There is now under construction
across the st. Lawrence at Quebec Il
cantilever bridge which when com
pleted will contain the longest span of
any bridge yet erected, not even eX-
Guiding the great cantilevers of the
Forth bridge in Scotland.
The structure is Of the cantilever
type. and consists Of two approach
spans of 21O feet each. two shore arms,
each 500 feet in length, and Il great
central span. 800 feet in length. The
total length of the bridge Is 1920 feet,
and although In extreme dimensions it
does not compare with the Firth of
Forth bridge. which is about one mile
in total length. it has the distinction of
having the longest span in the world
by ninety feet. the two cantilevers of
the Forth bridge being each Ito feet
in length.
The total width of the floor is eighty
feet. and provision Is made for dou-
blc-tracked railway. two roadways for
vehicles and two sidewalks. In eau
tilever of this magnitude the individual
members are necessarily of huge pro-
portions. the main posts. for instance,
being 325 feet in length, and each
weighing $40 tons.

WORLDS SUPPLY OF PINS.
Complicated Machine Has Greatly
Simplified the Manufacture.

Complicated Machine Has Greatly
Simplihed the Manufactures.
Though the demand for pins the
world over is enormous the mills Of
the United States practically supply
the entire demand says the New York
Herald. Formerly pins were expen-
sive, but now they cost mere trfie.
In 1905 the 75,OO0,0OO people in the
United States used 6O.0OOOOO gross of
common pins, which is equal to $500
oOO.OOO pins. or an average Of about 1876
pins for every man. woman and child
in the country. This is the highest
average reached anywhere in the use
of pins. Ten years ago we used only
about seventy-two pins each.
In single year the total number Of
pins manufactured In the United States
was 6S.SS9.26O gross. The total mum.
Der of pins manufactured in the Unit
ed States during 1900 the census year.
was GS.SS92GO gross. There are forty
three factories in all. with 1858 en-
plOyeS. The business has grown rapid
ly during the last twenty years, for
although there were forty factories in
1880 they produced only half as much.
employed only about half the capital
and only 1O77 hands.
There has been considerable in
crease in the number of women and
children employed in pin factories Of
late years, which Is an indication that
the machinery is being improved and
smplitied and that its operation does
not require SO high an order of mechan-
ical skill. Hooks and eyes are a by
product Of pinmaklng and are produced
at most OF the factories from material
that will not do for pins. The output
Of hooks and eyes in 1900 was 1,131 ,S24
gross.
The automatic machines which turn
out pins and hooks has minimized the
cost of their manufacture till the cost
Is practically only that of the brass
wire from which they are made. A
Angle machine does the whole business.
Coils of wire, hung upon reels. are
passed into machines which cut them
into proper length ana they drop off
into receptacle and arrange them
selves in the line of a slot formed of
two bars. When they reach the lower
end of the bars they are seized and
pressed between two dies. which form

Washington, May 29.-An import
ant conference was held yesterday at
the White House regarding the amend.
ment Of Senator Beveridge, of Indiana.
to the agricultural approx ration bill.
The president discussed the question
with Senator Carter, of Montana. and
Prof. Charles p. Neill. commissioner
Of labor, who investigated certain
packing houses, and later talked over
the matter with Senator Beveridge.
At the conclusion of the conference
Senator Carter dictated the following
statement bearing upon the president 8
attitude:
1.-The meat inspection amendment
placed on the agricultural bill has met
with the opposition of the packers and
their friends, who seem to be bending
every effort to defeat it. The presi-
dent says that if the amendment is ell.
acted into law he will be content to
merely remedy the evils complained of
through the law.
If, however, the amendment is de.
feated he will feel constrained in the
discharge of his official duty to the
public to send to congress the reports
in his possession relating to the abuses
existing in the packing houses
HE feels that it is better to refrain
from making the reports public. not
through airy regard for the beef pack
ers particularly. but because an Off
cial statement of the facts would in
jure the stock raisers of the country.
thus making them innocent victims
of line of abuses for which they were
not primarily in any sense responsible.
1.-The only answer that can be made
to the consumers of our meats at home
and abroad will be the enactment of P
law through which an efficient and
sufficient inspection shall be made.
Senator Carter said that the packers
have asked for time in which to con-
slider the amendment
zone of the principal questions
which they are considering, he said,
lis whether they or the government
shall pay for the inspection service.
It seems a foregone conclusion that
they will decide that Uncle Sam shall
pay for the work"
Senator Beveridge points out that
the expense will not exceed five cents
on a carcass of beef and three cents
on a carcass of hog. While the ag-
gregate expense will be probably 81,
800, 900 year, it will be so widely dis
tributed that it will not fall as bur-
den on the packers.
