nav HUDSON RIVER BRIDGE.

The bridge across the Hudson river al
PepSskill is not built yet, except upon paper.
1t is not, but it is to be by the 1st of January,
1883, its charter says. The Union Bridge
company, OF New York city-Gen. w. c.
Hurd, president-has the contract for its
construction.
1t issto be n suspension bridge, patterned
after those Mt Brooklyn and Cincinnati.
Peekskill is a picturesque and wealthy town
on the left bank Of tho tho Hudson, forty-two
miles north of New York city, chiefly noted
for being the suInmer home of Henry Ward
Beecher. Close by is A%nthony's Nose, a
mountain 1900 feet high. The bridge win
cross from the side of this noun
s.ssls, III n baight above the Hudson
river of 1893 Feet. This will leave room below
for the passage of ships and steamers. Wash
ington Irving in his highly verecious history
says the mountain got its namef from the nasal
organ of Anthony Van Corlear. The bridge
will cross from Anthony's Nose to old Fort
Clinton on the west bank. The height above
the water 81 the towers supporting the cables
will be something tremendous, $40 feet.
1t is proposed to connect on the west side
of the river with the Erie railway, the Lehigh
and Hudson, the New York, Susquehanna
and Western, the Ontario and Western, the
Central Railroad of New Jersey, the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, the Reading, the Baltimore
and Ohio, the New Jersey and New York,
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, the
Pennsylvania and Slatington and the West
Shore railroads; on, the east side of the river
with the New York Central and Hudson
River railroad and the New York City and
Northern r~ailroad-thus giving direct COM
m%unieation with the elevated railway system
Of New York city and the New York and
Harlem, the Housatonic, the Naugatuck, the
New York, New Haven, Hartford and Spring
field, and the New York and New England
railroads: n direct all-rail connection between
the great western and southwestern stu t4s
and all New England, the western river cnnn-
ties of New York and the city of New York.

There seems to be no longer any doubt Of
the existence of this marine monster. For a
century or more similar serpents have been
seem and described, but the stories have been
discredited until this summer, when, through
the persistence of the monster in exhibiting
itself, it can no longer be considered a myth.
In the last century q missionary to Green
land describes s,lch a monster. This was on
July 6, 1884. Soon after this the bishop Of
Bergen, a member of the Copenhagen
Academy of Sciences, published a Natural
History of Norway in which he collects con-
siderable evidence to prove the existence Of
this serpent. In 1917 the sea serpent was first
seen opposite Gloucester, Mass, and the Lin
naen society of New England, after carefully
investigating the alleged apparition, reported
that it considered the testimony obtained
Sufficient to place the existence of the animal
beyond doubt" On Aug. 8, 1873, Capt. Nc
Quahe, in command of the Daedalus of the
Brisish navy, encountered a sea serpent. But
this year the monster has been seen several
times, notably off Gloucester on The Massa-
chusetts coast and in the Hudson river and by
highly creditable witnesses. If the animal Is
not eventually captured, it is to be hoped at
least a photograph OF him may be obtained
when the accuracy Of eur picture Of him will
be established.

All OF us remember the pictures the geog-
raphy books give OF earthquakes in torrid
countties-wnlls and towers toppling over
and people fleeing for their lives, But more
of us ever thought the scene could come to lis
in our safe ATTITUDES. 1t has done so, and
now we know there are no ATTITUDES safe from
earthquakes. Just as the pictures repre-
sented the scene in the school books, even SO
1t was in Charleston. Women were drawer

coolly into the streets, after the men had fled

emergencies is soften conspicuous.
1t was the first shock that did the damage
In Charleston. There were neirly, or quite,
dozen altogether, occurring ithin the next
thirty-six hours. The shocks came in waves,
as, indeed, everything else does. The first

must have been experienced by the train load
of excrrsionists on their way from Columbia
to Charleston. To find their train suddenly
waving up in the air, then humping down

and so on for several seconds without any
known cause for it, at the same time with an
unearthly roar sounding in their ears, is an

rear end went downward, and vice versa.
The engineer put the brakes on as hard as he
could, and still that marvellous train moved
onward. 1t actually kept the track through

rails were examined they were found to be
bent in serpeltine waves.

To get the situation properly it viii be well
TO consider q moment the location of Charles
ton. 1t is in the angle formed by the juno
ton of the Cooper and Ashley rivers. They
unite here and flow to the ocean seven miles
distant. Sea water and frxh ter mingle
all ! n one, and this estuary forms the noble
Charleston harbor, landlocked on three sides.
The earthquake came from the sea on
the southeast and throbbed across the beau
tiful, hapless city toward the northwest.
Whaa made the visitation still more distress
ing was the fact thnt only six days before it a
terrific cyclone had swept over Charleston,
doing vast damage. When the dull, awful
roar of the earth tremor was heard on that
lasiSlight of August many thought that it was
another cyclone.
Nh. Dawson, editor Of The News and Cou-
rier, was in his Office at the time. How a man
feels in an earthquake is thrillingly told by
him. He wrote:
From the first to the last it was a continu.
GUS jar, only adding force OF every moment,
and as it approached and reached the climax
OF Its manifestation 1t seemed for q few terri
bic seconds that no work of. human hands
could possibly survive the shock. The floors
were heaving under foot, the surrounding
walls and partitions visibly swayed to and
fro, the crash of falling masses Of stone and
brick n mortar was heard overhead, and
without the terrible roar filled the ears, and
seemed to fill the mind and heart, dazing per-
ception, bewildering thought, md, for a few
painting breaths, or while you held your
breath in dreadful anticipation of immediate
and cruel death, you felt that life was already
past, and waited for the end as the victim
with his head on the block awaits the fall of
the uplifted ak.
Not a man in the office expected to escape
alive. The shocks began at 9:5S P. NJ. The
clocks that We're stopped by the awful shocks
made the record.

safe from earthquakes, it was just that part
OF the country which has been shaken up. If
the theory Of the cause of these ground dis
turbances is correct they ought to be manifest
mostly along mountain ranges, as indeed
they are.
