LONDON"S NEW BRIDGE.
1t Is to Take the Place OF tho Famous
Structure Mt Vauxhall.

London, in addition TO that well-nigh con-
snmmated monument Of engineering science
opposite the tower. is to have new steel
bridge, at an estimated cost of e3SO. O00
The existing structure which spans the
Thames at Vauxhall. once so famous for its
royal gardens, is soon to be thing of the
past 1t owes its premature death-it will
be but n years old when demolished-to
the unauspicious circumstances under
which it was created.
When the foundations were completed for
what was at first intended to be a stone
bridge, the builders decided to construct the
remaining portion Of castron, thus consti-
tuting Vauxhall the first METROPOLITAN
bridge built of that metal The masonry

CHINESE DUPES.

From present appearances the Chinese
Six Companies are mainly responsible for
the attempt about to be made to nullify a
law Of the land. 1t is not improbable that
the Six Companies have been advised to
this course by American lawyers, who see
large fees in the proposed legal contest.
The first requirement Of the Six Companies
is that the Chinese shall contribute dollar
each to pay the expenses of fighting the
law. This action on the part OF the Six
Companies may serve to intensity the pur-
pose on the part of the people that the
Chinese shall register or CO. Ii they do not
register they will have to go. We are not
going to permit foreigners TO reside in this
country and to eoDspire to nullify American
law. II China does lot like the methods
by which the American people protect
themselves against immigration, its Gov
eminent has the right to protest. 1t may If
it sees proper make the exclusion act of
1888 a ground for non-intercourse. There
has been no denial that the act of 1880 was
in effect an abrogation, without tie consent
of China, 20 the clause in the Swift treaty
permitting Chinese at the time in this
country to 20 and come at will. The rea-
sons for that act are in the minds of the
American people sufficient If China con-
siders them insufficient its redress lies

through an attempt TO nullify law of Con-

structure would in comparatively short
period become absolutely unsafe.
The projected new bridge is, of course. to
be much wider than its predecessor, which
measures only thirty-six feet between par
apets, compared with the eighty-fve feet Of
the broadcast bridge in Europe, that elegant
metallic framework which unites the Mid
dlasax and Surrey shores at Westminster.

A King Killed by Fright.

One OF the most remarkable instances
In history of death by fright is that of
King Frederick l., of Prussia He was
actually scared to death by his wife He
was one day sleeping in an armchair
when his queen, Louisa, of Meclzlen-
berg, who had been hopelessly insane
for some time, escaped from her keepers
and made her way to his private apart
ments. Al mentioned above. Frederick
was doing when his wife, dressed in a
pure white gown, dashed through the
plate glass in the door and threw her.
self in raging delirium upon him. In
breaking the glass she of course cut
herself most horribly. The king had
not been apprised of the hopelessness of
her case. and was astonished beyond
measure at the appearance Of the WON
m, clad only in linen and covered with
blood. His shricks aroused the whole
palace, but when she had been secured
the king himself was found to be in a
raging deliriun. From this he never re-
covered, but died trying to hide from
terrible phantoms.

and ambition. Mr.. Dillon went into
business for himself at the age of seven,
as water carrier for the laborers on IN
extension of the Mohawk s. Hudson
road at the not exorbitant salary of one
dollar per week. He came of family
whose circumstances necessitated the
practice of thrift and economy, and as
his board and lodging were in addition
to his salary he managed to save the
greater portion of his income, and in
q short time he had enough to purchase
n horse and cart, with which he went
into the carrying business on O much
larger scale. Then he bethought him,
self of taking contracts to carry sand
and water on a larger scale for the cor,
poration which he had previously served
as day laborer.
Having successfully carried out his;
contracts and finding himself the pos.
SCISSOR of u few hundred dollars, he
hired a number of horses and carts and
undertook heavier tasks, oil of which,
by indomitable energy, he completed
to the satisfaction of his employers and
to his own pecuniary benefit.
Forty-eight years ago he determined;
to marry, and on visit to Amherst,i
y
woman, n member of one of the vii
lagos most respected families. To his
wife Mr.. Dillon owed great part of his
success. She did not come to him with
any large dowry, but brought him a
wifc's love and encouragement.

When quite young man Mr.. Dillon

road contracts. 1t can safely be said
that few men in the country have I'M
dertaken larger contracts 1t was he
who built the Fourth avenue improve
mcnt tunnel from the Grand Central
depot to Harlem, New York city. This
enterprise was completed at a cost of
$1,000, 600.
When the Union Pacific railroad was
contemplated, thirty years ago, he gave
the greater part of his time to the per-
sonal superintendent of the work He
went Oh to Omaha and was continually
travelling between that city and Ogden.
At the small village of Promontory,
seventy-five miles west of Ogden, Mr..
Dillon in 1869 assisted in laying the last

he has been permanently connected
with the road. When Horace F. Clark

a PULLING QUESTION.
Docs tho Upper Half of q wheel Travel
Faster Than tho Lower Halfp

CasCcr than tho Lower HRlfY
This question is one which should ap-
parently be easily solved by a scientist.
Yet it is the scientists who are puzzling
themselves about it. Not long ago,
says Chicago Bearings, it was plausibly
claimed that the upright position of tho
wheel was maintained by intuitive bal
nncing by the rider, thus keeping tho
gravity over the base, and that high
wheel, with the riders weight elevated,
was firmer on its base than lower one
lin fact, it has often been proven that
1T is easier to steer the ordinary when
the rider is in coasting position with
legs over the handle bar) than when
the feet are upon the pedals.
The moving base idea, one would
naturally argue, applies to the rolling
wheel in the same manner that it does
: to stick balanced upon the finger, but
this solution does not satisfy q scien-
tific man down in Tennessee who
claims that in centrifugal force the cor
rect answer is to be found. He says,
with reason, that wheel is kept up,
right by the direction of the centrifugal
force. For the purpose of his argument,
a wheel is like ball and rolls forward,
backward OF to the right or left as tho
motive power is directed. The ccntrif-
ugal force created by pressure upon the
pedals increases and is strongest at tho
outer edge of the wheel. If the wheel
were suspended, tho base or center
would be the hub and the forcc would
be equally great all around the rim, but
