QUEBEC BRIDGE is BIGGEST
Time Of Construction Shows Advance
in Engineering Since Brooklyn
Bridge Was Built.

Quebec, Ont.-The new bridge
across the st. Lawrence river near
here supplants the mighty structure
that fell when half finished in the
summer of 1907. The site of the new
bridge Is the same but the north pier
is moved out so feet further into the
river, thus appreciably shortening the
central span The new bridge contains
1870, 000, 900 pounds of steel, as COM
pared with the 100, 600, 900 Of its pred
ecessor. 1t will cost when completed
not less than $12, 900, 900, and will
have the longest truss span of any
bridge in the world-1,80O feet, or 80
feet more than that of the great Firth
of Forth bridge in Scotland.
The construction of this bridge,
which has taken two and a half years.
is an impressive indication of the
progress of mechanical and civil en-.
cheering since the Brooklyn bridge
was opened to traffic, May "a, 1888.
The latter required 1874 years to
erect, and to date has cost over 1922
900, 900, of $40, 600, 900 more than the
prospective cost Of the new Canadian
giant.
The length of the river span Of the
Brooklyn bridge is 1000 feet-2OO
feet less than that of the bridge at
Quebec. OF the other bridges across
the East river the Manhattan has g
river span of 1.470 feet: the Williams
burg bridge has a span OF 200 feei
shorter than that v e the st. Law
'ence; the longest span of the Queens
,oro bridge Is 1900 feet.

Dynamiter Pays For His Fun.

Notwithstanding fish in the
streams of South Dakota comes high,
as was discovered by a resident of
Hanson county whose name has been
withheld by the authorities owing to
his prominence, who with three com
p~anions were arrested on this charge
by County Game Warden Martin.
The principal offender entered a plea
of guilty and was fined 500 and costs,
or about 1926 in all, and this amount
he paid and was released from custo-

able to prove that they were only spec
tators of the dynamiting, and had had
no hand in setting off the dynamite
themselves, so they were released with

than 10000 trees having been tapped
during the past year yielding 5000
pounds OF rubber. In order to carry
on the development Of the plantation
II was resolved TO raise loan of $780,
900, that amount being considered suf-
ficient for the unkcep Of the planta-
ton till It should be on dividend
paying basis. To avoid the expense OF
issuing bonds for so small an amount
II was decided to issue loan certif-
icates, bearing interest at the rate OF
per cent and secured by the deposit
OF treasury stock with the bank as
trustee. These loan certificates Will
be issued only to shareholders on a
sound financial basis but also provide
return on capital invested during
the development period till the divi'
dends become payable. The term Of
the loan is only four years as 1t is ex'
pected that the surplus from sales Of
rubber and sisal will be sufficient t.
pay II of by that time.

LOVE THAT FAILED.

For ten long but blissful years
they had walked along the path of
love; but as yet the lovesick youth
had never mentioned about their
getting married. Courtship is very
charming, but when there does not
seem to be altar-rails at the end of
it girls naturally begin to lose inter-
est in the game. Anyhow, Jane
thought it time that the marriage
day was fixed, so she threw out a
gentle hint to her lover by way Of
encouraging him. That, she thought,
was all the dear fellow wanted.

ly, 'they're saying we're going to be
married soon."

JUST ASK THE BARBER.

Some one has written that the bar
Der is the "modern guardian of old
ties and associates" He is that but
something far more intimate also.
The barber is the confdant and
scandal monger of no mean stand
ing. One day in the barber shop
will prove to all who may wish to
find out that nine out of every ten
men will tell all his family and
other troubles to the one who is
shaving him. 1t seems that the pres
sure of the cold and treacherous ra-
zor blade acts as confidence slim
ulator." The man in the chair fair
ly overfows with his troubles, be
they small or large, disagreements
with his '1ife partner" or the too
strenuous attentions of some one
who is trying to land him in the web
Of matrimony.
Any barber has in the back Of his
Uranium enough of scandal gathered
from the schair" conversations Of
his customers to fill several books.
Were the barber, as class, man
given to silence, it would not be so
bad, but he isn't and his example in
garrulity seems to be contagious.

persons otherwise qualified who,

February 8. 1908, to February 8.

BE it enacted by the senate and
house Of representatives of the
United States of America in con-
gress assembled. that any person
who, prior to the approval of this
act, has made entry under the
homestead or desert-land laws, but
who, subsequently to such entry.

shall be entitled to the benefits of
the homestead or desert-land laws

not been made, and any person ap-
plying for second homestead or
desert-land entry under this act
shall furnish a description and the
date of his former entry: Provi-
ded, That the provisions of this

former entry for a valuable con-
sideration in excess of the filing
fees paid by him on his original
entry.

A GREAT MEDICAL TRIUMPH
oileing Of tho ProboscIs Of Mosquito
to Got at Maiarial Germs 2.
In italy.

In the history Of research are
many romances. OF the discovery
that malaria was caused by mos
quitoes it is related how Doctor Low
and Doctor Sombo lived in the ma
larious Roman Campagna without
quinine. They retired at sunset to
mosquito-proof hut, with double
doors and windows of wire net and
they did not leave until sunrise. The
fact that they remained immune
while the attendants sleeping out
side contracted malaria confirmed
the belief that the mosquitoes were
responsible. But how did they carry
the disease? At first it was thought
to be by water.
To settle the question live mos
quitoes which had bitten infected
peasants, were obtained, and two
members Of the school submitted to
be bitten by them. They both went
down with malaria. Again, how did
the mosquitoes transmit the germ j?
BY cutting sections of the proboscis
the malarious parasite was found. It
breaks through the skin of the pro-
boscis and is transmitted at the time
Of the sting. From the first conjec-
ture to the final proof was series Of
careful experiments, ending with
slicing Of the mosquitoes proboscis.
Now this is finer than fine hair. It
is necessary to stop to think. For
it is easier to imagine the triumph
Of the proof than the delicate opera
ton that produced it.
