the current each timber was cut
through by the hot wires to a point
where the weight of the structure was
sufficient to break the rest, and the
span they supported tumbled into the
river. This operation was repeated
with each span without hitch or de-
lay of any kind.
An examination after the fall of the
bridge showed how thoroughly the cur
rent had done its work. Each timber
was burned through to the same extent,
namely, five inches deep on the top and
three inches on the sides, the cut being
comparatively clean, the wood not be-
ing charred more than an inch on each
side of the po.nt Of con act with the hot
wire.

and that it is purely imaginary. With
great respect, l subscribe myself yours
truly"
This was signed "Marcellus Haukin-
son."
Hardly had she finished reading this
when another messenger came and left
another letter. 1t read thus:
"My Dear Mrs. Ferguson: l have a
little confession to make. Yesterday,
in a thoughtless moment, l wrote a let
ter purporting to come from some wom-
an and dropped it into your husbands
pocket. For fear you may have seen it
l take occasion to assume the respon-
sibility for the clumsy joke and to apol-
ogize for it. With great respect, yours
sincerely"
The signature was "Oliver Peduncle." J."
Then there came another letter-also
by special messenger. 1t was as fol-
lows:
"My Dear Madam: Iardon me for
addressing you, but l wish to plead
guilty to the preparation of a foolish
joke on your husband yesterday. l
wrote love letter Csigned 'Dollie,' if l
remember rightly and slipped it into
Mr.. Ferguson's coat pocket. Fearing it
may have met your eye l write this to
exonerate your husband and to take
upon myself the entire blame for the
silly performance. Respectfully yours"
1t was signed "A. Spoonamore."
The bewldered woman had hardly
perused this note and laid it on the par
lor table with the others, when fourth
came. 1t was to this effect:
Permit me, my dear Mrs. Ferguson,
to atone for an act of thoughtlessness
committed yesterday. Yielding to a
hasty impulse, wrote a letter to YOUR
husband purporting to come from some
feminine admirer. This placed in one
of the pockets of his coat, unknown to
him. AS 1t may possibly have fallen
into your hands, take the liberty of
assuring you that alone am to blame
for the stupid joke and to express nv
hearty contrition."
The signature to this was "Weslev
Higintop."
About two hours later Mr.. Ferguson
came home. He was whistling. with

ably injure the piers, and to burn it
would likewise crack and injure the
masonry. The thirty days elapsed, and
no plan had been decided upon. An ex-
tension of the time for one week was
granted. At this point a young cleo
trician living in Clinton came to the
fore with scheme to literally cut the
bridge down with hot electric wires,
and this unique plan was finally sue
ceSsfully carried out with the greatest
satisfaction, the operation requiring
but ten hours.
The bridge, which was built in 1858.
consisted of three spans, with a 7O-foot
draw, and, as already mentioned, was
135 feet long. Each of these spans was
composed of nine chords, each consist
Ing of three nine-inch by nine-inch vel

WRECKlNG A BRIDGE.

Novel Use of Electricity Successfully
Tried at Clinton, Ind.
The 735-foot bridge over the Wabash
at Clinton, Ind, was wrecked in Au-
gust by a Hoosier, who employed the
heating power of an electric current to
do the work, without injury to the sub
structure. This exceedingly interest
ing feat is described in the Western
Electrician.
1t appears that the bridge was, up
to that time, the only toll bridge in the
State, and was owned by one man. 1t
had become antiquated, and the county
authorities purchased it with the idea
of erecting steel bridge in its place,
using the same piers and approaches.
Under the terms of the contract, the
owner Of the bridge was to remove the
superstructure inside of thirty days,
without injuring in any way the sus-
tanning piers and masonry. This was
apparently a very easy task, but after
consultation with bridge builders,
house wreckers, riggers, engineers, and,
in fact, every one who had a plan to
suggest, the only practical plan evolved
was to build false work and take the
bridge down piecemeal. To blow the
bridge up with dynamite would prob

The voyage is far on the trackless tide,
The watch is long, and the seas are wide.
The headands blue in the sinking day
Kiss me hand ON the outward way.
The fading gulls, as they dip and veer,
Lift me voice that is good to hear.

timbers was cut through simultaneous
T., the span would drop into the river
without injuring the piers. Current
was secured from nearby generating

the farthest span. Each of the timbers

resistance wire and connections run to
the main circuit. The resistance of
