high water has been over 40 feet. The river,
which has very variable current, holds much
matter in suspension, and even its bed is in
constant motion.
Captain Eads, the designer Of the bridge,
went down in a divingbell, and found mov-
ing current of sand below quite yard IN
depth. AT low water this bottom rises; but
as the stream fills scour sets in, and the bed
is quickly deepened; while in winter the river
is closed by huge cakes of ice, which freeze
together into great fields. The only safety
for the bridge, therefore, lay in getting down
deep enough to build the foundations on the
underlying rock.
Another notable bridge is that of the Gin
cinnati Southern Railroad across the Ken
tucky River, which runs through canyon
100 feet wide and 275 feet deep, in which it
has been known to rise as much as 40 feet in
single night.
There are three spans, each of 375 feet,
carrying the railroad 276 feet above the river.
piers are of stone to height of 60 feet to
clear the highest floods, and on them the iron
framework is built. Each iron pier is 1T
feet high, and consists of four legs, termi-
mating at the top in turned pin a foot in
diameter under each of the two trusses The
trusses were built out on each side until they
joined in the centre and at the bluffs. When
the junction was made they were continuous,
but to avoid the constant strains it was in
geniousy decided to cut the bottom chords
of the side spans and convert them into slid
ing joints at points rs feet distant from the
iron piers.
The expansion and contraction of the bridge
operates each way from the centre, bending
the tops of the piers toward or away from
the bluffs. The ends of the girder rest on
rollers at the abutments, and can travel three
inches under changes of temperature.

Brid6es and Bridge Building

ciple as that Of the injector in steam boilers
Some caissohs have been sunk to enormous
depths. In building the great railroad bridge
across the Mississippi at st. Louis, one went
down more than hundred feet below the
water line But this is not the greatest dcpth
of bridge foundation building, by any means.
In Australia depth Of 175 feet was reached

principle of the coffer.dam extended, section

In the Lachine Bridge, near Montreal. the
eanilleVer I principle has also been applied. The
channel spans, each of 40S feet. These spans
and the spans next to them form cantileyers,
and were built out from the central pier with,
out the use of false works" in either channel.
OF different principle is the great bridge
across the Mississippi at st. Louis. There
are three steel arches, the centre having a
span of 500 feet, and the side arches having
one of 5O2 feet. Each span has four parallel
arches, each arch being composed of cyln-

Snakes have been unusually plentiful in

boy went out after berries, and not being
very successful, he climbed an apple tree for
fruit. While eating an apple, as he sat astride

up to the treetrunk, and it seemed to the
boy as if they wanted him. They couldn't
climb the tree, SO they camped out under it,

The boy sat on the limb about half an hour

home to Lauterbrunnen. Instead of taking
the route of the Tschingel Pass he chose the
shorter one across the glacier, between the
Matterhorn and the Tschingelhorn, and there
he fell into crevasse. There he remained
for seventy-two hours, apparently without
any means of escape. His axe and alpen-
stock fell from his grasp when he stumbled,
To add to his misery, although he had bag
of provisions on his back, he was so tightly
jammed between the walls of ice that he
could not get at it, and could only assuage
his thirst by licking the ice with his tongue.
He fell into the crevasse on Sunday morning,
and on Wednesday morning, as German
tourist, with a guide, was crossing the gla-
cier, he noticed the ice-axe on the edge of
the crevasse, peered down and saw poor Linda
at the bottom. Even then it was with great
very heavy man, and it was necessary to
send for tackle and assistance before they
could haul him out No one will be surprised
to hear that the unlucky guide was frostbitten.
The wonder is that he was not frozen to
death. But, as matter of fact, he was again
acting as guide within a month.

The Regulation of Warfare.
While various peace propositions
have been under consideration by CON-
mittees of The Hague conference, it
should be understood that no decision
is final until adopted unanimously at a
full plenary session of the conference
Such a session was held Sept. Z, when
q large number of rules were adopted
relating to the regulation of warfare.
One of particular interest to the small
er powers was that the territory Of
neutral should be ztnviolable and that
such state may protect its neutrality
by force without committing hostile
act This principle had already been
recognized in practice, but now be-
comes embodied in International law.
The right Of asylum is also defined so
that If prisoner who has once reach
ed neutral ground should be recap
tured he must be set free. Another
rule follows practice in not permitting
volunteers to be enlisted In neutral
territory or body of filibusters organ
lied. Belligerents are also forbidden
to esta blish wireless telegraph stations
or other means Of communication in
neutral territory. The expectation Of
provisions from neutral states to bel
ligerent ports is forbidden. Finally
the rule was adopted that hostilities
must not begin without previous un-
equivocal notice in the form either Of
a declaration of war, setting forth its
motives, or of an ultimatum accompa-
MED with a conditional declaration Of
war, and a state Of war must be mott
fed without delay to neutral powers.

an attack upon the Moorish camp. The
Arab commander made a gallant de-
Tense, but his forces were compelled
to flee, and his camp was burned. 1t
was expected that the French would
continue the advance into the interior.
