The diameter OF wheel Is exactly

they will be ten feet above the ground
and the highest point that they VIII
reach will consequently be 315 feet
above the surface. Between the two
external fellies are suspended GER
tain number Of cars designed to be
used as saloons, parlors. dining sa-
looms, reading-rooms, concert halls,
etc.
The total weight OF the wheel, inclu-
sive of the empty cars and exclusive
of the axis and frames. is 100000
pounds. The axis weighs 79,200 pounds
and the two frames S73.400. The total
weight of this architectural monument
is, therefore, 2,3S2,600 pounds. Each
car is capable of accommodating thir-
ty persons, and the number OF cars Is
forty. Supposing the average weight
of each passenger to be l54 pounds,
the total load upon the foundation Will
be 1,167 tons.
The foundation is Of concrete made
of Portland cement. Two excava-
tions, eighteen feet square and thirty
nine feet deep, were made in the earth
and were filled with mixture OF sand,
pebbles and pure cement without the
addition of any hydraulic lime. Each
of the monoliths thus formed has a
weight of 230 tons. 1t is upon these
beds that rest the two steel frames
that support the wheel. Each OF these
frames consists of four lattice girders
connected by heavy steel cross braces
and diagonal beams. They were
mounted in detached pieces that were
bolted and riveted together.
The axis, which is of first quality
Martin steel, manufactured in Eng
land Is a heavy hollow piece about
fifty inches in length and OF an ex-
ternal diameter Of thirty-six inches.
The shaft reyolves in steel bearings
lined with metal OF peculiar compost
tion-a mixture of lead, tin and vari-
GUS other substances. This alloy Is
designed to prevent the friction CT

which is very high. From each side
OF the axis radiate 1G0 flexible cables

The alhatross is web-footed bro,
nearly allied to gulls and petrals. 1t Is
very large creature, with a rather
long beak. hooked at the point, and
OF a delicate piak color inclining To
yellow. 1t is the largest OF web-foot-
ed birds. measuring at least four feet
In length and from ten to sixteen feet
in spread OF wings. The wings. how
ever, are very narrow In proportion TO
their length. The pluma2e is soft and
abundant. mostly white, but with
black feathers sprinkled here and
there upon the wings and back. This
bird is often seen at a great distance
from land. abounding In southern seas,
chiefly near the Cape o: Good Hope.
1t often approaches quite close to
passing ships. being, OF course. an OBJ
ject OF interest to passengers as well
as crew when 1t is seen sweeping the
surface Of the ocean in pursuit OF
flying fish, which form It's favorite
food. Its mode OF progressing Is very
beautiful, as 1t seems rather to float
in the air than to fly like other birds.
for. except when il is rising from the
water, the motion OF it's long wings
can scarcely be noticed. Indeed. noth-
ing can be more beautiful than the
ease and grace with which the bird
sweeps past ship. often within few
yards of it, every part Of its body
perfectly motionless except the head
and eyes. which turn slowly from side
to side, appearing to take notice OF
everything.

Tho German service contemporary
gives some interesting details on the
marching performances Of the troops
engaged in various celebrated cam
paigns, says the Army and Navy Jour
nal. Thus the highest average Of dis
tances marched by troops during the
campaign OF 1896 is to be credited to
the French, who, on the authority Of
Genera. Lewal, marched daily on ths
average a distance slightly exceeding
fifteen and half miles. In the war
of 1866 the highest average was that
attained by the Prussians, marching
thirteen and half miles, while during
the Frsnco-German war the highest
averages were for the Germans (dur-
ing the march on SEDAN, thirteen
miles, and for the French troops, nine
and half miles In the case OF the
mounted army the record is held by
Murat's cavalry, which marched 497
miles in twenty-t0ur days during the
operations OF 1S0C.
