svscrapers az Weather Makers.

One of the unforeseen problems introduced to
civilization by the coming of the skyscraper
seems not unlikely to prove exceedingly
troublesome. Downtown Chicago is becoming
a veritable cave of the winds. An ordinarily
gentle and mild-mannered breeze, suddenly
compressed between the canyon-like walls of
skyscrapers, becomes a high gale, just as a
placid stream in like circumstances becomes a
raging torrent.
As no system of windbreaks that could be
invented seems likely 10 meet the situation.
It may yet be necessary TO establish small
Ravens of safety where the buffeted pedestrian
can anchor himself TO a railing and ride out
the storm. An ordinary gale which works
destruction to exposed specimens OF millinery
and sends mems hats on lofty flights of block
or more no longer occasions surprise. At
times when the wind pressure is reasonably
high, the wayfarer is lucky IL he is not pushed
into the street or pinned against the building
wall. AT one windy corner the other day a
cab horse was blown OF his feet. While exhib-
itions of such violence are unusual, the Incl
dent illustrates the seriousness otthe situation
for the pedestrian Chicago News.

Most WONDERFUL Bridge In the World

Within sight of Victoria falls is the most
wonderful bridge in the world, spanning the
Zambesi river at point where the river dis
appears into deep canon and zigzags its way
through the cliffs for mile. The popularity
in the construction of the bridge is that owing
TO the great height above the water, the depth
of the stream. and the PERCEPTIONS banks. no
staging or scaffolding could be used. Accord
ingly a cantlever structure is being built ST.
mulJaneously from each end until the sides of
the arch, $50 feet long. meet In the centre.
The method adopted by Beresford Fox, the
assistant engineer-in-charge, was to fire rock
ct across the river at the spot selected-which
Is just below the Boiling Pot" as the entrance
TO the 20mile canon is called-and to the rocket
was attached a thin string. Next stouter
string was sent across and finally telephone
because the distance by going round was about
10 miles, although the actual distance straight
across is only about 200 yards. Next marked
steel wire was passed across and a strain put
on IL; the strain was measured by means of a
spring balance in order 10 compute the sag of
the wire.
The total length of the bridge will be $50 feet.
There will be three spans, two very short ZAP
proach spans" Of unequal length. and the
great central or main span OF 800 feet. The
southern span will be 81 IL feet long, and the
northern 62 l.2 feet. A rough measurement
calculated from rail level to low-water level
in August showed u height of 40 feet. The
high-water level will be about 40 feet less or
$50 feet from the bridge. The bridge will be
the highest in the world. The nearest to it is
the Viaduct du Viaur in France-just finished
which is 375 feet above the bottom of the
valley 1t crosses.-IThe Worlds Work.

Annual Report of the Audubon So


Bird-Lore for February contains the an
nual report of the national committee of
Audubon societies, a document of some 80
pages. The report summarizes the history of
the Audubon movement and gives encourag-
ing details of the years progress. Societies
are now established in IS states, and a model
bird law has been passed in % states. Thirty
four wardens TO guard colonies of nesting
birds are employed, and the societies cooperate
with national and state game officials. Pres
ident Roosevelt, who is in hearty sympathy
with Audubon work, has set aside certain
government lands as perpetual breeding places
for Birds and the lighthouse board has lent It's
powerful aid in protecting sea-birds along the
coast. The national committee. which acts as
an executive body for all the state societies,
has recently become Incorporated and proposes
to attempt to raise an endowment fund of one
million dollars of which one hundred thousand
dollars has already been promised. As step
in practical bird protection Bird Lore urges
the erection of brd-houses and presents plans
and specifications of numerous dwellings de-
signed to meet the needs of feathered tenants.
Bird-Lore Is published for the Audubon
societies by the Macmillan company.

Have New Hampshire Dealers Right to
Deliver LIQUOR In This state7


Much interest is taken in the efforts
being made by States Attorney II. d.
Ryder to test the efficacy of the present
liquor laws of our state, in preventing
teams from North Walpole coming to
Bellows Falls and delivering liquors.
The Crescent Brewing company some
months since organized a corporation as
an express company, for the purpose of
making themselves common carriers"
and thus stand upon the same footing as
express companies, or railroads, and so
have the right to transport the contra
band article into this state. There is
Mr.. Ryder, for the purpose of testing the
law, and upon complaint of numerous
citizens, served notice upon this company,
and the Riverside bottling works. that they
must desist from bringing the article into
this village or he should take any legal
power he might have to stop 1t. M II.
Murphy of the bottling works promptly
agreed to stop 1t, but Charles j. O'Neil
of the Crescent company gives notice
that he shall continue the trade as here
tofore, claiming he has a legal right.
This means that the Riverside business
will be done through the Crescent COM
pany's express and that the question will
be taken into the courts. AS this town
votes by its majority they do not want
the liquor curse on this side OF the river
and that as Walpole does want 1t on their
side, every good citizen OF both sides
ought to be willing not TO force a trade
upon either side not wanted. Public

that does the least harm and the most
good. We don't suppose there ever
waa or will be person but who would
want pure whiskey if he coRld get it,
and yet, the impure article has been
sold so much and claims 80 often made
that Ii was pure that some people do
not, know the taste or qualifications OF
the genuine article.
Convenience again causes some to

TAey either imagine they wifi not get

aare too far away to<give their orders
the attention they should have. Still
another wrong impression, as we de-
