Testing A Big Bridge.

After being for three years under con-
struction, the large bridge across the Nile
has been completed. 1t connects Cairo
with the island of Rodah, where, according
to tradition, Pharaohs daughter found
Moses in his cot among the rushes.
The Rodah bridge, or, as it is sometimes
named, the Ghizeh bridge (taking the
name from the district it will serve on the
west bank J, has length of l 740 feet and
width of 65 feet. There are II spans
and a swing span of 2O9 feet, which is
turned by an electric motor. When open
this swing gives clear of 20 feet on
either side of its pivot for the passage of
vessels.
The official testing of the bridge took
place on October 9, the whole of the
bridge, span to span, being subjected to a
weight equal to 400 pounds to the square
yard. To make the test the footpaths on
either side were piled up with sand, and
over them couple of locomotives and a
score of wagons ran on an improvised rail-
way. The roadway was occupied by 20
cars, each loaded with large bags of
cement; "A water carts, 20 dust carts filled
with sand, and eight steam rollers. These
were on the bridge for a whole of the day,
and were left stationary over each span,
while the records of DETECTION were made
by Egyptian Government officials.
The test was concluded by sort of
s'gallop past by the whole mass of cars,
water carts, sand carts and steam rollers,
moving as one body at the full speed of
and led by the steam rollers.
Richard Garfield on the Way to Win.
Richard Garfield has abandoned Sara
toga. He says there are no longer any
spenders there, and it is impossible to make
the famous Saratoga Club pay.
Il like Saratoga, he said gloomily the
other day. ~ made my club house and
grounds one of the show places of America.
But, of course, it had to pay. Every
thing must pay-at least in this country.
Everything in the end, comes down to a
question of money.
Mr.. Garfield lighted huge black cigar
and frowned.
Everything must pay, and hence" he
resumed, ''there was truth in the adver-
tisement that young man answered one
day.
"The advertisement said
" How to Win the Girl You Love.
Full and explicit directions sent in sealed,
plain envelope, on receipt of s1.0O.'
''This young man, who loved girl
madly and hopelessly, sent on dollar, and
the answer came to him by return mail.
