BRIDGE OF MAHOGANY.
Valuable Wood Used in Mexican
Structure for Pedestrians and


As mahogany is among the most
costly woods in the world, it may well
be inferred that this tropical ma.
terial is not very extensively employed
in the construction of buildings, etc.
A bridge constructed of solid mahog-
any is certainly a rarity, curiosity.
There is one, claimed to be the only
one in the world, built of that ma
terial. This structure is located in
the Department of Palenque, State
of Chiapas, Republic OF Mexico. This
district lies in the extreme south
western part of Mexico, near the
boundary line of Guatemala.

ed entirely of that valuable wood ex-
cept some iron supports, braces and
nails that are necessary. The bridge
spans the Rio Michol and Its total
length, including approaches, exceeds
$50 feet. while the width il is feet.
1t is used by both teams and pedes.
TRANS and, though somewhat rude and
primitive in construction, it is very
substantial.
None of the timbers of the flooring
were sawed for in that region there
are no sawmills, but were hewn and
split.
In that section of old Mexico there
are several very large rubber plan

common. In clearing away the trop-
ical trees the mahogany growths are
also cut down and removed. AS this
wood is quite abundant. some Of it

CATHEDRAL OF THE sAcRE HEART IN RICHMOND va


laid in 1903. The immense stone pile
occupies an entire block in the heart of
the fashionable quarter of the city, and
facing Monroe Park. At the east end
of the editice Is the organ loft, in which
one Of the largest organs in the coun-
try has been Installed. at the south
end is the choir, surrounded by great
iron grille, and the simple altar. To
the right of the altar, facing the east,
stands the bishops throne and the
stalls for the priests, while on the op-
posite side is set the pulpit. Massive
bronze gates separate the choir from
the transept. The cathedral is lighted
with electricity. There are five affairs
and two chapels.
The actual cost of the cathedral can
only be estimated. On this point the
dignitaries of the church In Richmond
Will not talk. 1t is known, however,
that the statuary in the church, the
gift of Mrs. Ryan personally, cost about
$4,000 Architects and builders who
have looked over the structure say that
the cathedral, including the houses of
the church dignitaries, cost in the
neighborhood of million dollars.

Ways Of Marketing Sheep.

There are three ways of disposing
of sheep for n profit outside of what
may be obtained for wool. The first
is breeding for fat lambs and selling
direct from the mothers, feeding as
largely us possible on succu!ent and
milk producing food. so that the growth
Of the young animal will be quick and
without check.
The second is the breeding of sneep
to be sold in store condition, either as
lambs or Mt more mature age to men
whose sole business is to fatten; the
third is in feeding of full-grown NUT
tons for the butchers.
The third plan has the additional
advantage of adding largely to the fer
tility of the farm, and is business
that in series of years is pretty sure
to pay.

No single subject in architecture
is more generally and anxiously dis
cussed nowadays than the skyscraper.
No construction of iron and stone is
regarded with so much doubt and
pessimism, as necessity but an evil
one.

the sewers too small for the drainage
they have to carry away. 1t is a re-
volt against the laws Of economics,
striving to make profit on little bits
of real estate in spite of their enorm-
GUS cost, and by the very struggle
increasing their value.
1t is an overgrown giant usurping
the dimensions of cathedral, royal
palace, or house OF assembly; a
structure intended to stand alone and
dominate the smaller and humber
things about it; but instead Of remain
ing solitary and digniaed it shoulders
monsters next 1t like mean houses in
row; turns streets into canons,
backyards into wells, cutting off light
and air from all lower STRUCTURES and
from other tall buildings. The sun
refuses to shine into its lower stories,
and even the winds of heaven rebel
against 1t. 1t is the stark and con-
crete expression of the tyranny and
ruthlessness of modern business.
Yet it is here as condition, not
a theory. 1t rises and multiplies in
every city, and many who read these
words have their places of business

To make the best fodder or slower,
corn should be cut before the leaves
are dry and when the stalks are still
succulent, and the corn is just fully
glazed or nearly in the hard stage.
At this time there Is available the
largest food value per acre. 1t has
been found, however, that when the
corn is cut to make the best fodder
there is apt to be slight decrease In
the yield of grain.
The old method of cutting corn by
hand is slow and expensive. The use
of the sled machine Is to be recon-
mended in preference to the hand
knife, while the corn binder reduces
the labor of harvesting and permits
the work to be done more readily and
perhaps at less cost than the other
methods named. have never used the
corn-shocking machine, but where the
practice is to cut up large area each
season this machine would seem to be
preferable to the corn binder.

were larger, but a little later than the
non-irrigated ones. but they brought 2

water should be applied to the burrows

II any little word Of ours

Can make one heart the lighter,

And take our bit Of singing,
And drop 1t in some lonely vale
To set the echoes ringing.

Can make some work the stronger,

Can make its brightness longer,
Then let us speak that thought to-day,
With tender eyes a-glowing,

Shall reap from our glad sowing.
