into account, and its effect provided
for in calculating the wind stresses on
any given span. Our correspondent
is entirely right in supposing that al.
lowance should be made for train sur.
face, and indeed this is always done.
1t was not our intention, in the article
referred to, to cover the whole question
of wind pressure. but merely to draw
attention to the fact that the unit pres
sure adopted has been unnecessarily
large, and to give the process of rea-
soning by which our engineers have ar
rived at the lower figure which III now
likely to be generally adopted. 1t is
probable that in the early days of bridge
designing no account was taken Ut the
great increase in the area of bridge
which takes place when train, or
even a large number Of horse-drawn
vehicles, is crossing bridge. The pro-
portion of the train surface to the bridge
surface, and consequently of the strains
due to each, will of course be very much
larger in the shorter spans. In the
longer bridges the proportion will rap
idly decrease; but it can never reach q
potEt, even in structure of the length
OF the Brooklyn or the Forth bridge, at
which 1t becomes a negligible quantity.
There can be little doubt that it was the
increase Of surface due to the entrance
ofthepassenger train upon the big spans
of the Tay bridge that was the in.raedi-
ate cause Of their being blown bodily
sidewise into the river.

FROM. WEST TO EAST.
ZONE car3pso Facts Which Have
Been Discovered in Connection
With Air Currents.

Such storms In this country com.
monty travel from west to east, across
the continent. and rs they move, they
draw in air from all sides, CARRYING it
up into the higher atmosphere. The
influence of storm may be felt days
before its center arrives. The wind
blows first from the east. as it is drawn
in toward the cehter Near the Attain
tic coast this east wind, saturated with
moisture, gives ont rain as it is car
ried upward.
AS the center approaches. the wind
swings round to the southeast. then to
the south; and southeast and south
winds bring rain to the Mississippi
valley. since they bring moist air from
the gulf.
AS the center passes, the wind turns
to the southwest and west. and COM
monty becomes dry, since it comes OF
the great arid tablelands; and the
rain ceases.
But on the Pacific coast, since the
supply of moisture lies to the west
ward, the west winds are saturated
with moisture, and at some seasons
bring rain. Hence the rain falls after
the center of the storm has passed, in
stead of coming in advance of it.
The rain has seasons, as temperature
has. and while in most parts of the
country the hot season is the dry one
and the cold season the rainy one, in
the Rocky mountains things are re-
versed-the rainy season comes in the
summer. To understand all this we
must go back a little.
1t was stated above that as we go
upward and as we go northward the
air becomes colder. This is true in
general, but in certain cases the rule
is reversed.
In the summer both land and sea
receive heat from the sun, and &C.
cumulate it. The sea is constantly in
motion, and its waves and currents
dispense the heat, carrying it from the
equatorial regions toward the poles,
and so tend to cqualize the tempera-
ture of the water. That about the
equator is not greatly warmer than
that farther north and south.
But with the land there is no way Of
thus equalizing temperature. The land
in the summer becomes greatly heated
and in the winter greatly cooled.
Hence, in the summer, the land il
warmer than the sea in the same lati-
tude, and in the winter cooler
Indeed, lands situated north of tho
sea for long distances, and lands
which are far above the sea, mas be
warmer in the summer than the sea-
and hence cannot condense moisture
from saturated air.SYouth's Com.

returned the salutation to the great

II the cats get in his way, he grasps
them by the tail, giving a severe pinch.
While very friendly with the hens,
If they annoy him, he pulls their feath-

He often stops his masters horse by
saying: whoa, back up!"
When thirsty or wishing to battle, he
will call: Water! Water!"
When he wants worms, he will start
for the garden and say: "Come on.

A Wonderful Discovery.

sensation has been created here BY the
publication of the story of G. w. Gray,
who after special treatment for three
months was PROSTATE and helpless and
given up to die with Bright's Disease.
Bright's Disease has always been consid
cred incurable, but evidently from the
story told by Mr.. Gray, there is remedy
which will cure it even in the most ad-
vanced stages. This 10 what he says:
II was helpless az q little babe. My
wife and l searched everything and read
everything We could find about Bright's
Disease, hoping that would be able to
find a remedy. After many failures my
wife insisted that / should try Dodd's
kidney Pills. praise God for the day
when 1 decided to do SO, for this remedy
met every phase Of my case and in q
short time l was able to get out of bed,
and after few weeks treatment was
a strong, well man. Dodd's Kidney Pills
saved my life"
A remedy that will cure Bright's Dis
ease will cure any lesser Kidney Disease.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the
most wonderful discovery which modern
medical research has given to the world.
