails are laid
nine miles, or to Pearl river. The trestle
work is all constructed after the same plan,
except that the cross ties are further apart
in the approaches than in the bridge
proper, and that the lumber used in the
latter is creosoted. The description of the
bridge Will answer the other work.
This structure which will probably be
the longest of the kind in the United
States, will also be one of the most sub
stantial. Experts in railroad building
pronounce the section already finished the
most perfect specimen of trestle construc-
ton they have seen. The piles average
sixty feet in length and are driven down
about forty feet. In each there are four
piles and the bents are fifteen feet apart.
The caps of the piles are 12x14 inches, and
the stringers are six by sixteen inches, and
three of them on each side laid
on edge. The cross ties are only
four inches apart, and on them
are bolted stringers, which act as guard
rails. The ties form square decking to
the trestle work, upon which the wheels of
a car could run without danger of leaving
the bridge en- account of the guard rails.
The trestle work from beginning to end,
is one of the grandest undertakings con-
nected with the railroad building in the
| South. Some idea of ITS magnitude may
be formed from the statement that the
| quantity OF lumber required, outside of
the piles, IS over 100000 feet. There

A DRAw-BRIDGE QUESTION.
In reply to an inquiry on the subject.
the secretary of the treasury states that no
special acts of congress regulate the con-
ditions for opening draw-bridges on all the
navigable waters of the country, but if a
private citizen be aggrieved by the closing
of draw he has tis action at common law
for damages, and possibly undec the state
statutes draw bridge which was not prop
erly and seasonably opened might be in
dicted as a nuisance.

the original Indictment remained, but as
he understood it was nearly Identical with

TIE OHIO CYCLONE.

P1rTsBURG, June ia Steubenville, O.,
special says hundreds of people visited the
scene of the cyclone to-day, and viewed
with establishment the destruction of prop
erty in that city. The storm appears to
have formed about one mile west of there
in Union cemetery, and moving eastward
until it reached a high hill overlooking the
northern portion of the city, when it de-
scended with terrific force, damaging and
destroying almost everything in its path as
it swept across the city width of half a
mile, and plunged into. the waters of the
Ohio, lifting them up IN cloud-shaped
like water spout distance of a hundred
feet. The loss is estimated at $15O.000.
The most remarkable thing is the fact that
no one was injured, as the storm passed
over the thickly inhabited part of the city,
and in its path swept away some of the
finest residences.

Mary CARAT was loading. In the first
hack was a lone female, with her head in a

Then came two more hacks each filled with

EVERYBODY can Graft.


Grating is not monopoly of gifted
minds, or an art that can only be ae-
quired by the few. With the ordinary
amount of ''gumption'' to begin with,
followed by careful teaching for only a
short time, almost any one can graft
successfully. Grating is simply plant
ing cutting of one variety in the wood
of another, instead of in the soil. 1t is
essential that the growing layer of the
scion and stock come in close contact,
and be so held until they grow together.
Now is the time to get the scions. They
may be bought at most nurseries, and
great care should be taken to get only
the best varieties If cut at home, be
equally careful to get them of the right
kind, cutting only twigs of last seasons
growth. A fine saw, two good knives,
one strong and heavy, the other small
er, with a keen edge; Il hardwood
wedge, six inches long and half an inch
thick; and small mallet are the nipple
ments used in grating. The wax may
be easily made by melting together,
bees-waN six ounces, rosin and tallow
four ounces each, over moderate fire,
stirring gradually until all is melted
Rolls of waNed cloth may be formed
from old cotton stuff made thin by wear
and torn into strips two inches wide
Wind the strips upon a stick and dip
them into the melted wax; when the
cloth is thoroughly penetrated by the
wax, remove, let drip, and put away
from dust until ready for use
Grating should be done as soon as
the buds begin to swell. Having de-
termined upon the place for the graft,
saw off the branch, smooth the cut sur
face and make cleft with the knife and
mallet. Cut the scion from the twig,
leaving two or three buds upon the
wedge. Open the cleft with the knife
and place the scion in carefully, so that
the lower bud comes at the top of the
cleft. The inner bark, or growing lay
er, of the scion and the stock should
touch as much as possible. If the graft
ell branch is small, single scion is
enough otherwise, put in one on each
side. Unroll enough waxed cloth to
cover the wound of both stocks and sci
ons, and press it on carefully and close
ly. The quick application of this pro-
lection is only matter of practice. 1t
is well for beginners to start with worth
less limbs before doing regular grating
in the orchard. If possible find some
one in the neighborhood familiar with
the process and learn the art from him.
The general principles may be obtained
from printed directions, but the success
of the work will depend upon the knack,
and that is only acquired in the orch
ord

Large Loss in Using Damp Fuel.

Burning wet or damp wood, or coal,
instead of dry is much more wasteful
and expensive than most people imagine
and the subject is worthy of attention.
An extensive series of experiments, re-
Gently made at Bochum, Germany, shows
that six tons of finely broken dry coal
gives as much heat as about seven tons
burned as wet as it would be if water
We're dashed upon it and drained off for
short time And this is the condition
of much coal kept in damp vaults, leaky
sheds, or out-of-doors. The lesson is
obvious; keep the coal in dry place
and condition, and to IA per cent less,
according TO its fineness, will be needed
to obtain the same heat.
There is a good scientific explanation
of this. Water, in changing to steam,
or cold vapor even-that is, in drying
off-conceals, or makes latent, about
1000 degrees of heat. If heated to 2l2
degrees, the boiling point, the steam
really contains about 1900 degrees of
heat, although only PIP degrees are SEN
sible, or are shown by the thermometer.
The waste of heat is still greater in
burning green or wet wood. The sap or
water uses up-that is. carries off in a
latent state-a very large portion of the
heat produced by its carbon. or its dry
material. As much man and team pow
er is required to haul three or four cords
of green wood as for six or eight cords
of dry wood. The lesson is: cut the fuel
and split it as finely as it is to be used,
in the grove; haul it home when well
dried, and keep it in dry place for use.
1t will be worth far more for heating
p1rppoes than if burned green, or wet,
or damp even. The only exception to
this rule is only when, by reason of cas-
Ter hauling on snow, and on account of
the leisure of men and teams in Winter,
it may be expedient to haul home the
green wood then; but in all eases let it
be well dried before it is used
