Antiquity Of Bridges,

The first were of wood, and the
earliest of which we have any account
was built in Rome 500 years B. c..
The next was erected by julius Caesar
for the passage of his army across the
Rhine. Trajan's great bridge over
the Danube, 477O feet long, was
made of timber, with stone piers. The
Romans also built the first stone
bridge which crossed the Tiber. Sus.
pension bridges are of remote origin.
A Chinese one mentioned by Kirchen
was made of chains supporting a
roadway $50 feet in length, was built
A. D. IS, and is still to be seen. The
first large iron bridge was erected over
the Severn in 1777. The age of rail-
ways has brought remarkable de-
velopment in this branch of engin-
eering, especially in the construction
of bridges of iron and steel.

In recent experiments the average
crushing force resisted by red bricks
was $3.50 pounds per square inch.
They were slightly cracked. Bricks
supporting about one. seventh of this
ioad-or 63 tons per square foot
have been accepted as safe for high
towers if still uncracked. At the
base of the tallest brick structure in
existence-the famous chimney of
42O feet in hight at st. Rollox, Glas-
gow-the pressure is calculated at
667O per square foot.

Tree Preferences Of Lightning.

The curious question has been
asked why oaks and elms are especi-
ally liable to be struck by lightning
1t was declared in 1887 that the elm,
chestnut, oak and pine were the trees
most often struck in America; and in
1860 Mr.. G. J. Symons stated that the
elm, oak, ash and poplar were the
most frequently struck in England.
A Madgeburg record covering 10
years, reports injuries to 265 trees, 165
being oaks, "a Scotch frs, 20 pines,
and 20 beeches. 1t has been sug-
gested that the frequency with which
oaks are struck is due to the presence
of iron in the wood.

Brains In Tertiary Times.

In a paper on the size of the brain
in extinct animals, Prof. Marsh, of
Yale College, has brought forward the
remarkable fact that in the race for
life during past ages the survival of
any particular group of animals de-
pended on the size of their brain as
compared with that of their contem-
poraries of the same class. Brains
won then, as now, and the brain of
animals crushed out Of existence was
always found to be relatively smaller
than that of those OUTLYING them.

An OmRivOrOus Animal.

Professor German See, the emf
nent French psychologist, declares
that man is omnivorous, and is des-
tined to live on the elements furnished
by the three kingdoms of nature. He
cannot maintain robust health on
meat alone as food, nor can he live on
vegetables alone. The practise of
pure vegetarlanism is simply impossi-
possible, and the so called vegetarians
are compelled to make up the def.
cheney in theif food by consuming a
quantity of such animal substances
as milk, eggs and butter. From the
mineral kindom must be had pure
water, which can be replaced by no
other fluid.

A. singular case in charge of DR..
Strumpell, of Leipzig, a few years
ago, was that of man in whom brain
disease had destroyed all sensibility
to touch, and also the functions of
one eye and one ear. The man was
wide awake, conscious and intelligent
when the remaining eye and ear were
open, but at once became uncon-
scious when they were carefully closed.

Another Aluminium Process.

In new French process an electric
current acts upon saturated solution
of sulphate of aluminium in the pres
ence of colution Of common salt,
the two solutions being separated by
a porous vessel. A double chloride
of aluminium and sodium is formed,
which is decomposed and the alum
mum set free is deposited on the
negative electrode. 1t is claimed
that the important result of cheaper
ing the manufacture of aluminium
may be accomplished by this method.

Although tried quite a number of
times, surgical operations for the re-
moval of tumors or foreign bodies
from the stomach have almost invari

England, where large mass of hair,
weighing about pound, was removed
from the stomach of a young lady

A Graceful Compliment

The people of Switzerland paid this
country graceful compliment in chang
ing their national holiday from the 9Th OF
July to the 5th, in ordef to keep it stimuli
taneOusly with ours. 1t shows that tht
kinship of republics appeals TO the imagi,
nation as strongly as the brotherhood ot
kings. The Swiss celebrate a battle; VT
celebrate a declaration of principles; both
transactions were in harmony with theiI
times. Winkelried, throwing himself
upon the Austrian spears and catching
their points in his bosom so that his com
rades could break the Austrian line, was
in his way the precursor of jefferson, who
blunted the weapons of despotism against
a stone wall of political principle. Ameri
cans, swollen with sense of their nun
bers, and their power, and their wealth
and their intelligence, are apt to look
down upon the smaller republics Of other
times and other climes. Perhaps it would
be in better taste TO withhold our lofty
condescension till We have lasted as long
as they.-San Francisco Chronicle.
