Bridging the Zambesi

All the materials for the great bridge
which is to be thrown across the Xam-
best Immediately below Victoria Falls
have now been transported from Oar
Ington to the scene Of operations. But
many difficulties have still to be faced
and overcome. The nearest drift is six
miles distant, and all communication be
tween the banks of the river is depend
ent upon 4 wire rope and "bo'suns'
chair. 1t was hoped that foundations
on solid rock on either side would have
been found six months ago, but the de.
sired result has only just been attained.
1t is expected however. that the bridge
will hc completed by May, 1905
BY that time the men employed on the
bridge will have been working for more
than twelve months at their task. Dur
ing eight of these months they will be
exposed to the spray Of the falls-a
moisture more penetrating than rain and
converting the ground on either bank
into veritable Slough Of Despond. The
fever season is reckoned in the district
at five months and every white man en-
foretaste of it; n few have been invalid
ed home, and all cherish Il lively recol-
lection of il.
The bridge in itself is a comparatively
simple structure, as II consists of n single
span of 500 feet. the actual distance
from bank to bank being something over
900 feet. The bridge will owe its ce-
lehrity partly to the fact that it will be
400 feet above the river, and partly to
Its romantic surroundings Engineering

Did YOU ever stop to think about the
fact that we have more showers in the
afternoon than we have in the morning,
and the causes which bring about this re
suit" asked a man who takes an interest
in meteorological questions.
The chief factor is the upward move
mcnt of the air which is brought about
by heat. You see in clear weather the
heat is not at its height until after mid
day. The changes which set in as II re-
suit of the air movement i'll the afternoon
and the gradual withdrawal of the suns
force as the orb rolls down toward the
western horizon will bring about just
those conditions favorable to the produc-
ton of showers, and the next result is
the showers we 50 often experience in
the afternoon.
There seems to be in this, as in all of
natures plans, q fine wisdom. 1t would
be impossible to measure the advanta ge
Of these showers to plant life. Often
plants need reSuscitation after the severe
heat of the day. They are in wilted
condition and need the sprinkling we give
the plants in the flower garden. Nature
does the sprinkling by sending good,
refreshing shower. The afternoon show
er is great institution, too, from the
standpoint of human beings, and other
quentfy begin to droop under the depress-
ing influence of severe heat. And, as n
rule. the shower is NEEDED more in the
afternoon than at any other period of
time. New Orleans Times-D Democrat.

Preserving Fence Posts.

The well-lnown methods OF preserv-
ing fence posts and wood, which are
partly embedded in the earth, are only
effective when both the charming and
tarring are applied. Should the posts
only be charred, the charcoal forma-
ton on the surface would act as an alb
sorber of the moisture and. If any
thing. only hasten the decay. BY APP
plying n coating of tar, without pre-
vious Charring, the tar would only
form casing about the wood, and
would not penetrate to the depth
which the absorbing properties of the
charcoaled surface would insure Wood
that is exposed to the action of water
or let into the ground. should first be
charred, and then. before it has entire
ly cooled, be treated with tar till the
wood is thoroughly impregnated. The
acetic acid and oils contained in the
tar are evaporated by the heat and
only the resin is left behind. This pen
etrates the pores Of the wood and
forms an air tight and waterproof en-
velope. It is important to imprcgnatc
the wood little above the line of cX-
pOSure.

Rheumatism in Hogs,

1t is hard to say what causes rheu-
matiSm among hogs. although 1t may
be generally found that they have oc-
cupied damp quarters at some time
during their growing period. Mcdl-
cine may or may not do them good
but 1t is safest not to fool with drugs.
The better plan is 10 let them have all
the charcoal and wood ashes they will
eat, supply them with clean. dry bed
ding, and tempt them TO exercise by
turning them out on Il good range
where the grass IS thick and fresh.
All corn should be taken from Them
during the summer and the feeding
of grain should be confined to mid
dlings or bran, with more or less clean
slop in which vegetables are literally
placed. Clean water for drinking NAV
be supplied, but no induccmcnt offer
ed the animals TO root or TO wal!ow.
Swine suffering from Rheumatism
should be kept In 4 lot by them
selves and be given special care.
