An English NInntrnp.

A mantrap has been found in Afford.
Lincolnshire, England, which shows the
barbarity of century or so ago. 1t
is probably the largest mantrap in ex-
istence. 1t is seventy-slx inches In
length, and its jaws. with teeth pro-
trudlng two inches. will open fully two
feet two inches by eighteen inches.
Old time landlords who chose to insist
upon their rights In their entirety. as
they often did. were at liberty to plant
these barbarous engines about in the
underground of their inclosed land for
the benefit of any trespasser or possible
poacher who might chance to set foot
near them. Their use was abolished by
law In 1897.

At present the outlook for the
opening of the district school after
the holidays Is not very encouraging.
This scarletina epidemic is very
disastrous thing for our schools,
which have been closed for six or
seven weeks. During this time the
district is paying full corps of
teachers half salaries, for which we
are not getting one dollars worth of
benefit. This would not be so dis
couraging IL there were any indication
that the disease was being stamped
out, but there is none. and it seems
as il everybody has got to have the
malady anyhow, unless they are nat
urally immune. People who have
wilfully disregarded the quarantine
and broken the rules are largely re-
sponisble for the condition. The
health board is powerless when the
mass of the people are arrayed against
them, as they have been during the
present epidemic.

The towllne was combined with this
suspension cable as a means of cross
Ing streams in the mountains of Hin
dustan at very remote period The
suspension cable, often several hun
dred feet In length, was made of twist
cd fbers or slender stalks of climbing
vines. This was solidly secured to
large trees or masses of roc.;s on the
banks of the chasms to be crossed. On
this cable n wooden block, grooved un-
derneath, was placed, suspended from
which was smallsrude platform or at
times simple loop of rope for the
passenger or baggage. The wooden
block, with its attached load, was pull
ed across the chasm in either direction
by aFtowl.nsr sdstached to the block.
This rude contrivance is the genesis OF
the most refined aerial ropeways Of the
present day and Of the suspension
bridge also, which is, of crude form,
OF very great antiquity.
When the Spaniards first visited Pc.
ri they found suspension bridges which
could be traversed by men and bur.
dened animals. Some Of these bridges
were of over 200 feet span and were
formed of half dozen cables of twist.
ed osiers stsetched from bank to bank
and passed over wooden supports.
These cables we're bound together by
smaller ropes and were covered with
a layer of bamboo, which formed a
support for. the roadway.
