THE ZAMBESI BRIDGE.
Highest In the World and Built of
Steel.

Highest In the World and Built of
Steel.
The ZambeZi bridge, or the Victoria
falls bridge, as it is variously called, is
a record bridge in many respects, says
J. Hartley knight in the Engineering
Magazine for October. 1t is the-highest
-420 feet-in the world, and it was
built in the shortest time recorded for
such a work-viZ, nineteen weeks. Sir
Charles Metcalfe also claimed that no
other bridge of it's size and capacity
had ever been built so cheaply.
The total length of the bridge is $50
feet, Of which the central span ac-
counts for 500 feet between the pin
centers on the two banks, the balance
being made up of the two short spans.
The great center span rises in & grace
full par2bolic arch to the center, the
spring of which starts from the bases
of the main booms. The vertical rise to
the crown is go feet. The main span is
made of twenty bays each % feet long
and lateral stability was secured by &
wide spread at the feet of the bridge.
At the rail level the distance between
girder centers is q feet inches,
whereas at the bases the width be-
tween pin centers is 30 feet
The roadway projects beyond the
side Orders so as to allow a clear 30
feet between parapets. The bridge is
of steel, and as it is coated with gray
paint it is rendered as invisible as pos
sible against the cloud Of spray-"the
smoke that sounds" as the natives call
it-that rises from the falls, and the I'M
due obtrusion on the landscape which
so many feared has thus been obYiated.

The flashlight pictures are the most
unique and surprising in the collection.
| Nearly all of them were taken at the
drinking places which many animals
visit in the night. When Schillings had
selected a favorable spit he would
pitch his camp some distance away,
! but near enough to summon aid at the
crack of his rife. Selecting a small
space where the wind blew toward him
from the path and water, he would in
close il with brush fence to screen
| himself from view. Here he would sit
sometimes ali night in the darkness or
starlight, with his fashlight all ready,
match in hand and repeating rife and
revolver by his side.

one picture he is crouching for a

Dead Man Driving Wagon.

The novel spectacle of dead man
driving wagon loaded with trunks
was seen by few people near the
freight depot of the Seaboard Air
Line in Atlanta a few days ago.
1t seems that David Dunlap, driver
for the American Transfer Company,
while driving his wagon loaded with
trunks to the depot, fell dead in his
seat. The horse pulled the load for
two blocks before any one knew that
the animal was being driven by a
corpse. The negro died gripping his
lines tightly.

Handle North Carolina Crop.
A Washington dispatch say: At the
private car line hearing OF the inter
state commerce commission Traffic
Manager Emerson of the Atlantic
Coast Line continued his testimony re-
garding an exclusive contract with the
Armour Car Line for refrigerator
cars. He said there had been loss
to shippers on account of the failure
of the private car lines to supply a
sufficient number of cars to carry the
North Carolina strawberry crop. The
Atlantic Coast Line, he said, does not
assume responsibility for such loss.
Counsel for the Armour lines made
statement that his company had
paid out over eighty thousand dollars
In claims, and that claims for fifty
thousand dollars are now being inves-
tigated. These settlements were made
directly with the shippers, and the
Atlantic Coast Line had no part IN the
settlement.
He said further that If there is any
recourse on the railroad the Ar
mour car line is better able to take
care of it than the shippers.

You .hful lr.ye cuce.

In this day we are undoubtedly
fortunate in that we have lard
aside great deal that was obiec
tionable IN customs and habits
fifty years ago. But have we not
also done away with much that
was very sweet and lovely? One
of the most noticeable, and per-
haps most Objectionable, changes
that has taken place is that the
young person of to day lacks the
respect for age that characteriz.
ed the young person of half a cen.
tury ago. Then the girl who did
not show proper reverence for
the gray-halred man or woman
was considered ill.bred and un.
mannerly. Now, too often, youth
is ntolerant of old age. The mod.
etn girl smiles lofty superiority
at the opinions advanced by her
grandmother, or even by her
mother. She has no patience
with what she terms "old- fash
ioned notions. OF course there
are exceptions to this rule even
in this day of the supremacy of
the young person. There are a
few girls who have not forgotten
the consideration due those who,
although they may not belong to
the advanced school of idea and
beliefs, still merit love and re-
spect, because they have lived
and toiled through the life upon
whose threshold our girls are on
ly standing. The coming woman
would do well to add to her other
accomplishments that of giving a
grateful word to those who have
helped her, and who are always
willing to give her "Godspeed"
on the journey she is beginning.

To Prevent Appendicitis.

If there is any means Of pre-
venting the coming of a dreadful
disease, even to one person the
world should know what that pre-
ventive is. Only those who have
been threatened with a surgical
operation, or who have actually
passed through the experience,
can understand the terror arous-
ed by an attack of appendicitis.
The best physicians appear to
think that surgery is not always
necessary in such cases, but
sometimes 1t is, and whether so
or not it's prevention is of as
great Importance as It's cure.
In the Nineteenth Century for
January, Dr.. Joseph Kidd, a
prominent physician OF London,
gives some mesuggestions worth con-
sidering as means Of preventing
the ravages of this dread disease.
First, he inhiblts purgatives. All
aperient salts, waters or pills
which tend to create violent ac-
ton, and reaction, ne would do
away. Some people are always
taking physic, and hence they
always have to do so, or think
they do. They seem to imagine
that nature does not understand
her own business, and they pro-
pose to allow her no chance to
prove that she does. Secondly,
he recommends slow eating, with
perfect mastication Of food. No
boiling, no hurrying, no washing
down with cold water, or tea, Of
unchewed Jumps. Stop, think.
If you have not time TO eat a full
meal without boltlng 1t, eat half
meal, Or none. Better be hungry
than deathly sick. Thirdly, avoid
drafts when warm, or fatigued.
Avoid them always, but especial
ly when the body is in condition
for easy chilling. A chill arrests
vital action. Both the bowels
and the blood feel it's power. If
the appendix IS slightly lnflamed
from any cause, chill will aggra-
yate the conditions and precipl-
tate dangerous conditions. Ex-
posures. excesses and abuse of
drugs should be studiously avoid.
