Trades and Particularly to the TRACE

The extraordinary increase OF value
IN iron or steel when worked up into
hair-springs in watches is without par
alIel. Fifteen thousand hair-springs
can be made out of one pound OF steel.
or, taking the value OF one hair-spring
as three times that of one pound weight
of steel, the crude material is by this
process made $4,000 times more valu-
able than before.
Carnegie Ia said to be making steel
freight cars with a capacity Of $4,000
pounds. This is crowding the limit of
rolling weights. and while 1t Is unques-
tionably true that modern bridges and
roadbeds will stand up under heavier
engines than this. 1t Is probable that
superintendents will put on their
thinking caps and shake their heads
gravely over proposition that in

tons in each car plus the weight OF the

The United States is undoubtedly
ahead Of England and France in the de-
signing Of engines and dynamos. En-
gines were found running over In that
country with what we would consider
practically no governor, that Is, with
slow-acting throttle governors. The
steam turbines, both Of the Parsons
and De Laval make, are simplicity and
efficiency. The Parsons machines run
at high speed in some English stations
without vibration and were not even
bolted down. The steam turbine, 1t Is
now thought, is likely to become an
important factor in the electrical field.

to express an opinion on this subject

the Grangers were sold by the traders
and prices ran of Y to ~ per cent.
This was followed by a period Of al
most absolute stagnation, which was

former on this buying rose III. and the
latter 1h. The other prominent issues

BLESSINGS OF SOUND SLEEP.
Hiuts for Mothers In the Care Of Little
Ones.

Ht0t0 Tor Mothers IN the Care OF Littse
Ones.
Sleep Is regarded as the time when
only good arrives to the sleeper. and In
case Of adults this In so; with children.
however. the matter Is different. The
actual fact Of sleep Is good. but the
manner OF sleep Is not always SO. by
any means. for during these periods OF
repose q child may contract a habit OF
position which will cause lasting de-
formity. In the first place, children are
often put to sleep always on the same
side. The mother finds them less rest
less SO, and thoughtlessly lays them
that way. Some times this restlessness
Is caused by physical defects; but 1t
mainly arises from habit. No creature
on earth Is more liable to habits than
tiny, soft baby that you wouldn't
think could possess any distinct quail
ity. A mother for some reason peculiar
to herself, finds 1t most convenient to
place the little one on its left side, We
will say, for about three days; when the
fourth day arrives master baby decides
there Is something wrong II he be put
on his right side, and forthwith begins
to squirm and twist until he fidgets
himself awake. Mamma places him on
the other side and he serenely settles
himself
Constantly lying on one side will
make difference in the size of the
limbs upon that side. and will even
cause that side Of the face to remain
smaller than the other. Children will
also draw up one leg in their sleep.
This. too. becomes fixed habit, and by
the time the child has learned to walk
difference in the length Of the two
lower limbs will be noticed, a misfor-
tune which might have been avoided
had the mother been careful to watch
the habits of the sleeping baby. In the
bringing up of children 1t Is not so
much the care over larger things that
counts, but the constant watchfulness
against the little foxes that destroy
the vines"

The very latest official computation
puts the total cost of the Brooklyn
bridge at $17,4S9,S55. The bridge, when
contracted for was to cost $40. 500. 600.
At least, such was the original estimate
OF John A Roebling. who, in 1867, put
the cost Of the bridge at $1,000. 900 and of
the approaches to 1t $500, 900. Actual
ly, the bridge cost $4,000, 900, which
was not much Of an increase over the
original figures when the difficulties
of the undertaking came Into account,
the bridge not being opened until six
teen years after the original estimate
was made. Subsequent expenditures,
which have brought the total cost up to
the present figure, are due to the ac-
QUESTION Of new approaches and to i'm
provements upon the structure which
were not and could not have been cal
twelve years ago.
The Brooklyn bridge is the most ex-
pensive work Of the kind in the world.
exceeding in cost any other bridge Of
which authentic figures are available.
The bridge over the Forth, In Scotland,
cost $4,000. .OOO the Victoria bridge In
Canada cost $12.OOO,0O0. the bridge
across the Volga at Saratov. in Russia.
cost $4,000. 900. The cost Of London
bridge was $1O.OOO,O00. OF Waterloo
bridge $5.5OO.OOO. and " the Westmin-
ster bridge s.. 100000
With the enormous increase of via
duct work for railroad purposes in the
United States. the profession Of bridge
builder" has become very important
one, steel and iron work having largely
superseded masonry, since by improved
processes in their manufacture. struc-
tural iron and steel have materially de-
creased in cost.
