IS not the slightest ground for the tale.
1t is not improbable that individ:lals
of German birth are doing the things
charged. just as individual Americans
did similar service for the Cubans in
1S9596-97. The United States govern

may be given to Aguinaldo and his
forces. The official attitude of Ger

negotiations concerning the Samoan

shown in the settlement of the
Samoan imbroglio a policy of friend

Great Britain. These three are the

Will it be warm or cold winter?
That is what we all want to know and
what the wiseacres are trying to tell
us. The trouble is. they do not ali
agree. Our storms. thus far, have
cleared off warm. and we all know the
comfortable season that sign indicates.

dry autumn brings in always a windy

other that if the late autumn is I'M
usually bright it will be followed later
by a cold spring. But don't let us lose
the delights of these days by worrying
over any of these foreign predictions.

rains till late in the spring. Now all
we wait to hear from is the goose bone.

TWO FAMOUS BRIDGES.
After Centuries of Wear They Are Being
Torn Down.

Two of the Oldest bridges in Europe
are disappearing under the demand for
better navigation facilities. One is the
celebrated Vauxhall bridge, of London.
At present no one knows the exact ma
ture of the foundations on which the
piers rest, although the piers extend
only to four or five feet beneath the
surface of the water. If the piers were
built-as some suppose-on a grid of
logs the work of clearing the bed of
the river will be comparatively simple,
but if the foundations were ptles-rhat
is, logs driven down into the bed Of
the river-the work involved will be
considerably greater. Each pier is ID
feet wide ana As feet long. Owing to the
difficult nature of the work, not more
than seven men can be employed at
once on the work of demolishing a pier.
If the men were to work continuously
at this one task the removal of the
eight piers could be effected in three
or four months. 1t has been found,
however, that more labor-saving way
of working is to carry on the building
of the new bridge at the same time
that the old piers are being removed.
The dputments of the new bridge are
now in progress.
{ The aerial galloway across the river
has been the means of saving a good
deal of labor. 1t works without the
slightest hitch, and four tons of mater
ial can be conveyed by it at one time.
1t is now shifting from three to four
hundred tons day
The new bridge will be about five
years in building, and when complete
it is to be the finest bridge across the
Thames. 1t will be of concrete.
The old bridge was built in 1SO9-14,
and consisted of nine arch spans of so
feet each, with ten cast-iron ribs in
each arch, each rib weighing about Is
tons. The roadway was laid on cast
plates, supported on castiron posts
resting on the ribs.
The other structure suffering the
same fate is the stone bridge with Is
arches and a total length of 994 feet,
built across the Danube at Ratisbon
by Duke Henry the superb, in 1856.
The piers rest on piles protected by
stone riprap and heavy ice-breakers;
the roadway Is very narrow and the
footways allow the passage of only one
person at time. Hans Sachs, the po-
et-shoemaker of Nuremberg, sang its
praises as one of the wonders of the
builders art and the strongest bridge
in Germany. SO far as it's stability is
concerned. 1t would probably stand for
another $50 years-but 1t interferes with
the passage of amboats.-Philadel
