ANcIENT SUSPENSION eRIpeEs

Before the Christian Era Began.

They Were Erected In China Centuries
Before the Christian Era Began.
Suspension bridges which were built
in the time Of the Han dynasty (22O B.
G. to 22O A. d. arc still standing, stril1-
ing examples Of early oriental engineer
ing skill. According to historical and
geographical writer's of China it was
Shang Lieng, Kaen Tsu's chief Of COM
mands who undertook to construct the
first public roads in the fowery empire.
At that time it was almost impossible
for the province Of Shense to communi-
cate with the capital Lieng took an
army of ten thousand worlSmen and cut
great gorges through the mountains,
filing up the canyons and valleys with
the debris from his excavations. at
places where deep gorges were trav-
ersed by large and rapid flowing streams
he actually carried out his plan Of
throwing suspension bridges stretching
from one slope to the other.
These crossings, appropriately styled
"Aying bridges" by the Chinese writers,
are high and dangerous looking in the
extreme. At the present day a bridge
may still be seen in Shense which is
four hundred feet long and is stretched
over a ehasm more than a thousand feet
deep. How those early engineers erect
ed such structure with the tools and
appliances at their command IS a mys-
terry to the Omaha World-Herald Most
ancient Chinese bridges are only wide
enough to admit Of the passage Of two
mounted men, ratings on either side
serving to insure the travellers safety.
It aought highly probable that the
missionaries who first reported on the
early suspension bridges of China and
who, of course, gave some idea Of their
plan Of construction, were really the
cause Of that unique species Of bridge
building being adopted by western ma
tions Again we are impressed with

STANDING ARMIES.


Soldiers Don't marry I'm France and Pop
ulation Il Accordingly Decreasing.
I The people Of Europe are being
brought face to face with the cost Of
great standing armies by startling
revelation just made by the collectors
of vital statistics The census shows
that in 1890 the deaths IN France ex-
ceeded the births by 3s, ,440. When the
announcement was first made the doc
tors declared that the phenomenon wps
due to the ravages Of la grippe But
the San Francisco Examiner says an
examination Of the table showed that
the mortality had not been above the
average; it was the decrease in births
which had caused the discrepancy. The
returns show that there has been a
large diminution IN the number Of mar
riages and a decrease Of $4,000 in the
number Of births as compared with the
old average.
This Is the fruit Of a large standing
army. Soldiers cannot marry. They
would not If they could; and If they
could no general would be willing

corps of women. The marriageable
males in France are reduced by
just the number Of men who are con-
scripted for military duty, and the birth
rate falls off in proportion. What is true
Of France is probably true Of Germany
and Italy. In those countries vital sta
tistics are not collected as assiduously as
they are in France If they were
they would probably show that
the population of Germany is receding
even more rapidly than that of its
rival, for Germany has to endure a
heavy annual loss from emigration,
while France loses few Of its people
from that cause.
II thus seems that the financial en-
barrassment brought upon those two
countries by their war policy-which re-
veals itself in both by the labor troubles
that are constantly breaking out in
Paris and Berlin-is only one Of the
evil consequences Of their warlike atti-
tude. They arc not only spending the
substance Of their people and crushing
them beneath an intolerable burden Of
taxation-the one to keep, the other to
regain the spoils Of war-but they are
stopping the fountain which Is the
source Of their strength and greatness
and enduring the penalty Of war with
out chance Of winning its rewards.

Summer, smiling sadly, fed.
Autumn faced Us IN her stead;
Like q joyous matron she
Near her full-stored grauary
Stood among the golden sheavos
In the long, moonIighted ewes.
Tossing us belated roses,
Crimson fruit from orchard closes
Purple grapes for each new conner.
So we did not miss the summer.
Autumn then, grown bent and graE.
Faded from our sight away;
All the red leaves changed 20 brown
All the dead leaves futtered down,
TIL the forests, stripped and bare.
Shivered in the frosty air
Then with icy frontlet sparkling.
Came the winter, stern and darldingiA

Spring, dear spring. WIN fail US mover"

Turning MONDAY into night
When Iife's summer blossoms fada
And life's boughs are naked mada

In good time His healing spring.

Ger the graves Of friend and lover,
To give back from His safe keeping
