rocks are spanned by delicate and
Spider-looking bridges of iron. The
length of the walk so far constructed
is nearly three miles. and it is to be
continued for another two miles.
which it is anticipated will be COM
pieted within few months.
The most notable triumph of engi-
neering in connection with this work
is the erection of what is known as
Gobans' bridge. This structure is dis
tinctive owing to its curious design,
being elliptical in shape. This piece
of work was rendered necessary to
span a gap 10 feet in width. giving ac-
cess from the mainland to an isolated
rock known as The Man-of War;"
Owing to the exposed position of the
site of the bridge, the turbulency of
the surf playing upon the rocks imme-
diately below, and the strength of the
tides, 1t was found impossible to erect
the bridge on the spot. Under these
circumstances the structure was erect
cd at Belfast and transferred intact to
a scOw. The latter was then lowed
to THE Man-of- War" rock and care
fully brought to, as far as possible, i'm
mediately below the spot where it was
to be installed. Lifting tackle was
then placed in position upon each side
of the gap to be spanned at the road
way level, and the lifting cables at
tached to each end of the bridge. The
hosting operation had to be carried
out with extreme care. owing to the
cramped space in which the lifting
tackle was operated, and to prevent
the structure being thrown by its own
swinging motion when suspended in
the air against the face of the rocks,
which would have seriously damaged
it. The structure was, however, lifted
to it's position without mishap 1t was
originally intended to stay the bridge
when in position with guys. but when
the bridge was erected it was found
to be sufficiently rigid to dispense with
these additional upports.-Montreal

Yankee IIeas Invade SYRIA.

For the first time the ancient and
primitive methods of labor in the Holy
Land have been disturbed by the intro
duction of Western inventions. The
natives Of Syria have been jolted out
of the rut of ages by the boom of the
thrashing machine and the musical
whirr of the reaping machine!
Last summer an enterprising Ameri-
can imported the first reaper and set
it to cutting the grain in the Syrian
fields. He had it sent all the way
from Chicago. Then a little later a
steam thrasher, the product of an In
diana foundry, was heard Of in Coele-
Syria. 1t created great excitement
among the native farmers. They were
afraid of it at first, then later con-
Guided it to be the work of the evil
one and tried to destroy it. They were
with difficulty brought to see its many
advantages over the old way Of tread
ing out the grain.
The American windmill speedily fol-
lowed the thrasher, and q month or
more ago a -four mill. with machin-
cry and oil motor engine complete.
