the removal of the State Capitol is, as
they say in the Senate "leather and
prunella." Whether Charleston is the
most desirable point is not the ques-

matter and it is scarcely in the realm
of possibility that change could now
be effected. The time will soon be

each 10A inches in diameter, 900 feet
long and weighing ITO tons; two on
each side strung over four limestone
towers, each Is feet square at the base
and feet square at the top, 80 feet
high in New York state and 80 feet
high in Upper Canada province. The
bridge was S21 feet long from center to
center Of towers and ISL feet wide.
Above there was a single railroad
track; below, teams and people min
gled in passing between the two coun
tries. In 1885 the stone towers were re-
placed by iron ones.
The new bridge had to be built from
either shore, because the suspension
bridge was not able to hold 1t, and the
deep and rushing water forbade false
work. The structure was built below
and around the suspension bridge.
Work was begun in April, 1896, and on
Aug. l everything will be done save the
painting. The solid rock limestone
abutments were reared and COPIED with
granite. Then steel shoes afforded a
foothold for the bents of the arch. The
end spans were assembled on false
work, which was built against each
cliff, and each side required $50, 900
feet of timber, board measure. The end
bents are 1874 feet high. The arch had
to be erected cantilever mode and the
weight became tremendous and pulled
more and more. Steel anchors, like an
inserted ct" were fastened in the solid
rock twenty feet deep and connected
by link to the arch cabin. This link
was diamond-Shaped, and was con-
tracted or expanded by a screw. Each
main rib weighs thirty-two tons and
each panel is thirty feet long and
four feet thick
These enormous and heavy bullzs had
to be safely lowered. The sidewalk
brackets of the new bridge were made
into tracks for travelling derricks,
which reared themselves astride the old
bridge and carried and let down the
great masses of the framework Thus
panel by panel, the arch grew from
each side, until on Sunday, March %,
1897, the last panels were put into po-
sition. Then the weight of travel was
changed more and more to the arch
and the removal of the suspension
bridge began. Brick and plank and
joist, while the new structure grew and
grew. The old cables were taken to
Hamilton and made into nails.
The arch Of the new bridge spans $50
feet and rises ia feet. From the rail-
way to the water is 247 feet. Each end
truss span is lis feet long. The plate
girder approach in New York is 148
feet inches long and in Ontario is
145 feet inches long. The whole
bridge is 1,074 feet long and has cost
about 100000. More than 700, 900 large
steel rivets were used and more than
100000 pounds of steel. United States
and Canada companies built this bridge
and have leased the railway tracks
to the Grand Trunk system. The dou-
BILE railway tracks above are ON O
space 80 feet inches wide. Between
the bents below is a space ii feet high
and 25 feet 6 inches wide, used by a
single trolley track and by teams.
On each outside is a sidewalk six feet
wide.

Special to the Globe.
PARIS, July 1.-THE very latest in
vention, one which is just now at the
height of summer interesting medico-
scientists, is called the bicycle health
meter. 1t is not, as might seem at
first blush the health of the bicycle
that is considered, but rather that of
the rider. One variety of meter is
fastened to the wrist of the cyclisr
just at the point where the physician
feels the pulse. It certainly does Won
derful things from the layman's stand
point.
The second meter, that which is
ton, is not particularly for bicycle
people, but is merely intended to rec
ord the respiration and thus give the
doctor the information which enables
him to tell astonishing things, because
they are truthful about the physical
condition and prospects of the patient.
At this season of the year, it is par
ticularIy desirable to gain the knowl-
edge of these facts because in sum-
mer it is advisable that one should
which is on hand to withstand the in
roads of the summer heat. This ap-
plies to people who ride wheels as we'll
as people who do not. Certainly the
height of summer is when the cyclist
rides the most, and therefore either

4 Bicycle Riders HEALTH.
4 Meter That Calculates Exactly How Much Benefit
Gained by Summer Spin n a Wheel.

Of breathing, how long 1t takes to take
in breath and how long to expel it.
This done, he puts the patient through
course which will bring about ia
tigue. When that is over, he takes the
same note Of the patients condition as
in the first place. Then he reads the
health meter figures, and knows exact
ly what changes occurred in the interim
between the beginning of the exercise
and the conclusion.
He compares the observations at the
first and at the last, and thus by means
OF these and the testimony of the meter,
notes not only the contrasting changes,
but can tell how these changes took
place second by second with absolute
accuracy. The insight into the physical
qualities of an individual by these
means are marvellous and bring the
physician to a point Of understanding
with his patient, which 1t is believed
has never before been achieved. Every
weakness that person may be subject
to, something that perhaps would be
completely hidden from ordinary OBJ
serVation. is by this means rendered
clear and patent.
1t is q fact that is vouched for by
mere than one medical savant that if
this meter idea proves all that is hoped
for, it will decrease the mortality
among people to a wonderful extent.
The doctors will be enabled to foretell
the coming of disease to a person days
before it would otherwise become APP
parent even to them. 1t is a, recognized
pathological fact that the germs of
disease require considerable time to

capacity for long distance riding

work out their own evils. This being
the case, the health meter would at
once note even the infinitesimal change
that the primal operation of the germs
would bring about in ones physical
condition. The method of development
of every germ is known, and there
fore even its slight operations would
reveal the truth to the doctor just as
we'll as the later development.
The doctor further says that mas
much as men are very much inclined
to over exert themselves at various
times and for different reasons, there
should be some method by which it
could be brought to their attention in
a practical manner how seriously they
are 1mpa1r1ng their capital of health
vitality. If this could at once
be brought home to them in a manner
that was clear and convincing, he be-
heVeS that almost any of them would
cheerfully take action to ameliorate
the serious physical trouble with which
their course had threatened them. In
other words, he believes that if man
were properly warned, he would him
sell do that which would sustain his
health instead of leaving unimpaired
the ravages of his carelessness.
Inc facts presented, as stated. are
the result of the bicycle health meter.
DR.. Odiardy has under his care at the
present time a number Of persons, all
bicycle riders, with whom he is expert
mentfng. He has applied the usual
tests to ascertain the physical condi-
ton of each, and then, under exactly
similar circumstances, has depended
solely on the bicycle health meter. he
mas in every instance found the work
OF the tiny machine far preferable to
that resulting from the calculations of
his own brain. Thus he places un-
pounded confidence in the meter and
believes it., as has been stated, to be
medical d s2overy for years.
incidentally it is stated that within
a lew weeks the little machine will be
taken to the United States and the
leading physicians there requested ~
give 1t fair and thorough trial. The
1 Iaaa mas already become fad in Eng
land as we'll as in France. and The
chances are that the time is not far
distant when the wheelmen of the
United States will think it as neces-
sary to have a health meter as q
cyclometer. "s
