THE LONGEST BRIDGE.

One Recently Opened for Railroad
Traffic Which Beats the Record.
The longest railroad bridge in Eu-
rope, and, in fact, of the world, was
recently opened to traffic with great
ceremony.
The new railroad bridge over the
Danube river at Czernavoda is one Of
the most important technical achieve
ments Of recent date. For more than
nine miles this bridge crosses the
Danube proper and the so-called ter
ritory Of inundation, which is annual
ly under water for a certain period of
time.
The largest spans are over the main
current Of the river, there being one
Of $40 feet and four of 455 feet each.
The total length Of the bridge proper,
without approaches, is 1925 feet,
while the other largest railroad
bridges in the world measure as fol-
lows; Tay bridge, Scotland, 1925
feet; Mississippi bridge, 10000 feet,
and the Forth bridge, Scotland, 1900.
The clear height of the bridge over
the main channel is so calculated that
even at high water the largest vessels
sailing on the Danube may pass un-

The old Dutch inhabitants of Man

until the influence of the English be-
gan to predominant that anything
like beginning was made in this di-
rection. The arrival of Gilbert Stuart
from Europe and his settlement in
New York in 1898 instituted an epoch
in the progress of the fine arts. Many
of his portraits painted during his
short residence in the city are Of spe-
cial value. Agitation began in 1896
for some kind of an organization to
promote interest and progress in
painting and sculpture, and five years
later the New York academy Of fine
arts was organized.
