1t is a curious fact that Sir Thomas Bouch,
after long study, had decided to adopt the
American system Of SUSPENSION bridge, and
had provided for two towers 600 feet high foE
the Forth bridge, just about tho time Ameri-
can engineers began to favor the cantilever
system, and that the Tay disaster dn Decem-

towers-these consisting Of four cylindrical
masses Of concrete and masonry, so placed a

as their combined width. Taken as whole
the Forth bridge must rank as one Of thu

THE BIG FORTH BRIDGE.
" is ONE OF THE WONDERS OF
THE MODERN WORLD.

Nothing Like 1t Has Ever Been Built
Its Form Is Due to the Awful Disaster
which Swept Away the Tay Bridge and
Engulfed a Train Load of Passengers.
Scotland is about to astonish the world with
a cantilever bridge over the Firth of Forth
at Queensferry, which from its size and COM
plexity, as well as the principles applied,
attracts the attention Of engineers in every
country. All readers will readily recall
the awful disaster of ten years ago at
Tay bridge, by which an entire train load
Of excursionists were hurled to death,
the viaduct having been wrecked by sudden
storm. With such energy did company and
engineers work that in less than eight years
another bridge, then claimed to be the most
complete ir the world, spanned the Tay.
