GROWTH or OCEAN TRAVEL
Large Increase In the NanbsP Of
American Passengers On the
Trans-Atlantic Lines,

The marked increase in the volume
OF ocean steamship travel of late years
has occasioned extended comment
among agents of transatlantic lines.
1t is said that many Americans make
six or more trips q year to the other
side, where formerly they did not
cross at all. Englishmen and Germans
who are engaged in the manufacturing
trades, industrials and even food rails
ing, visit this side much oftener now.
Quite few come to look around with
an idea OF ascertaining how Americans
have made such gigantic commercial
strides in such short time. but the
great majority, realizing the necessity
for adopting American methods where
practicable, come here to purchase
machinery and the like without which
it would be impossible for them to
copy Yankee thrift and industry, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
Not nearly so common on the ocean
ships as he was five or ten years ago
is the English ranchman bound for the
FAR west. He is now in the mining or
engineering business in Mexico and
Central America, although there are
still many Britons engaged in the cat.
tie raising business out west and
throughout Canada. Some of the old
er vessels OF our line shipped large
number of the mules and horses that
were sent to South Africa from New
Orleans for English army service. 1t
wa surprising to discover what a big
percentage of these animals came from
the ranches Of Engiishmen who had
settled in the north and west.
1et another reason for the increase
IN the number of travellers across the
ocean is the renewal Of the good feel.

Large Viaduct In Iowa Called the
Kate Shelley Bridge.

seager Train from DestFuction
An Immense EnSineer-
Ing Work,

Four miles west Of Boone, Ia., Is
nearing completion what is said to
be the highest double track railroad
bridge in the world, says the New
York Tribune. For 80 years the
Chicago d Northwestern railway
has found it necessary to wind
around many curves and down steep
grades to cross the Des Moines river
at Moingona. The section OF II
miles OF track between Boone and
Ogden has been the most dangerous
on the main line et this great trans
continental system. The mainte-
nance OF "pushcrs" and the extra
expense OF hauling heavy loads up
difficult grades, besides numerous
accidents that have occurred from
time to time, have demonstrated the
wisdom of this cutoff between
Boone and Ogden. Besides, there
will be saviag in the distance of
more than three miles and of fully
half time. To obviate these obsta-
cles the Northwestern has CON
structed new double track line and
is building across the Des Moines
river this wonderful viaduct.
Twenty years ago, between Boone
and Moingona. on this same tortu-
Gus line, about to be abandoned, an
engine went through bridge at the
time OF a raging food From her

ing the ill-fated engine to a watery
grave. The state OF Iowa gave her
medal for her bravery, her name
has been celebrated in poetry and
prose. and. as a lasting monument
to her heroic deed. It has been de-
cided to name this structure the
Kate Shelley bridge.
a type of the structure is that
commonly known as the viaduct.
This type of construction IL usually
employed for carrying traf3c over n
deep and wide chasm in which the
question OF waterway Is only OF sec
ondary Importance, and in which
economy and safety are about the
only limits placed upon the design
er. This viaduct consists of a num-
Der OF plate or lattice girder spans
supported upon braced towers. The
spans forming the top of the towers
are IS feet long. while those span
ming the space between two towers
are rs feet long. Not all of this
bridge. however, 10 Of the viaduct
type. for across the channel OF the
river is n truss span 300 feet in
length. The viaduct proper forms
that part of the structure extending
from the ends of this truss span
across the valley TO the adjacent
bluffs.
The length OF this structure Is
2.6s3 feet, the height from low wa
ter TO the base OF the rail ls5 feet.
The width of the deck is 30 feet,
ample for the double tracks. More
metal is used in the construction OF
this viaduct than Of any similar
structure in the world. The approx
innate weight OF the superstructure
Is $3.50 tons. and of the superstruc-
iure 100 tons, making total OF

BURIED TREASURE FOUND.
Negro Finds Hatfsl Of Gold Coias
Near Spot Made Famous
BY Poe.

Poe's famous story Of buried treas.
ures-"The Gold Bng"-who.e scenes
were located on an island on the
Carolina coast, has "A realizatio in

ports the Philadelphia Press
Recently. near Burlington. y. c., q
negro found a hat full of gold double
eagles buried under live oak tree.
He was very ignorant fellow, and
did not know the value OF them un-
ii! some negroes had taken some
from him. The coin which he found
was worth sl,250. The excitement
in that district has become very
great, and boys and men are out in
the fields with hoes. sticks, shovcls
anything to dig with-trying to find
some more of the hidden wealth.
One farmer has had to plant his
corn three times in the past week,
and is now sitting out In his field on
stump with shotgun in his lap
to keep off intruders.
There is great curiosity to know
where this money came from, and
the date of the coin. 1t is now found
that the gold is all dated 1857. Just
before Shermans famous march to
the sea the Bank of Ncwburn hid
$4,000 in gold and s1o0 In jewelry in n
vault near burlington. Sherman's
army camped near this spot, and
some Of the men, hearing that money
had been buried. looked for, Some
signs of it.
They found the earth disturbed, ], and
pitched rent over the place where
the treasure had been deposited. and
got it all. 1t Is now thought THAT the
soldiers in turn buried it, as small
amounts are being found in and
about the place where the $3.50 was
found. They evidently intended to re-
turn later and get it after the war.
