THE BRIDGE ENGINEERS.

The distinguished engineers appointed
by President Cleveland to decide upon
the span OF the New York and New
Jersey bridge have been in session In
New York for several days and have
been experimenting the important
work Of boring for the foundation OF
the piers.
The success OF the great enterprise
depends in great measure on the de-
cision to be reached by the engineers.
With a practicable span that will not
In the slightest degree interfere with
navigation, the bridge will be promptly
built.
The engineers OF the Commission are
not only distinguished in their profess
sion, but are men of sound sense. They
know the vast Importance OF the bridge
to the future traffic OF the whole con-
tinent. and they are not of a character
to let theories or technicalities stand in
the way of desirable practical results.
Capital waits ready to build the bridge
just as soon as the result OF the de-
liberations OF the engineers Is made
known. The new Rapid Transit Com
mission will, OF course, conform its
plans TO the future OF the bridge so that
there may be proper connections with
all its approaches.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

The report OF the Sanitary Superin-
tendent to President Wilson, OF the
Board OF Health. shows that the
health OF New York Is in very
satisfactory condition. While the popu-
lation of the city has increased probably
sixty-nve thousand since last year, the
deaths this year. during the first six
months, are between two and three
thousand less than during the CORE
spending period OF 1893.
At the same time the tenement-house
population has increased over one hum
dred thousand this year. while there has
been a decrease in the death-rate in
tenements from 23.T per thousand to
22.75. The decrease In infant mortality
under fve years OF age Is also marked
and significant.
No doubt the decreased death-rate Is
due. in a great measure. to the improve
ment in the water supply through the
measures OF publication adopted. and to
the good work of the Board OF Health
among the tenement houses. The
Evening World" may Justly claim that
the decrease In the deaths Of infants Is,
in a very great degree, due TO the excel
lent work Of the faithful doctors OF the
Sick Babies Fund, which this year has
already grown above the ten-thousand-
dollar mark.

NOW FOR THE ATHLETES.

Considerable interest is manifested in
the approaching athletic contest between
the oxford and Yale teams next Mon
day. The attendance will be large and
It will be what the English call swell"
The Prince and Princess OF Wales are
expected to be there. with a number OF
the other Princes of the blood Royal.
Many OF the Royal family OF the
United States will also be present, In
GLIDING Ambassador Bayard and family,
Consul-General Collins, ex-Secretary OF
Legation White. and such money kings
as Astor, Vanderbilt and Gould.
Our Yale boys have been insisting on
a cind,r path for the hurdle-race, but
the Englishmen objected. and so the
point has been yielded. Objections have
been made to some OF the English rules
and regulations OF the contests, but no
doubt everything will be fairly done and
the best men will win. We want a vic
tory to make up for our dlsappointments
in the yachting races.

HOW DIAMONDs ARE FORMED.
baron Liebig Says the sparkler IL
the Result of Decay.

As usual upon disputed points, specula.
ION has been busy about the origin Of
the diamond, and a large number OF
theories, all more or less proba BILE, have
been propounded 10 set the matter at
rest says the Gentleman's Magazine
The two most remarkable osItions
are, perhaps, the explanations put for
ward by NJ. Parrot and Baron Iiebiv.
The form er scientist, who has lahori-
ously Investigated the perplexinC sub.
1ect, Is OF the opinion that the diamond
arses from the operation OF violent
volcanic heat on small particles OF car
hon contained in the rock, or on a
substance composed OF a larger propor-
ton OF carbon and smaller quantity
OF hydrogen. BY this theory as he con-
ceives. We are hest able to account FOR
the cracks and flaws so often noticed In
the gem, and the frequent occurrence OF
Included particles OF black carbonaceous
matter.
Baron Liebig. on the other hand
claims the credit OF offering a simple ex-
PLANTATION OF the probable process which
actually takes place in the formation OF
the diamond. His contention is thai
science can point to no process cana BILE
OF accounting for the origin and pro-
duction of diamonds, except the process
Of decay. II We suppose decay TO pro-
coed in liquid containing carbon and
hydrogen. then a compound with still
more carbon must be formed; and IL the
compound thus formed were Itself 10
undergo further decay, the final result,
says this eminent authority, must be the
separation OF carbon In a crystalline
form.

NARY BREsNAHAN.

A great woman died in the First Ward
OF this city Tuesday night She was
Mary Bresnahsn. At her death she was
lG years Old. older by one or two gem
eratons than some OF the bellies Of the
present day, who will probably be OF much
less value TO the world they imagine
they are adjoining, would care TO be.
She was a great woman, but her glory
will not be printed In books; no perennial
brass will celebrate her memory Test
mony OF her character was given In the
splendid physical and mental condition
she presented up to a few days before
she died, and will continue 10 be furnlshed
In the numerous family she left behind
children, 10 grandchildren 81 great
grandchildren and 10 great-great-grand-
children.
The world grew wonderfully during
Mary Bresnahsn's time, and when the
curtain fell on her memory Il Hooded
with darkness a record OF marvellous
events. But II Is not what the old lady
saw and heard during her long life that
makes her great; II Is the glorious
motherhood achievements that stand to
her credit. 1t may be that some of
those grandchildren. great-grandchildren
or great-great-grandchil will do
something some day that will write
Mary Bresnahan's name on a bright line
among the women whom this Republic
honors.

Very Odd

Funny little housewives are fashioned
out OF a bit of Bingham and flannel 4
round piece of cardboard Is covered with
the Bingham to serve as base, and the
full skirt is pinned closely around this at
the bottom and gathered around the waist
which consists of a small stick-at the
top. An apron of cardboard Is covered
with the Bingham. edged with pins and
fitted Closely over the head, while a Thin
be set on top gives the semblance OF
bell crown. A hchu OF the Bingham II
crossed over the stick shoulders and
across the back is fastened an ivory
crochet hook from either end of which
are suspended tape needles stuck through
and upholding two spools OF white cot
ton. Two small whitfield sticks come out
from under the fchu for arms, and the
whole effect Is ridicuously like peasant
woman carrying her pals Of water slunS

THE OUTLOOK.

The railroad people assert that the
strike Is over; that railroad business is
resumirpy its normal condition. and that
the companies are handling all the bust
ness that is offered them and handling
1t promptly and with no Inconvenience
TO the public" At least so says Chair
man Egan. OF the General Managers
Associa ton, at Chicago.
On the other hand. the labor leaders
Insist that the situation is unchanged
and that the railroads are moving no
freight and very few passenger trains.
2he truth lies between these two state
rlents. The roads are making some
progress in moving trains, and every
thing looks favorable for the mainte-
nance OF law and order But much re-
mains to be done before the railroad
traffic Of the country is fully restored.
The most gratifying events OF yester-
day are the failure OF the general strike
expected in all trades and in all quar-
tiers and the improved outlook in Cali
fornia. The good sense OF the working
men who have no immediate grievances
of their own to correct In recognizing
the folly of going into voluntary idleness
at this time is gratifying sign. The
danger in California of any serious con-
flict seems to be over
