The work of reconstructiug Dale creek
bridge has been completed, and the bridge
is now one of the most substantial of its
kind in the United States. The work
that has been done has mainly been con
fined to putting in new and more substan-
tial girders between the spans. The old
girdors were but eight inches thick, while
the new ones are three and e-half feet
thick. There are seventeen spans of the
bridge, so hat the work was necessarily
slow aud it had the tendency, while it was
going on, of impeding or delaying travel,
and for a month or more no trains passed
over the bridge between the hours of S a,
III. and 4 p. m. In addition to putting in
the new glrdcrs and otherwise strengthen
ing the bridge, ''eoops' have been built
at convenient intervals on the bridge,
thereby aiIording what the bridge never
had before, a place Of refuge for a person
passing over 1t on foot who is overtaken
in his pcrilous journey by a fast running
train. Railroad men say that they now
feel much easier while riding over the
bridge than they did before the repairs
were made.

The Publication of Refuse Water.
Experiments were made some time
ago at the Kronenberg workmen's col
ony near Essen, Germany, belonging TO
the celebrated steel works of Krupp, for
the purpose of purifying refuse water
from the houses sufficiently to allow for
its flowing into a river without danger
Of the water Of the latter being rendered
unfit for cleansing purposes. The Chem
iker Zeitung remarks that this ia MS
much as can reasonably be expected
from a process Of publication, it being
evident that the use Of river water for
drinking Is a remote contingency,
ngainst which no special precautionary
measures are necessary.
The system of publication in question
is founded upon the simple fact that all
the substances held in suspension by re-
fuse water, and such dissolved substances
IA have a tendency toward decomposi-
ton, car be easily precipitated and de-
composed by a relatively small addition
OF lime and green vitriol. The former
is first added, and when il has exercised
its full decomposing power, the sulphate
of iron completes the process of p%uriiica-
ton. At the Kronenberg colony this
work is carried on satisfactorily by
means of two basins, into which the
chemical agents are introduced by a sim
pie method. There is an ingenious con-
trivance for regulating the supply of
chemicals, so that it may be in proper
ton to the quantity of water to be
treated. This is effected by the action
of n water wheel, the speed of which is
regulated by the volume of refuse water
coming in, this varying at different
times of the day, according to the do
nestle operations going on.-Boston

The wild beast pest but slowly disap-
pears in British India. There, Is, how
ever, a slight decrease in the loss OF life
from the bites Of wild animals and ven
omous snaks. Tho numbers are 90, yO5
for 1881 aud 2e, 1926 for 1884. The
numbers representing those due TO
snake bites are 20,0J7 and a,G20 In
the two years respectively. Tho re-.
ported loss OF cattle amounted to 40,
612, against lli7si in the previous year.
OF these, a. ,nti are said to have been
caused by wild animals and las by
snakes. Tigers and leopards are shown
to have been about equally destructive,
having killel ~. $50 and 10, 500 head OF
cattle rcspe lively.
In the number OF wild animals de-
stroyed there was a satisfactory increase
from 1913 0 in the previous year to
%, 40. Tho destruction of poisonous
snakes Is enOrmou but tho numbers
have declined from ~. 1872 to $50, lsl.
Wherever the system OF rewards have
Teen pursued the figures have shown a
satisfactory increase, although il natur-
ally happens that here aud there a too
adventurous snake killer pays for his
daring with bis life.

Lord Tollemache, who has just COM
pleted his a0th year, is said 10 be the
model English landlord. He possesses
about 40, 200 acres of land in Cheshire,
and during the whole of the agricultural
depression, from 1877 to 1885, he had
neither a vacant farm nor a tenement
in arrears. His estate in Cheshire has,
during his lifetime. been cut up into
farms averaging about 200 acres in ex-
tent, his lordship considering that a
thrifty farmer with IONS and daughters
could do excellently on n 200-acre farm,
while he would suffer severely on n
smaller holding. In order to break up
his estate into farms of that size, he
built, or rebuilt, between fifty and sixty
farm-houses at the cost of 14S, 900
pounds sterling, each of these home
steads costing about . ZOO pounds ster-
ling. In addition to this, Lord Tolle-
mache has built 260 cottages for the ac-
commodation of the laborers.
In regard to the education of children
IN his estate, an anecdote is told Of his
lordship's practical common sense. Lord
Tollemache was anxious to provide
mixed schools for the education of the
farmers and laborers' children; but
after the buildings had been erected at
considerable expense he found that the
tenant farmers objected to send their
sons to the same schools with the labor
ers' children. Having listened quietly
to the masters complaint, the noble lord
said: There is only one way out Of the
difficulty; | will send my own sons to
the school," For nearly two years Lord
Tollemache's children attended the
school, and, their father adds, ito their
undoubted advantage New York

This inability OF the eye may be de-
monstrated by comparing a watch with
a regulator by seconds. The watch can
only be timed exactly by keeping the eye
for awhile IN the clock, counting with
the beat OF tho clocks second hand, and
then maintaining tho count while the
