might find a fortune and thither he
went. But he failed to strike 1t rich
and went to Utah in 1888. In the ia
nous Ontario mine In Park City he
went to work with pick and shovel.
From the savings out of his weekly
wages he accumulated enough to buy
himself a copartnership, with several
others, in a claim nearxthe Ontario
mine. They met with success. Other
claims on adjoining land was purchased
and the whole combined into the Silver
King mine Its product of silver, gold,
copper and lead last year amounted to
an even 81 100000. of which one-fourth
went to Senator Kearns. He Is now
worth about 100000.
Kearns is exceedingly geenrous. Not
long ago he gave $4,000 for the estab-
lishment Of an orphanage In Salt Lake
City and he also gave $4,000 toward
the building Of a new Catholic ca
thedral in the same city. He Is now

DR.. William Roberts In his interest
ing lectures on the digestive ferments
writes: "Our practice In regard to the
oyster Is quite exceptional and furnish
es striking example Of the general
correctness of the popular judgment on
dietetic questions. The oyster Is al
most the only animal substance which
we eat habitually and by preference in
the raw or uncooked state, and 1t Is In
teresting to know that there Is a sound
physiological reason at the bottom Of
this preference.
1.-THE fawn colored mass which con-
stltutes the dainty of the oyster Is Its
liver. and this Is little less than heap
Of glycogen. Associated with the gly-
cogen, but withheld from actual con-
tact with 1t during life, Is Its approprl-
ate digestive ferment, the hepatlc dlas-
tase. The mere crushing Of the dainty
between the teeth brings these two
bodies together, and the glycogen is at
once digested without other help by Its
own dlastase.
"The oyster In the uncooked state or
merely warmed Is, In fact, self digest.
I've. But the advantage Of this provl-
sion Is wholly lost by cooking, for the
heat Immediately destroys the associ
ated fcrment. and cooked oyster has
to be digested. like any other food. by
the eaters own digestive powers"

GREATEST IN THE WORLD.
Railroad Bridge at Pittsburg Il a
Novelty of Its Kind.

The greatest steel structure In the
world. SO far as railroad work is con-
cerned, is just about completed In
Pennsylvania. 1t is the wonderful
bridge of the Erie railroad across the
Kinzua valley In Mexican county. The
original bridge was marvel and was
considered one of the wonders of the
new world. The old abutments are
used to support the new structure.
This original structure was found to
be too weak for the modern heavy en-
gines and cars Of the Erie railroad, and
last May traffic on this branch was sus-
pended. 1t extends from Carrollton, on
the main line, to Johnsonburg, a dis
lance of 1872 miles, and passes through
Bradford, Custer City and Mount jew
EFT and connects with the narrow
gauge division OF the Pennsylvania
and Western railroad. Ii trayerses a
wilderness region where bears, deer
and wild cats are found. and the ruffed
grouse Is at home In the almost Inn
penetrable slashings and virgin forests.
The new bridge Is much heavier than
the old structure. In the old bridge
$500 tons of material were used, but
In the new structure there will be $500
tons of steel, or 100000 pounds
This modern steel miracle is 3011a feet
above the level Of the small wilderness
stream and is 2,1O0 feet In length and
nine feet wide Twenty towers Of
steel support the structure and these
vary from twenty-three feet to 2s5 feet
In height and rest on solid piers of
stonework. Looking up from the bot
tom these magnificent towers look like
spider web, but as they are closely ex
amined some idea of the strength Oh
the new bridge is ascertained. Web
plate Orders of three-eighths inch steel
with depth of six and one-half feet
look like mere cords from below. Thes'
girders are placed on steel Orders
thirty-elght inches long and three Inch
es In diameter to provide for elasticity,
or, In other words contraction and ex
pansion. This wonderful structure Il
now ready for traffic. 1t Is one of the
maryels of the age.-Pittsburg Post.
