THE WORLDS
FAMOUS BRIDGES.

Bridges have played an important
part in history, and from the days
when Trajan built the bridge across
the Danube there has been a steady
development in the perfection of these
structures.
One of the most peculiar bridges in
the world is the tubular suspension
bridge across Menai Strait. This
bridge consists of two lines of immense
tubing. each fifteen hundred feet long,
supported by three granite towers be-
side the shore abutments This
strange bridge is one hundred feet
above the sea and weighs eleven thou
sand tons
The famous Niagara suspension
bridge was begun in 1852 and COM
pleted in 1855. It is two hundred and
forty-five feet above the water and
eight hundred and twenty one feet
long.
The Forth bridge over the Firth of
Forth, near Edinburgh, has two canti-
lever spans each seventeen hundred
and ten feet in length, the longest in
the world. The total length of this
structure is one and four-seventeenths
miles, and there was fifty-one thousand
tons of steel used in its construction.
The frst-cast-iron bridge in the
world was the Coalbrookdale bridge,
England, which was built in 1873
The famous Brooklyn bridge was be-
gun in 1876, and not finished in nearly
seventeen years Its total cost was
about fifteen million dollars.
There have been several London
bridges. There was one at the end of
the tenth century, and another in 1914
built of wood In 1176 Colechurch be-
gan stone bridge across the Thames,
which was not finished until 1909.
The new London bridge was begun in
1924 and completed in seven years at
he cost of one and a half million dol
ars.

till late hours under the excitement of
the gambling fever. That the unnat-
ural excitment had its influence on the
offspring of the gambler and bred in
them the unnatural appetites and de-
bilitated physiques.
The baneful effects of the social evil
was strongly and forcibly pictured to
his hearers. He told of the awful dis
eases contracted by the young men
diseases which pulled them down ply
sically, disspirited and unspirited
them and brought them to a weakened
manhood, old before their time. And
these diseases bred on and on, and
the sins of the father are visited upon
the children even to the third and
fourth generation, breeding moral and
physical weaklings He told of the
fearful conditions revealed to him by
the doctors of Louisville resulting from
the ravages of the social evil and said
one of the shocking truths of today
was the unfaithfulness among married
men. That he believed the man, who
would leave the side of a pure wife
for the society of degraded, unchaste
woman and would then return, bring
ing disease to his wife and chill
dren, was worse than a MUIR
derer, and if he was on a
jury, he would vote to have him hung
as quickly as he would the vilest MUIR
derer. He said he prayed for the day
when the men of the country would
rise up and demand that men keep in
violate the marriage vow.
At the close of the sermon Mr.. Gates
asked all who endorsed his views to
say amen" and the response came
from almost the entire audience. He
then asked that all who would pledge
themselves to use their best efforts
to drive the saloon and bawdy houses
from Columbia, to stand up and wave
their handkerchiefs. The men arose
almost as one,-irrespective of
whether they were church members or
not, and promised their support.
About eighteen manly men Wen
forward and asked for prayers.
At the service at night, the largest
congregation of the meeting attended.
Every available seat was taken, while
several hundreds stood and other hun
dreds turned away, unable to even get
standing room. Mr.. Gates was given
close attention and at the close of
the service about thirty-ive went for
ward for prayers. 1t had been ar
ranged to bring the services to a
close Sunday night, but the deep in
terest shown, led to the decision to
continue the services through today;
and at the service this morning it was
decided to continue until Saturday.
At the service Sunday afternoon, a
subscription of about $500 was taken
up for the expenses of the meeting,
and at the night service an additional
of $500, was received.
