I'VE have been having some very

VOLUME "a.
The Winter.

This Winter will long DO remem.
bcrcd in local history as being, in
recpect 10 rain and snow, tho most
severe heretofore known. Tho storm,
which commenced on the Both of No
v.mber, has been almost continuous
10 date. In the beginning the pre-
cpitation was in the form of rain or
melting snow, until the ground was
saturated to depth seldom reached
in Winter by moisture. This was
followed by colder weather and more
SNOW, until the latter, fairly we'll
packed down, now lies upon the
ground in Phoebe an average depth
OF about two feet, with 10 signs OF
decreasing atpresent. Tho southerly
winds, colder than usual, bearing
fr zen moisture, arc followed by chill
~ northerly airs that clear the blue
sky OF tho protecting clouds and
freeze nearly everything that ought to
be liquid. II is very inconvenicnt,
worry uncomfortable, and, to some Of
those following outdoor occupations,
rather dangerous, but tho heavy Win
ter brings with it the promise of
productive Spring. Pioche Record,

Cattle Dying.

Henry Schodde, of Jessie, Cassia
county, Idaho, sends us the following
clipped from the Eagle Rock Reg
lister:
Cattle on the opposite side OF the
river annoy the trains very mach.
They arc Obliged to stop and drive
them OF the track, al they seem utter
ly indifferent to danger, being pinched
nearly to death by cold and hunger.
Many Of these cattle are driven by
thirst to venture on tho river, and
while searching for water on weak
places in the ice, break through and
so down. 1t certainly would bc u
humane net and To the interest OF the
owner for him TO look after and take
some care OF these cattle"

A inst Principle Of bridge nuildine.


If one plank would hold mp 100 pounds on
the center. then the two planks placed
side bv side would hold mp 200 pounds, while.
placing the pianks one ON top of the other,
and mailing them firmly together, they would
hold up 800 pounds. I'm this way we see that
i'm order 20 increase the strength of the brids'
or beam faster than we increase the amount
of material. the increased amount Of material
should 20 into the depth Of the beam AMI NOT
into the width Of 10. This is one Of the first
principles in the resistance Of material, that
tine strength of a beam varies directly as th,
width-that is, if we make the beam twice a.
wide. il will hold twice as much, and that
the strength varies as the square of the depth
that is, If we make it twice as deep, 10 viii
hold up four times as much. IL we make 30
three times as deep il will hold mp nine time
as much OF q load. So that you can readily
understand that, in order 20 increase Oh,
strength Of the bridge or beam without in
creasing the material in the same proportion.
the increased amount of material should be
