Their Utility.
Fol centuries suspension bridges have
been built, sometimes Of chains, some
times OF ropes, these latter often
made from tho bark of trees; although
iron suspensions are OF comparatively
recent times. Ono Of tho highest en-
gineering authorities of the United
States thus briefly states that 'tho
economy OF motalin n suspension brid 70,
under the average circumstances OF It's
~attainable depth, is from onc-fourth to
one-half Of that in n tubular or simple
girder-bridge Of equal strength and
rigidity." Tho simple rope bridges In
Peru and In Central Asia arc merely two
ropes hung side by sido across some
space sought to bo spanncd; then u kind
OF platform Is laid on these ropes, and
tho inverted bow or dip Is such that
man or beast may cross. The suspen-

OF two or moro chains. and from these
chains n level platform Is hung by sus.

used to construct these suspension

who is at present in this city. Four months
ago, by secret means he made his vay
through the line of Cossacks which encircle
Irkutsk and travelled on foot, on horseback
or by water to Nirkolasuk, at the mouth of
the Amoor river, and on the coast of the
Northern Pacific. Lazareff's misfortunes
date back to 1874, when the political ont
break in the province of yolga re-
suited in the seizure of 1000 pris-
oners, including himself. They we're given
no trial nor even told Of what they were 40.
oused. He served four years' imprisonment
and was then drafted into the Russian
army before Kars. Later he was again ar
rested and served another years imprison-
ment. Again in 1884 political uprising in
the province where he was practicine Law
caused his arrest, and he was sent to Sibe-
ria for three years. Lazareff says that II

and Is liable to arrest at any time, and NAV
be thrown into Jail without even KNOWING
the charge against him.
On his release from Siberia he again
began the practice of law, and for several
months remained unmolested. In Febru-
AIRY, 1885, however, he was seized on a
charge Of having written political address
during his former term Of imprisonment.

oners, of which he was one. began trip or
foot to Irkutsk, which they did not reach
until the following February, having trav.
eled 30 or 81 versts dav through rain,
snow and dense fog, over the frozen plains
and mountains. Men, women and children
were chained together. The female prisoners
were subject to insults. not only from fell
low convicts. but from their guards. Blows.
soant and poor food and little sleep marked
the whole long journey. At Irkutsk, La
zaref stated the life the prisoners led was
even worse than at the prison of Clita.
Every indignity was offered the prisoners,
and the only thing that kept many Of the
unfortunates alive was the hope of ultimate
escape.
Although the prison and city were sur
rounded by an almost endless chain of SEN
tinels Lazaref and one other finally man
aged to escape one dark night and took
separate roads for freedom, and though
pressed, Lazareff eventually managed to
reach the coast and board British steamer
for Japan. He arrived here September II.
and his sole desire is to meet George Ken
nan and help on the movement to bring the
whole subject of Siberian cruelties before
the car.
