1t is claimed that the bridge over the
south branch of the Chicago river is the
only one of it's kind in existence, and it is
certainly radical departure from common
methods the principle upon which ii
works being that of raising or lowering a
window. On either bank rises tower OF
iron lattice work 191 feet high The
bridge, SO feet in span and weighing SOC
tons, extends between them, it's ends fit
ting into grooves. 1t is fitted with coun-
ter weights, cables and pulleys, all OF
which are governed by 20 horsepower
steam engine. When the bridge is to be
opened, the engineer throws off the balance,
and the bridge rises smoothly and horizon
tally in it's grooves, halting at a height OF
i55 feet. 1t is probable that so ingenious
structure is by no means the last of its
kind, as its advantages in certain situa-
tions are self evident.-Chicago Tribune.

An Insane NAVIGATOR.

A gigantic negro, named Thompson,
was taken to the insane asylum at Au-
gusta. last week, from South West Har-
Dor. Thompson's case is peculiar. For
some years he has lived hermit life on
Little Duck Island. among the woods
and rocks of the place. getting in the
most unfrequented places he could tind.
He used to travel between all the sur
rounding islands for miles about on
wooden RATS, but had Little DuckIsiand
for his regular stopping place.
At first he appeared harmless, but late
ly he has been considered dangerous, and
it was recently decided by the authori-
ties to send him to the insane HhospitaI
at Augusta The officers thereupon start
ed out to find him, and one day lately he
was picked up on a raft made of two
logs, about Is miles at sea, nearly oppo-
site Mount Desert Rock. When found
he said he was on voyage to South
America. and the only way he could be
prevailed upon to leave the raft, on
which he had begun the voyage, was
with the promise of a fine large ship
in which to make the trip. At ELS
worth, Thompson showed his great
strength by breaking his shackles. He
made dash for liberty. but was soon
overtaken and recaptured.

well known fact that great many crit
les are obliged to leave a theater on the
first night of production before the end OF
the play, and the dramatist must see that
his climax occurs before this general exc

half a dozen papers the next morning that

self in common with others of my craft,
and for that reason, when write four

afford to let the fourth act take care of it

mean a lessening in dramatic interest, is
fatal to any piece, but the public nova

The Mission of Song.

AS an author of songs, l thoroughly I'M
derstand, and sincerely believe, it to b. the
purpose of vocal music to charm. elevate
and ennoble our spiritual nature. The
world would be dreary, indeed, without
Emusic married to immortal verse; but to
answer the lofty conception of Milton, the
words themselves must be worthy the music
composed for them. A low word, meaning
less, or an unmuscal one is vile weed amid
the beautiful flowers in the glorious garden
of melody. The thoughts--the soul comes to
be like what it feeds upon. A vulgar, trashy
song is not alone out OF all harmony with
refined feeling and sweet expression, but it
is degrading to the very better element of our
natures. Written without taste, devoid of
cadence, the crude products of an ill-train-
ed, uncultured brain, to take them into
homes of refinement is like tolerating some
noxious animal in "a dainti!y furnished bou-
doir. But there is growing demand for
better songs-for words that will lend to
music sweeter charm, and lift the spirit
above the monotony of commonplace senti-
ments. For him who has the Unborn gift to
create without that faculty learning is fu-
t1le) the taste to discriminate, to always
select the best word, sand the intuition to
write to the hearts of the people-for him
lngerssa magnificent reward-notsin ill-earn
ed wealth, but the untold pleasure in the
consciousness of having dared nobly and
executed well; of having written songs
which may be the solace and delight of
manyssthousands-fitte to choose the beau
tiful from the worthless, and of knowing
his song will be sung after he has dropped
the pen and has been laid in earth

Modern PLAYS.
CoInpanio

tWhy is it that in so many of the plays
written nowadays all the reaIy interesting
portions are found in the earlier acts, while
in the last act there is hardly anything de-
veloped that was not previously known to
those who had watched the progress of the
piece?' This question, put rather abrupt
ly to well known dramatist, elected the
following reply: Simply because man
who writes a play is thinking of the dra-
matte critics, just as man who writes
story Is thinking of the margarine editors
