great building up Of tie country. This
rcw bridge now adds feature which
is the INST remarkable of anything
CT its iLnd in the world and which
is not equaled or Appropriated by any
similar structure. Bicyclists will
throng there to see this great new Won
der
THE raridity with which the work is
being carried on speaks wonders for the
skill of the engineer and the company
in charge Of i Although the cid tow
ers and parts Of the old bridge were
used. it was not until April that the
rev steel arch was sprung. Since then
the work has gone on so fast that it
will surely be completed by the first
of August, and perhaps before.
Already the bicycle companies arc
foresoeing the immense popularity of
the bridge as a bicycle path, and they
are locating their shops all around
each end Of the bridge. They cOntem-
plate charging so much for the use Of
a bicycle for a round trip across the
bridge and back. Another company
will rent a wheel for half hours use
on the bridge. The trolly has observa-
ton and picnic cars.
TO make the bridge more impressive
as a marvel Of nature and engineering
there are some facts that should be
known about it. The cost is not COM
puted yet. but as the old Suspension
Bridge cost $500, GOO. this will cost at
least as twice as much. 1t contains
100000 pounds Of steel plates and col
umns. 100000 pounds Of steel in the
form of pins and bars and $4,000 pounds
Of wrought iron. 1t will hang with its
lowest arch $50 feet above the water

"Now, some men are made golfers

l ever heard Of was Topper, Of this club.
I've seen that man slice the ball SO
that it would fly in a circle; and once

which he had driven it.
But that, as / say, was exceptional
really remarkable piece of luck,

do it again, but he wouldn't take me
up. Topper had no sporting blood.
THE fact that the Scotch have had
so much to do with the game Of golf, ."
continued Mr.. Foozle, accounts I'M
doubtedly for the lack Of humor ant
fun connected with the game. Now
they laid out these links on the hill
back o. me recently on the hill

ditch.
"They called one hole the high hole
one the valley hole and another the
hill hole. The greens committee 40
composed of two Scotchmen and an
American.
Il happen to know, sir. that that
American did everything but 80 on ms
knees to those Scots to get 'em to call
the holes high. low, Jack. Any Amer
can could see that they ought to be
called high, low. Jack; and the nlnth
hoIe-these were the sixth. seventh and
eighth holes-should natuliy be the

But those Scotchmen voted i,im

FINEST STEEL BRIDGE IN THE WORLD

The -s- Of August the Pennsylvania

greater engineering skill was required
TO build it. 1t is formed by a large
steel arch. from which uprights are
built On these uprights the roadbed
is laid. and across this roadbed goes
al the railroad traffic that is carried
on between Canada and the United
States. There is a double track laid
ana cars can pass and repass without
interfering with each other.
The lower platform is much lighter
structure. as it is built only for troll
legs and such pleasure vehicles as car
riagcs. bicycles and stages, large line
of which will traverse the bridge for
the benefit OF pleasure-seekers. There
are strands 115 feet in length thrown
out from each side of the gorge. These
have uprights upon which the platform
or bridge rests.
In locating the abutments on the
New York side It was found that they
could be very we'll built into the Clin-
ton limestone which forms a rock on
this side. But on the Canadian side
there was no such safe foundation and
it was found necessary TO lay a heavy
deposit Of concrete into which the abut-
ments are built
To make the bridge perfectly safe the
abutmelts are situated half way up
the slope. between the top and the wa
ter's edge: and again there is a very
strong anchorage or foundation upon
the top of the blum.
