OUR SWEAT SYSTEM.
About Twenty-Eight Miles of Sweat
Glands in the Human Body.

Glands in the Human Body.
1t may be interesting to know that one
persp1res more on the right side of the
body than on the left, and that the skin
of the palm of the hand excretes four ard
a half times as much proportionately to
The surface as the skin of the back, says
AiEslees Magazine. The pores In the
ridges Of the palm number as many as
5000 to the square inch. These pores are
not simple holes or perforations in the
hide, as some imagine, but are little pock-
pavement stuff that covers the external
of the body. They run straight down
to the deepest structure of the skin, and
there they kink up and coil around till
they look like fishing line that has been
thrown down wet. Enclosed in this knot
are little veins that leak the perspiration
through the walls of the tube, and it
wells up to the surface Of the skin.
1t is estimated that the average-sized
man has 100000 of these sweat glands,
aggregating tWenty-eight miles of tub
ing. Think of it! Twenty-eight miles, if
all those tiny tubes could be straight
ened out and put end to end! These

WATAUGA BRIDGE.
Pier to be Erected by Knoxville Firm.

Pier to be Erected by Knoxville Firm.
Preliminary to the construction of a
new steel viaduct to replace the tempo
rary wooden bridge over the Watauga
river, the Southern Railway company
has awarded the contract to Koon,
Groner & Peters, of Knoxville. to do
the stone work. This contract is for
the erection of pier in the center Of
the stream, the old pier having gone
down with the old bridge, and those
on either side of the river are still
standing and are in good condition.
The pier which will be erected will be
between twenty-five and fifty feet above
low water mark. The track level will
be about fifty-f feet. 1t will be nee
essary to sink cofferdam about thirty
feet below the waters edge to get q
firm foundation, as soundings at TWEEN
ty-four feet show a soft formation.
The distance between the two land
piers is 200 feet, necessitating two
spans of 1870 feet each for the new
bridge. The contract for this bridge
has not been let, bat it was desired to
have the pier erected before the high
water Of the fall season sets in.
Trainmaster @. +. Wescott stated
this morning that it would be more
than six months before the work on
the erection of the new bridge will be-
gin, for were the contract awarded i'm
mediately, there is not bridge compa-
ny in the country which would agree
to deliver the material in less than six
months time. He denied the reports
that trouble is being experienced with
the wooden bridge. He said that on
account of the very moist condition of
the river bed and bands, when the riv-
er subsidized, the structure naturally
settled few inches. This, he said,
was not continuous now, the bridge
now being firm. Knoxville Sentinel.
