bridged when the road was built
Recently the load built temporary
track around the place, and began to
fill in the trestle work, as it had given
evidence of weakness. Over 2OOO
loads of gravel have been dumped OFT
the trestle, but no perceptible effect
has been made. The gravel dumped
at night is swallowed up and dlsaP-

officials OF tue road have nearly tired
of trying to fill the trestle work, but
have orders to continue until the new
management OF the road takes control.

A Curious Balance.

Experiments with the hydrometre
as chemical balance have been made
by an English chemist, Mr.. H. J. Phil
lips, and have resulted in a simple in
strument that is useful for certain
purposes. Gilded brass bulbs are
screwed to an aluminium stem, hoated
in water in a glass cylinder, and Kept
upright in the centre of the vessel by
two arms moving on perpendicular
guide rods. A small aluminium pan IS
placed at the top Of the stem. Under
the guiding arms are needle points,
and movable needle is attached tc
one of the guide rols. In weighing
out definite quantity, the weight Is
first placed in the pan. The guide
rod needle is then novel opposite the
needles of the arms, the weight Is re
moved, and the substance to be
weighed is gradually dropped into the
pan until the stem sinks to the point
indicated. The range OF weight that
can be recorded is limited, and with
the delicacy, depends up2n the stem
