II Is q curious ahdly.hoai interesting
fact that that a Dll for a bridge
across the ST. LawreHl,c river opposite
Quebec. which was made upwards Of
forty years ago. Is quite a. applicable
TO present day IDEAS as the more recent
designs In fact. with some slight
notifications. this plan would work
admirably under our present system
Of bridge building. The difficulties at
tending an undertaking Of this sort
may be imagined when Il Is taken into
consideration that the distance across
the river from elf 10 cliff Is $500 feet.
II was proposed 10 span this distance
by three 200 foot sections. with short
er ones az the shore ends. The irussed
suspension system was 10 be employed
and the bridge was TO have upper and
lower decks. the one Tor wheel and foot
iraiiic and the other for railroad trains.
One OF the greatest points In under
takings OF this sort IA the strength OF
the piers. This was 10 be secured by
foundations built OF solid masonry
started $50 feet below high water mark.
The masonry was 10 be carried up to
the floor level Of the bridge In solid
columns. Five cables were TO be en-
ployed, and on these the remainder OF
the structure was to rest. There is lit
lie trouble with modern appliances In
carrying the foundations Of buildings
down as far a. one chooses: indeed. 4
bridge recently erected In Australia has
piers $50 feet In length. and these were
carried down through mud and sand TO
their solid foundations.

Young Student asks for some infor.

Answer The object Of this waterway
WPs 10 connect the Atlantic and Pa
chic oceans. The waters OF the lake
from which The project takes IL name

traversed was about 10 miles. The
estimated cost Of the enterprise. about

half million dollars. seems very large
sum to expend for such a purpose but
u Is claimed that the saving Of distance
IN transportation will more than make
up Tor H. According TO surveys. the
distance from New York 20 San Fran
cisco by water Is 1862 miles. By the
canal Il viii be $685. miles. This makes
a saving OF over 10000 miles on the
round trip. by the canal the distance
