The First Stage "Uncle Tom I"

The stage version of Uncle Toms
Cabin" was made by George c. How
ard with more or less help from ac-
tors employed by him in the Museum
Theater at Troy, n. Y. That was al
most fifty years. ago, in the height of
the slavery discussion which the novel
had aroused. 1t has been said that
Mr. Howard paid only $3.50 for all the
work not done by himself. He enacted
ST. Clair, the planter, while his wife
was the Topsy and his daughter the
Eva. The play was popular success
at Troy at once, and was soon brought
to New York. The assertion has been
made that no week day has passed
since then without a performance OF
it somewhere, and 'evera1 companies
are usually out with 1t on tours. Mrs.
Towards miscellaneous negress and
Miss Towards angelic child earned a
considerable fortune. But Harriet
Beecher Stowe never received Il cent
from the drama, and refused until
many years had elapsed TO see it en-

deep that it seemed as If a balloon
would be the only way to cross it. This
was the Gokteik gorge. To go around
it would require twenty or thirty miles
more of track, and the question arose
whether it could be spanned by
bridge. The general officials of the
company thought it could if the right
men could be found to undertake the

from start to finish, for the work must
be done within a year from the time
the contract was let. The steel for the
towers, Orders and other work had to
be turned out of the works, shipped
to New York, loaded on board vessels,
carried to Rangoon, loaded on cars
and then transported $50 miles to this
hole in the ground. Special machinery
had to be built to put the bridge to-
gether and to raise the different pieces
and hold them in position. In all.
about 5000 tons of metal alone were
required for the work, the bridge it
self taking 1852 tons alone.
From one side of the valley to the
other was nearly half mile. For two
thirds OF this distance the railroad
track had to be laid at heights ranging
from 100 to $50 feet above the ground.

Living stones of south Sea.

The visitor to the Falkland islands
sees a number of what appear to be
weather-beaten moss-covered powders
of various sizes scattered here and
there. On attempting to turn one over
he is surprised to find that it is an
chored to the ground by roots of great
str ength. These are not powders
they are trees. No other place in the
world can show such popularity of
forest growth. The Falkland islands
are exposed to strong polar wind,
which renders it impossible for trees
to grow in the proper form; nature has
consequently adapted herself to the
prevailing conditions and produced this
strange form of plant life. These

AMERICAN BUILT -

A steamship recently arrived at New

Drowned to a copper color by exposure

to meet them gave each a hearty hand

In the engineering world this group
will be. long remembered as the men
who put up the greatest railroad
bridge in the world in a country none
OF them had ever seen, amid trials and
troubles which might be expected to
discourage anyone but a Yankee engi-
neer.

this immense weight from topping
over. counter-weight of seventy-fvs
tons was loaded upon the rear portion
which was mounted on wheeled trucks
SO that it could be rolled along as the
bridge was erected.
The little band of thirty-five Ameri-
cans put the mammoth bridge together
from eight months after the work was
commenced The bridge is so strongly
built that it will support a train OF
loaded freight cars reaching it's entire
length, in addition to four locomotives
weighing hfty-four tons each. Owing
to its great height, it must be strongly
braced to withstand the force of the
gales which sweep down the valley at
velocity Of sixty or seventy miles an
hour. The engineers had to calculate
upon these and other delicate points,
but tests made after completion show
that they calculated to nicely. 1t
was expected in building the bridge to
have the aid of compressed air in bor-
ing holes through the steel and fasten-
ing the rivets, but when the 500 ma
tives who were employed as laborers
heard the kissing and noted the effect
of the unseen force, they believed it to
be something supernatural and not one
of them could be induced to touch the
compressed air tools. AS a result, all
of the bolts and rivets, nearly two hun
dred thousand, were fastened in the
old-fashioned way by hand hammers.
This delayed the work about one
month
The work was done under the super
vision of J. G.. Turk OF New York, as
engineer for the Pennsylvania Steel
company, under the general direction
of Mr.. J. v. w. Reynders, general SUI
perintendent of the bridge department,
who prepared the drawings for the
structure. The bridge cost $780,
or 1910 a foot. OF the little band of
Americans who went half way around
the world to do this work, every man
came back alive and hearty, but with
the memory of one of the most trying
tasks ever completed by Yankee pluck
and ingenuity.

For the twentieth time that after
noon, Tom Hamilton snapped MS
watch and returned it to his pocket
He was not interested in the passage
of tine-that pile of copying must
be finished whether it took him until
midnight; but these brief intermls-
sions gave him an opportunity to look
at shy thought that had haunted him
since daylight. And the oftener ne
looked at it the better he liked it. In
the morning, it is true, he had laughed
at it; during the forenoon shrugged
his shoulders impatiently; but in the
afternoon-he took out his watch and
stared at the dial.
That a man of his staid, prosa1c
make up should have dreamed at al.
was absurd; but that the dream should
have upset all his waking thoughts
and come between his attention and
his business affairs was worse than
aDsurd-it was serious.
And whal was the dream? Only a
waste of wild white waters, storm
swept but glorious, In the foreground
= towering wave curving inward,
grandly crested. an ogre of the sea-
And he upon the cliff dashed with
spray and beaten by the wind. A de-
licious dream for a hot summer night;
small wonder that he liked to recall
it again and again through the stiff
ding day.
