the draw has been swung have been kept
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
They report that during the calendar year
1899 the draw was opened $3.50 times, the
number of vessels passing through being
13, 1870, of which 1895 were steam vessels
and 1904 vessels of other kinds. There
is considerable force in the objection that
two bridges would tend TO cause an ice
gorge, although the ice in tie upper river
is badly broken up by conf ing over the
Little and Great Falls, but 10 they were
removed to a distance of about 1000 feet
apart there would be room between them
for vessel to run back and forth TO
break up the ice, thus checking any ten
dency to gorge.
owing 70 the fact that all wagon travel
from the south has to cross the bridge at
present provided at Roach's Run, the
wagon bridge could be placed as much as
1000 feet upstream from the railroad
bridge without really Increasing the dis
lance to be Travelled by teams, except
those which start between Roach's Run
and the south shore Of the bridge.
AN estimate of the cost of building
the bridges. separately or combined has
been prepared by the engineer of the rail-
road and is believed to be correct, except
in the matter Of $4,000 linear feet Of I
beams for asphalt floor at $50 $40 ,000.'
This item. ii is believed, will amount to
s54 per linear foot instead Of $50. which
would make the total of that item Sl29,
OG0. or an increase of s57 eco. This item
enters both estimates, so that the cost to
the United States will not be changed
thereby.
Dridging the Potomac.
1t is the general rule that where
changes are made to eliminate grade cross
ings One-half the expense shall be paid by
the public and one-half by the railroad.
The bill under consideration proposes an
expenditure of not less than $1,000 0G0,
81 got. 600 Of which sum is for the Lew
station and therefore would not come into
the division of costs Some other items
also belong 10 this category; bit the cost
of changes which in other cities would be
subject to division amount to not less
than 81. 600 900. The rule adopted in this
case is that the railroad company shall
pay all the costs Of changes both of
bridges and of excavations, within its
right of way, and that the District gov
eminent shall be responsible for land dam
ages and for building the approaches. The
damages at less than $4,000, and the cost
Of approaches at $200, 600. The entire
moley cost to the public for making these
very necessary changes Will be 500, 900.
This is exclusive of the bridge. which
should be rebuilt under any circumstances.
Adding the cost OF the bridge (s5fS. 500.

be S91s 900.

An eminent physician lately called
attention to the important part wars
have taken in hospital development.
He declared that the Crimean war de-
veloped the trained nurse and the
training school. In the American civil
war, medical men learned that small
hospitals, and even hospital tents, are
better than large enclosed structures
for the sick and wounded. To the
knowledge thus gained is due the pat
vilion tent 1t was war, also, 1t is asSs
serted, that led. not to,the discovery,
but to the introduction of antiseptic
surgery. Medical science will profit
by the conflict now in progress in
South Africa. Through disease and
wounds there treated, benefit will come
to the civilized world. Thus out of a
great evil may come a great good, for
war ycompels resort to every expedient
to save the lives Of ones own soldiers,
no less than to destroy the lives OF
those in the hostile army.
