LIVED LONG WITHOUT EATING
Men and Animals Have Made Some
Remarkable Fasts a Matter
of Record.

The record for fasting, so far as hui
mainly is concerned, is held by
Granie, a French murderer, who de-
termined to starve himself to death,
and from the day of his arrest refused
to eat. In spite of every effort on the
part of his warders, who first tried
tempting him to eat by placing the
most dainty meals in his cell, and
when that failed, attempted feeding
him by force, he held out for GO days,
at the end of which time he died. Up
to then the longest authenticated fast
on record was that accomplished by
Giovanni Succi, who tasted at the
Royal Aquarium, London, for As days.
But these records sink into insignia

CURRENT WRECKS A BRIDGE
Twenty-Seven Big TImbers Are Cur
Through In One Day by Aid OF
Electricity.

One Of the most ingenious uses to
which electricity was ever put was In
the wrecking of bridge over the Wa
bash In Indiana.
This bridge had been purchased by
the county authorities, who intended
to replace 1t by steel structure erect
ed on the old piers and aSutments.
The owner agreed to remove the
bridge in 80 days.
The chief difficulty lay In the short
time agreed upon for the removal of
the bridge. Several wreckers to whom
the matter was submitted declared
that it would be impossible within 80
days to pull down the old bridge with
out injury to the piers.
THE structure might be blown up
with dynamite, but the explosion
would also destroy the piers. Were 1t
fired, the heat would crack and injure
the masonry of the bridge. The 80
days expired, and an extension of one
week was granted.
The owner was at his wits end
when he CHANGED upon an electrician
! who proposed, not to blow up the

phrase, leaned over the tub and ex-
