S/@ Oh lue MdNlldtIIn DiitSe,
the fourth great aerial high
way over the East river
planned by New York city. Two
bridges are already in use, the famous
old Brooklyn and the still later VIII
liamsburg bridges, both suspension
structures. \ third, the Blackwelrs is
land bridge, an impressive cantalever
design, is nearing completion, but It's
opening will be delayed until 1t has
been thoroughly tested owing to ap-
prehension caused by the collapse of
the mammoth Quebec bridge of the
same type, a disaster that cost the lives
Of over 100 workmen.
The Manhattan bridge will be Of the
suspension type and will resemble
somewhat the old Brooklyn bridge,
long noted as the jumping off, place
Of people ambitious to secure dime
museum jobs or a golden harp and
wings. Steve Brodie. who ultimately
realized beth ambitions, was one Of
the first men who jumped from Brook
Ign bridge and lived to tell the tale.
1t must be confessed, however, that
II Of Mr.. Erodie's rivals In the haz-
ardOus business asserted that he never
did actually jump, which called forth
BrOdie's retort: Dat bloke calls him
self a bridge jumper, does he? S-a-a-y,
dat mug couldn't jump Off a trolley car
on to a good thing!"
The Manhattan bridge is being
erected very near the scene Of Brodie's
alleged exploit. In fact. it is so near
the Brooklyn bridge that some people
