FEAT OF BRIDGE BUILDING.

New One.

The double tracks Of the Pennsyl.
vania railroad cross the SchuykiIl river
at Girard avenue. Philadelphia. on a
stone-arch bridge with a single steel
truss span over the middle channel.
This was recently replaced in IS min

ruption 20 the almost continuous
traffic Of long. heavy freight trains
and high-speed expresses which cross
The bridge every hour In the "a. with
out obstructing the river. says Frank
". skinner, in Century. 4 temporary
steel span was built alongside the old
one and at n lower level. so that its
top was a little below the bottom OF
the old structure. On this was erected.
in the usual way, the complete new
span with the tracks laid on t. Pow
erful hoisting-engines were set on
platforms at the ends Of the old span
on the opposite sides Of the bridge.
and operated four sets Of tackles, by
which. after the tracks had been cut,
both spans, weighing together nearly
1000, 900 pounds. were pulled sidewise
on double tiers of long horizontal rails.
with over 800 solid steel rollers be-
tween them. In this way the old span
was displaced by the new one. which
followed IL like very substantial
shadow, until permanently seated IN
exactly the same position. Two and a
half minutes after the last train
crossed the old span. the connections
were broken, the engines were started.
and in 2h minutes more had pulled
both spans simultaneously the full
distance OF about 81 feet. In eight
minutes more the first train had
passed over the new span. and Il was
in regular service. The engines and
tackles were shifted, and n set OF
creased rails was arranged at low
level on which the temporary span
was pulled 20 position directly below
the old span, and served as n support
while the latter was taken 10 pieces
The great weight Of the spans, the
difficulties from incessant traffic, and
the speed and accuracy with which the
spans were moved, make this one Of
the most remarkable of feats.

Men call It the Port o. Sleep
Where far below dim waters flow
Through chambers cool and deep.

Her streets and her greening bowers,
And all day long a sleepy song
Murmurs of love and flowers.
And never a care can enter there.

There rest comes sweet to toiling feet
And weary hearts find JOY.
Now would ye know the way 10 60
To the beautiful Town o. Dream?
Ye must seek the god OF the Land o. Nod.
Ruler OF things that seem.
And drawing near with humble cheer
Yen speak the Word Of Kin,
And If your mind is good and kind

And win our Town again!
