A Brief Description Of the Structure.

The entire length of the bridge, proper and
approaches, is l ,250 feet, this distance being
made up as follows: Two cantilever spans
3sl Clio feet and 2s6 2-lO feet respectively
one fixed centre span l434 feet long; five
plate glrder approach spans of a total length
OF 469 feet. The piers are Az feet apart,
that distance representing the span in the
clear, which is seven feet more than the cell
eorated structure across the Niagara
river. From low water mark the
height of the under side of the
bridge is SO 4-l0 feet, being inches higher
than the suspension bridge spanning the river
just below. The tower at the western end is
carried up to height of 81 feet while that
on the eastern end is 20 feet less. The stone
arms of the cantilever are anchored to
beams solidly built with heavy masonry,
which has resisting force of more than p
400 900 pounds
Nothing but the best of material has been
used in the construction of the bridge, the
steel having been rolled in Ger
many, England and Scotland, and man
ufactured at the shops of the Domin
ION Bridge Company at Lachine, Province of
Quebec. The bridge in all its members is
designed to carry without permanent set or
strain, three OF the heaviest locomotives
coupled together and followed by train Of
loaded freigh, cars. The masonry for the
piers and anchorages is frst-class work /;
plain, massive, substantial and perfect
tower of strength. Starting at low
water line. the foundation for the
eastern pier was blasted out of solid
rock, and the mighty mass of granite mason
~ rises to a height of 50 feet while the pier
at the western nd, also founded on the solid
ledge, springs from the cliff 40 feet above
low water, and rises 80 feet 10 the line of the
eastern pier. The extension from the Inter
colonial Railway TO the new bridge, has been
very expensive piece of construction, in
volving great deal of heavy work and con-
siderable bridging.

SMALL POX CIRCULAR.
From the state Board OF Health to the
Lumbermen.

The view of not only saving life far as pos
sibe. but also deeming it duty, when practicable
TO consider the business interests of the State, the
State Board of Health wish to bring to umbermen
the following considerations
In Canada there is very unusual and fatal preva-
lence of small -pox. In Montreal there have been
fer some time from twenty five to thirty deaths daily
and lately the number has ranged from forty fifty.
The number of cases of the disease which actually
exists in the city it is hard to get at account OF
the imperfections in the reports of deaths but the
number lately has been variously estimated at from
1900 to 1000. Outside of Montreal the disease has
spread so that now many other Townsend villages are
affected. The result OF this il that the business of
the Province is depressed, and it seems inevitable
that much larger number OF the men than usual
must leave their homes the coming winter to seek
employment in other places. This will undoubtedly
bring an unusual influx of these people into
State for the purpose OF working in the woods In
hiring these men there will be considerable danger
of introducing small pox into the camps There
will be not only the dang of having who have
been exposed to the disease come down with 1t after
they arrive In camp but the greater danger that the
contagion of the disease (Which may be preserved
for months in clothing which has not been disinfect
ed) may be communicated to those who have not
been where the disease is What the results of the
introduction of small pox into a camp would be it
needs but little rejection to show II would mean
the speedy leaving of many of the men and the i'm.
possibility OF getting other hands to take their
places. This would mean the failure of the lumber
operation for the season.
To obvate these dangers it is recommended thu
every operator require that no man shall be hired
for the woods unless he has been recently vaccinated
1t is not sufficient that the man has at some time or
other been vaccinated, but it should be required
that he has recently been vaccnated
The lumber operators are in a position to do much
IN helping to protect the 5 ate from small pox the
coming winter, and for the purpose of guarding the
webeing of the Commonwealth and at the same
time looking after their own business interests the
Board would like suggestions from them in regard
TO the practicable ways of securing vaccination
of the men whom they hire 1t is not wished TO ere.
any unnecessary apprehe nsions, but the danger
which has been pointed out is real and iderab e.
and the only way OF guarding against it is by the
method which has been suggested.
BY order of the State Beard of Health.
