VICTORIA FALLS BRIDGE.
Completion of the Great Work of An
American Company

The Orders of the bridge at Victoria
Falls, South Africa, were joined April l in
the middle. This event is one of the most
important steps in the progress of the Cape
to Cairo railway, and the British CONNER

lowing condensed account of the work is
taken from the South Africa london April
10) and the African World Supplement
Qondon, April 81:
The Victoria Falls are about twice as
high and more than twice as wide as Mag
ara, followed by a gorge of equal depth.
The only way to cross this gorge was by
a single-span steel cantilever bridge $50 feet
long and SO high above water as to make it
the highest in the world. The dome of
St. Paul's, London, placed beneath 1t would
fail to reach it by 80 feet: the highest sky
scraper in New York would lack 40 feet,

Engineering Company Uimited). The ma
terial for the northern end of the span had
to be conveyed across either by boats on
the Zambesi some miles above the falls or
by the Blondin, car swung on a steel cable
across the gorge. Having been begun
about eighteen months ago, the bridge was
finished forty-eight hours earlier than had

ARTIFICIAL MATCHING
WORK AT BRYAN'S POINT FISH
ING STATION.

The unsatisfactory fishing season on the
Potomac has had its effect on the Bryans
Point propagating station of the United
States fish commission, and the season
there has been a poor one, so il is stated.
So few have been the shad caught in the
river in the vicinity of the Bryant Point
station that the big hatchery has been I'M
able to secure a supply of eggs sufficient to
keep il working at its capacity, but the
handlers of the eggs have been very sue
cessfuI with them and but few have been
lost. 1t is estimated that up to this time
about 100000 shad eggs have been hatch
ed. and the young fry are in various stages
Of Development at the station at this time.
Capt. l.. w. Heron, superintendent. in
charge of the station. expects the work for
the season to fall below 100000 eggs, an
average seasons work. as but few shad

coming in very slowly.
The young shad Matched out by artificial
means at the Bryan's Point station are
