which people have more settled opinions,
Each person judges the habits Of animals
solely by what he has seen them personally,
OF read OF them personally. So when one
comes along who has seen an animal do a
strange thing and undertakes to tell about
1t, all the others question his veracity, and
are just as likely as not to boot him.
B One OF the latest stories OF this character.
by the way, is about birds. The weather
in the east, and more particularly in the
neighborhood Of Port Jeryis, on the Erie
railroad, has been exceedingly dry. High
way commissioners in the country districts
who have been repairing the roads have
suffered much round about Port Jervls.
But these honest men and their honest
assistants have not been 50 taken up with
their own troubles that they have found no
time to sympathize with the birds, which
have been so frequently caught in The dust
clouds and we'll nigh smotheredd.
That these birds must Rave told other
birds about their experience can hardly be
questioned by anybody who calmly consid-
ers the sequel, Last Saturday the birds
seemed to come along over the roadNays
just outside Port Jervis in greater numbers
than ever. and they rather sought than
avoided the dust vlouds. Not until they
we're directly over the SPOT where some

OF bridges. One Of the first called for a
steel arch bridge with a span OF 400 feet,
but with this particular span it was found
impossible 10 obtain proper foundations
FOR the piers. Another had a span Of $50
feet. but the general design was rejected
by the Municipal Art commission. Finally
the bridge department took hold OF the
problem and, after many preliminary
studies, drew up a set Of plans for a re-
intorced concrete bridge, which was APP
proved by both the art and bridge COM
missioners.
A reinforced concrete bridge of the di-
mansions called for would be a notable
advance in concrete construction. as no
structure like it has been erected. The
arch necessary to span the Spuyten DuyyfI
creek will be one Of the longest in the
world even including those built of steel.
1t VIII have a clear span Of 725 feet, which
is nearly three times as long as the new
concrete bridge over Walnut Lane, Phil
adelphia, and within lT5 feet OF the span
OF the Niagara bridge over the Niagara
river. The arch VIII be built OF concrete
reinforced with steel rods and expanded
metal. II will be about seventy feet wide
and twenty-five feet thick al the abut-
ments and fifteen feet at the crown.
On this massive arch concrete columns
