BRIDGING the Bosporus.

Encouraged, no doubt, by the sue
cess Of the bridge across the Forth,
engineers are now considering the
equally great scheme of a bridge
across the Bosporus, thus connecting
Europe and Asia and their present
and future railway systems. The
Turkish newspaper Hakikat gives
Some particulars OF this project
apropos of an offer by French sym
dictate to build a bridge ofSOO meters
in length and 70 meters high between
Roumeli and Anatoli Hissar. The
striking feature of the bridge would
be that it would consist OF one span,
and thus, although of much shorter
length than the Forth bridge, it ia
described as greater work. because
it's single span exceeds in length by
one-half the longest span Of the
Forth bridge. The Anatolian rail-
way, it is thought, will make the con-
struction of such u bridge a necessary
and feasible undertaking before many
years.-St. James Gazette.

Hood to show her appreciation of his
bravery when no once saved her life
at Sykesville. 1t was about seven
years ago. Miss Warfield was going
to Baltimore and had to cross both
tracks to get to the platform. She
was in the middle of the east bound
track and the passenger train was
coming along. Mr.. Hood was in his
office short distance away and saw
the danger. The train was then only
about 1 90 yards away, and she could
not hear It. Mr.. Hood ran and
caught her and carried hor off the
track. The engine came SO close to
her that it touched her dress. It was
q very narrow escape, and Mise
Warficld often expressed her high
appreciation of Mr.. Hoods bravery.

Nobody else ia listening;
But through the dusk Of the twilight gloom

Broken strains Of song nre blown
Over her half.turned shoulder,

Suddenly growing bolder."

The song OF the sweet lips plumber
The question asked. and the swift cnress
And the "yes" that comes from the landing.

How Trees Keep Track of Each Successive
Season of Growth.
1t Is not known to every one that
tree keeps a record within it's stem of
the character of each successive season
since it began its growth. If a peach
tree, for instance, be examined after it
has been cut down, the ring of wood
formed in each year will show by it's
amount whether the summer of that
year was warm or dry, or otherwise IA
vorable or adverse; and by the condition
of the wood the character of the winter
will be denoted. Severe early frost will
leave layer Of soft, decaying wood,
and later 4rosts will be indicated by a
change of color, if nothing more.
If summer has been so dry as to
cause total rest between the growths
of June and September, the annual ring
for that year will be double one, and
sometimes barely distinguishable as one,
but liable to be taken, by not very
close observer, for two different years.

in seventeen pines it was 20 per cent,
