The Cantilever Bridge.

The new bridge over the Niagara river,
which connects the Canada Southern
road with the New York Central, is a
mechanical novelty in the way Of bridges.
1t is called a cantilever bridge. This
name is borrowed from architecture, and
means bracket to sustain balcony.
In this new bridge, the only one Of the
kind in America, there are two brackets
opposite each other, each resting on a
pier. The shore ends of the brackets
rest upon and are fastened down to an
other pier; the outer ends, projecting
over the water, sustain central span,
merely resting upon them, and free to
respond to the changes in the tempera-
ture. To get rude idea of the princi.
pie Of the cantilever bridge, place two
chairs two feet apart; put a foot rule on
each chair. held down by book; the
ends Of the rules will not meet aoross
the space separating the two chsirs, but
by resting third iule upon their ends
the bridge is complete. This is skele-
ton idea. Now in place of the chairs
substitute four piers of masonary; in
stead Of the two rules, balance upon the
piers two beams resting upon the inter-
mediate piers and with the shore ends of
the beams placed upon and fastened to
the two extreme piers; another span
resting upon their outer ends substituted
for the third rule, and this is the can't.
lever bridge. There is another bridge of
this kind building in Scotland over the
famous Firth OF Forth The new bridge
Just finished will afford magnificent
view Of the Niagara Falls. Democrats

AUSTRALIANS BIRDS.
'rhelr.Peculiar Cries and their Music

M D. Conway in Philadelphia Times.l
But hark Angels and minis
ters, what is that "The laughing
jackass p For once | admire an
Australian descriptive name. This
merry bird, beginning with q
quantity human ha ha ha! grad
ually rises to a regular hee-haw,
as if it had need to hold its sides
and inhale quick breaths in sheer
inability to arrest its inextinguish-
able mirth. Its character as the
Laughing Philosopher" of the
Australian woods is borne out BY
its appearance. 1t seems kind
of burly kingfsher, dressed in
white and brown, with slightly
crested head and a remarkably
bright, penetrating eye. 1t is
never killed-not in Victoria be-
cause its skill in destroying snakes
has caused o fine to protect it,
and not in other colonies because
of friendly feeling towards it. Ir
the bush it is called the "Settler's
Clock" because 1t always sings
at sunrise and sunset. But it
also sings at other times and is
generally heard in the Botanical
Gardens filling the air with a
laughter which would have de-
lighted the soul of Carlyle There
is a general belief that the Aus
tfalian birds, I though fine in
plumage, are poor sougsters, and
when pretty songs are heard from
the trees Il is common to hear
them a5cribed to imported varie-
ties. But in this the Australians
are in danger of falling into the
mistake that the old Virginians
made in calling their best song
ster "the English inocking-bird."
In the Australian woods and gar
dens there are. some notes not to
be heard else where; those Of the
honey -eater, which is like touches
on guitar, and the fute-like
notes Of the magpie. The magpie
is the pet of the colonial homes
and is taught songs. In Hobart
l was awakened the morning after
my arrival BY neighboring
magpie, whose martin was "Polly,

another responded with half the
theme Of "Ihe Bold Soldier Boy"
As to plumage, the wonderful
decoration OF the Tyre bird is
hardly paralleled. but l was es-
pecially interested in the firstail,
because Of the poetic native fancy
that the touch Of FIRE on its tail
came through its ancestors having
been scorched in saving an ember
for man when some demon was
robbing him Of the promethean
blessing. The legend is worthy
