Eyes are populsrly considered to be

error, if we are to believe DR.. Nagel, q
recent German experimenter. Many
creatures without eyes can see; at least
they can distinguish perfectly well
between light and darkness, and even be-
tween different degrees Uf light. This is
the lowest degree Of seeing, TO be sure,
but still it is really sight, and differs
scarcely more from the vision ofsOme in
scots that possess eyes, than this does
from our own clear sight.

A New Orleans dispatch gives infor-
nation Of new bridge which is among
the probabilities in the near future. 1t is
to span the Mississippi River at Twelve
Mile Point, between four and Eve miles
above New Orleans.
This bridge is railroad structure,
double tracked, connecting all lines Onthe
east and west banks of the river. twill
be, when the river is at its highest,
elghty-fve feet from the waters surface.
AT the point where water meets the laud
the height of the rail will be 100 feet
above the earth. At each end OF this
great structure the approach will be
$3.50 feet long, the grade being l. 8 per
cent. The length OF the structure be-
tween piers is 2,28O feet. The length
from approach to approach, the points
referred to being those farthest from the
shore, will be 15,400 feet, total length
Of nearly three miles.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
Of the bridge from an engineering stand
point is the great length Of clear center
span required, 1000 feet, This fact must
be considered carefully, because only
when this is the case can the great task
that confronts the engineers be appreci-
ated, owing to the character of the river
bed. The bed of the Mississippi River at
this point, and the ground far on each
side is all aIluvial material upon sand.
The ground over which the approaches
pass is made entirely of river deposits.
Borings to the depth Of over thousand
feet have been made in this city and
nothing encountered except loan, sand,
and shallow layers Of clay.
The bed of the Mississippi few feet
below the surface is Of clean sand. On
either side and beneath the sites Of the
proposed approaches borings have been
made 200 feet deep. Fifty feet below low
water mark clean sand was found which
grew coarser as the depth of the borings
increased. It is upon this sort of bot.
tom that the foundations Of this tremen.
dOus structure must rest. The shore
piers will rest on pneumatic caissons,
sunk 100 feet below low water mark. Each
Of these caissons is 22x62 feet at the base,
10x5O feet over the coping, 1l6 feet in
height, and contains about 1850 cubic
yards Of masonry. The caissons are 31x
61x80 feet high, and each contains 750
feet of timber and 1900 cubic yards Of
concrete. The piers are to be constructed
Of what is called granite face stones and
concrete backing,
A very excellent idea of the immensity
Of the structure can be gained from the
fact that the total height of the river
piers from the bases OF the caissons to
the top of the ornament on the truss
post is 750 feet. The river piers are
rectangular in shape, with projecting star
lings at the ends from the base to high
water mark. These caissons are 30x97
feet over all at the base, feet by 54 feet
under the top coping, l26 feet high, and
each contains $500 cubic yards Of
masonry. These river piers rest upon
timber caissons, 60 feet inches by 126 feet
inches at the base and l4O feet high.
The caissons have open wells for dredg-

found many amusing tales Of the fox,
whose short life usually ends in the glory
Of the chase. Southey tells OF q tame
fox brought up from babyhood to run in
kitchen wheel as turnspit, One day
he ran away, but, unfortunately, 1t was
in hunting season and he was tracked
by the dogs. He led the pack and the
horsemen a chase of thirty miles, taking
them twice through the same stream
after making q long detour, and finally
made his way back with the hounds
after him in full cry, dashed into the
kitchen and into his wheel, where he re-
sumed operations unconcernedly, the
cook keeping of the dogs till the hunts
men came up and learned the kind Of
game they had been chasing.
Hunted foxes often hide in curious
places. One day an English master OF
the hunt returned home after a long aud
exciting chase, the game having suddenly
disappeared near his home. Wet and
cross he went to his room to dress and
discovered a mysterious lumpiness under
the bed cover that he could not account
for. Turning down the spread he found
the fox, which had hidden there. 1t was
finally elected from the house.
Foxes have o habit Of dashing into
some humble cottager's home and Great
ing havoc amid the furniture and dishes
before the dogs enter and finish them on
the spot. Once a fox ran up lean-tC
to cabin roof and dashed down the
chimney, flying into the lsp OF the
horrlfed old woman who sat before the
fire. There are instances Of foxes hiding
in bakers ovens.
Once a farmer had pig which he was
fattening for market. The animal hRd
reached the point OF perfection whore hil

not walk for his weight, and he va

his back and there was fox at his side

fox. The shock was too much for tht
porker, which died Of spoplexy, and the
hunters had to recompense the farmer
Foxes often double cleverly on theil
trails. One fox led the hounds over I
clipped hedge and waited on the other
side till the dogs had passed him, ther
jumped up on the hedge and leisurely
trotted away on top Of it, escaping
detection save by foot passenger, who
Of course, could not stop him. Another
clever fox made straight for river with
rocky bank and on the edge made hi
way down under the rock to very mar
row foothold, where he lay and enjoyed
fine view Of his pursuers, who gave {
fine exhibition Of diving. From the
opposite side the pursuers saw reynarC
trot comfortably off home, safe. AEOthe
fox made for the edge Of q quarry wher'
there was an overhanging tree, in which
he disappeared, but the dogs, unable Il

highly localized and greatly inoreased-so
that man, Tor instance, has a retina very
sensitive to light, and an expanae Of ordl
nary skin which possesses aseusitiveness
to light so slight that it is hardly con-
scious of it, Yet his skin is sensitive in
some degree, as is proved by the fact
that it sunhurns--that ie, light may
cause a disturbance In the pigment Of
the skin just as ii does in that Of theey
In the eye the disturbance is accompanied
by nervous change which sends a
tslegrsphic message along the optic
nerve to the brain. In the skin, too,
there are nerves, and there are messages
also, but their tidings imprint no image
on the mind; they simply express dis
comfort--ory out "sunburn."
But in many eyeless creatures the
lack Of eyes is in part made up by in-
creased sensitiveness Of the whole skin
surface to light. Darwin long ago
noticed, thai earthworms, although they
have no eyes, will suddenly withdraw
into their holes at the approach Of
lighted candle. Some creatures seem
most sensitive to sudden increase Of
light; others to sudden diminution. IL
number of oysters, kept in vessel to-
gether, are found to be open, they will
shut all at once IL dark object comes
between them and the light. Another
bivalve, called psammodia, has long,
whitish, transparent tubes which pro-
trude from the sand in which it lies
buried. II these are suddenly illumi-
mated they contract, and the brighter the
light the greater the contraction. II
number Of them be carried into direct
sunlight they hasten to bury themselves
in the sand; or, il there is no sand, they
move restlessly to and fro in the water
until they are exhausted.
In general, DIR. Nagel finds that creR-
lures which respond to sudden shadows
are those that live in strong shells, while
those affected by o sudden increase Of
light live in sand or mud, from which
they emerge only occasionally. In both
cases the constituencies Of the skin to
changes Of light serves to protect the
animal.
How does the skin acquire this peculiar
sensitiveness? 1t will be best for the non
expert to suspend judgment, since even
the scientists do not agree on this point.
1t may be that it is universal and rudi-
mentsry property OF all skin, and that
animals with eyes have lost IL in greater
or less degree, because they have no
further need for it, That is one view.
Or, it may be that hisproperty has been
developed In eyeless creatures just be-
cause they are eyeless and need it, That
ia another view. Those who favor the lat
ter opinion point to the fact that some Of
the creatures which now have skins Den-
sitiVe to the light are probably descend
ants Of creatures with skins not so
sensitive; in these instances the sem
sitiveness must have been recently
developed. Snails are sensitive, but their
relatives, the slugs, are not; this looks
asifthe former had acquired the faculty.
However this may be, DIR. Nagle's study
Of these curious and out-of-the way facts
is certainly interesting and may lead In

then sunk by dredging to a depth OF
seventy feet below the river bed, These
pockets are rectangular in shape with the
corners cut off, reducing the square
front opposed to the current to fourteen
feet. The piers stand in hundred feet Of
water. Each caisson supporting them con-
tains 4,50O feet OF timber and Is, 300cubic
yards Of concrete. The lower edges of the
caissons are protected from injury by
heavy steel armor or shoes, these being
of sufficient thickness and strength TO
cut through any timber obstruction that
might be encountered in sinking pocket
to the depth named. What is called the
fatigue weight, that rests on this founda-
tion, will be triAe over 600O pounds per
square foot.
The approach spans OF the bridge are
supported upon steel towers Of enor-
nous tensile strength. Each Of these
towers is thirty feet long, and rests on a
circular brick pier with granite caps,
concrete base, and pile foundations.
The remainder consists Of timber trestle,
400 feet on each side, and earth en-
bankment. Each approach has one pin
span $50 feet long; ten pin spans,
each 12O feet in length, and twenty
eight G0-foot plate girder spans.
This makes the total length Of the iron
structure 1864 feet, q length OF this sort
Of which no bridge in the world can
boast. Just how much iron will be used
is not yet known definitely, but it is q
fact that the cost Of the bridge will beso
tremendous that although it's idea has
been in inception for seven years, it is
only now that the Southern Pacific Rail
road, which will build it, has reached a
point where it thinks it advisable to take
steps leading toward definite action.
It seems to the engineering world but
a short time ago that all creation was
talking Of the Eads bridge at st. Louis,
and the hitherto obscure Governmenten
gineer achieved almost in night lasting
fame. The Southern Pacific bridge across
the Mississippi above New Orleans, while
in one way less the work Of genius than
the first mentioned, is really the most
tremendous structure in the way Of q
railroad bridge ever planned. The ia.
nous Long Bridge over the Potomac
River at Washington is a little longer
but can hardly be termed feat OF en-.
gineering. The contemplated structure
has, as stated, a length to shore piers Of
$3.50 feet. The length Of the center span
is 1066 feet s inches, center to center OF
the river piers, and is composed Of 8
suspended span 44O feet long and two
cantilever arms of 313 feet inches each
The anchorage spans are COG feet 8 inches
in length.
The bridge trusses are vertical, paral
lei, and pin connected, 40 feet center tC
center. The distance Of the center tC
center chords ranges from p feet at the
shore ends to 100 feet over the rive
piers. Stiff members are used in the
trusses whenever feasible that is, they
contain stiff bottom chord throughout
stiff diagonaIs in place Of bars, and coun
ters and stiff hangers at secondary pane
points. The trusses are braced with

Larry Getman, of School street,
Providence, was before Alderman Rob-

and working a new kind Of gold brick
game.
Larry's stock in trade was his nat
uralization papers. He got hold Of
an unsophisticated Polander named
Anthony Puravitch and made him be-
lieve that the possession of set of
naturalization papers was next thing
to having a relative in the councils.
He told him, and convinced him, too,
that he could secure work anywhere by
simply presenting the talsmanic pa
pers and on election day he could get
anywhere from Sc up for the vote to
which the papers would entitle him.
When he offered to dispose of this
open sesame to all this power and
wealth for the small sum of $6 Pura-
Witch Jumped at the offer and hurried
home TO tell his friends of his good
fortune.
False pretense was the charge which
Getman was called upon to face. He
admitted his guilt and by reason of his
seeming contrton and his willingness
to pay back the Sc and settle all costs,
the hoodwinked Puravitch withdrew
the prosecution and Getman was al
lowed to go.
