needs of the locality, would throw upon the
bridge. The inadequacy of single track,
If bridge were built to only accommodate
such, would soon be apparent, and the in
evitable result would be strong public
demand for a double-track street railway
on the bridge, which would then have to be
met by reconstructing the bridge at great
expense or by placing a second track on
one of the carriageways. and thus depriv-
ing the general public of the free use of
this part Of the bridge, with the resulting
annoyance and delay to travel Of both
kinds.
From this point Of view true economy
and future needs Of the community would
demand that in the original construction of
the bridge ample allowance be made for re-
quirements which experience with the

Regarding the capacity of a single-track

said (keeping in view the length of the

that car at speed of six miles an hour,
and which should not be exceeded on the
bridge, would require about five minutes
for transit. Making allowances for switch
ing to and for turnouts or double tracks

that from six to seven minutes will be

be needed for the passage of two such cars.

Tallest Chimney In America.

The government is erecting at Con-
stable Hook, n. j., chimney which
will be the tallest in America when
completed. An excavation of twenty
feet deep and forty-five feet square was
made to hard gravel. This area was
filed with piles closely driven, and
upon the platform a base of fireproof
brick thirty feet square by thirty feet
in height was built. On the base a
round chimney of brick is to be built
up to a total height of 800 feet. The
stack is to be ten feet in diameter at
the top and will weigh 10000 tons. The
cost of erection is in the neighborhood
of $4,000.

the construction of the wheel or NOV
ing mechanism alone contains the in

There are two circles composed of
levers which are placed on the two side

two sets of levers form an angle of 45
degrees with each other, and at their
outer ends CONFERENCE.-The are attached
to the longer arm of each lever. From
the start we conclude that the coun-
terweights on the side farthest from
the center of the wheel would give
preponderating turning force to the
wheel, causing it to turn with a circu-
lar movement.
The wheel makes four turns per
minute and its movement is regulated

by centrifugal governor put in mo-
tion through an endless chain.
When the wheel in its movement
brings the short arm of one of the lev
ers, which may be called an armature,
to the face of the pulley the phenom-
enon of magnetic repulsion takes place,
which causes the long arm of the lever
with the counterweight to rise to
vertical position, while the further
motion of the wheel causes it to fall
to the other side from the vertical po-
sition, thus making it add its weight
to each of the others which have pre-
ceded 1t to keep the wheel in motion.
The motion Of the wheel is trans
mitted to the clock spring through a
piuion placed on the axle which meshes
into n toothed wheel. which at its CEN
ter has an endless screw acting on an
other smaller wheel. whose axle pinion
rests on the wheel of the drum which
winds up the spring.

SENSITIVE PEOPLE.
A Person Conferred on Self Will Gather

There lately died in Indiana a little
old lady who for sixtyfive years had
the village station was within a few
blocks of her home, she had never seen
a railway train. Yet she was not
blind, nor cripple, nor bedridden
sufferer. A few years before the young
Victoria ascended the throne of Eng
land this Indiana girl quarreled with
her lover, and declared their engage
ment at an end. That evening, and at
intervals of sixty years thereafter, the
man faithfully renewed his offer of
marriage. She chose to abide by her
foolish resolution, to which she added
a vow never to leave her home. HUI
man vanity takes many forms. Poor
Lady Coventry, who had been world
famous as one of the beautiful Gun
nings, spent her last days on a couch
with a pocket mirror in her hand.
When a caller hinted how greatly she
had changed, she took to her bed, had
no light in her room, and finally took
things in through the bed curtains
without suffering them to be with
drawn. History says that ten thou
sand persons went to see her coffin.
Horace Walpole affirms that Lord Fame
once kept his bed six weeks because
the Duke of Newcastle forgot in one of
his letters to sign himself your very
humble servant" as usual, and only
put your humble servant" This all
seems very silly, but unfortunately
these morbidly sensitive people of the
past have their counterparts today.
To be talked about and written about
is still one of the most prevalent and
pernicious cravings of society, and
there seem to be few depths of renun-
citation and reimbursement which go
untried. The heroine of the dime
novel type who resolves never to
smile again" who cuts loose from hu-
man sympathies, and whose life is CEN
tered only on herself, deserves and
usually gets ''Apollo's reward" To the
mortal who laboriously sifted the chaff
from the wheat. the humorous and
healthy minded sun god gave the chaff
for his pains,-Youth's Companion.

preWsomo spectacle "hen the DEAD
Seem to Feign Life.
Live persons have feigned death with
marvellous exactness, but when the
dead feign life. or seem to feign life.
the spectacle is as gruesome as can
well be imagined. Not long ago Rus
sian cemetery was the scene of as
weird wedding as ever has been wit
messed. A young girl who had been
betrothed died on the eve of her mar
riage, and her friends decided that, in
spite of the intervening hand of death,
her marriage must take place. The
wedding ceremony was performed at
the side of the grave, and after the
marriage the body was returned to the
CONN and lowered to its long resting
place. 1t is less than year ago that
a valuable cup was won in bicycle
race in Australia by n man who was
dead when he passed the winning post.
The race took place at an electric
light carnival" so called, in the pres
ence of 10000 spectators. In the last
| lap James Somerville. a rider, forged to
| the front and secured such a lead that
| his victory was assured. When within
twenty-five yards of the finish he was
seen to relax his hold on the handle
bars and lose his footing on the ped
ais. He did not fall from the machine.
however, and amid frantic cheers
dashed by the goal, winning the race
by half a wheel. AS he passed the
finishing post he pitched forward and
fell to the ground. When he was pick
ed up he was found to be dead, and
what was more, the doctors declared
that death had come to him when he
was seen to lose his hold of the han
dlebars. 1t was a dead body that had
ridden the last twenty-five yards of the
race. On recent voyage the sealing
/ schooner Arietis was cruising about
200 miles off the coast of British Co
| lumbia when she sighted a dismantled
ship. The Arietis bore down upon the
derelict, and as she got near enough a
man was seen on board grasping the
wheel and apparently steering the
craft. No other sign of man was seen
| on the ship. The man at the wheel
was hailed, but returned no answer
just stood there grasping the spobes
of the wheel and looking straight
ahead. A boat was lowered and the
mysterious ship boarded. When they
came close to the man at the wheel
they saw with horror that he was dead
and had evidently been dead for many
days.-San Francisco Bulletin.

Mud In the Reservoirs.

Recently the huge fresh water res
ervoirs at the Mare Island navy yard
have undergone their biennial clean
ing out, with the usual accompani-
ment of considerable malaria in the
yard as direct consequence of bring
ing to light a large amount of mud
which has slowly drifted into these
tanks from the roofs and other sources
in the yard. The attempt to find wa
ter by artesian boring has been given
up as failure and the water supply
is made up from the reservoir system

kangaroo walk most effectively. Its
popularity may be traced partly to
their cultivation of the fad and partly
to the affectation of an attractive
young actress who carried it with her
from the stage to Fifth avenue, where
it won the commentator OF the men
