bored to the proper diameter. are receiving
the attention of the men, There are many
parts of the gun, and they are in various
hands, going through the. transformation
which mechanical skill and the latest i'm

When the gun would be completed Capt.
Benet said was a hard thing to predict.
There are so many details and so many I'M

task that no time can be set for the turn

gun when completed will probably be placed
though its exact location has not yet been

The government has in contempla-
ton the erection Of a memorial bridge
across the Potomac river at Washing
ton to commemorate the patriotism Of
the American people. 1t will be a
structure surprising In beauty any
other of a similar kind in the world.
The designs have already been agreed
upon and contemplate a roadway sixty
feet in width with sidewalks twelve
feet wide on each side. 1t was felt by
practically a majority of both the SEN
ate and the house that the time had
come when the construction of such
bridge as that exemplified by the
successful plans should be commenced.
A resolution favoring the appropria-
ton of 100000 for the beginning OF
work was passed by both houses.
A design has been prepared by
Architect Burr and is presented here
with. AS designed ii is a very ornate
structure, and yet some Of the chief
elements of it's effectiveness are sim
plicity and grandeur. The river spans
Of such unusually long arches possess
an impressiveness as complete struc-
lures which it is essentially impossible
to realize from any plan on paper. It
has been suggested that the plan might
be more ornate In character.
The structure is estimated to have
on it about 81 100000 worth of statu-
airy and carving. Indeed, the great
river arches, with all their impressive

ment need not necessarily be given to
the bridge at the time of its construc-
ton. but could be added from time to
time in the future as historical events
or epochs in the history OF the country
might require. There are many pedes-
tails along the entire course of the
structure which could receive from
time TO time in the future statues OF
patriotic Americans. as was indicated
in the letter Of transmission which ac-
companied the original plans. In con-
nection with this entire matter Of or
nate treatment it should be remem-
bered that the foundation elements Of
the design for the best artistic results
must be simple and harmonious with
the structural elements of design. and
the successful plans are pre-eminent
in this admirable kind OF excellence.
A comprehensive examination of the
entire design shows that the compost
ton of the bridge as a whole and in
its several parts is dictated by the re-
quirements of the problem and that it
is a common sense solution, possessing
the essential qualities of good engin-
eering and architecture
Masonry construction was chosen on
account of it's more monumental and
lasting qualities, and this necessitated

river proper requiring free passage for
the current. as well as for Ice in the

STORY OF A BEAVER.
An Inseresting Anecdoto About q Car
tive Canadian.

An Iserresting Anecdoto About Cap
tive Canadian.
A. ID. Bartlett, son OF the late su-
perintendent of the London Zoo. has
an interesting story of a captive Ca
madam beaver. A large willow tree
In the gardens had blown down. A
branch about twelve feet long and
thirty inches in circumference was
firmly fixed in the ground in the beav-
er's Enclosure. Then the beaver was
watched to see what he would do. The
beaver soon visited the spot, and,
walking around the limb, commenced
to bite off the bark and gnaw the wood
about twelve inches from the ground.
The rapidity of his progress was as
tonishing. He seemed to put his
whole strength into his task, although
he left off every few minutes TO rest
and look upward, as IL to determine
which way the tree would fall. Now
and then he went into his pond, which
was about three feet from the base Of
the tree. Then he would come out
again with renewed energy. and his
powerful teeth would set at work anew
upon the branch. About 4 o'clock. to
the surprise Of those who saw him. he
left his work and came hastily toward
the iron fence. The cause of this sud
den movement was soon apparent. He
had heard in the distance the sound
OF the wheelbarrow. which was brought
daily to his paddock, and from which
he was anxiously expecting his sup
per. The keeper, not wishing to dis
appoint the beaver, although sorry to
see his task interrupted, gave him his
usual allowance OF carrots and bread.
The fellow ate it, and was seen swim
ming about the pool until about $3.50.
Then he returned to his work. In ten
minutes the tree" fell to the ground.
Afterward the beaver cut the log into
three convenient lengths. one of which
ne used in the under part of his house.

expressed, adding very much to the
true artistic quality OF the compost
ton; moreover. the points at which
the thrusts terminate are REINFORCED
by masses Of masonry built up into
monuments which by their weight
add to the stability of the structure.
The eight heroic groups placed
against the archways are emblematic
OF such subjects as patriotism. valor,
concord. etc, and will be groups OF
great size and elaborate compositions,
and are to be executed in stone. The
spandrels of the arches will be fitted
with subjects emblematic 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 ad-
hitting people to the top over the arch
and in the rear of the balustrade.
The whole will form two triumphal
archways, 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 structurally essen
tial members
The memorial and monumental
character of the bridge Is further car
ried out along the whole length OF the
roadway, where bronze statues Of
celebrated men are to be placed on

Historic Indian Battle Spot Disappear-
ing Year After Year.
Nine miles northeast OF Larned
Kan, is a low. disintegrating pile OF
red sandstone, which is all that is
now left of the once imposing Pawnee
rock. This rock. which received its
name from the tribe of Indians known
as the Pawnees. has an interesting his
tory-a history acquired during the
time when this part of the country
was wild and dreary desert. inhabit-
ed only by the Indians and herds OF
roaming buffalo. On this rock have
been waged many bloody conflicts be-
tween the Indians and travellers of the
famous Santa Fee trail. and also be-
tween the different tribes of plains In
dams. surrounded by vast prairies
with the trail running along its base.
1t afforded a good hiding place and
battle ground for the savages. In it's
primitive state Pawnee rock rose to
considerable height. and from its
summit beautiful panorama spread
before the lover of nature. and even
now. from its reduced height. can be
seen for miles widespread landscape.
Comparatively little remains to be
seen of that once imposing promon-
tory of the Kansas desert" for the
hand Of man has done more in twenty
years to effaoe 1t from the earth than
the elements in centuries of time. The
material obtained by the destruction
of this landmark Of the early days. is
used in the construction Of dwellings,,
bridges. etc. by the inhabitants in the
fertile valleys surrounding this spot.
