@ class by itself, It's nearest competitor
being the recently completed Zambezi
bridge in Africa, 400 feet in height.
Just at the point where this bridge
is to stand the abysmal chasm is only
90 feet wide at the bottom and $50
feet at the top. The rugged opposite
walls rise almost vertically, Through
this narrow gorge the waters of the
stream rush with resistless force and
fury.
BY accurate measurement the new
bridge will span the river 2,627 feet
above the water. 1t will be 23O feet
long and % feet wide. The material
will be of fiat steel and steel cables
such as are utilized in suspension
bridge construction. The curved grid
ers that support the structure will
have secure lodgment ut each end in
the granite sides of the canyon. Suffl-
cient space will be cut out of the solid
rock on each side to secure anchorages
that nothing short Of violent earth
quake can loosen.
Singular to say, the floor Of the
bridge will he of plate glass one and
one-half inches thick set in strong steel
framework. This is to afford visitors
an opportunity Of seeing objects-the
stream, walls of the awfu! yawning
chasm below--without becoming dizzy.
On each side Of the bridge will be
high, strong steel ratings, SO that there
will be no possible danger Of any one
falling from this unusual height. One
million dollars Is the estimated cost of
this bridge. Aa

CAUSE OF RHEUMATISM.
Disease Due to overeatins and Lack Of
Sufficient Exercise.

\
Rheumatism, so called, is probably
as common as any ailment one ever
hears Of, and yet II one were to ana
lyze carefully the average case Of rheu-
matism the result would doubtless
show that the disease was something
very different indeed from the real
thing. Almost everybody when suffer
Ing from q slight stiffness Of a joint or
muscular soreness promptly makes
diagnosis Of rheumatism, when In
reality the case is nothing more than
what in technical language is known
as lithaemia, sometimes called Az Il
can gout.
The real disease of rheumatism Is the
result Of an accumulation in the blood
Of imperfectly converted food, princi-
pally uric acid. This accumulation is
due to intemperance in eating and
drinking and insufficient active exer-
else. ,g
Heredity in some cases seems to play
an important part. In the great ma
jority the symptoms follow regular
order, beginning with feeling of full
ness and discomfort after meals, indi-
gestion. nausea and an unpleasant
taste in the mouth, followed by throb-
bing headache, nervous irrltability and
vertigo, muscular pains which may be
confined to one or more muscles or
skip about them one to another. Last
ly and in most cases the most trouble
some Of all symptoms is depression Of
spirits, the patient imagining that he
has all sorts Of ailments. Persons suf-
fering f.'om mental disorder as a result
of this disease bave been known to
commit suicide. Fortunately these
cases are not common, but 1t should
be remembered that they are among
the possibilities.

TEIE SOILS!
Trsatment OF Low or Bottom lands.
0rass That VIII Thrive.

etrcatmoht o. Low or Bottom Eandg.
0rass That VIII Thrive.
Much of our bottom soil In the south
is being abandoned for cultivation on
account os Improper drainage and am
nual damage from oserfiows. We
must learn, first, to utilize them by
having tiling or some kind of under
draining and, secondly, must put them
In pasture or permanent hay meadows.
SO we will have three chances at a crop
Instead of one and that the overfiows
may not wash our soil SO badly. Bot
tom soil has an excess Of humus and
nitrogen In 1t. In fertilizlng 1t phos-
phorlc acid and potash are all that is
needed to apply. s,i5
Soil Analysis,
1t would be well just here to give the
analysis of sandy soil, clay soil aud
bottom soil, SO you can see their rela.
tive constituents:

Per acre. lift. acid lft ashift.
Sandy soil. :. $500 4.s76 51.STl
Clay soil..... S.907 4l11 S7.a56
Bottom soil .eo.5s7 1o87 io62
This shows bottom lands to be espe-
cially deficient in potash. The first es.
sential In handling bottom soil is to
get it drained properly. The majority
Of 1t is sour and sodden. K
An Application of Lime.
An application of lime would help to
counteract this sourness, but getting 1t
properly tiled or otherwise drained SO
the air and sunshine can have their
perfect work will soon get 1t right,
says Southern Cultivator. 1t is known
by all observant men that some plants
have peculiar adaptation to various
kinds and conditions Of soil. So If you
cannot properly drain your bottom soil
SOW 1t In herd grass or some grass that
will thrive on wet lands.

Experience With Manure spreader. :
Ny experience with the manure
spreader teaches me that the modern
method Of applying manure to land is
far In advance OF the old practice. says
writer In Farm and Fireside. In ap-
plying manure with the spreader It Is
put on uniformly, and all parts Of the
field are equally benefited. When the
manure was dumped in piles, Il fire.
quently happened that the work Of
spreading was postponed for some
ff..zie, and the result was that much of
the fertilizing value Of the manure
leached out or was lost through fer
mentadon. The manure spreader not
only saves the plant food elements Of
the manure, but also saves time and
labor, as the work is all done at one
time. 1t does two very important
things and does them well-it thor
oughiy fines the manure and distrib-
utes 1t evenly.
