fortunate contractor was told that he

to replace the scaffolding and pile driv-

Tho Waves of an Iron Bridge,

A train always exerts greater strain
on an iron bridge when going quickly
than when going slowly, but the differ
encc in the strain depends on the struc-
ture Of the bridge and is much more in
some cases than in others. When the
train goes over the bridge, it causes a
wave to travel along the structure, ow-
ing to the elasticity of the iron.
That part of the bridge inst in front
OF the train is raised little, and the
part under the train is lowered, so that
each part of the bridge is successfully
raised and lowered rs the train goes
over it. and the more quickly the train
travels the more sudden this will be,
and consequently the more violent.
The strain produced will vary with
the square of the velocity of the wave,
so that the train Will exert four times
the strain when it doubles its velocity.
and nine times when it triples its We

WORE THE DIAMOND IN HIS LEG.

A Story of the Way the Orlon Stone Was
Taken From Persia to Russia.
Gus Fox, 4 dealer in diamonds on
Fourth street, has story about the IA
nous Orlof diamond, named after
Count Orloff, the first European who
bought it. Fox says: 1T was originally
the eye of an idol in Trichinopoli. 1t
was stolen, according to the accepted
account by a Frenchman. who escaped
with it TO Persia, where he sold it for
the equivalent i'll cur money of SS, 600
to a Jewish merchant.
The Jewish merchant sold it to an
Armenian named Shafras, who had
travelled in Russia and conceived the
idea Of taking the diamond to that
country and selling it to tho Empress
Catherine for great sum. Shafras paid
him $50, 900 for it.
Having secured the stone, the next
question with Shafras was how to get it
TO Russia, or rather how to conceal it
when he Was searched by robbers, as he
was sare to be on the road. The journey
was a long and perilous one, and thieves
| abounded everywhere. Shafras thought
Of swallowing the stone when he should
be taken by tho robbers, but was Obliged
to give that plan up, as the diamond
was too largo to swallow.
He began to feel he had a white Gle.
plant on his hands when thought oc-
Cured to him. He procured sharp
lance, made cut in the fleshy part of
his left leg and thrust the diamond into
the wound. He sewed up the cut with
4 needle and a silver wire. 1t healed,
leaving the diamond imbedded fast in
the leg, quite out Of sight.
Then he started for Russia. On the
way he was seized by robbers again and
again and was thoroughly searched.
Being an Armenian and suspected of
going to Russia to trade, the thieves
marveled greatly at finding nothing of
value upon his person.
''He arrived i'll Russia ut last, and,
| after extracting his diamond, visited
the empress. He was willing to sell it
| for aboIt $3.50, 600, but the empress had
not SO large an amount in cash for the
purchase, and Shafras preferred to &c
on to Amsterdam, the seat of the dia-
mond cutting industry, where he had
the stone polished.
! Here Count Crloff, an extremely
wealthy Russian, saw the diamond and
was filed with a determination to Sc
cure it for the Russian crown. He did
secure it, but Shafras cxacted from the
Russian government $500. 900, an an.
nuity of $50, 900 ard q title of nobility.
| He died millionaire.

carats and is about the size of pi.
geon's egg. 1t is smaller than the Kohl.

queen. which is supposed to be worth
