and the bridge WAS built from the Illi
nois bank as far as Little Rock island
from which point trains were ferried
across the channel. In 1864, the west
channel was bridged, completing the
most important railroad bridge Of its
day. The channel and draw spans Of
the bridge have since been almost en-
tirely rebuilt as the increase of traffic
made necessary a more substantial
structure.
The present bridge was projected as
early as 1900. and surveys and borings
were made in 1901. The construction of
the bridge was authorized by the war
department in 1907, and since that year

CRATE, and for that reason the confer

winter of 1905 were productive OF
little visible result To an English
man, the open fire-grate, with its
smoky flame, is one of the most essen
tial features of his domestic Happiness
and comfort. Unfortunately, no modi-
fed form of open fire-grate which will
burn bituminous fuel without smoke
has ever yet been devised, although
many experiments have been made IN
this direction. Since the American
method of heating rooms by hot ar
or by steam pipes is unpopular in
stove is equally unacceptable, the Only
hope that London may in time possess
an atmosphere equal in clearness 70
that of New York, Paris or Berlin,
lies in the use of partially cooked fuels
like "coalite," or in the extended mp

purposes. Progress is no doubt oc-
curing in both these directions, and
this will grow more rapidly as the
supplies of these two forms of fuel
are increased and cheapened. The
domestic smoke problem. in fact, not
only in London, but in other large

lom, is likely TO be solved along
these lines.-Cassier's Magazine.
