American Railway Bridqes.

The address of the chairman of the

Science gives statistics of American
bridge construction. From it the fol-
lowing particulars are taken. A doz-
en- years ago few plate girder bridges
were built whose span exceeded 100
feet. The span of the large plata
girders of the viaduct on the River
side Drive in New York city is 126
feet
The channel span of the cantilever
bridge over the Mississippi at Mem
phis measures 1904 feet between sup
ports and is the longest Of its class
in America. The Wabash system is
now building such a bridge at Pitts
burg, whose span is to be S12 feet
The channel span of the cantilever
bridge over the St. Lawrence at Que
bee is to have the unprecedented
length of 1900 feet. This is 100 feet
longer than the span Of the Firth Of
Forth cantilever bridge and 200 feet
longer than the span of the Brooklyn
susper sion bridge. The towers are to
be $50 feet above high tide. 1t will

and closed by hand. A catch is To-
Gated on the wall back Of each shut
ter to hold the latter open when
thrown back, and to close the shutters
by hand it is only necessary to pull
the cord which hangs beneath the left
shutter. when the spring hinge will
perform its part. At the same time
the connecting rod over the window
releases the opposite catch and allows
the second blind to close over the
first. To accomplish this result auto
matically under the heat Of the flames,
fusible link or ring is used in con-
nection with the fastening of the first
or left shutter, and the melting OF this
ring permits the spring hinges to
close the blinds in turn before the

safety Dress for Electrical Workers.

SAFETY Dress for Electrical Workers.
An electricians safety dress has
been invented by Prof. Artemieff, and
1t was lately tested in the high,tension
laboratory of Siemens & Halske. The
dress Is composed wholly Of fine but
thickly woven wire gauZe. completely
inclosing the wearer. including hands,
feet and head. 1t weighs 3.3 pounds,
but its cooling surface is SO great
that current of 200 amperes can pass
through the dress from hand to hand
for some seconds without perceptible
heating effect. Standing on the ground
uninsulated, Prof. Artemieff drew
sparks from the secondary terminals
of . transformer which was giving a
tension of $4,000 volts, with a period
Of SO cycles per second. The inventor
concluded his experiments by short
circuiting a generator of 170-kilowatt
capacity by ciutching hold of the ter
minalS. the potential difference be-
tween the two being 1000 volts. and
the current passed 200 amperes.
Throughout the experiments Prof. Ar
temieff declared that he did not feel
the slightest sensation of a current
passing through the body.
