First Cantalever Bridqe.

The first cantaleyer railroad bridge Is the one across the Firth of Forth at Queens Ferry. Scotland. It Is nearly one and half miles in length. Fifty. one thousand tons of steel were used in It's construction employing as many as 5000 men at one time. It cost $16,- 100000 and ffty-six lives. The work men began at either end and worked toward the center When they met and undertook the last connection 1t was found that the two ends lacked a small fracion of an inch of reaching far enough to allow the insertion ol the bolts that were to complete the Bpan. For | time this was puzzle. but was finally solved by m ingenious wofknan wAo suggested expansion by artificial heat, and 1t was forthwith supplied by means of burning kerosene oil under the steel girder.

An lmaqinatiye Statesman.

Imagination is the greatest moving force in the world. In saying this I am merely repeating a remark of Dis raeli's, and to prove the strength of his conviction I will repeat story Mir. Lowell told me when he was minister to England. It is the custom of the Royal Academy of Painters to hold a private view of their pictures before the public exhibition Disraeli, walk ing arm in arm with Browning through the galleries, said, What strikes me most forcibly here Is the lack of ina gination." and he proceeded to enlarge upon the power of imagina- ton. declaring 1t to be the great est force in the world. In responding to . toast at the banquet which followed the private exhibition he dwelt upon the wealth of imagination in evidence on the walls about him and again ex- pressed his conviction that ina gina ton is the moving force in the world Browning repeated Disraell's first re- mark to Gladstone, who sat beside him, and he muttered, "The devil"'- John Irowbridge in Atlantic.

Lord Pauncefote suffered grea0y from rheumatic gout in his latter days, and he walked sttfiiy and sometimes had to use two canes. He went one afternoon to make call and he re nained quite long time, So long that the horses got restive and the groom walked them up and down the street. When Lord Pauncefote left the hou& khe carriage was not in front, and. Thinking there was some mistake tR his orders, he started to walk to the mbassy, which was only a square or two. But he had twinges of his old enemy, and the pavements were icy. He was large heavily built man, and he feared a fall. While he was pondering over his dilemma along came a young man in working clothes, and the British ambassador. after courteous salutation, asked; My friend, will you walk beside me and help me home? It Is just a short ways. but l am afraid of falling. l shall greatly appreciate it." The young man looked him over and then said thickiy, "Old gent.

 INSURANCE MERGER

Chicago, Nov. 222.-The dominance of Eastern and Foreign insurance companies in Western and Southern fields is waning, as is shown by gains made by the lustv new compan- ies which have set out to retain in the heart of the America more of the insurance revenues which total some half billion dollars a year, tributes paid chiefly to the East and Europe The announced merger of two West efn companies, the Consolidated Cas- ualty Company having swallowed the National Casualty Insurance Company of Louisville, is a case in point, the first named having directorate which represents in personal wealth, it is said, $5o.000,0O0, a fact which presages other mergers
 The Consolidated company was or ganized as a protest against the in- surance power of the East and al ready has over $2,000,000 of insur- ance in force, fact partially account ed for by the scattered holdings Of the company's stock in 26 states.
