Noturc's Own Bridges.

The most remarkable natural bridge
in the world, says Golden Days, is
the JisfcI Hajar, which opens gorge
not far from the ruins OF the temple oi
Adonis. in the province of Lebanon, In
Sria t fiat T. piesse passs Of %sstSns aitsN
perfectly archcd on the under side.
The gorge is about one hundred and
fl .ty feet across, and the bridge is
about one hundred feet from the bed
of the torrent below. The bridge is
so broad and level that n good carriage
road might be made over it.
This bridge is surpassed in height
by the natural bridge in Rockbridge
County, Virginia, about one hundred
and twenty-five miles west of Rich
mond, and about two miles from the
James River. 1t extends over Cedar
creek. The height of the arch is two
hundred feet, and the upper surface Of
thr bridge is two hundred and forty
! feet above the stream.
