SUSPENSION BRIDGES.
They Were Common In Peru In the
Days of the Incas.

vhey Were Common In Peru In the
Days of the Incas.
Suspension bridges, some Of them Of
considerable length, were common in
Peru In the days of the Incas. They
were formed of cables of twisted osiers
passed over wooden supports and
stretched from bank to bank, then
bound together with smaller ropes and
covered with bamboos. The road from
Cuzco to Quito is still noted for frail
bridges Of this sort, which are in con-
slant use and span deep chasms.
The Chinese also, according to
Kircher, have for centuries been IA
milar with the suspension" theory
and have constructed chain bridges in
which the weight of the roadway is
supported by the tension Of the chains
The first iron suspension bridge In
Europe was built over the Tees, near
Middleton, in 1741, for the use of min
ers. Two chains were stretched in a
straight line, steadied by ties from
the banks below, and the roadway for
foot passengers was supported by the
chains.
The modern suspension system prac-
tically dates from 1916, when bridges,
both over 100 feet in length, were sue
cessfully completed at Galashiels and
Peebles.-London Standard.

According to q Scottish Preside
rhyme, alluded to by Sir Thomas
Brown in his Vulgar Errors" three
days were borrowed by March from
April, with a view to the destruction
Of some sheep, but the popular fiction
Of the borrowed days is really of older
date.
In the Complaint of Scotland"
printed in 1913, we find: There eftir
1 entrit in ane creme forest, to con-
tempill the tender yong frutes, becaus
the borial blasts of the three borouing
dais Of Narche he'd chaissit fragrant
fureise Of evyrie frut-tree far athourt
the fields"
The origin and meaning Of the ex-
preston are obscure. 1t may probably
be founded upon that relapse into win
try weather which Is often noticed at
the close Of March and which seems
to snatch few days from the promise
Of opening spring. A similar fancy
has prevailed In the highlands Of Scot
land in connection with the first two
months of the year.-London Answers.
