DETECTION OF Great Bridges.

People nowadays hardly realize all
the problems that Roebling, also of Nj
agara river fame, had to solve when he
designed the Brooklyn bridge; in fact,
the strain practically killed him in the
end. To mention one of the simpler
problems that had to be considered: We
know that the center of the river span
rises and falls probably more than nine
feet each way, partly due to the load
ings and partly to the temperature
changes. The maximum detection of
the Williamsburg bridge, a much more
rigid structure, is only feet 8 inches.
Its four main cables are each made up
of 81 strands and each strand
contains POS wires, making 1906 wires in
each cable, or 31,7S4 wires in the four
main cables, making nearly $4,000 miles
of wire. And, as we have said. these
cables stretch enough, owing to expan-
sion and contraction, as we'll as to the
effect of the live load on the bridge to
allow the center Of the bridge to defect

rigid suspension bridge. The extreme

Men Who Have Opened
Their Hearts to Me
BY AYOUNG WIDOW
SHE KNELT BESIDE HIM

NNCE in a while woman listens to a story that
Y ] has never been told before and knows she is
the first to listen-a story that is true, and she
knows it is true when she hears it. The situation
that brings out the tale is always and the tale
itself generally painful.
This was told me by a man who had never mar
ried:
II going to tell you the worst thing ever did,
he said, and l trembled. But sometimes one must
listen or be brutal.
She was Salvation Army girl" he said, "and
was doing newspaper work She pure and

before mine. At least suppose that was what

my knees the mourners' bench and wept real
tears, for her. And she knelt beside and put her
arm across my shoulders, and her hand touched my
cheek.
That settled it. l didn't care who knew 1t after
that enlisted in her little band And have never
seen any one SO happy as that little girl She had

alone in the barracks with her, for the weather

scious OF being alone with a man, yet not
ignorant but somehow both innocent and WISE that it
almost made me give up even then-but didn't"
The man looked down as he told the

but that God\could use even poor human love to

do his work with. She said that my love for her
had given me to God and that her love for God had
given her me-thats what she said and she looked up
at with such love and just stretched her little
hands to me.

their goods, SO we pay for own things

"You" Mr.. Townsend asked
"Yes-or people like me-"
why, it makes good business for US in America

But why do work? I've always heard
that Americans work too hard as it is" Jack OBJ

Then I'd make law that people must all work

That's ungrateful." Mr.. Townsend said, laughing;
when I've just explained it to you"
"Oh-if you call that an explanation" Jack said
But it seems to me I'm mixed up than ever"
THAT may not be my fault" Mr.. Townsend said,
sarcastically
