A NOVEL BRIDGE
It Will Offer No Obstruction to Tall
Masted Ships

This novel engineering work is called
a "Pont Transbordeur." and is de-
signed to fulfill all the purposes of a
bridge, while it will offer no obstruction
to the passage Of ships with towering
masts. On each side of the river will
be erected small Eiffel tower. abou.
40 feet in height, and these towers will
be Joined at the top with lattice work
bridge upon which lines of rails will BE-
laid. On these rails will run a skeleton
platform, which can be pulled from sid
to side by the agency of steam or cleo
tricity. From this platform, which will
be 100 feet above the quays, will depend
steel wire ropes which will support at
the level of the river banks a slung car
riage large enough to accommodate a
tramcar full Of passengers, besides other
vehicles
1t is intended that this novel form of
bridge shall be in connection with the
tram system at both sides of the river,
so that passengers can be carried across
the river without leaving their seats
in the cars. The work Of building the
towers has already been commenced, and
it is expected that the bridge will be
open for traffic in eighteen monthe'
time. 1t is said that the only contriv-
ance bearing any resemblance to this
"Pont Transbordeur" is in operation at

'.REBEL GEORGE" BACK
BUT REFUSES TO TALK ABOUT
HIS CASE
Fears That He Might 1njure His
Chances for Acquittal-Will
Try to Establish an Alibi

Detective Bradish returned from Spo-
kane, Wash, yesterday morning, hav-
ing in charge George Knowlton, alias
Rebel George" who is wanted here on
a charge of swindling I. w. Lord of
North Cucamonga and Geo. Bouren out
of $4,000 by the gold brick trick. He
will be arraigned in court today on
charge of grand larceny.
Knowlton was seen in his cell at the
Jail yesterday. He seemed in the best of
humor and spirits, but absolutely re-
fused to discuss his case. However, re-
plies to certain questions which were
asked would indicate that the line of de-
Tense to be set. up by him will be in the
nature of an alibi.
He occupies one Of the strongest tanks
in the Jail which is shared by two China
men. When called upon by reporter
he said, as the latter was ushered into
his presence
II suppose that you have come to talk
with me about my case, but must tell
you that can say nothing whatever
about it. 1 cannot afford to prejudice
my case at this stage by talking.
Ibid I stop at the Van Mugs when ]
was here a few months ago? Why, l
haven't said that I was here a few
months ago, have I?
Lord? Bouren? oh, yes, remember
now. They are the people whose names
appear on. the complaint, are they not
mo, have not employed any attorney
as yet to look after my interests. You
can't employ attorneys without money,
and I have none"

The Last Medal

The committee appointed by General
c. F. A. Last on rules and regulations to
govern the shoots for the diamond medal
offered by him to the best shot In the
First brigade, consisting of Col Berry.
Major Last. and Lieut.. G. C. Thaxter, of
Redlands, are at work completing ar
engagements for what promises to be the
greatest competition shoot ever held in
Southern California
The drafting Of these rules was left by
the committee to Regimen.al Inspector
of Rife Practice Lieut.. G. c. Tkaxter.
and he has compiled the following. which
will no doubt be adopted by the other
members OF the committee.
THE first contest will take place at the
encampment held at Santa Monica next
month and thereafter at each encamp-
ment and every parade for target prac-
tice for state decorations until the medal
is finally won.
"All contestants shall use the arms is
sued to them by the state.
"Rifiemen shall fire five shots each at
200, 800 and 500-yard ranges.
Those using revolvers shall fire five
shots each at So rs and 100-yard ranges.
Contestants making highest total
score at encampment in August shall be
entitled to wear medal until September
go The highest in September till Octo-
Der 30; highest in October till January
so; highest in January till March 1, 1898.
During the month of February, 1898,
the winners in the contest shall meet
and contest for wearing medal until the
first encampment marksman."
There will probably be about $50 rifle
men and 200 revolver men in this con-
test. The medal is worth $500.

sixty years ago. This II the most i'm
portant generalization of modern biol
ogy known. and has furnished the found
alton upon which the countless discov-
cries Of recent times in this field has been
built The cell in its elementary con-
stituents is made up of two living parts
associated together, the nucleus and the
protoplasm.
All living organisms, whether animal
or plant. are made up Of such elements
associated together in an aggregate. In
the protocol or unicellular animals is
to be found the clue to many of the
complex physiological problems which
are presented in the life Of the multi
cellular forms. In the latter differentia-
ton of structure and specialization OF
function have led to profound modihca-
tions Of the phenomena of life IN the
lower forms. A brief account OF the
structure of the typical cell and OF the
functions of the protoplasm and nue.
leus was followed by discussion of the
experimental methods used to determine
them. So nutrition and growth is found
to be dependent upon the united action
Of the nucleus and protoplasm, while
movement is carried out independently
of the nucleus by the protoplasmic body
alone. In the multiplication Of the cell
the equal division of the nucleus sub
stance appears to be the main end sought
and this leads to the inference that the
nucleus may be the structure which de-
termines the hereditary characteristics.
The deduction which the speaker
sought to impress on his audience was
that the universe is governed by mex
orable law and he who finds out this
truth and uses it will have the fullest
and richest life.

Cross gave an instructive lecture on
