The Knapsaek BRIDGE.

A Mexican engineer. Colonel Lopez.
has planned and perfected new kind
Of bridge made Of knapsackS The
framework Of each knapsack is made
Of symmetrically arranged pieces Of
wood, which can be spread ont by
means Of hinges into boards Of known
dimensions. The knapsacks are num-
bered. and when the stream to be
bridged Is reached the wooden forms
can be promptly extracted from their
canvas or leather coverings ana quick
ly bolted into place. A number Of e.
periments have been made by the mill
tary authorities, and II has been found
that a knapsack bridge win support as
many men as can be crowded upon II.
In the military schools there are now
working models Of these bridges, and
the men and officers, says the Mexican
Herald. have regular practice in the
construction and operation Of the pu-
ente." The idea can also be applied TO
the scaling OF walls or the climbing OF
barrancas.

POWDER SUIT IN
HANDS OF SCARLET

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-The At
torney- General does not feel qualified
at this time to say whether OF not it
is the intention Of the government to
proceed criminally against the du-
Points in the powder corporation liti-
cation.
Responding to an inquiry of this
character, prompted by a Wilmington
despatch. Attorney General Bonaparte
said to-day that he had no knowledge
Of a purpose to ultimately resort TO
criminal proceedings.
THE action to dissolve the powder
trust. however" he declared. has been
put In charge Of James Scarlet, who
has been appointed special counsel for
the government. To him is left the
decision as to how he may best secure
the fullest results Of the proceedings"
Scarlet recently conferred with the
Attorney General here, and at that
time IL was announced that the taking
of testimony in the powder suit would
be pushed vigorously. Advices from
Delaware that further action in the
case has been postponed until October
Z may indicate an unexpected develop
ment.
