BRIDGE BUILDING.

Editor Skinner's Fascinating Talk.
 No more attentive or interested audi ence has sat in North Sheffield hall so far during the present course of lectures than sat last evening under F. W. Skinner's exceedingly fine sketch of the growth of the art of bridge building in this country. MT. Skinner, who is a civil engineer of the first rank, is also one of the editors of the American En- gineering Journal. He was introduced by Professor Chittenden in very feli- citous little address and at once launched into discussion of the sci ence of bridge buildings; it's past very brief; It's present very marvellous, and its future unknown He said that up to the last century very little was known more than twenty centuries ago about bridge building. Since steel had been used, the advance in the science had been wonderful. He illustrated fully by the stereopticon some of the mar vels of bridge building, showing among others the bridges over the Mississippi at Cairo and Memphis The one over the Genesee at Rochester, the Wash ington bridge over the Harlem river, and a sketch of bridge on the canti- lever principle built in Japan 200 years ago We thought we had discovered the cantilever fifty years ago until the one in Japan was found by some trav- elers The bridge over the Bay of Fun dy, where the tide rises forty feet; the Forth river bridge 1,700 feet long. longer than our East River bridge, and the three bridges over Niagara river, all were shown.
 The lecture though longer than these usually are was none too long and many would gladly have listened an- other half hour.

DEsERT1oN NEVER DIFFICULT.
Continued from Fourth Page.)

Continued from Fourth Page.) ! Well, to make a long story short
 Lewis got to a city-Omaha, I think
 and fell into his old habits. A man ir 1 clerical garb, living the life of a round. | CT will bring attention to himself, and we caught him, or rather the thirty dol. l lars did.
 That fellow had made love to the minist er's sister and professed religious enthusiasm with only one design-to get away. He had persuaded the girl to give him an old costume of her brothers. and they had together fixed up disguise that made Lewis resemble the minister.
 "Of course he knew that he was go- ing to needless trouble, and I believe he enjoyed the scheming more than he could have enjoyed years liberty. He had conducted several revivals, then popular, and even assisted at a we'd ding. The tales he had told the girl of his reasons for wishing to get east were addit ional proofs of his love of romance. The girl had stood by him, keeping her brother silent and aiding him in other ways. She married him after he com- pleted his term in prison.
 There are many cases like this one, where men defeat their object by deep laid plans when none is needed. Like Lewis, they attract peoples curiosity Most of them take the plan of adopting a disguise They wear it when among people that never saw them, and un- mask when they return to their homes. Perhaps a philosopher would tell us that these instances go to show that It is always the natures of strongest im- agination that refuse to be held In the rout inc of soldiers life in peace"
 It is the soldiers who have no fighting to do that have devised the most ingen- ious plots of escaping by the use of disguise. Doubtless the officers theory of a too vivid imagination accounts for great many of them. But how is It with the deserters in war time? Here, too the imagination often plays part. And even in the latest story of deser- ton, that of the nine men who the other day sent a circular letter to their for mer comrades, inviting them to join their little band in thwarting their countrys purpose in the Philippines, soldiers may see the work of too TO- mantle gination.- Washington Post

THE uNExpEcTEp IN SCIENCE.

When Lord Raleigh announced that
the air contained other gases besides
those which had for long been known
to enter into It's composition, there was
for the moment gasp of almost in
credulous surprise. II anything were
well known by chemists, surely it was
the composition of the air. One new
constituent suggested, however, the
gas argon, was proved by many obser-
vations to have real existence. A lit
tie later other elements, some CT them
hitherto unknown, were found TO exist
in appreciable quantities in the atmos-
phere. Among them was the gas of
the metal helium, whose presence mad
been originally detected in the suns at
mosphere by means Of the spectre.
scope. This metal received its name
from its supposed existence In the sun
alone, as no trace or it had ever been
noted on the earth, yet 1t was now
found to be present in the air we
breathe. Ramsay and Travers have
recently devoted their attention to five
new gases in the air. These are, be.
sides argon and helium, neon, crypton
and xenon. The chemic rela.Ions OF
these substances are now being deter.
mined, and their atomic weight varies
from that of helium, which is four, up
to that of xenon, which is 128. The
lesson of the unexpected discovery OF
these substances would seem to be
that the truly scientific mind must hold
itself In constant readiness for the &C.
