Wealth for Minneapolis.
(Minneapolis News)

Grand Army visitors are spending in
Minneapolis double what the like gath
ering spent in Denver one year ago.
This is the judgment of C. F. Gordon,
President of the Minneapolis Dry Goods
Company, who was in Denver during
Grand Army week, and has made care
full comparison.
1t is not the Grand Army men them
selves. They are here for Reunion, not
for shopping, and most of them must
be frugal in their ways. But with them
come multitudes drawn by the Grand
Army or attracted by railroad rates
who do their shopping here.
The stores have been crowded; the
business men have almost been taken
by surprise by the volume OF their
trade.
1t might have been expected. The
visitors are mainly from the Northwest
abounding in prosperity. opulent with
the promise of the years great harvest
Not recklessly, but providently. gen.
erously, they are liberal in their outlay
and find in Minneapolis stores complete
purveying for their wants. In that re-
spect the merchants were not taken un-
awares. Extraordinary demands have
been met by extraordinary equipment.

Deadly south American Reptile.
(From the Pail Mall Gazette.)

1t Is more than 20 years since the
deadly South American snake known as
bushmaster, OF which a specimen has
just reached the Geological Gardens,
was last exhibited by the Society.
For obvious reasons 1t Is difficult to
obtain exact measurements OF live
serpent, but the newcomer appears to
be about nine feet long. 1t Is evidently
partial to moisture, for it has taken
possession Of a stoneware pan filled with
damp moss, which Lad been placed IN
the cage for Its benefit. The ground
color Of its skin is yellowish. and its
markings are In the form Of dark trian-
gular patches.
The scheme of coloration Is bold and
renders the creature very conspicuous
This combination of black and yellow
Is usually present in poisonous reptiles,
and may thus be taken as q signal of
danger. Not only does Its large size
render the surucucu-to give It the Bra
zi.ian name-a most dangerous reptile;
Its poison fangs are enormous and its
bite is quickly fatal. Fortunately for
its neighbour, this deadly monster q
nowhere common.

What Was the Ancient Horse:
(Everybody's Magazine.) }

The horse Is supposed to have been
developed and improved from small
animal preserv a. in no Chicago fash
ion. in the FOSSIL beds Of Wyoming.
Those beds have been investigated this
Summer as thoroughly as If they were
packing g-houses. Somewhere in the Big
Sweetwater Divide and some time in
July was found the skeleton OF a horse,
tall of many hands. and 80 feet long.
Mighty grinders, still mostly undecayed
ornament his stern jawbone. He was a
grass eater, and must have cut a wide
swath in his day. The theory of an
original little primeval ancestor OF
horses is thus destroyed. and all the
paleontOlogists are raking over the Big
Sweetwater Divide.

a EePiIc's Strength.

A correspondent in the current num-
ber of Nature gives very remarkable
illustration OF the strength of a beetle.
4 specimen Of "Aphodius Fossor.
which is about half an inch in length,
having flown in at his window, he put
the lid of q tin box over 1t. but the
beetle walked about bearing the lid on
it's back. He then put the tin box on
the top of the lid. and was absolutely
amazed to find that the insect tilted ~
j corner of the combined box and lid,
and nearly escaped. The weight of the
beetle when dead was half grain
alive it may have been little more;
but the bog and lid weighed 1.75S
grains The feat is comparable to a
man lifting a tolerably large house
without any assistance and the strength
It implies is gigantic.

as Comrade Taylor, he desires us to
publish it.
1--WE are fighting for our country;
We are fighting for our trust:
We are fighting for our native land,
Where sleeps our fathers dust;
1t shall not be discovered.
Though II cost US bloody wars.
For we never will give up the land
Where floats the Stripes and Stars -
(Chorus.)
Hurrah, Hurrah, for equal rights. hur-
rah,
Hurrah for that brave old Flag that
bears the Stripes and Stars.
I'VE treated you as brothers
Until you drew the sword;
With impious hands at Sumter
You cut the silver cord:
So now you hear our bug,es.
We come the sons OF Mars.
Well rally round our brave old Flag
That floats the Stripes and Stars
(Chorus.)
I'VE deem our cause most holy,
For We know we're in the right.
And twenty millions of free men
Stand ready for the fight;
Our bride Is fair Columbia,
No stain her beauty mars:
Der her we'll raise our dear old Flag
That bears the Stripes and Stars"
(Chorus)
And when this war is over,
Well each return to home,
And treat you still as brothers
Wherever you may roam:
Wen pledge the hand of friendship,
And think no more Of wars.
Dwelling in peace beneath that Flag
That bears the Stripes and Stars"

gineering problems in the planning to

sure in the heavy storms of Winter and
Summer. 1t is braced diagonally to
meet these, and the tower is given d
true truss form from foundation to
roof. The general idea is four square
corner towers and a central tower
through which the elevator runs. The
corner towers are Il feet square and
strongly constructed with diagonal
braces. 1t is assumed that the highest
wind pressure will be 30 pounds per
square foot distributed over the whole
face of the building, which VIII give a
total overturHing movement of 12S,0G0
foot tons If the wind blew hard enough
to threaten to overturn il the tendency
of the building would be to lift and to
provide against this the columns are
anchored in caissons. The engineers
are sanguine that even il. the heaviest
storms there will be no perceptible sway
to the building. The work is being
watched with the greatest interest b.
other real-estate men in New York,

higher buildings in the city, where the

has frontage OF 76 feet on Broadway,
and will therefore pack the inhabitants
of small-sized city upon the area %

Longest Bridge Span.

Six miles above Quebec. near the
point where the St. Lawrence at low
water Is somewhat less than 1000 feet
wide, a cantileyer bridge is being built.
It is of the American pattern and steei.
AS Brooklyn Bridge had TO yield the
palm to the Forth Bridge in 1880. so
now the Forth must yield it to the 81.
Lawrence. The central span of the
Canadian bridge IS 1,S00 feet long,
stretching almost from bank to bank
The central suspended girder is 675 feet
long and 130 feet deep at the center.
The width of the anchor spans is 500
feet: of the approach spans, 30 feet.
Two tracks will carry the railroad tTaf-
fic There will be roadways for road
and strcet-car traffic. SO our Canadian
cousins are to have the longest bridge
span in the world

(From the Leeds Mercury.)
Although the assertion recently made
by an Italian sea captain that the power
of sails was increased by their being

been proved that he was right.
His theory was that the force of the
wind cannot fairly take effect on an in
fiated sail because of the cushion of i'm

aAIR TENSION.'

The backbone of the American con-
tinent has certainly had some very
heavy loads laid on it since Columbus
discovered this hemisphere. Consider
able more than 100, 100000 people now
live in North America, where there We're
only a few thousand tramp Indians in
1892. Twenty-eight-story buildings rise
where there were then nothing more
ponderous than Indian teepees. Prob
ably, therefore, it is not to be wondered
at that the backbone of the continent
shifts and buckles at San Francisco and
Valparaiso. Worse than all. probably,
is the "air tension of which scientists
are talking so much, and by which they
account for a host of physical disturb
ances. When Columbus arrived here
the atmosphere's equilibrium was dis
turbed by nothing worse than the war
whoop of the aboriginal financiers. who
gathered in others wealth by means of
stone tomahawks and fiint-headed ar
rows. Think of the inmeasurable in
crease of air pressure the old continent
has had to bear in recent years in the
limitless quantities of hot air of the
highest tension" and dynamic energy
at and from men who have gone for
their victims scalps and property with
trusts, corporations, insurance policies,
savings banks and other deadly devices
of modern invention. Is it any wonder
that the backbone of the continent
shows a tendency TO crumple?
