LARGEST IN THE WORLD.


"There is nothing absolutely extraordinary
| in the construction of the new viaduct unless
it be its length, which would mako Of it the
| largest in the world. When, however, bridges
have been built two miles long, as they often
have, there is no reason why one thirty five
kilometers in length should not be con-
structed. The onl y real difficulty, as regards
the construction consists in laying the foun-
dations of the piers in deep water In COM
parison with that the raising of the iron pier
towers and superstructure will be easy work.
As, however, such an engineering feat has
been done already, there is also no reason
why the thing should not be again accom-
plished. In Australia piers have been sunk
fifty meters, greater depth than any to
bo found on our way between Ambleteuse
and FOlkestone
"There is, however, one vital point deserv-
ing our best consideration. The proposal to
construct viaduct between France and
England raises question similar to that put

what the advocates of the present project

At a meeting of the Minneapolis
board of trade last Monday, the commit
tee on water power and navigation re
ported that Capt. John b. Davis last
proposition was still in force, and urging
upon the board favorable consideration
of the same. This proposition was, In
brief, that Minneapolis should furnish
fourfrths of the capital, Capt. Davis to
take the remaining fifth of the stock
himself, and the control of the enter
prise to be in the hands of Minneapolis
parties. The committee regarded the
proposition as IAN exceedingly gem
erous one and entirely fair to the bust
ness men of Minneapolis. and such a
one as is not likely will again be
made them" Revving tne contem~
plated improvements of the river, the
committee expressed the belief that the
actual demonstration OF the navigabilily
of the river to Minneapolis would hasten
the realization of the plans of Maj
Allen. The report was signed by John
@. Reno, J. Newton Mind, Ezra Farms

The large amount of inert matter or
residuum in both the phosphate and alum
powders will be noted. This in the phOs
phate powders is largely of lime; in the
alum powders it is chiefly alum. 1t will
be gratifying to the public to observe that
the powder in most general use, the
Royal, is also the purest. In comparing
the first two powders on the list, for in
stance-the royal and DR., Price's-the
inert matter in Prices is seen to be about
five in seven more than in the former, H
difference of II 81 per cent, the Royal
being purer than Prices by correspond
ing figure.
The carbonic or leavening gas produced
by the powders indicates their strength;
and their true value may be ascertained
by considering tue amount of this gas in
connection with their inert matter or res
duum as shown above. The higher the
percentage of gas aud the lower the per-
centage of residuum the better the baking
powder. These percentages, ~ found in
some of the most familiar powders, are
given as follows.

The Ohio State Dairy and Food Cons
mi sion, under the direction of the legls-

result of its recent official examination of
The baking powders Of the market. AS
many of the brands analysed are in use
throughout the country, the report OF
the commission will be found OF general
interest
The startling fact is brought out by the
report that of the thirty different brands
Of baking powder analysed, twenty are
made from alum, a substance declared by
the highest medical authorities to be in
furious to health when used as food.
The commission classify the baking
powders into three general divisions, ac-
coTding to their value:
/. Cream of Tartar Baking Powders
.. Phosphate Baking Powders.
3. Alum Baking Powders,
The commission explains that the best
baking powder is that which, the ingre-
dents being healthful, gives of the largest
amount of leayening gas and leaves
the smallest amount eff residuum in the
bread A small amount of carbonate Of
ammonia, which is considered heglthtul,
is used in some of the cream of tartar
powders to give them higher strength.

doubtedly hurtful salt. The report
ranks the powders and shows the amount
in each of inert resutants, which in using
it would appear as residuum in the bread,
