First Cantaisver 1rjdoe.

The first cantalever 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,- O0,O0O and fifty-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 oi the bolts that were to complete tic span. For time this was puzzle. but was finally solved by an ingenious workman who suggested expansion by artificial heat and 1t was forthwith supplied by means of burning kerosene oil under the steel girder.
