bridge would be another stone struc-
ture
When the piers were finished the

the construction of the great towers.

respects. The towers will each con-
tain about 100000 pounds of metal.
and from these monster uprights, 1876
feet high, the cables supporting the
bridge will be hung. These cables will
support only the main span, 1876 feet
above the water; the approaches will be
steel viaducts, extending on the New
York side as far as Norfolk street and
on the Brooklyn side to Havemeyer
street.
The spans between the anchorage and
the main span will be cantileyers. The
structure will be 11S feet wide and will
have four tracks for trolley cars, two
tracks for elevated trains, two drive
ways, two promenades and two bicycle
paths.

Starting In the Chicken Business.
There is story told of shrewd
Yankee who began in business without
any capital at all.
He borrowed broody hen from one
neighbor and a setting of eggs from
another.
Having set the hen he soon had q
fine brood of chicks, but was now In q
dilemma as to how he could pay back
those eggs.
He finally solved the difficulty By
keeping the hen until she had laid the
required number Of eggs, when he re.
turned both the hen and the eggs, and
guessed he had as fine lot Of chick.
