In this tribe the so-called poiyps, the

internally is divided by longitudinal
partitions into eight compartments,
each of which IS surmounted by a
fringed tentacle or feeler capable OF
being agitated in the water. The
mouth, situated in the centre of the
space surrounded by these tentacles,
opens into q stomach, which. at its
lower end, communicates freely with
the interspaces between the eight par
titions before mentioned, and these
open below into series of canals,

operation of marinading discourages
many others. 1t Is 9 good plan; to
wrestle with any of these cookery

be diminished or increased as needed.
The meat or fish is put in this mixture

the following facts and figures:
The viaduct which carries the Chi
cago and Northwestern railroad
across the valley of the Des Moincs
river, at a. height of 1S5 feet above
the surface of the river, is 265S feet
long. Il; was built In 1901, is the
longest double-track viaduct in the
world, provided those located in cities

of the best modern construction. The
tower spans are 45 feet long and the
other spans are rs feet long.

worthy of these are the Delaware river
bridge on the Pennsylvania railroad,
ncar Philadelphia, and the Mononga-
heia bridge of the Union railroad, at
Rankin, Pa The Delaware river
bridge was erected in 1896, each one
of its fixed spans having length OF
533 feet and containing 2O94 tons OF
steel. The Rankin bridge was erected
in 1900 Its longer span has length
of 495 feet SB inches between centres
of end pins and contains $500 tons OF
steel, making 1t the heaviest single
span ever erected.
The channel span of the cantilever
bridge over the Mississippi river at
Memphis, Tenn, is the longest one OF
any bridge of this class in America
1t measures 1907 feet between centres
of supports. There is bridge of this
class now under construction over the
Monongahela river in Pittsburg, whose
span is to be little longer than that
of the Memphis bridge, the distance
be ween centres being S12 feet.
Another caatilever bridge is now be-
ing built which will not only have
longer span than any other IN this
country, but longer than that of any
other bridge whatsoever. 1t is located
near Quebec, Can, and its channel
span over the ST. Lawrence river is to
have the unprecedented length of 1900
feet. 200 fet onger than the Brooklyn
suspension bridge. The towers will
have height of 3GO feet above high

The Brooklyn bridge, completed in
1883, is still the largest suspension
bridge in the world, its span being
1857 feet. More people cross this
bridge than any other in any country.
The new East River bridge, which is
now being built, has span of 1900

and was just preparing to say some

remark was needed. The women had
heard the word rat, and hat was
