cabinet, the governor of the Empire State,
United States senators and other dignitaries

the president passes over the bridge and the
structure is declared formally opened. There
will be military parades and at night illum'
nations in both cities and grand displays
OF fireworks will close the demonstrations

hundred feet was what no engineer in
the widest stretch Of his speculations had
ever before conceived. Add 10 this concep-
ton the enormous width Of the span and its
provisions for foot, vehiculsr and railway
traffic, and the audacity Of the plan was
simply astounding. To bring the span
within Roebling's adventurous figures IL
was necessary to plant the towers far out
from the shores, to build them cup from be-
meath the bed and through the rushing tides
of deep arm Of the ocean with all the
precision and cemented solidity Of similar
works on land. This has been successfully
accomplished and is accounted one Of the
most brilliant triumphs Of engineering"
By adopting the principle Of the diving bell
"the granite masonry" as a writer in
Harper's Magazine impressively says, twas
laid solid and true beneath not forty foot
depth of rushing tides alone, but eighty feet
below their surface, on the rock which those
tides had not touched for untold ages" The
towers safely lowered to an unyielding foun-
dalton, every problematical feature disap-
peared from the enterprise. Solid cubes of
masonry, rising to height of ninety feet
and weighing sixty thousand tons each were
built on dry land nine hundred and thirty
feet back of the towers. Underneath this
solid mass were anchored the ends Of the
four great cables on which, passing over the
tops of the towers and descending to the re-
quired height above the water, was sus-
pended by ropes of steel the frame work Of
the mammoth bridge. On vast arches Of
masonry the roadways descend by easy
grades from the anchorages to the streets Of
the cities. Figures fail entirely to give one
any adequate idea Of the immensely of this
structure. To say that each strand OF the
cable contains million feet Of continuous
wire little over one-eighth Of an inch in
diameter wound into skein three inches in
diameter, that each cable is fifteen and
three-fourths inches in diameter and is made
| up of nineteen skeins, that in these four pro
| digious festoons are seventy-six million feet
or more than twenty-five thousand miles Of
wire, that the structure has cost Sl5, 0000 900,
is to cite curious details which might be
indefinitely multiplied. The length of the
span, the size of the towers, the vastness Of
the approaches to the main bridge, the
grandeur of the stupendous whole do not
enter the comprehension through the efforts
of the statistician.
