one Capt and one a Lieut.. Col
We expected to see wild looking
black savages, we were fooled, for
when the Maj. came up he was a
big fine looking mulatto and he said
"Good morning in as good English
as we use. But that was all the
English he knew They had ON
fine uniforms and fine pistols and

officers here to talk the matter over
with Col. Hardin and Mai. Case.
They stayed all day and in the after
noon was detailed with my squad
to escort them back home which l
did and we think some terms were
agreed upon as the next morning

careful estimates Of cost based upon the
use Of all concrete masonary supports Of
the roadway floor, and 1t is found that
either the steel columns originally shown on
the working drawings or concrete masonry
supports may be used without change Of
cost. If there is any difference in the costs
of the two sets of details the result would
probably be slightly In favor of the con-
crete masonry. Had there been sufficient
time to elaborate more than one set Of de-
tails for a structure of this magnitude dur
ing the period allowed for competition both
these alternative sets of details with their
costs would have been submitted.
What the Design Shows.
A comprehensive examination of the en-
tire design shows that the composition of
the bridge as a whole and in it's several
parts is dictated by the requirements of the
problem, and that 1t Is a common-sense
solution, possessing the essential qualities
of good engineering and architecture.
Masonry construction was chosen on ac-
count OF Its more monumental and lasting
qualities, and this necessitated the arch
motive. The portion over the river proper
requiring free passage for the current, as
well as for ice in the winter, is Of compare
lively open construction, consisting Of
graceful segmental arches of long span
The approaches are Of smaller and semi
circular arches the very costly construction

Why America Should he Great.
Prof f. H. Jones i'm Ieslie'a Weeklv

The present area of the United States,
including Alaska and our three new island
colonies, is 3,S4G, 40 square miles. So large
a portion of the worlds surface cannot be
accurately conceived without the use of
comparisons. The extent of our country Is
nineteen times that of European France, or
thirty-two times that of Great Britain. 1t
is five-sixths as large as the European con-
tinent, and # Alaska and Washington be
subtracted from the American figures It
will match Australia. Were there fifteen
other nations as large, the entire land sur
face of the word would be occupied
If the country of Scotland We're shaped
to match the state of Maine, the areas of
the two regions would be found to be prac-
tically the same. Ireland is equal in size
to the remaining states of New England
England equals New York. and Wales New
Jersey. The British islands may therefore
be superlmposed upon q small but impor-
tant section of states lying in the northeast
ern portion of the United States. The coun-
try Of Switzerland is equaled in area by the
states Of Maryland and Delaware The
AUstro-Hungarian empire may be spread
over the Atlantic states south of the Poto-
mac river. If France were placed about
the lower course of the Mississippi river in
region where there Is at the present time a
considerable BODY of descendants of early
French settlers 1t would cover the states
Of Louisiana, Arkansas Mississippi and
Alabama. The German empire CEuropean)
may be grouped around Lake Michigan,
covering Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and
Wisconsin. Norway equals New Mexico:
Italy Arizona; Spain, the states of Nevada
and Utah; while Sweden is equal to Wyo-
ming and South Dakota.
If the United States were superimposed
upon the European continent in such a
manner that Cape Cod would lie upon the
Siberian frontier of Russia, the state of
Oregon would be superimposed upon Ire
land. Denmark would be covered by the
southeastern portion of Montana. Austria
would lie under the states of Kansas and
Missouri, while Hungary would lie under
Indian territory. Italy would appear oc-
cupying the central part Of New Mexico
and extending through southwestern Texas.

miles of the Gulf Of Mexico In such an ar

across Asia Minor into Palestine, while the
northern border of the United States would
cut the Scandinavian peninsula.

ing very much to the true artistic quality
of the composition moreover, the points at
which the thrusts terminate are reinforced
by masses of masonry built up into monu-
ments. which by their weight add to the
stability of the structure.
Treatment of Masses.
The masses required at the land abut-
ments being much less in volume are formed
into groups of columns. carrying entab-
lature and ornamented with emblematic
sculpture in stone and bronze. The masses
at the central span or bascule are formed
into pierced towers arches. transverse to
the bridge, which admit of very monu-
mental treatment, and on account of their
size and height constitute the most i'm
pressive feature of the bridge. They are
therefore seized upon as most suitable for
expressing its memorial character.
The eight heroic groups placed against
these archwayS are emblematic of such
subjects as Patriotism, Valor, Concord, ETC.,
and Will be groups Of great size and elab-
crate compositions, and are to be executed
In stone. The spandrels of the arches will
be fitted with subjects embematic Of the
army and navy, ETC. On the sides of the
towers will be shields and plaques in
scribed with names of battles, and the
whole will be crowned with bronze victories
heroic in size. The towers will contain
stairways or elevators admitting people to
the top over the arch and in the rear of
the balustrade.
Irlumph0l AfchWays.
The whole will form two triumphal arch
ways, deliberately ornamented and rich in
detail, although in perfect harmony with
the severity of the great bridge structure
of which they are but one Of the struc-
turally essential members.
The memorial and monumental character
or the bridge is further carried out along
the whole length of the roadway, where
bronze statues of celebrated men are to be
placed on either side and these together
with very elaborate electric light supports
will hem in the approach to Arlington with
the most artistic surroundings. The sculp-
ture and ornament upon the structure has
been placed where the artistic require
ments call for it, and without regard to ex-
pense. The character of the structure has
been always kept in mind, and vulgar over
ornamentation avoided as being worse than
useless. 9
The entire structure as designed, includ-
ing the embankment approaches and the
granite arch masonry portions has length
OF little over one mile, and would form a
much-needed line of communications between
the National cemetery at Arlington, the adj
Joining country and the city of Washing

of American patriotism than this suitably
embellishej great bridge structure between
the capital of the nation and the city Of its
heroic dead. =. 1f'Hs

Whom the Gods Love.
Julia G. r. Dorr in Scribner's Magazine.


Whom the gods love die young?'-Nay rather say
With bated breath-"Whom the gods love die
Shall the morn pale ere 1t hath coined its gold?
The sun go down while yet 1t Is full day?
The statue a:rep unmolded in the clay?
The parchment crumble ere 1t is unrolled?
The story end with half the tale untold?
The song drop mute and breathless by the way?
Oh weep for AdOnais when he dies
With all youths lofty promise unfulflled
Its splendor lost in sudden, drear eclipse!
With love uDlived, and dreams half dreamed he
lies
All the red wine from life's gold chalice SMILED.
Ere Its bright brim hath touched his eager Inns !!

Let the old sing thy praises, for they know
How year by year the summers come and Co.
Each with its own Astounding sweetness rife
They know though frosts be cruel as the knife
Yet with each June the perfect rose shall blow
And daisies blossom and the green grass grow
Triumphant STILL unvexed by storm or strife
They know that night more splendid is than day:
That sunset skies flame in the gathering dark
And the deep waters change to molten gold:
They know that autumn richer is than May
They hear the night-birds singing like the lark
All. life. sweet life, whom the gods love die old |!
