PRACTICAL USE OF CURRENT
Wooden Bridge Dismantled by Use Of
Electrically Heated Wires to ssys
Piers am Abutments.


An interesting use Of electricity was
recently demonstrated IN England.
where WOODEN bridge was cut down
by means Of electrically heated wires.
The bridge had been condemned. and
was to be replaced by steel struct-
ure supported on the old masonry
piers and abutments.
Three weeks was allowed in which
to disnantle the woodwork. but. says
the Scientific American. 1t proved
impossible to accomplish the work In
50 short a time without the use OF
dynamite or fire. which undoubtedly
would have injured the masonry. FIN
ally an electrician proposed to destroy
the bridge by the use Of electricity
Each span of the bridge contained "a
planks. aEd 1t was proposed to cut
them SO that they would drop into the
water simultaneously. clear Of the
piers. The structure was wired and
sufficient current was employed 70
bring the wires a cherry red An
hour and forty minutes after the cur
rent was applied the first span was
cut and fell into the water.
This operation was begun at i've
