Bridges and Vibration.

There are very few bridges in the
world over which troops are allow
ed to march in regular step. In
general, when coming to a bridge,
particularly a suspension bridge, the
drums or bands are stopped, the ar
ray is broken and the soldiers pass
over without keeping step, or rather
taking pains not to keep step. The
reason is found in the fact that a
very slight initial vibration, if con-
tinued, is impaired to the whole
structure, and in a short time be-
Genes so strong a downward strain
at every recurrence as speedily TO
endanger the safety Of the strong

Gus circumstance is seen in the case
