European bridges of this generation
have been designed with some refer.
ence to their surroundings and are
seldom conspicuously unattractive.
Across the Seine at Paris are S2 i'm
portant bridges, hardly any of which
are less imposing than the best yet
completed In America. These include
the most celebrated of all, the Point
Notre Dame, erected in 1900, and the
latest of all to be built, the exposition

spiration to thousands of visitors at
the last great Paris exhibition. Many
Americans at that time perceived the
possibility of good bridge-building in
accordance with modern methods.
The new west Boston bridge will be
a pioneer in giving expression to that
perception.

Given wide stretch of water with,
on the one side, a hill covered with
high buildings and on the other an
esplanade soon to be lined with
apartment houses or possibly with edu-
cmational institutions, the bridge
must be massive to create any posi-
tive impression at all, and a certain
swelling bignes of effect is what City
Engineer Jackson of Boston and
Edmund M. Wheelright, former city
architect, who drew the plans, evident
ly had in mind. The bridge is COM
posed of IL spoons of steel arches with
graceful curves between IL piers OF
granite, the spans varying in length
from 101 to 1873 feet. The two center
pieces, as is the custom with most of
the ornamental bridges of the world
are by far the heaviest. When com
plete, they will carry four granite col.
umns, around the top of each will ap

SAN FRANCISCO.

Serene, Indifferent to Fate,
Thou sittest at the Western Gate;
Upon thy heights so lately won
Still slants the banners of the sun;
Thou seest the white seas strike their
tents,
o Warder of two Continents!
And scornful of the peace that flies
Thy angry wind and sullen skies,
Thou drawest all things, small OF
great,
To thee, beside the Western Gate.
o lions whelp, that hidest fast
In jungle growth of spire and mast.
| know thy cunning and thy greed,
Thy hard high lust and wilful deed,
And all thy glory loves to tell
OF specious gifts material.
Drop down, o fieecy Fog, and hide
Her sceptic sneer, and all her pride.
Wrap her, o Fog, in gown and hood
OF her Franciscan Brotherhood.
Hide me her faults, her sin ano
blame;
With thy great mantle cloak nei
shame!
So shall she, cowled, sit and pray
Till morning bears her sins away.
Then rise, 0 fleecy Fog, and raise
The glory of her coming days;
Be as the clouds that fieck the seas
Above her smoky argosies.
When forms familiar shall give place
To stranger speech and newer face;
When all her throes and anxious
fears
Lie hushed in the repose of years;
When Art shall raise and Culture
lift
The sensual joys and meaner thrift
And all fulfilled the vision, we
Who watch and wait shall never see
Who, in the morning of her race,
Tollod fair or meanly in our place
But, yielding to the common lot,
Lie unrecorded and forgot.

FRANkING PRIVILEGE is GOLD.
English Commoners the First to Ship

London Misunderstanding had
its birth, honestly enough, in 1860 in

from old postofice records testifies:

maid servants going as laundresses to

stockings for the use of the ambas-
sador to the crown of Portugal; deal

cation, but it speedily gave place 70

them away to their friends and some

tanned from dealers, but three year
old plants are the most satisfactory
for immediate effect, although all
grow rapidly. After choosing the
location OF the plants, the soil should
be deeply spaded, enriched as describ-
ed, and the plants carefully set out
and watered, care being taken to see
that the ground is well drained. This
vine is excellent for covering stone
or brick walls, or boundary fences,
especially In city. Old tree
stumps may be transformed into beau
tiful objects, by clematis climbing
over them. Unsightly rock piles are
easily hidden by it, house pillars
covered, or porches screened in to
shut off Objectionable views. The
luxuriant glossy green foliage, the
clear, trim, appearance, it's rapid
growth and the myriads of dainty
stars of delightful perfume, are
points Of merit. At night the entire
vine presents the appearance of snow
capped foliage, so numerous are the
dainty star shaped flowers. The
vine should have all dead wood cut
out each year and each spring before
growth begins it should be pruned
back to the main growths. If this
is looked after and the soil is kept
rich it, will grow luxuriantly.

SURVEY OF ouNNIsoN CANYON.
Perlous Feat of Rs!ws,
Engineer.

Engineer Fellows went into the can
yon with one companion, young
mountaineer, and an inflated mattress
no boat could stand the trip. The
mattress bore their instruments and a
few provisions and gave them, besides.
enough support to swim with; it
could not carry their weight.
The record of the trip rivals that OF
Maj. Powell's famous reconnaissance
of the Grand Canyon Throughout,
they had almost no rest, and almost
no respite from danger. BY night
they caught a few hours sleep, half
drenched and half frozen. BY day
they were in and out of the water
half dozen times an hour, dragging
mattress and kit over great powders,
edging dizzily along the rock-face or
shooting rapids, clinging to the mat
tress for dear life, half choked in the
wild rush for water. One particular
stretch of 10 miles took them four
days to traverse
The point of the feat is that tney
were not exploring, but surveying;
marking every foot of their progress
with the instruments, scanning
every turn of the rock wall for tun-
mel site.
The climax came at a point where
the canyon turned abruptly at right
angles. BY the little beach where
they landed to take counsel. the
water slid with gathering speed,
struck the opposite wall roaring and
foaming and disappeared around the
bend. What happened beyond the
bend they didn't know; they didn't
want to. But they seemed destined to
find out. Only a fly could scale the
canyon wall; even snake could not
return against that current They
took five minutes to make all fast
They were surprised to find that those
five minutes had not turned their hair
gray. Then they pushed off and the
current took them. They were
whirled through a momentary hell of
water and thunder, and shot out into
las quiet a little pool as ever lay in
the shadow of a cliff.
On the 18th day they met ship
wreck in earnest The mattress, the
provisions and most Of the instru-
ments went down stream in decimal
fractions But the survey was prac-
tically complete. Fellows Lad chosen
two tunnel sites. and the records
were safe in oilskin wrappings next
mis- body. They struggled on, starved
and exhausted, and reached heDevirs
Slide, the sole exit from the canyon.
