In an address delivered III June last by Mr.
Charles w Burrows of the publishing house of
Burrows Brothers, it was stated that Germany pub
fishes 354 books to each million of her population
France 344 and that about the proportion pre-
walls for Great Britain, Italy, Belgium, Sweden and
Norway Even Russia publishes 85 books for every
million inhabitants, while the Uni ed States pub
fishes but 81 Germany beats us more than four to
one Japan three to one and it is left for US to seek
out poor old benighted Spain to find the only one OF
the civilized countries on the globe thai prints fewer
books per million inhabitants than do And Mr..
Burrows does not stand alone in this opinion. Mr..
A. Growoll in an article in the independent gives
the following figures of the leading countries Ger
many, 1902, 29,906; JAPAN 1885, 2l,255 Russia,
1895, 1885, France 1902 IL 1885, Italy, 1900 9,975;
The United States 1902, 1885, Great Britain, 1902,

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-There is
a possibility that, between the
hours Of and 9 a. m. or 5 and 7
p. m. some day, the public will be
startled with the news of one of
the most terrible calamities in his
tory
This alarming statement is
based upon the words of Vice
President John F, Calderwood, of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Co.,
which leases the railroad facilities
on towering Brooklyn bridge.
This is what Calderwood said:
"While the operating depart
ment is in no way responsible for
the present conditions on Brook
Ign bridge, you can rest assured
that we are keeping the records
in such shape that in the event OF
calamity not only the men who
are in direct connection with this
operation will share it's RESPONSE
bility, but all others who are in
any way responsible for the pres
ent conditions"
The statement was made In ref
erence to the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Co.'S vain effort to contro
the constantly growing traffic or

joins Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Night and morning when the
vast throng of workers are pass
ing to and from their places of en-
ployment $50 elevated cars, each
weighing, empty, $4,000 pounds,
and 800 surface cars. each with a
weight Of $4,000 pounds, pass over
the swaying suspension in the
course of every 60 minutes. 1t is
roughly estimated that the weight
Of these cars, with their, passen-
gers, is more than 100000
pounds.
From time to time for years
there have been alarming reports
that Brooklyn bridge was gradual
ly, though surely, giving way un.
der this terrific strain. Never be-
fore, however, has such an admis.
sion come from an authoritative
| source as Calderwood. Railroad
experts and those employed by the
city have long been put to their
wits end to contrive some meas
| ure of relief.

100000. A third bridge is now in
course of construction and a
fourth projected. A tunnel under
the river is also in course Of con-
struction, but traffic continues to
increase rapidly.
In the course Of each "a hours
no less than half million people
cross Brooklyn bridge. 1t is not
uncommon for $4,000 people to be
upon the bridge at one time during
rush hours.
Engineers declare that the
heaviest strain upon the bridge is
upon the four great suspension
cables, each Is ga inches in diam
eter. The length of each single
wire in these cables is 3,57S feet
and 6 inches. The ultimate
strength of each .cable is estimated
at 10000 tons. Each cable con.
tains 5,296 parallel galvanized
steel oil coated wires, closely
wrapped to solid cylinder. The
permanent weight suspended from
the cables is 1850 tons.

way, according to the speculation
