formed this Office, says the London
Chronicle. Queen Elizabeth opened

ham in 1870; and very quaint in COM

the Victorian ceremony is Slows old

attended with her nobility" he writes,

Thomas Grnsham's house in Bishops

dinner, Her Majesty entered the burse
on the south side. and after that she
had viewed every part thereof above

The lower Yalu is likely to be very
important in the war. A photograph
Of it in time of peace would probably
show a number of IoS RATS floating
down the wide stream; for along its
banks are the forests whose products
are carried southwark by the Yalu
current to the sea-going junks which
take them to market.
Near its mouth the Yalu broadens
into a lake-like expanse, about twenty
five miles in length and from four to
five miles wide. The heavy tides raise
and lower its level by several feet at
every flow and ebb. Steamers have
seldom rut1ed these waters above An
tung, but sea-going junks ply up Il
down for thirty miles, beyond which
point the river is navigable by smaller
craft for about 100 miles.
There are no cart roads crossing the
river where it narrows toward the
north, but paths here and there come
down to the banks. Most Of the riV-
crime territory is little developed, be-
cause it is the domain of almost i'm
penetrable forests through which the
sunlight scarcely reaches the waters
of the river.
These Korean forests helped to fan
the quarrel between the Japanese and
the Russians, which finally burst into
fame. Several years ago the King Of
Korea conceded the part Of the forests
lying along the river to the Russians;
and their Manchurian woodsmen have
felled q large quantity Of the finest
trees and foated the logs down to the
junks that have carried them to the
sawmills of Southern Manchuria. The
timber is mostly pine. and nearly as
good as white pine. There is also
an abundance of walnut. beech. oak,
maple and other varieties, making the
wood trade Of the Yalu River very
important in Eastern Asia. This for
est concession helped to assure the Ger
tainty Of war, but the wooded region
will not figure IN the conflict. because
1t is no place for marching armies.
Europeans who have visited it say that
a half dozen yards on each side of the
paths are the limits Of vision.
Only the narrow river lands along
the Yalu are settled, and that sparse
ly, but the river has for ages been the
great water highway between upper
Manchuria and the southern end of
that country. where the Russian SOL
diers have been maSSing.
Setting foot in Korea, a very different
scene is spread before the Russians
from that of the dense forests to the
north. They are looking over & plain
extending far south. very fertile. and
one of the best farming regions. 1t
is broken by mountain spurs, which eX-
tends to or nearly to the sea, but 1t is
one of the few parts of Korea that
may be traversed with comparative
ease.-Collier's Weekly.

The London Truth vouches for this:
When one reads Of the considerable
use that is already being made medi-
cinally of radium it seems hardly cred
ible that so much can have been made
Of so little. 1 see the Pharmaceutical
Journal estimates that the amount pro-
durable in London to-day is consider
ably less than a grain. Consequently.
as only a limited number Of medical
men car have All opportunity of utiliz-
ing this weird chemical, the Journal
suggests that its readers, who. of
course, are mostly chemists, should
follow the example Of one of their
number, who has obtained a small tube
containing FIVE milligrammes Of ra-
dunn bromide, and hires it out at half
a crown an hour. This is surely the
very strangest development of modern
pharmacy.

that of the Wabash Railroad. which
spans the Monongahela River at Pitts
burg. After two corps of engineers
had figured out the measurements of
the centre span with only the differ
ence of 15-64th Of an inch, work was
at once begun upon the two large
stone piers located on either side of
the river. In order to provide for the
great force to be placed upon the
shore piers, two anchors. strong
enough to support the centre span,
were placed under ground at a depth
Of sixty feet. the arms being Connected
by solid steel frame. On top Of each
pier is a huge tower.
Extending from the top of the tow-
ers is the top chord. which has a
rounded appearance, while the lower
chord extends in a straight line from
pier to pier. The struts, batter posts,
eye beams, uprights, braces and the
other structural steel shapes are con-
nected with these, the top chord hold
ing the bridge up. The work was
performed simultaneously from both
piers, thirty-foot sections being built
at a time. So carefully had the shore
braces been placed that it was a sim
pie matter for the shore piers to hold
the immense weight of the steel
frames. When sufficient steel shapes
had been placed in position, travellers.
higher than the towers, were erected
at either end of the bridge. These trav-
elers performed the same work as q
derrick, the dozens of ropes suspend
ing from them being kept busy lifting
the steel frames from barges in the
river to their proper places on the
structure. Sometimes it would be nee
essary to hold one of these frames in
position for several days until the
proper bolts or connections could be
made. This, of course, made it neces-
sary to have a jib upon the top of the
travellers, thus facilitating the hand
ling Of the frames beyond those being
held in place. It was the breaking of
one of these travellers that caused the
death of eight workers, the crane.
bridge iron and men being precipitated
into the water beneath.
Day by day this work continued, the
travellers being advanced with the pro-
gress Of the bridge until the last span
was raised in place and found to fit
exactly. 1t was a wonderful sight to
witness these two long outstretched
arms having practically nothing to
hold them up.
The centre span is 812 feet long and
contains 1000 toas Of steel, the total
cost when completed being S1.0OO.OOO.
There is about $4,000 tons Of steel in
the entire bridge. Although the Firth
Of Forth of Scotland contains two
channel spans 700 feet long, and two
| anchors GS5 feet each, and is the larg-
est bridge in the world. that of the Wa
bash is regarded as one of the finest
specimens of its kind in the world.
