TWO AMERICAN LECTURERS.

3 The two men who best recall, in very
different ways, the popular lecturers of
the last generation are Wendell Phillips
and John B. Cough. The men were to-
tally unlike, and their lectures bore no
resemblance to each other. Cough
was comedian, and he played upon one
string, the evil of strong drink, upon
which he always had the sympathy of
the audience, for he spoke from expert
ence. His power lay in his ability to
tell and act story, comic or pathetic,
and his bursts of eloquence, which were
commonly tawdry and forced, always
brought down the house because they
were charged with his personal enthusi-
asm. He was successful only on one
theme, but he was in earnest in that,
and he gathered about that all the tell
ing illustrations of his reading and his
keen, humorous observations Of life, and
on the platform he was the magnetic
centre of fireworks. He was the nearest
approach to a Puritan theatre. Wendell
Phillips as a lecturer, and apart from
his extraordinary power as a convention
orator on occasions, was quite the most
interesting, the most convincing, the
most polished and delightful platform
speaker thai America has produced. He
owed his success to his wit, TO the most
felictous and incisive vocabulary, to the
most melodous and enhancing voice,
and to his perfect command of himself
and all his resources. He was never
sloveny. He always brought his best
thoughts, most carefully arranged, to
his audience. And he never met an
audience, even one hostile to him and
his opinions, that he could not at length
subdue to his potent influence. Nothing
was left to chance. He would no more
a great artist would have exhibited an
unfinished picture. He respected his
audience, and the audience always felt
this. The sympathy that he gained
from it, even when 1t disagreed with
him, was the more remarkable because
he never, or rarely ever, improvised.
Yet he had such consummate art that
he seemed to be improvising, the golden
words apparently dropped freshly coin
ed from the brilliant mint of his mind.
He was eloquent without single burst
of cheap rhetoric. And of all orators
on the platform he was the most con-
vincing and plausible for the hour. The
writer heard him once ON the nobility
of the North American Indians, and,
while the spell of the speech of Phillips
lasted, he was almost ashamed OF him
self for being white instead of copper
colored. One secret of the power of
Phillips with an audience was that he
was always definite, certain in his state
ments and position; if he had privately
doubts about course or policy, he
meyer exhibited them when on the plat
form. He very well knew that there is
nothing an audience likes so little in a
speaker as indecision and beating about
the bush. There was no haziness in
what he said. His subject stood out be-
fore his hearers as clearly cut as a cameo.

rHElIEe OF non sRIpoEs.

The question of what to do with iron
bridges is becoming more important
every year. 1t Is now about fifty years
since railway building began in earnest,
and now every civilized country is COW
cred with a network of iron tracks.
Of course, says the American Architect,
this has involved the spanning of many
thousands of roads, brooks and ravlnes
with bridges, at first of wood and iron.
The wooden bridges, where they have
not already burned away, or been re-
placed with fireproof material, are, as
rule, still serviceable, If they were
properly designed in the first instance;
but the older iron bridges have fallen
into a state not exactly of decreptitude,
but, we might say, of diminished vital
power, which gives much reason for
anxiety.
The first type of iron bridge for wide
spans was the suspension bridge; and
so many of the early suspension bridges
have failed, through the corrosion or
bers, as to lead the French engineers to
the opinion that forty years is the limit
of life for iron suspension bridges, and
IN calculating railway expenses, pro-
vision should be made for replacing
them entirely at the end of that time.
Whether any similar limit should be set
to the life of iron girder bridges is not
so certain. Many such bridges have
failed through decay, but whether de-
cay in a girder bridge can be easily de-
tected, and the weakened members
economically replaced or repaired, is a
problem not yet solved.
One thing seems TO be agreed upon,
that the tests ordinarily applied to old
bridges suspected of serious corrosion
are far from being adequate. The COM
mon method of testing is to run train
of locomotives on the suspected bridge
But experience shows that bridges thus
tested have failed soon afterward under
moderate strains; and it is now recog
nized that the simple passage of string
of locomotives over bridge shows lit
tie about the strength of the latera
bracing, the floor members, or man!
other essential portions, the failure o
which under a train will destroy
bridge as surely as the bending of
girder under mere vertical strain
No doubt the weakness of these mem
bers can also be detected by appropriat
tests; but a thorough test of an old iro
bridge covered with rust and man
coats of paint, is difficult matter, an
the time is to be anXiously looked 70
when all railway bridges will be Q
masonry, which ought to last man
enturies.-[M f'gs' Gazette.

airy with the Chiffon Paint Co. to use
in their roof paints the same quality of
oil and dryer as used in the Chiffon
Paints. We could never see the reason
for putting good paint on house,
and poor paint on roof or barn.
Any paint bearing the name Chiffon
is made with pure linseed oil and
a turpentine dryer. We wish we knew
what "the old red school house" was
painted with, where we went to school
when a boy. Not Chiffon by any
