LONDON'S NEW BIG BRIDGE.
The Hydraulic Principle Adopted to
Admit of Large Vessels Passing.

The great ne :, bridge across the Thames
opposite the Tower of London, is now near
ly finished, says the New York Evening
Post 1t Las been built upon the Bascule
principle, in three spans, with two great
masonry piers rising from the bed Of the
river. At this point the Thames is $40 feet
broad and the depth of water in mid-chan-
mel varies according to the tides, from
thirty feet to thirty-five feet six inches. At
distance of 30 feet from either bank these
great piers-2oI feet in length and 100 feet
feet brcad-are built, rising from founda-
tions twenty seven feet below the river bed,
excavated in caissons through the London
clay. They cost including staging. fl10,1 122.
The masonry is of finely jointed Cornish
granite lined internally with brick-work
Each pier contains a chamber in which
works the heavily weighted balance OF the
lower roadway leaf, each of these two leaves
weighing little short of 1000 tons. When
the two leaves, each 100 feet long, are clos
ed, the lower roadway of the bridge is prac-
ticable for all kinds of traffic, pedestrian
and wheeled; but the space of thirty feet
only between roadway and high water is
insufficient to allow of masted vessels pass
ing. 1t is to allow tall ships to pass that
the drawbridge principle comes into play.
The powerful hydraulic machinery placed
at the Surrey side of the bridge is capable
of raising the 1000 tons of iron and steel
composing this movable roadway in two
minutes, and 1t Is confidently declared that
the opening of me roadway, the passage of
ship and the closing again will take only
five minutes. Wheeled traffic will be de-
layed for that space of time, while the foot
passengers will ascend by staircases or ele-
vators, which will carry thirty persons at
time. to two parallel bridges that cross
the center span at . height of 1So feet above
high-Water mark.

When CORVALLIS made his great raid
into Virginia in 1ISi the legislature fed
from Richmond to Charlottesville. but the
nearer approach of the British caused the
house to bre.k up suddenly and in some

English and Anne rican Wealth.
From Harpers Weekly

The English and the Americans are both
rich. but which are the richer? Perhaps
the statisticians know or can find out bur
1t Is not certain that the statistical answer
would give the Information that one really
wants. and which involves the distribution
Of wealth, as well as Its mere existence
Most Americans have to work, but. as is
well known. considerable proportion Of
English people toll not nor spin, and make
no pretense of doing anything for a living
Is that because the English are richer than
we, or is 1t a matter of taste or a result of
primogeniture? So also 1t appears (from
close study of documents submitted by An
thony Trollope and other con temporaneous
! historians) that British gentlemen in re-
spectacle circumstances employ from five
to fifty servants, and have several houses
apiece. all of which they live in. and travel
much besides. An American who lives in
that way is looked upon as a man of very
exceptional resources. but 1t would seem
that an English gentleman who does not
live in that way is thought to be somewhat
straitened. At this time of year in England
there are 300 or 400 hunt clubs in active
operation. and something like 10000 Brit
ishers ride pretty regularly to hounds. But
hunting is an expensive sport that takes
both time and money. These English seem
to have both to spare, and that although
these present times are not reckoned as
times of special prosperity in Great Britain
So Mr.. Davis description in Harper s
Monthly. of life in London in the season
suggests notable multitude of people with
money to spend and fixed habits of spending
IT freely. returned traveller was speaking
the other day of the shoals of agreeable
English people he met in the Riviera and in
all the play-places of southern Europe
When asked if they were rich people, he
said not, but that they were able to live as
they did because they knew how, and got
their moneys worth. He thought, too that
the well-to-do English had more complete
domestic apparatus ready to hand than
most Of the Americans and could spend
larger proportion of their incomes on travel
and amusement. Houses and furniture and
such expensive vanites they had already
spend useful money in providing them
Regard the English habit of publishing
novels in three bound volumesi Would the
American buy novels in such costly form :?
Are not all the habits of living that we bor-
row from the British from dock-taile
horses to indoor men servants, more costly
than the customs they supersede? They
must have a great deal Of money to spend
those enterprising islanders. No one would
hesitate to say that the Americans are
richer than the Russians or the Italians or
the Germans, or even the thrifty French
but the Briton gives us pause. Is he really
richer than we are, or is he merely an
older son, and a dwelier in land where
servants work for small pay and clothes
are cheap and novels rented out by Nude
and the tax on stimulants is laid for rev.
enue, and not for prevention, and where to
loaf and invite ones soul Is esteemed a.
preferable thing to toll.
