ing the past twenty-four hours at this
point, and is now above the danger line.
At the foot Of Farnam street, where the
big Omaha and Grant smelter is located.
the water is within two inches of the top
of the bank, and any additional rise will
tnf1ict great damage on the smelter prop

river, block or two above, are partially
under water, and the ground is so soft
that it is dangerous to run trains through
the yards.
During the night some twenty families
completely covered. Swift's big ice house

kept employed Strengthening the en-
bankments near by. Reports from up

the rise here Is likely to continue another

eight inches since Saturday morning.
The river was still coming up tonight,
and, as the current is exceedingly strong,
serious damage to property in the low
lands may result. Farmers and others
spent the day movinug their property and
belongings to higher ground. The only
damage that has resulted so far has been
the flooding Of several cellars of business
houses skirting the river.

How Animals Bear Pain.

One Of the most pathetic things il

wondering endurance, and II At night
you hear wild groan from the battle

The cat, stricken with stick or stone,
or caught in some trap from which

some secret place and bears in silence
pain which we could not endure. Sheep
and cattle often meet the thrust Of
the butchers knife without a sound,
and even common poultry endure in
tense agony without complaint.

Ths Workmen on the cables follow
closely after the builders of the iron
roadway. These men are engaged in
more perilous employment, II anything,
than the former, says writer In Go
dey's Magazine. They climb nlmbly
up to the very summit Of the huge tow
ers, and then, without fiinching, pro-
coed to descend the inclined cables. 1t
makes the spectators below tremble
for them, 20 dangerous IL the resent,
but the workmen have no fear, else
they would be untitled for the duty
required of them. After sliding down
the cable dozen feet they stop and
turn around and face the towers. The
men working the derrick slowly swing
out to them the end of cable about
three inches In diameter. Another man
carries out to them by means of
small hand pulley and rope red-hot
band Of steel, which the cable-workers
seize with their pinchers and clasp
around the large cable on which they
are resting. Then while the steel Is
still hot and malleable. the small ca
BILE, with its end secured in a thick bolt
Of steel. is brought into position and
the end welded into the redhot steel
band encircling the main cable.
The workmen pound and forge away,
hammering, twisting and bending tn
metal before 1t cools of. The weldins
must be done rapidly, and the work
men have no time to stop and think of
the dangerous position In which they
are placed. Probably the only sup
port they have comes from their legs,
which they wind tightly around the ca
BILE, as they swing their arms and up
per part Of the body with violent ex-
ertion.
When this cable IL forged into its
place the workmen take a few mo-
ments Of rest and then slide down to
the next joint. where the same opera
ton is repeated. Gable after cable Is
attached in this way, until there is a
regular triangle of steel work and
world like spiders web. But there Is
order to this colossal splderweb such
as never existed In the homes of the
insect that weaves the web In our
homes and woods. Gradually one part
of the bridge after another Is finished,
and when the false work" of scat
folds 10 removed the structure stands
out In all the beauty Of Its finished
state.
The bridge builders must not only
be skilled in their work, but they must
have the hardihood and daring Of the
sailor, for most of their work II per-
formed at an altitude higher than the
topmast Of any sailing vessel. They
labor In all kinds of weather-when the
sun 10 pouring down Its torrid rays in
midsummer, or when the mercury reg
listers zero in winter.
