Endurance of Horses.
the London Skafch


The "Vedette," the regimental journal of
the 21st Lancers. gives an interesting ac-
count of a march carried out between Cairo
and the Bitter lakes and back-205 miles
in five days. This was done to test the
relative merits of the three classes of
horses In use In the regiment, namely,
Arabs, Walers drought from India by the
7th Dragon Guards) and Hungarian re.
mounts lately supplied to the regiment The
Arabs were six to ten years old, the Walers
fourteen years and upward, and the Hun
garians four and FIVE years old, rather
young for such q trial."
The verdict was that, even allowing for
age. the Hungarian horses were decidedly
inferior in breeding and stamina; and the
Walers, though in a more temperate cli-
mate they might be superior to the Arabs,
under the prevailing conditions of service
In Egypt, with short rations and penty of
sand, long periods without water, and the
temperature 130 degrees In the shade were
decidedly inferior to the Arab, which, in a
desert march, showed itself well able to
carry the British soldier, with his impede
menta. AS the weight carried was an aver
age OF nearly sixteen stone, the marches
were decidedly good. namely. thirty-five
fifty, thirty, fifty-eight and thirty-two miles
per day. One Arab, three Walers and eley-
en- Hungarians were laid up in the sick
lines" after the trial.

STRANGE ARCHITECTURE.

A Building That is Beins Built ON

From the Lendon Mall
A remarkable building is now in progress
OF erection on plot Iof ground on Carr's
lane. Birmingham, which for a quarter Of
a century has remained =n1occupied.
Three feet beneath thea surface of the
ground there runs tunnel of the Great
Western railway. and astthe tunnel could
Tot with safety bear more weight than 1t
now does all plans for, building on the
ground have been condemned by the city
surveyor and the railway engineer in con-
sultation.
BY an ingenious device, however, an ar
ehitcct has now prepared plans whereby n
three-story building is to be erected on the
site.
Twenty-Five feet of building will have to
project over the tunnel, and as no weight
Is to rest On the tunnel, this has to be
erected on huge cantilevers. These canti-
levers, six in number, run to a depth of
SIX rect, and are estimated to carry weights
varying from 100 to 400 TONS The A canti-
isser supr orts the greatest weight, esti-
port strain of S75 tons, The AL canti-
lever vii! support 375 tons of the building
Wnlle only nineteen feet Of 1t under the

10 add to the safety, from this hangs a
mass OF concrete, sixteen feet across by
nlteen 1eet high, and weighing 100 tons.
suspended by steel bars twenty-five feet
long.
Jne whole thing resembles the weighing
OF carcass on butchers steelyard. The
cantllever acts as the steeiyard, the ware
houses and the shops are supported at the
long ends and the great weight of concrete
nangs from the short one, acting as a
counterpoise, while the cantilever rests
