WIND PRESSURE OF BRIDGE
Surface Resistance an Important Fac
tor In the Safety Of Con-
structiou.

Referring to cur recent discussion
OF the question Of the proper amount
or wind pressure to provide for in
bridges, correspondent. draws our
attention 70 the fact that no mention
was made of the extra surface which
is presented to the wind when train
moves onto a bridge. He asks. says
the Scientific American, whether this
surface should not always be taken
into account, and its effect provided
for In calculating the wind stresses on
any given span. Our correspondent
is entirely right In supposing that al
lowance should be made for train sur
face, and indeed this Is always done.
1t was not our intention, in the article
referred to, to cover the whole question
of wind pressure, but merely to draw
attention to the fact that the unit pres
sure adopted has been unnecessarily
large, and to give the process OF rea-
soning by which our engineers have ar
rived at tie lower figure which is now
likely to be generally adopted. 1t Is
probable that in the early days of bridge
designing no account was taken of the
great increase In the area of a bridge
which takes place when a train, or
even q large number of horse-drawn
vehicles is crossingsa bridge. The pro-
portion OF the train surface to the bridge
surface, ana consequently of the strains
due to each, will of course be very much
larger in the shorter spans. In the
longer bridges the proportion will rap
idly decrease; but II can never reach q
point, even in structure of the length !
OF the Brooklyn OF the Forth bridge, ar |
which 1t becomes negligible quantity. |
There can be little doubt that 1t was the |
increase of surface due to the entrance |
OF the passenger train upon the big spans
OF the Tay bridge that was the immedi-
ate cause Of their being blown bodily
sidewise into the river.

A. III. ZECHIEL, representative OF
the Anti Saloon league, of Appelton,
sent two Lawrence university students
into saloon to purchase liquor The
young men appeared to be of age but
were not. The liquor was given the
boys by a bartender, but Bach, the
saloon keeper was arrested on the
charge of selling liquor to minors. The
defense set up that Bach had instructed
his help not to sell liquor to minors.
Judge Goodland, before whom the trial
was had, decided that the proprietor
could not be held for the act of an
employe whom he had forbidden to sell
liquor to minors. The case will be
carried to the supreme court.

Pretend to Marry.

In Russia every woman of the peas
ant class marries, or pretends to
marry If girl comes to the de-
cision that no one intends to ask her
to marry. she leaves home, goes to
some distant district and returns afte.'
a time to announce that she is a
widow, that she went away to be mar
ried, and that her husband has since
died No embarrassing questions are
put to her, for among the peasants
it is considered bad form to mention
dead man to his widow. This Curl
Gus custom goes to show in what high
regard the women of Russia look upon

That the opera was so well rendered
reflects great credit upon Miss Strouse
supervisor of music of our city schools
and the city is to be congratulated upon
having her for another year.
The story of the opera was as follows,
PART FIRST.
The milkmaids' greeting to the early
morning is answered by the farmer
boys on their way to the field, and the
tinkling bells from the pasture lands
join in the merry refrain.
The Farmers Brigade are out in
early training; the Village Judge passes
that way, adjusts matter and departs
with best wishes TO all as the Three
Jolly Farmers appear, and the maids
are off to the milking.
The Commodore takes advantage of
circumstances, is surprised by the Doc
tor, but, being "a man of wonderful
brain and nerve power he eludes his
prosecutor. The Dairy Queen comes in
from her morning walk in time to well
come the maids who return with flow
ing pals.
Dorothy relates her morning adven-
ture. receives kindly advice. when the
Indian fortune teller appears with
startling revelations. as the farmer boys
return from the fields amid hearty
demonstrations of welcome
PART SECOND.

court, preaIing many comments and
much laughter The cast of characters
for the play was as follows:

The comical way in which the play
was rendered created much laughter
and applause.
The PILoT can hardly go into the
details of the play and take up each
character as it was represented, for
each one was star in his or her parti-
cular part and all that could be said
was that they carried out the roles
assigned them to perfection, and are
therefore to be congratulated The
success of the entertainment was very
pronounced, and Miss Daisy Rogers,
teacher of vocal expression, is entitled
to great credit for her untiring efforts in
training the seniors who were in the
cast. Misc Rogers is very able teacher
OF efocution and the good she has done
the Wansau public schools the past
year cannot be estimated That she
has accepted the position for another
year is pleasure to our people in
general.
After the play the Chariot Race
from Ben Hur was given by Miss Jean
nette Wilson. Miss Wilson did SPLEEN
didly and she well deserved the
applause that was given her.
To Miss Margaret Murray fell the
task of ascertaining the Glass w ants. 2
and in this seemed to have been very
successful, for none of the class of forty
four escaped having their wants aired.
The paper fairly sparkled with wit and
sarcasm and it was enjoyed by the aud
fence as well as by the class, asS their
pleasure was demonstrated By pro-
longed applause

MUELLER & QUANDT
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-03-13

Come in!' cried Sapt, whose marvel Ous composure had at last almost given ! way. We rushed down the passage toward the cellars. The door of the coal cellar stood wide open.
 "They found the old woman," said I. "You might have known that from the handkerchiefs," he said. Then we came opposite the door of the wine cellar. It was shut. It look ed in all respects as it had looked when we left 1t that morning.
 "Come, it's all right" said I. A loud oath from Sapt rang out. His face turned pale, and he pointed again at the floor. From under the door a red stain had spread over the floor of the passage and dried there. Sapt sank against the opposite wall. I tried the door. It was locked.
 "Wheres Josef?" muttered Sapt. "Where's the king?" I responded. Sapt took out a flask and put it to his lips. ran back to the dining room and seized heavy poker from the fire place. In my terror and excitement rained blows on the lock of the door, and I fired a cartridge into it. It gave way, and the door swung open.
 Give me a light" said I, but Sapt still leaned against the wall.
 He was. of course, more moved than I, for he loved his master. Afraid for himself he was not-no man ever saw him that--but to think what might lie in that dark cellar was enough to turn any mans face pale. I went myself and took silver candlestick from the dining table and struck light, and as I returned felt the hot wax drip on my naked hand as the candle swayed to and fro so that I cannot afford to despise Colonel Sapt for his agitation.
 I came to the door of the cellar. The red stain, turning more and more to a dull brown, stretched inside. walk ed two yards into the cellar and held the candle high above my head. I saw full bins of wine; I saw spiders crawling on the walls; I saw, too, a couple of empty bottles lying on the floor, and then, away in the corner, I saw the body of man lying flat on his back with his arms stretched wide and crimson gash across his throat. I walked to him and knelt down be- side him and commended to God the soul of faithful man, for it was the body of Josef, the little servant, slain in guarding the king.
 I felt a hand on my shoulder and, turning, saw Sapt's eyes, glarins and terror struck, beside me.
 1.-The king! My God, the king!" he whispered hoarsely.
 I threw the candles gleam over ev- cry inch of the cellar.
 'The king is not here," said I.

The position flashed on me. Whether Michael knew me or not he could not speak. Unless he produced the king. what could he do? And if he produced the king, where was he? For a mo- ment was carried away headlong, but in an instant the difficulties came strong upon me.
 T must be found out" urged.
 Perhaps, but every hours some thing. Above all, we must have a king in Strelsau or the city will be Michaels in four and twenty hours, and what would the kings life be worth then-or his throne? Lad, you must do it!"
 Suppose they kill the king?"
 "They'll kill him If you don't"
 "Sapt, suppose they have killed the king?'
 "rhen. by heaven, you're as good an Elphberg as Black Michael. and you shall reign in Ruritania. But I don't believe they have. nor will they kill him if you're on the throne. Will they kill him to put you in?'
 It was wild plan--wilder even and hopeless than the trick we had already carried through, but as I listened to Sapt saw the strong points in our game. And then I was young man. and loved action, and was offered such a hand in such game as per haps never man played yet.
 T shall be found out" I said.
 Perhaps" said Sapt. Come! To Strelsau! We shall be caught like rats in trap if we stay here"
 "Sapt," cried, "I'll try itv'
 "Well played" said he. t'I hope they've left us the horses. I'll go and see"
 We must bury that poor fellow" said I.
 No time" said Sapt.
 sI'll do it."
 "Hang you" he grinned. "I make you king, and-well, do it. Go and

"Thank God, sire! You're sute!" fetch him while I look to the horses. He can't lie very deep, but doubt If he'll care about that. Poor little Josef! He was an honest bit of a man." He went out, and I went to the eel Jar. I raised poor Josef in my arms and bore him into the passage and thence toward the door of the house. Just inside laid him down. remem- bering that must find spades for our task. At this instant Sapt came up.
 "The horses are all right. There's the own brother to the one that brought you here. But you may save yourself that job"
 I'll not go before he's buried"
 "Yes, you will"
 "Not I, Colonel Sapt, not for all Ruri. tania."
 "You fool"' said he. Come here." He drew me to the door. The moon was sinking, but about 300 yards away, coming along the road from Zenda, I made out party of men. There were seven or eight of them. Four were on horseback, and the rest were walking, and saw that they carried long imple- ments, which I guessed to be spades and mattocks, on their shoulders.
 They'll save you the trouble" said Sapt. Come along"
 He was right. The approaching par ty must beyond doubt be Duke Nil chael's men. come to remove the traces of their evil work. l hesitated no longer, but an irresistible desire seized me. Pointing to the corpse of poor little Josef. said to Sapt:
 Colonel, we ought to strike . blow for him.
 You'd like to give him some com pany, eh? But it's too risky work, your majesty" T must have a slap at 'em," said I.
 Sapt wavered.
 Well" said he. tits not business, you know; but you've been a good boy and if we come to grief, why, hang me. it'll save us lot of thinking! I'll show you how to touch them" He cautiously closed the open chink of the door. Then we retreated through the house and made our way to the back entrance. Here our horses were standing. A carriage drive swept all around thu. lodge.
 Revolver ready?- asked Sapt. .No. steel for me- said
 "Gad, you're thirsty tonight" chuc- kled Sapt "So be it."
 We mounted. drawing our swords. and waited silently for a minute or two. Then we heard the tramp of men on the drive the other side of the house. They came to a stand and one cried:
 Now. then. fetch him out.- 'Nov- whispered Sapt. Driving the spurs into our horses. we rushed at a gallop round the house. and in a moment we were among the ruffians. Sapt told me afterward that he killed a man. and I believe him. but saw no more of him. With a cut I split the head of a fellow on a brown horse. and be fell to the ground Then I found myself opposite a big man. and was half conscious of sn- other 10 my right It was too warm tO stay. aud with a simultaneous sc- ton I drove my spurs into my horse again and my sword fuiI into the big mans breast.

 They've got the king"' "Yes," said I, calls well" as Black Michaeps dispatch said. What mo- ment it must have been for him when the royal salutes were fired at Strel- sau this morning! I wonder when he got the message? s. Ut must have been sent in the morning." said Sapt. "They must have sent 1t before news of your ar rival at Strelsau reached Zenda-I sup pose it came from Zenda."
 And he's carried it about all day" I exclaimed. "Upon my honor, I'm not the only man who's had trying day! What did he think, Sapt?'
 What does that matter? What does he think. lad, now:"
 I rose to my feet.
 I've must get back" I said. "and rouse every soldier in Strelsau. We ought to be in pursuit of Michael be- fore midday"
 Old Sapt pulled his pipe and care fully lit 1t from the candle which gut tered on the table.
 "The king may be murdered while we sit here" I urged.
 Sapt smoked for a moment in silence.
 That cursed old woman" he broke out. "She must have attracted their attention somehow. I see inc gane. They came up to kidnap the kirg, and as I say-somehow they found him. If you hadn't gone to Strelsau. you and I and Fritz had been in heaven by now.'
 And the kingT
 "who knows where the king is now:' he asked.
 Come; let's be off," said I. But he sat still, and suddenly he burst into one of his grating chuckles.
 By love, we've shaken up Black MichaelI''
 Come, come" I repeated impatient ly.
 And we'll shake him up a bit more." he added, a cunning smile broadening on his wrinkled. weather beaten face and his teeth working on an end of his grizzlei mustache. Aye, lad, we'll % back to strelsau. The king shall be in his capital asain tomorrow"
