Philadelphia Prese Dutch Billy

OF Spruce street mansion. "Soap fat,

back and banged against the can.
"Himmel," said Dutch Billy to the

Dutch Billy stuck his fingers down
into the fat and pulled outa plain gold

TnE WAITING ANGEL.

The painter who would drop his brush
BecausG he could not seize the blush
OF heaven when birds do dreAmily stir
And the first warm sun to- ehes her,
Would not be worthy Of name.
He cannot copy the morning hame,
But with his best of artist wit
Lovingly strives 10 render IL,
And heaven, in an ideal sense,
For him and us makes recompense.
The poet who should break his Tyre
Because he could not make the wire
Echo the music Of tho spheres
In perfect time TO mortal ears,
Translate all utterance of the gods
In the rude phrase of mortal clods,
Fling from it's delicate frame Of gold
The thunder, awful as 1t rolled
No bard were he He sings his best,
Celestial law provides the rest.
The msn who will not grid his loins
For that which truth or love eDjoins,
Because he knows his work when wrought
Will fail below his hope and thought,
Is no true workman, Let him do
The thing his conscience points him to,
And he shall find the seed he cast
Spring up, when many days are past.
While every honest deed will bring
A training for that nobler thing
For which archangel duly waits,
Keeping occs sion's golden gates
For such as watchfully pursue
Her long, laborious avenue
Many she calls, but cho0seth few
To crown at last where crowns are due.

deep water" The approaches on both
aides are without special interest, be-
ing simply girder bridges of toe ordi-
nary type. The only feature about
them Ii the great hight OF the piers
and the fact that the girders are made
not Of iron, but OF Siemsns rolled
steel. The spot chosen for the cree
ton OF the bridge was at North
Queensferry, where, from the pro-
trusion OF a peninsula, the shores
OF the Forth apprc ach within mile
of each other. Added to this the
island rock OF Inchgsrvie stands here.
II is somewhat nearer the northern
than the southern shore, and is almost
exactly in the middle OF the deep
water channel before referred to, and
divides It into two stretches Of ITO
feet each. On the north side the
depth bslow high water is 2lS feet and
on the south l07 feet. Indeed, but I r
the intervention of the island, the
building of the bridge would have
been entirely beyond the resources OF
modern engineering. Even with IFS
Intervention, as half way rest, special
appliances had to be designed and pro-
vIded. On the south side there are
ten piers, two on land and eight in
shallow water, including the lofty
cantilever pier at the junction OF the
viaduct with the southern cantilever,
and on the north there are ak piers,
including another great cantlleyer, all
on land. These piers are each $50 feet
high above lower water, and on the
top OF them are placed the grid
eis, twenty feet high, on Top Of
which again are laid the rails, thus
giving the required "fair way" at high
tide in midsti cam Of $50 feet. There
are altogether three cantilevers, the
central one being on Inchgarvie, q
second one on the edge Of the deep
water channel on the south, and q third
on the edge Of that of the north, The
arms of the central one stretch forth
TO meet the arms OF the ones to north
and south. They do not, however,
actually meet. The distance between
each is $50 feet, and this is joined by
a horizontal girder bridge. Thus the
two deep water channels are spanned.
The span will have the appearance OF
an arch. though it is not actually 80.
The Forth bridge will not, by any
means, be a beautiful structure--noth-
ing to compete with the delicate cut.
line and beauty OF our bridge at home.
But it is not always possible for beauty
and usefulness to go hand in hand.
To those who, however, all the reali-
zation of the useful see the beautiful,
"the dawnipg grandeur OF the design,
and its manifest adaptation OF means
to ends, will appear to be marvellous
triumph Of engineering skill, OF patient
labor and of commercial enterprise"

HOW TO TAP THE CLOUDS.
Ex-Judge Woodbridge strong'n
Novel Method for Pro-
dueing Rain.

Just now people in New Brunswick
are suffering severely from the long
continued drouth, says the New
York World. No rain has fallen for
weeks, and the streets are dusty,
while the extreme heat all through
the city causes considerable suffering
During all this while ex.Judgs
Woodbridge Strong has been thinking
bueily with his ever planning, shrewd
and skilful brain. The great question
in bis brain has been: "How can the
drouths OF summer be averted 7"
he pondered over this subject through
long and torrid days. through hot and
restless nights, and at last the answer
suggested itself.
His idea, to put it briefly, Is to bring
rain from clounds by conclusion. He
claims that if kegs of dynamite or
nitro-glycerine or some other power
ful explosive are hoisted up into the
clouds by aid OF balloons and are fired
by electricity the explosion viii pro-
duce rain in proportion to the amount
OF the explosive used and the force
Ct the shock caused thereby.
"It wouldn't do" he admits, ITO
send dynamite up in iron casks, for
the falling fragments might do consid.
cradle damage. All that is needed to
bring about storm is small and
cheap balloon fastened to a wooden
cssk filled with dynamite. An electric
spark could he communicated along a
wire as soon as the cir machine had
reached ihe desired height, and rain
would follow quickly. The explosion
would burst tue clouds. The wooden
incasement would be all blown to
splinters that in falling would do no
damage.
"Thus storms all over the country
might be regulated, II the government
would take UP my idea and establish
rain producing citations all through
the United States. By this method
man would control the heavens almost
as we'll az the ear;h. Cyclones, lorna
does and hurricanes as we'll as drouths
would all be done away with, TOR the
clouds would not be permitted to re-
serve their contents from one section
to another until they had goTged
themselves with water for the pur-
pose OF flooding rivers elsewhere and
sweeping away entire towns. The
plan, l think, is o feasible one, and I
am going to write out my ideas and
publish them in some scientific jour-
nal. Why don't / experiment myself
before launching out my idea upon
the world? l have neither the time
nor money, but believe thoroughly
that the thing may be made auc-
