The knapsaek Bridge.

A Mexican engineer, Colonel Lopez.
has planned and perfected a new kini
OF bridge made OF knapSackS. The
framework OF each knapsack IS made
OF symmetrically arranged pieces Of
wood. which can be spread out by
means OF hinges into boards Of known
dimensions. The knapsacks are num-
bered. and when the stream 70 he
bridged Is reached the wooden forms
can be promptly extracted from their
canvas or leather coverings and quick
" bolted into place. A number Of ez-
periments have been made by the mill
tary authorities, and II has been found
that knapsack bridge viii support as
many men as can be crowded upon 1t.
In the military schools there are now
working models OF these bridges. AMI
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.

BIBLE DON'T PROVE A
HEREAFTER.

What can We find in the Old Tesla
ment that proves a future life?
Adam, the first man. was not prom
ised a future life. He simply died.
According to the record, there was no
promise of punishment in a future
life for his disobedience. So far as We
know, he remains dead yet
The punishment of Cain, the nrst
murderer, was all in this life, and
was greater than he could bear. He
was not taught of another life.
The great man Abraham, father of
the Jews, had no promise Of a heaven
in a future life. He simply died and
was buried, and was gathered unto
his people.
So Isaac and Jacob gave up the
ghost and died, were buried in a cave
and never seen again alive. They died
without the promise of a future life
anywhere in the skies.
Moses. the great lawgiver, who talk
ed scores of times with the Lord God.
was entitled to a rest in heaven and
to a future of happiness for the Sc
we're trials he had with those rebel
ling Jews. yet he was not promised
any reward.
He went to the mountains top and
promised land. but wa not permitted
to enter it. He died in the land of
Moab, and the Lord buried him some
where in the valley, but it is not
known that he had a decent burial.
After the death of Moses the Lord
spake unto Joshua, the son Of Nun,
Moses minister, the most cruel and
bloodthirsty murderous general of Old
Bible times The Lord commanded
him to be strong and Of good courage
He slaughtered many thousands of
quiet, peaceable citizens of that day.
But he died and was suried.
Nothing further is known of him
or of his future life in mansions in
the skies. Were he living in our day
he would be brought to life again and
sent to an imaginary hell Of eternal
torture to dwell with ghosts. spooks.
evil spirits, and malignant hateful dew
lis through eternity.
About that time Eliazer. the priest.
the son Of Aaron. died, and they bur-
led him in a hill That was likely as
near heaven as he ever got, although
he wss called a priest of the Lord.
Yet it was not fashionable in those
days to send priests to heaven In the
clouds after death, so he must now be
! asleep, taking his everlasting rest
along with the thousands Of billions
Of earth Inhabitants who for thou
sands Of years have been dropping
out Of the ranks never to return. =
