LONGEST Sran BRIDGE.

There is now under construction
across the st. Lawrence at Quebec a
cantilever bridge which, when COM
pleted, will contain the longest span
of any bridge yet erected, not even
excluding the great cantilevers Of the
Forth Bridge in Scotland. The struc-
ture consists of two approach spans of
210 feet each. two short arms, each
500 feet in length, and a great cen
trail span 1900 feet in length.
The total length of the bridge is
1920 feet. and although in extreme
dimensions it does ret compare with
the Firth of Forth bridge, which is
about n mile in total length, it
has the distinction of having the long
est span in the world by 80 feet, the
two cantilevers of the Forth bridge be.

For Skin, Graftinu.

The rrgeo in the Charity Hospital
in New Orleans, believing that the
membrane Of eggs would do just as
we'll as skin to replace the destroyed
skin, resolved to try it, as it could not
possibly do any harm if the expert
ment were not a success. He accord
ingly broke an egg and poured out
the contents. Then he carefully re-
moved the membrane which separated
the white and yolk from the shell and
placed this membrane on parts of AN
improvised arm. The wound was
washed with normal salt solution, a
wet dressing applied and the arm was
bandaged. A few days afterward the
decided to look at the arm
and see what the results were The
bandage was removed and the results
were as he hoped they would be. He
Immediately sent for nor eggs and
a like operation was performed on
other parts of the arm till the entire
wound was covered. It is about twelve
inches long and three inches wide. To
cover this with the membrane of eggs
taken in small pieces required pa
thence and dexterity; but the surgeon
saw his first attempt was a success
and he wanted the skin to grow on
the arm without grafting.-Week's

FIRE

AT a meeting Of Hope Hook and
Ladder Co. No. l, held on July 9, 1901,
the town was divided into Fire Dis
triets and q Code Of Signals was
adopted in order to facilitate the loca-
ton of fires in the future. The town
was divided as follows:
District No. No. ALL that portion
Of town bounded north by Bellevue
street, west by Union street, south
and east by corporation line.
District No. 2-All that portion Of
town bounded by Bellevue street on
the south, Union street on the west,
and corporation line on the north and
east.
District No. 3-The portion Of town
lying west Of Union street, and south
of Bellevue street, with the corpora.
ton line as the south and west boun-
dairy.
District No. 4-The portion Of town
bounded on the south by Bellevue,
east Union, north and west by cor
poration line.
The signals adopted were short taps
to indicate the district in which the
fire is located, followed by a rapid
alarm, same to be repeated until gem
eral alarm is given.
To illnstrate. should an alarm be
sounded for District No. 3, first three
taps, one, two, three, followed by rap
i'd alarm, and repeat.

Submarine Balloon.

In various parts of the PACING
ocean. chiefly along the shores OF
America and Asia. is to be tounu the
largest as well as II OF the most
wonderful aquatic plants that exist
upon the, globe. This is called the
Nereocystis, and it is particularly
plentiful in the neighborhood OF the
Aleutian Islands. Where it a n
a warm soil, even at a depth OF lVo
to 800 feet below the surface OF the
water, it will grow vigorously, ana
eventually reach the top. The pecu-
liarity of the plant is that until this
latter end is attained it consists OF
only one rope-like stem, at the upper
end of which is a large bladder or
balloon, somewhat like a pear in shape
and often attaining a diameter OF six
feet by nine feet in the largest part.
This balloon naturally drags the stem
toward the surface of long, slender
leaves.
To such a size do these leaves at
tain that the balloon is often the CEN
ire of a mass of weedy growth 40 or
so feet in diameter. To the natives
Of the Aleutian Islands this plant is
almost as useful as the bamboo is to
the Chinaman. The stem itself, when
dried, makes an excellent rope; the
long leaves are split, dried and used
in the manufacture OF wickerWork and
various other articles Of a similar ma
ture;' while the balloon itself is
cleaned out, scraped, and dried in the
sun, to form a water tank, storing
cask, Or a multiplicity of other useful
articles, according to its size. The
rope or stem Of the plant is often de-
tached from the bottom and pulled UP
into a boat in one unbroken length Of
two to three hundred feet.-WaVeT.

An idea which has occurred to many
minds since the first "harnessing' OF
Niagara Fails, was clearly put by Mr..
H. W Buck in a paper read before
the Engineers society of Western
New York. 1t is that most OF the
electric power obtained from the tails
will be used within a few miles OF its
place of origin instead of being trans
mitted to distant cities. In other
words, Mr.. Buck believes with Profess
sor brigham that at and near the 1alis
Will be situated the future lnduslflai
center of America. 1t would be tneo-
reticaliy possible, he says. to transmit
power from Niagara as far as san
Francisco, but the cost would be pro-
hibitive. It is much cheaper to locate
factories near the falls.

DR.. c. R. Eastman Of Harvard
calls attention, in Science, to the as
tonishing longevity Of the popular oe-
lusion," to which ever educated people
at the present day give credence, that
living frogs, toads and other animals
are sometimes discovered in hernet-
ically sealed cavities in tree trunks
and rocks. After quoting a number
of remarkable instances Of these al
legged discoveries, Doctor Eastman says
that a little reflection shows, from the
very ilatura Of things, that such tales
are incredible and that those who
yolch for them must be mistaken in
their observations, as the most sharp
sighted persons are deceived by the
feats of a preStidigitator.
