$4,000 FOUND IN

London.-Twenty thousand dollars
worth of Bulgarian bank notes have
been found in a box buried under the

NEW YORK CONFRONTED
WITH BRIDGE PROBLEM

Although the various projects for
the construction of a railroad bridge
across the Hudson river have been
abandoned. it is not improbable that
a highway bridge for automobile,
trolley car, and general vehicular
traffic will be built at site located
near the upper end of Manhattan Is
land, where it will be possible to find
a location at which the piers of the
structure can be brought much nearer
together than is possible lower down
the river. If the main span could
be shortened and the terminals be
located where the cost of real estate
is not prohibtive, the successful fl
nancing of such a structure should
present no insuperable difficulties. A
joint bridge commission, representing
the states of New York and New Jer-
sey, which has the matter in hand,
has tentatively proposed the location
of the crossing at 117th street in the
Harlem district.-Scientific American.

LIFTING MAGNET PROVES
A VERITABLE WIZARD

Lifting magnets are being used
quite extensively in some Of the large
machine-tool plants of the middle
west. These magnets are not only
employed for handling iron and steel
castings, but also for cleaning up the
small particles of metal from the
floor or even from the yard around
the plant. They are suspended from
locomotive cranes and moved about
the yard close to the ground. The
amount of steel and iron they collect
is astonishing Often pieces that have
disappeared are resurrected by the
magnet sometimes showing that they
were purposely buried to hide mis-
takes of the employees.
