Reinforced Concrete Bridges.

Steel bridges are rapidly becoming
a thing of the past in Indiana. The
earliest steel bridges were built in
the early sos, and as the life of
steel bridge does not usually exceed
twenty-five or thirty years under con-
ditions Of highway traffic it is ap-
parent that the time is soon coming
when the earliest of the steel bridges
will have collapsed under some unus-
ua1 load of steam road roller or
traction engine. The number of such
failures is becoming alarmingly fire.
juent, says Cement Age, New York
Many counties of Indiana have discon-
tinued the building of steel bridges
and are now building of reinforced
concrete instead, because of the per-
manence of this type of construction
and its freedom from repairs. Rein
forced concrete bridges have many adj
vantages, such as absolute permaS
nence, handsome appearance, gray
elled roadway, and freedom from flood
renewals. Wabash county, Indiana,
built its first concrete bridges in 1902,
and since that time has built Upwards
of 100 arches up to S0-foot span
Since 1903 no steel bridges have been
built in this county.

There is noticing dearer to a deers
heart than a turnip patch, and he will
travel miles, and take all kinds OF
risks, to get into one. | know men
who make it practice every spring
to plant turnips out in the woods, or
somewhere in a burning, so they may
hunt deer there in the fall All they
have to do is to watch along about
dusk, and the animals come in to feed.
Il have been over practically all the
timbered regions of the state pretty
thoroughly, and find it to be almost
universal rule that where the moose
hunting is best the deer are fewest.
Moose are seldom found anywhere

the boundaries of civilization, and you
find venison plenty.
