A UNIQUE MILLIONAIRE.
Difference Between Cecil Rhodes and
Rich Men of America.


"In the genus millionaire Cecil
Rhodes is unique" says Allen San
gree in Ainslee's Magazine. "On the
face of the earth to-day there is prob
ably no other rich man who would
use his private fortune to build
railroad in a savage country or defray
the expenses of a war, not knowing
whether there shall be a reimburse
ment. 1t is sacrifice Of this unusual
sort, in ,an age when money is king,
that commands the admiration of
statesmen and mechanics alike; while
capitalists from very wonderment are
constrained to give aid.
"This explains why, through the
length and breadth of South Africa,
you cannot find man that envies
Rhodes his fortune, since he neither
spends money on himself nor does he
horde it for posterity. IL I had
son he would get no legacy from me-,
says this world-unique millionaire.
4 like to see a young man begin poor
It will bring out the best that is in
him.
|'To a Rockefeller, Gould or Van
derbilt such disinterested use Of mil
lions must seem like insanity. Here
is a. man that husbands his fortune
with one hand and lavishes it with
the other, much as Napoleon kept the
recruiting sergeant busy at one end
of the scale, while he never hesitated
to fling a few thousand men to GER

palmer life than his associates. He
owns no steam yachts or private cars,
and consistently declines all titles and
peerage honors. He shuns society
and prefers knocking about on the

court reception. lie has spent a mil
lion dollars to provide Cape Town
a geological garden and beautiful
park, vet he lives himself for the most

INGENIOUS CANADIAN BRIDGE.
Allows Free Navigation and Requires
No Tender.

Allows Free Navigation ana Requires
No Tender.
A unique feat OF engineering is de-
scribed by an exchange as having
been accomplished in the bridging of
narrow strait connecting Canso har-
bcr and Chedabucto bay, in Nova
Scotia The place is known as the
little and the difficult problem
presented was the construction Of a
bridge that would not obstruct nayi-
gation nor require the expense OF
erecting drawbridge and employing
tle services Of a tender The manner
Of getting around the difficulty is
thus described;
The bridge is built upon stone bal
lasted piers and in the middle of the
central span a clear cut of about IS
inches In width crosses the whole SUI
perstructure. The boats that use the
little" are fishing smacks, with pole
niasts and without shrouds or other
side rigging. Consequently they have
only to be steered so as to bring their
masts in line with the opening in the
bridge, when they readily are poled
and pushed through. The spreaders
at The opening prevent the Tapping
sails catching and tearing. Traffic is
much greater by water than by land.
When the infrequent vehicle wishes
to pass a hinged board across the
width OF the bridge is raised up and
covers the small chasm AS soon as
the wagon has gone over this the
driver is expected to throw back the
hinged board. Railway Age.

THE CAUSE OF THE GRIP.
Very Weird Theory That Has Been
Lately PropoUnded .

OF all the many theories about the
origin and spread of influenza, the
latest is surely the most weird. Some
18 or 20 years ago occurred the loud
est noise ever heard on the earth in
historic times. 1t was the effect of a
violent volcanic disturbance in the
Pacific, which converted the Dutch
island Of Krakatoa into fine dust
floating in the higher atmosphere, and
tits said that every Dutehman swelled
with pride at the thought that his
country was responsible for so dis
tinguished a phenomenon The fine
sunsets produced several years after
wards by the absorbent properties of
the dust were matters Of common OBJ
servation. But the dust, il we are to
believe the new influenza theory, has
far more to answer for. In common
with other kindred varieties, il affects
the breathing surfaces Of sensitive
people and rritates the eyes thoat,
mouth and bronchial tubes, in much
the same way, take it, as the dust Of
various vegetable compounds pro-
duces sneezing, asthma and other in-
convenient affects In that case, no
wonder we find it difficult toprotect
ourselves from the rayages of the dis
ease Apparently we shall have to de-
pend on the efforts Of the yestries to
have the atmosphere properly
cleansed and disinfected. Failing
that, perhaps some genius may be able
to invent an anti-inAuenza muzzle or
respirator, Mr. Long will no doubt
be ready to make the wearing Of it
compulsory, and we may yet see the
unmuzzled portion of the public
chevied about the streets by muzzled
eonstables. London Truth,
