The Cantilever Bridge.

A cantilever bridge is one in which
q girder or continuous truss is Sc
curely anchored at the shore end. and
extends over and beyond supports
ON each side of the stream. These
arms. or cantilevers. in turn support
. central span or truss. this form of
bridge being especially useful where
the erection Of supporting falsework
under the river spans would be diff
cult or impossible. Its entire pacti-
cabilfty was demonstrated on a large
scale in 1875, when the so-called
Kentucky viaduct was completed, and
since then the principle has been APP
piled to bridges at Niagara, Mem
phis. st. John, N. B., across the Firth
or Forth, and over the Hudson at
Poughkeepsie - to name the most
conspicuous. And the Quebec bridge

The Heart of Louis XIV.

Labouchere's Truth now and then
has some strong stories. And here
Is one OF them: During the French
revolution, canon of st. Denis gave
to an ancestor of Sir William Har-
court the heart Of Louis XIV, which
he said he had extracted from it,
casket at the time the royal tombs
were demolished by the mob. It re-
sembled small piece of shriveled
leather. an inch or so long. Many
years afterward the curiosity was
shown to the late DR.. auckland, dean
OF Westminster. during VISIT to the
Harc0urts. DR.. auckland was very
old then. He bad some reputation rs
. man Of scie4ce, and the scientific
spirit moved him to wet his finger,
rub It on the heart, and put the finger
to his mouth. After that, before he
could be stopped, he put the heart in
his mouth and swallowed 1t, whether
by accident or design will never be
known. Very shortly afterward the
dean died, and was buried in West
minister Abbey. 1t il impossible that
he. could ever have digested the

AN AGED BRITISH TREE.

One of the Oldest of British trees
Is the Cowthorpe oak, which has been
standing near Wetherby in Yorkshire
for 500 years, according to veracious
chronicle. It is tree that has been
described often and has figured in
works Of fiction.
It is related of this tree that on
occasion as many as forty persons
have been gathered within the hollow
of its trunk, although it must be con-
fessed that some of these were chill
dren. The most recent measurement
showed that it's girth of trunk at the
ground was fifty-four feet three in
ches and the cavity was eleven feet
by nine feet.
The tree is not now SO very tall,
reaching only thirty-seven feet into
the air. There are twenty-five props
about the tree to support the falling
branches.
The cavity has been noticeable only
since the beginning of the nineteenth
century. Many of the earlier meas
urements show that the tree
once was much greater in girth than
now.
Aged as it is the tree bore acorns
in 1901 and 1905 and always pro-
duces fair amount of foliage. In
1893 an acorn borne by the Cow
thorpe oak was planted near by and a
tree is growing up slowly as a memos
rial to the parent.-New York Sun.

GIRLS LUNCHES SAVED DOG.

GIRLS LUNCHES SAVED DOG.
Somewhere about the city there is
wandering to-day little yellow dog,
nameless and without known kin,
who, could he speak! might tell a
little story of charity that probably
saved his life.
Worn out with lodging trucks and
cars in the crowded streets down.
town, so hungry and thirsty that he
could run only with difficulty, while
his tongue hung from his jaws, he
made his way into the front gate of
st. Paul's Churchyard, on Broadway,
at noon, along with the advance
guard Of the girls who take luncheon
in one or another of the quiet hooks
about the old church. There the dog
fell, exhausted-in a final struggle
for life, it seemed.
Everyone thought the animal mad,
until one young woman, with lunch
box in hand, suggested:
Maybe he's hungry"
Boxes were opened at once, and
sardine and chicken sandwiches, an
gel cake and candy were produced.
1t was soon apparent that the young
woman's supposition was correct.
From all sides, then, came Offer
ings. and the donors were so eager to
do their best that they gave the little
dog the richest and most indigesti-
BILE morsels in their boxes. Presently,
from a nearby drug store there ar
rived a girl with glass of cool milk.
which she set before the wayfarer,
whose appreciation the onlookers saw
in look of dog thanks. A few min
utes more were spent by the animal
in resting. Then he arose with a
happy little bark and a whisk of his

MINNIE MINNOW.


MINNIE MINNOW.
Down in the bay, where the river
greets the ocean, there is always a
little Swish of the cool green waves.
1t is the home and lively place of the
frolicking Fin Folk-the Sinner fam
lily, the Flat Filters, the Skin Skip
pers and the Only Golden One.
Minnie Minnow loved the place and
often played there the splendid game
of flit-tag on sunny afternoons with
her cousins Finnie and Fannie Min
now, and wee Winnie Winnow. =
Flit-tag is fun to play, for you dart
most every way: now over the waves
you slide and skim; now plunge to
the bottom and slowly swim; sudden
ly dash through the sea-weed shade,
and-the goal is wOn-the game is
played.
Minnie Minnow could always win;
with steady tail and lively fin, she'd
dash and lash her way through Swish
and distance all the other fish.
But sometimes she was kind and
would keep behind, and let Finnie or
Fannie. or even little Winnie, win,
Swish was very pleasant place in
which to play, and it had one great
convenience. No matter how much
1t rained, Swish was never any
wetter;; and as for Minnie, she never
let 1t fret her, for rain never wet her.
Said Minnie -fish.
"Whene'er / wish
can swish in Swish
And never get wet.
If I flirt my tail
] never fail
To smoothly sail.
And never get wet.
If / make splatter
1t doesn't matter;
If the drops down patter-
And never get wet"
Minnie and Finnie and Fannie and
Winnie were very happy in Swish,
but one day, while at play, Minnie
Minnow went away to a place called
Splish, where the water is very shall
low.
gone away. but left behind the rules
of play:
In Swish you safely may abide;
In Spish is danger; watch the tide"
But Minnie forgot to watch the
tide, and was having such a very
good time darting here and there in
the sunny shadows, she never no
ticed. until too late, the tide had
turned, and-sad to relate-poor lit
tie Minnie was left to her fate.
1t happened this way.
Every day the sun and moon up in
the sky pull the waters of Splish till
it gets quite-quite dry. And any
little fish that stays in Splish will
flop about and struggle-get dry and
die.
But Minnie was wise; when she
felt the water so she shut her eyes
and dug her fms with all her might
into the mud, sunk out of sight.
The hours went by and Splish was
dry, and Minnie gasped and choked.
but suddenly the water began to come
back.
Presently Minnie was wetter. she
felt much better, but a sadder and
wiser little fish swan safely back to
cool, green Swish.
Most any day, If you go that way.
you'll see little Minnie Minnow at
play. darting here and there, with
zeal and zest, playing flit-tag games
with all the rest.-Joshua F. CroweE

HOW AMERICA GOT ITS NAME

tons OF Ober's Amerigo Vespucci, in
Harpers' Heroes of American His
tory Series, is that in which it is
pointed out that it was not Vespucci
himself who named the Western
world America" but. by a curious
chance, a stranger to Vespucci, an
obscure geographer in a little town
in the Vosges. Martin Waldseemuller.
The suggestion was made by this man
in a pamphlet printed in Latin.
