WEST POINT AT CHICAGo.-The
country at large, and the army in
particular, are to be congratulated
upon the removal of the supposed
legal difficulties in the way of the
visit of the West Point cadets to the
Worlds Fair. The entire corps of
cadets will spend ten days of August
in an encampment within the Ex-
position grounds. This is especially
fortunate, because the cadets, who
will be snl,j ct to the same discipline
during their stay at Chicago as il
they were in their usual summer
camp on the Hudson, will themselves
make one of the most interesting
and instructive exhibits at the inter
national show they will be sent
to witness as an important incl
dent in their own education.
Thousands of citizens from the in
terror of the country who probably
will never visit the United States
Military Academy will learn from
personal observance the absurdity of
the statement recently made by n
Texas Congressman that the institu-
tion is conducted for the benefit Of
dudes. The Military Academy at
West Point is the most democratic
institution of it's kind in the world
No distinctions, social, ancestral or
financial, are recognized there, and
the spectacle of these young men
living n life of absolute regularity
and of the strictest mental and phys
ical discipline will convey an in
structive lesson to all who observe
it.-New York Press.

The Pecos Bridge. Texas.

Another great engineering work re-
Gently completed in Texas is a very
high cantilever bridge over the Pecos
River. This bridge, some $50 feet
high, while not the highest in the
world, is one of the highest, and mt
the same time one of the most con-
siderable railroad structures ever
erected. When the engineers locating
that part of the Southern Pacific
Railroad came to the Pecos River,
they wanted TO go directly across
with bridge; but more timid coun-
sells prevailed, and instead of taking
flying leap over n canon more than
300 feet deep, il was decided to make
detour of % miles by way of the
Rio Grande. This was eleven or
twelve years ago. This longerroute,
as the curves were sharp and the
grades steep, was expensive to build
and maintain, and more expensive
to operate. 1t was "A heavy tax on
through freight, and several years
agoi was decided to take the flying
leap Of the Pecos, and thus avoid the
grades and curves and longer haul.
The Phoenix Bridge Company did the
work. The entire length of the bridge
is 21S0 feet from abutment to abut-
ment. There are two cantilevers
each 172A feet long, and one suspend
ed lattice-girder span of 80 feet.
This suspended span is hung between
the two cantilever spans on eight
massive bars, and expansion spaces
of several feet are left at the ends
where it should join the cantilevers.
The intense heat of the summer sun
makes this space for expansion
necessity. In addition to these spans
there are eight lattice spans of Go
feet each, one plate-girder span of A.
feet, Is plate-girder spans OF 80 feet
each, and 16 plate-girder spans Of 20
feet each. The width of the floor of
the completed span is % feet, part of
which is taken up by a walkway on
either side of the single track. The
bridge has sufficient strength to bear
five times the weight made by con-
tinuous train of the heaviest modern
locomotives moving over it. From
the ground at the bottom of the
canon and on the banks of the river
the bridge looks like n slender lattice
work, but is really, as will be seen
from the above statements as to it's
strength, a very solid and stable
structure.-Harper's Weekly.

The arrest in Detroit of DR.. Henry
Meyer and the woman who passes
as his wife brings out n story OF
crime rarely equalled. There is said
to be evidence that the couple en-
gagged in systematic murder for
money. Meyer is credited with the
poisoning of three wives and several
men, and the woman, it is alleged,
has been his helper in many of the
crimes. The first crime was COM
mitted in 1873, and it has been du-
plicated as often as the plans of the
murderers could be matured. With
two other men, it is charged Meyer
also engaged in insurance frauds,
one or another of the trio getting
sick by means of poison, and then
palming off a body obtained by kill
ing some one closely resembling the
alleged sick man. The believers in
total depravity will find in the Meyer
couple good confirmation Of the theo-
ry, if the accusations are sustained.

Professor Olmstead states that his
method of preserving scientific appa-
ratus from rust is one of the best
known. His preparation is made by
the slow melting together of six or
eiobt parts of lard to one of resin,
stirring until cool. This remains
semi-Auid, ready for use, the resin
preventing rancidity, and supplying
nm air-tight film. Rubbed on bright
surface ever so thinly it protects and
preserves the polish effectually, and
It can be wiped off nearly clean, II
ever desired, as from a knife blade; /;
or it may be thinned with coal oil or

Bicycling is not only pleasurable but

regularly it is not only a preventive
but cure of many ills that flesh is

than doctors medicines. 1t will not
set broken leg but it will surely sut
