A Remarkable Bridge.

The new railway connecting direct
ly the great centres of the iron and
steel industries, Remscheld and Solin-
gen, in Rhenish Prussia, is remark
able for the bridge which carries it
across the valley of the Wupper at
Mungsten, and which is the greatest
railway bridge of the continent. The
height of the centre of the bridge over
the surface of the river is over $50
feet, it's length is sos yards, and the
breadth of its central span close upon
1856 yards. The bridge, which reduces
the railway distance between Rems-
cheld and Solinger from A to 10 kilo-
metres, is regarded as triumph OF
German engineering in design and
construction. The Emperor has be-
slowed upon it the name of Kaiser
Wilhelm Bridge in memory of his
grandfather, the great builder OF the
political bridge uniting North and
South Germany.-London Times.

method of leverage upon the opening
