rnI roRrn BRIDGE.

Tie connecting glrirr bridge between
the south and the v.ntfv cautilr,er 81 the
Forth Bridge Nas completed yesterday
that !. to .ty. the two sections ~ ID we're
loluci Ia the middle. The actual june
ton has isceu delayed for several day.
by the cold ani stormy weather, accom-
panied by q low temperature, which had
caused the steel o. contract undulv.
lc.tuulay the weather Was considered
tu BE- very favorable fOr the operation ~
Joining up. Mt. Arrol -uperintsn,Ied
the work. aud Mes.r-. cooper aud Mulr.
representing The engineers, were present.
The connecting plate. " hich ind a. d.
PLACED Ia posiiion. were each 10 feet
long, aud : lnrhc. broad, AMI two ~
these had a. BE- fixed ou each side ~ the
lover boom. II the girler, sni three la
the mhldlc. II I. a striking proof II the
wonderful accuracy With which the de-
.igu ~ the vast .tuirtur' hasbcen worked
out that the two great arms, which
started frum bases nearly 80 feet apaft.
met Ia the middle la the same line aud on
the same level. MoreeNtraor,iinary -till,
the bolt-holc- la the glriers and the cor
responding bolt-hole- Ia the connecting
plates were almost exactly coinrileui,
aud the slight amount ~ deviation that
occurred was due entirely "a the irregular
expansion and contraction ~ the metal.
II WAS found yesterday that the corre-
spending holes on the west side ~ the
bridge were only half an Inch apart, while
those on the east side were an Inch apart.
and the difference was explained by the
fact that the temperature on the side
on which the sun played was nearly two
degree. higher than on the other. ~
the day advanced, the expansion on the
west .ilr continued, but Il Wa thought
advisable 10 all II with the pressure of
n couple of hydraulic JACKIE, which put
on the bOoms strain ~ $50 tons. when
the junction had been etiertci. Mr. Arrol
himself drove home the flrst holt. The
edst shle presented greater difficulty,
owing 10 the lower tcmpraturc. When
the west side had been ioined up, the
relative hole. on the east side were still
an inch apart. Here also the hydraulic
Jacks were brought Into play, but when
a pressure ~ 10 tons had been expended,
the holes were still one-elghih Of fan inch
apart. Tie onier was then given a. warm
the bed-plstc. aud the trough ~ the grid.
90 was filled with waste" over which
naphiha was poured, and the whole *
nite,i. The steady blaze soon did It. work.
Gradually the steel expanded, and when
the b0lt-holes showed a clean passage
the bolts were quickly driven home.-

The IeioI, L,ondon guilds.

The famous London companies or
guilds met In convention to consider the
plan of the city's county council for
dividing up their enormous wealth. The
original purposes Of the guilds, says the
county council, are no longer served,
and their usefulness has passed. The
gross value Of property vested in seventy
four companies is estimated at l5,000,-
900, with q probability of a large in
crease during the next quarter of cen
tury. The available revenue Is taken at
e44O, 200, and the actual expenditures at
e425, 600 OF this revenue, larger than
many German grand duchy, the COM

A clean, small and book laden boy on
his way to school tarried long enough to
tell his little opinion Of the castor oil
trust He was about feet inches
high, and the most noticeable points
about him We're his small black legs, his
bang and the polo cap above IT, He
said' My father winked at mother this
morning at breakfast when he read in
the paper about a castor oil trust that
was going to put up prices, She said
she didn't care, because sulphur and mo-
lasses were just as good for us at this
time of year when there was no danger
of catching cold after it, don't know
what to think, | haven't taken castor
oil since | was quite o little boy, 90
don't remember much about II, except
that sometimes it wouldn't stay down,
think citrate of magnesia is more fun,
So does Speer, don't care much about
the castor oil trust, hu1 | suppose little
boys (this with much dignity will be
glad to know about it If its effect Is to
decrease the visible supply and increase
rates"

fist back and refused to say another
word. Nevertheless there is a trust; IT.
