CONSTRUCTION OF BRIDGES.
For Below Five or Six Hun
dred Feet Simple End Support
Truss Has Been Used.

From the Scientific American.
The suspension and the cantilever sys-
| tens of bridge construction have hereto
fore been preferred in building the largest
bridges, or rather the bridges Of the long
est single span. For lengths below 500 or
600 feet the simple ~end-supported truss and
the arch have been chosen to span the
rivers or r~avines. but when the proposed
structure has exceeded that length en-
gineers have preferred TO adopt the suspen-
sion or cantilever structure. The popular
ity Of the latter forms is due to the fact
that erection can be carried out without
is not only costly. but in many cases is
prohibited by the natural features of the
Site. OF the four forms of bridge-the truss,
tho arch, If artistically designed, is per
haps the most beautiful: moreover, where
it is possible to erect II by the cantilever
or o:~erhanglng system, 1t is. for the longer
spans, the most economical. This is due
to the fact that 1t is self-contained and
does not, like the other forms, require
shore arms or anchorages to counterbal-
ance the weight or resist the pull of the
central river span. At the time when the
plans for the great / OO-foot cantilevers Of
the Forth bridge were published. Mr.. Max
Am Ende presented an alternative plan for
a bridge with steel arches carrying a sus-
pended moor, and showed that it could be
erected for less cost than the cantilever de-
sign of Mr.. Baker or any other design for
a suspension bridge. A similar comparison
was made by the same engineer when the
plans of the proposed North river bridge
were published, and a similar economy was
shown in favor of the arch design. 1t was
proposed to build out the trussed arches by
overhanging, tying them back by steel ca
bles to temporary anchorages on shore.
Whether or not the calculations of strength.
STABILITY and cost were sound. it is certain
that, once erected, an arch of this magni-
tude would have an imposing appearance
and a beauty which could not be surpassed
by either of the other systems of construc-
ton.
What will be by far the largest steel arch.
or arch of any kind. ever constructed is
now being built across the Niagara gorge
on the site Of the upper suspension bridge.
At this point the cliffs are 1.26S feet apart.
and $40 feet of this opening is to be SPAWNED
by a handsome trussed steel arch. What
a great advantage this has upon previous
construction may be judged from COMPARE
son with the new railroad arch a couple of
miles down the river. which was recently
completed for the Grand Trunk railroad.
This has a spar of $50 feet, and Is only sur
passed by the Louis 1. bridge at Oporto,
Portugal. which measures eco feet in the
clear. The deck of the structure will be
fifty feet wide and will provide room for
two trolley tracks, two driveways and
raised walks for foot passengers. The site
will be advantageous for construction. as
the cliffs on either side will afford good
anchorage for the two halves of the arch
during the time they are being built out to
a connection at the center of the gorge.

A new SCIENCE.
and Where 1t Should He
TuuEht.

From the C~hautauqua.
The oranges and associations of women
in rural districts hould appropriate certain
days for this study upon the occasion of
every county and state fair. The farmers
institutes which are held in nearly all of
our states might profitably set aside a day
for household economics, a day in which
the women of the agricultural districts
might meet for conference. with the adj
vantage of lectures or classes in this sub
ject by those who understand the science.
Clubs for the study of the home and its
keeping may be formed among the girls
who fill our business offices, shops, factor
les and stores. Household work is already
a feature of the training n reformatory
and industrial schools in which women and
girls are detained, but except in rare cases
it is incomplete and unscientitic.
Agricultural colleges should i~naugurate
a department of household science for the
benefit of the women of the state. as has
already been done in Kansas and in Mich
gan. No class of women Is so annoyed by
lack of sanitary conveniences. and none is
so epslaved by the folly of excessive cake
baking and pastry-making as the wives Of
farmers.
If every woman's club in America were
to devote the next two years to the study
of household economics ! believe the do
nestle problem would soon be solved.
Above all. the science of Housekeeping
should be taught in our public schools. II
Is ? truism in education that If we would
accomplish something permanent We must
begin with the children. If household eco
Monies were taught in the public schools 1t
would rise to the dignity of the other
school studies. and false pride would no
longer deter intelligent and refined girls
from entering domestic service. Compe-
tent and intelligent domestics could then
be secured to our homes; but better than
all would be the comfort in store for the
future homes which these girls will some
day enter as mistresseS. On the other
hand. the mothers of the employed classes
would be much more relieved of anxiety
for their daughters when they saw them
enter sheltered and refined homes as do
mestics than is the case at present. when
they enter the unhealthful atmosphere
(both morally and physically of factory
or shop.

ClRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
When the Elevator JoIted 1t Nearly
Got an Innocent Man Into
Trouble.

The elevator was well crowded and also
jumped and jolted at every floor, says the
Chicago News. Under these circumstance
II was small wonder that the young man
in the kersey coat should bump against
the man with the big diamond stud. Els
loss of balance was aggravated by a twist
from the foot of a man leaving the ele-
vator. and he fell heavily against the man
with the stud. Instinctively reaching out
his hand 10 steady himself, his fingers
struck the stud and struck it hard.
As quickly as possible the young man
reclaimed his footing. The man with the
stud had clasped his treasure and was
glaring at him A passenger who had a
cold and cynical bent of mind was looking
al the young man with a shall-I-call-the-
cop sort of air. Another passenger. who
had seen the innocent nature of the whole
affair. was laughing merrily.
The young man in the kersey coat must
have lived seven years in the next five
seconds. His lips were glued, his breath
came in knickerbockers. But the man
will the stud took no aggressive action.
He glared another glare and walked out
of the elevator at the next landing. The
young man fled at the first stair above
and the passengers snorted.
