CANON CITY, COL, March 6.-Work
was begun today on the highest railroad
bridge in the world. It is to be built
across the top ofthe famous Royal Gorge,
near this city. 1t will be $500 above the

the air that the roaring of the Arkansas
river below will not be heard and the
powerful stream will look like mere
ssbread of silver.

lish an interurban system of electric
railroads in Fremont county from here
to Florence and the top of Royal Gorge.

eide IN ALEXANDRIA HOTEL.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, May 24.-Fred Sop
neider. a German apparently about eighty
years of age. was found dead In the Hotel
F9eisehmann here a O'Clock this afternoon.
The chambermaid who was cleaning up the
fourth story noticed strong smell of gas
and notified Mr. Ffeischmann, who broke
open the door and found the man lying on
the bed dressed only in his underciothng.
He was dead when found, and apparently
had been SO for several hours.
The aged man arrived at the hotel yes
terday afternoon and after paying for a
room. he went directly to It, where. 1t Is
believed. he at once turned on the two jets
of gas. The transom and keyhole had
been stuffed with paper to prevent the es-
cape of the gas.
He was attired in a new gray serge suit
which bore the trade mark OF ]. Gumpel Sc
Son, New York. and black felt hat.
A revolver and $3.50 were found In his
pockets. with a silver dollar cut in two,
which bore the date of 1S7p. A German
newspaper was also found In che room.
Justice Pelton viewed the remains and
decided it was a clear case of suicide, and
the remains were turned over to DeMaine
e. Sons, undertakers.
The suicide Is described as a fine looking
old man. 1t Is not known from whence he
came, as he did not register at the hotel.

A Great Concrete Chimney.
from the Techp,c,I wor,6 Mso.,,r.

Out In Butte, Mont. where the great
stamping mills and re-concentrating worss
have turned the mountain city into a titanic
inferno OF tall chimneys beiching black and
sulphurous fumes, stands one tremendous
tower the top OF which is $50 feet above the
ground.
When its erection was planned, the first
idea was to build It OF brick. That would
have required a thickness OF twelve or mr.
teen feet OF masonry at its base. But a con-
struction engineer from Chicago was called
into consultation. He proposed that the
huge chimney be built of concrete, and with
some misgfvings. the plan was adopted. He
prepared a foundation six feet Deep twelve
by twelve. of concrete, with a number OF
steel reinforcing rods. Beginning at the
ground level. he carried two thin concrete
shells upward for 100 feet. The outer one
Is only nine inches in thickness, while, sepa-
rated by four inches of space from this, Is
an inner shell five inches thick. At hight
seven-inch shell Of concrete which extends
reached.
This chimney. many feet higher than our
modern city skycrapers, Is therefore COM
posed Of but fourteen inches OF concrete ut
the base and half that amount for the upper
$50 feet. 1t Is not Of plain concrete, but IL
reinforced both horizontally and vertically
with number of small steel rods. which
weSe held In place until the concrete had
been deposited around them, making rein
forced concrete body superior in every way
to both steel and brick masonry. There are
In the United States scores OF these won

About Ozone.

Many people talk about ozone with
out so much as knowing what ozone is.
There is a prevalent idea that it is
something you get at the sea and that
1t is good for the lungs. What that
something is, however, few people
have sufficient curiosity to inquire.
Ozone is what chemists call an allo-
tropic form Of oxygen-that is to say,
1T is oxygen in a highly active and
concentrated condition. In ordinary
pure air ozone exists, but only in what
chemists call traces; larger amounts
are found in ocean and mountain air.
1t instantly disappears when brought
in contact with decaying matter, dis
sipating itself, as it were, in the act
of oxidizing that matter. Ozone is
known to occur more plentifully dur
ing thunderstorms, and we have, of
course, the analogy of it's being arti-
ficially produced from oxygen by cleo
trical discharges in the laboratory. On
the body ozone is believed to act as
a stimulant. hence the popular notion
of its beneficial effects as experienced
by the sea-, but in any greater amount
than mere traces it is a violent irri-
tant. One authority goes the length OF
asserting that it is doubtful whether
1t is beneficial to animal life at ALL

THE INDISPENSABLE MAN.

Prudent Business Men Now Get Rid Of
That Pomposity.
Some Of the most successful bust
ness men in this country make it a
rule to dispense with the services of
any man in their employ, no matter
how important his position may be,
as soon as he comes to regard himself
as Indispensable" says Success. This
may seem harsh and even unbusiness-
like; but, if we look into it, we shall
find that there is wisdom in this prac-
tice. Experience proves that, the mo-
ment a man looks upon himself as alb
solutely necessary, he usually ceases
to exercise to the fullest extent the
faculties which have helped him to
rise to that indispensable point. He
becomes arrogant and dictatorial, and
his influence in an organization Is
bound to be more or less demoraliz-
ing. Many concerns have been seri-
ously embarrassed by the conduct@o of
managers, superintendent. or heads
of departments, after they had reached
positions where they thought no one
else could take their places. This
undue appreciation of ones own i'm
portance is as disastrous in its re-
suits as utter lack OF, self-esteem. 1t
is really evidence Of a narrow mind,
and ignorance Of general conditions;
for the man who is up to the times,
thoroughly posted in regard to the
worldwide trend of the twentieth
century, will realize that there are few
people in the world no matter what
their talents or ability. who cannot
be replaced. It is a very rare charac-
ter, indeed, that is im%peratively nee
essary, and the man who actually
reaches this point does not brag Of it,
nor act as If he considered himself
Indispensable"
