QUEBEC DISASTER CAUSE.
Chord Which CrumpIed Under 5000
Tons Pressure Vas Too Light.

That tho recent collapse of the great Quebec
bridge causing the death Of tourscore wcrkmen,
was due to a chord. glrder. on the undersde OF
the bridge which was too light in design, is the
conclusion Of the editors of THE Scientific Ameri-
can" In the current issue of that journal they
show by careful analysis and comparison with the
size of chords in other bridges intended to per-
form a similar Office that not only was the margin
OF capacity above the load this chord was expected
10 bear insufficient, but that It did not bear the
load il was expected TO support because II was not
sufficiently braced.
The column or girder whose failure caused the
bridge TO crumple 81 feet long, and in cross
section feet inches by feet inches. IL was
made of four plates of steel. These were joined
together at their edges by solid plates at the ends
and steel lattice work in the centre. The object
of the lattice work was to bind the four plates
together in the centre stiffly that they could
not bend or buckle, the same principle that a
walking stick, which will bend under weight
when unsupported in the middle will remain per-
fectly straight if there is something In the middle
to hold 1t in position.

Master Tommy. a boy of four. has developed an

old lady living Tommy who is very fond

into the little fellows pockets.
Tom had nearly exhausted his ingenuity in hint

Conditions in the South American countries
differ from those in the United States to such
an extent that it can hardly be expected the city
OF Washington will ever have national institu-
ton of higher education predominating over all
others as the universities at Lima or Santiago
predominate over local institutions. Any ma
tional university at Washington must supple
ment rather than supplant other collegiate in
stitutions, and II must be endowed by private
initiative. not by the national government At
the same time it is not remarkable that Span
ish Americans coming TO this country are sur
pTlsed that more use is not made by advanced
students of the libraries and museums with
which the national capital is so plentifully SUD-
piled. Indeed, John Barrett. director Of the In
ternational Bureau OF American Republics in
this city, says that he has been told by many
prominent men that a national university in
Washington providing facilities for instruction
ana research in the political sciences would
speedlly become a great international univer-
slty- The people of the Latin American coun-
tres are particularly interested IN political and
judicial subjects and their national universities
send many STUDENTS each year TO Paris or to
Germany for instruction which cannot he given

would prefer to come TO Washington.
