WIRE SUSPENSION BRIDGE.

structure will prove more durable
Rapidly-growing trees planted near the
posts may in few years be used to re-
place them. Where the embanlsments
are low raise the end timbers so that
the foot wires will be in no danger of
injury by fioodwood during freshets.
If short sections of two-inch gaspipe be
used for all the posts and for the end
crosspiece, and once in five years the
wires are painted where they are warped
around the end support, the bridge
will prove good and serviceable for
fifty years.-American Agriculturist.

of a gang of ruffians of Paris, which
has just fallen into the hands of the
police authorities there. Not content
with garroting and robbing all the un-
fortunate people whom they could way
lay at night in deserted streets and
dark corners of the great French me-
tropolis, they also bit off the noses of
their victims, which they carried off
and attached to their caps in imitation
of the red Indian scalpers. Several
persons waylaid in the early hours of

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products 10
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in TIM
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas-
ant to the taste, the refreshing and trply
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevern
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in 50c and 81 bottles, but it is mAn-

SOLID SAIL ROAD.


hlRnB Miles OF DlnculJ engineering
Across Death Valley.
The grading a road of solid salt was
until recently an unexpected task in
engineering and is thus described by
one of its operators: In what is known
as Death valley we found a stretch of
solid salt about eight miles across. In
4 sense it was level There were no
hills or valleys. In another sense there
was scarcely a level square inch on the
whole beds, for the salt crust had
probably through the influence of heat
from above and of the moisture from
below, been torn and twisted and
thrown up in the most jagged peaks,
pyramids and crisscrossed ridges i'm
aginable.
They We're not high-none more than
four feet-but there was not u level
space even for mans foot between
them. Every step made was on rag
ged point or edge of same kind. The
nearest approach to anything like that
! have ever seen was on the ice of Lake
Erie, where two fields had been JAM
med together by the wind and held so
by the frost The ragged ice masses
were somewhat like these salt masses.
They were larger, but they were not
so sharp or in any way SO difficult TO
cross.
Judging that the crust would sustain
the weight of the wagons the work
men swung the sledgehammers day
after day until they had beaten down
these pinnacles into smooth way six
feet wide. 1t was perhaps the most
laborious engineering work ever done
in the country, for the climate and To-
cation, far from civilized habitations,
combined to retard the efforts of the
worhmen. The roadway when COM
pleted led over what may be properly
called naturally formed bridge oi
salt eight miles long-the only bridge
of the kind in the world.
AS one enters the easterly end of this
! road two unmarked graves are seen in
the salt crust near the track. They are
! the graves of unknown men who died
| there from the heat, and after the
| fashion of the country were buried
where they fell They were covered
with pieces of salt broken from the
pinnacles near by, The crust was toe
! hard TO warrant digging into it, One
must travel long time to find tive
more graves like these, if indeed two
more can be found in the world. Age

How to Build Ono of tho Popular Suspen-
sion Variety.
Foot bridges in both mountainous
and nearly level regions, across streams
from ten to one hundred feet in width,
would often be a great convenience
md save going around to cross on some
public bridge. Since wire has become
so plentiful and cheap there is no great
difficulty in having foot bridges across
almost any stream less than one hun
dred feet in width. Posts are set firmly
In the ground from four to ten feet
back from the margin of the stream,
as shown in the illustration, from
sketch by L. D. Shook. Against these
posts is pluced strong piece OF timber
of some durable wood, around which
are firmly secured the ends of the wire
intended for the bridge support A
fifty-foot bridge requires No. s or o
gauge annealed fence placed from six
to eight inches apart, always remem-
bering that the shorter and narrower
the bridge, the less weight in foot
boards it will be obliged to support,
consequently the more durable it will
prove. The wires should not be drawn
too tightly, but should have curve of
about ten inches in ffty-foot bridge
Make the floor of some light, durable
wood one inch thick and four inches in
width. Commence laying at one end,
fastening each end of the board to the
outside wire with staple driven un-
| derneath. Place the boards one inch
| apart.
The posts should be about four feet
in height, over which are strung hand
wires firmly secured to anchor posts as
shown. Short guy wires are placed
every few feet and connected with the
outside foundation wires; these not
only add to the supporting strength OF
! the structure but prevent the bridge
swaying in heavy gales. If heavy
stones are placed near the posts for
