legion. While many Of the so-ealled
popular novels have not met with

have, and possess merit. The Ameri-
can and English authors Of today are
among the greatest writers, and there
are nearly three hundred Of them

Exploding q Mine In Granite,

One Of the methods of quarrying
granite is to dislodge a huge sheet
from the surface Of the formation
through the medium Of a powder mine.
A large perpendicular shaft Is first
blasted to a depth Of about thirty feet.
At the bottom Of this and radiating in
all directions horizontally, like the
spokes of a huge wheel, long holes are
drilled. The extremities Of these holes
are then shot with light charges of
dynamite in order to create chambers
large enough to receive large quaint
ties Of black powder. This takes weeks
Of ever increasing charges. Then the
final charge is loaded. The now huge
chambers Mt the extremities of the
spokes are packed with hundreds of
pounds Of powder. electric
wires attached and the whole mine
tamped with fine material. A mighty
roar and rumble in the bowels of the
earth and the huge sheet is detached
from the ledge.

NEWEST NILE BRIDGE.

Connects Cairo With the Historic Is
land Of Rcdah.
After being for three years under
construction the largest bridge across
the Nile has been completed. 1t con-
meets Cairo with the island of Rodah.
where, according to tradition, Pha-
raoh's daughter found Moses in his
cot among the rushes. The Rodah
bridge, or, as 1t is sometimes named.
the Ghizeh bridge taking the name
from the district it will serve on the
west bank, has a length of LAO feet
and a width of 65 feet.
There are fourteen spans and a swing
span of 200 feet. which is turned by an
electric motor. When open, this swing
gives a clear span Of seventy feet on
either side Of its pivot for the passage
Of vessels. The official testing of the
bridge took place on Oct. 9, 1907, the
whole Of the bridge, span by span, be-
ing subjected to a weight equal to 400
pounds to the square yard. To make
the test the %footpaths on either side
were piled up with sand and over them
a couple Of locomotives and a score of
wagons ran on an improvised railway.
The roadway was occupied by TWEEN
ty tram cars. each loaded with large
bags of cement; t~wenty-four water
cars, twenty dust carts filed with sand
and eight steam rollers. These were
on the bridge for the whole of the day
and We're left stationary over each
span. while the records Of DETECTION
were made by Egyptian government
officials. The test was concluded by a
sort Of "gallop past" by the whole
mass Of tram cars. water carts, sand
carts and steam rollers. moving rs one
body at the full speed Of and led by
the steam rollers. This is the third
bridge to be constructed over the Nile

Spring Costumes.

Nearly all the new costumes resem-
bic one another in certain respects. The
blouses, bodices and waists of all kinds
are trimmed at the top. There is a mass
of trimming upon the yoke, the collar
and the upper part of the sleeves, while
the lower part of the waist is plain.
This gives Il splendid opportunity for
IN abundance of hand work.
All the dresses are made with the
white lace yoke and with the standing
collar Of white lace wired very high
behind the ears. AS for the sleeves,
they are in two distinct parts. There is
the outer sleeve. which is wide, like a
japanese coat sleeve. and which is
trimmed with embroidery and lace ard
with trimmings of various kinds. And
there is the undersleeve, which is made
of lace and is quite different in its de-
sign from the other sleeve.

in order to obtain the construction Of a

knitting took almost three months.
The garment was rounded to follow
the lines of a princess silk slip. The
silk was heavy floss, which shaded
from cream to deep gray. Iridescent
beads were caught irregularly in the
varying colors and gave an added
sheen to the garment. The lining was

An improvement in fire escapes, one
which will keep cool during exposure

One feature is the construction of the

the rung is secured. The supporting
