viii also be found to be economical in
the long run to build concrete floors
ON all steel bridges regardless Of the
length of span.
Many county officials through an err
rOneous idea that they are saving the
county money build spans much too
short for the waterway required. This
is a serious mistake and the cause of
the destruction of nearly all Of those
smaller bridges which have been de-
stroyed by high water. County engi-
neers should see that bridges are plac-
ed at sufficient height above high
water so that they will not catch
drift. Particular attention should also
be given to the placing of anchor bolts.

quently asked about tubular piers, and
the inquirer is generally prejudiced
against them. The proper material out
of which to build piers or abutments
is stone and concrete. Tubular piers
are, however. an excellent substitute.
They have been used for years not
only on highway work. but also by
railroads. There are several reasons
for this. In the first place, there is
usually a vast difference in the cost,
and were 1t not for the tubular pier
many bridges in Missouri could not
have been built. Concrete or masonry
piers require more excavation. and
when water level is reached an expen-
sive coferdam is required along with
much more pumping than is necessary
in sinking tubular pier. which itself
always acts as a cofferdam. When
there is no rock foundation the differ
ence In cost is even greater.
There have been more failures of
concrete and masonry piers than there
have been Of tubular piers. In most
cases this Is due to the poor construc-
ton of the masonry.
Therefore there are many masonry
piers built Of the same class of stuff
and in the same manner the mason
employs when building a cellar wall
In his locality.
The pressure against tubular pier
at time of high water is not great ow
ing to its cylindrical form; 1t is also
not apt to hold drift for this reason
1t is bad practice TO set tubular pier
on rock foundation in a stream
where II has only foot or two OF
gravel or clay to penetrate. In this
case it is best policy to build a con-
c=ete or masonry pier even though the
6rst cost be twice that of a tubular
pier.

BIRTH OF A WING.
Evolution of the Aquatic Pupa Into the
DRAGON Fly.

Evolution of the Aquatic Pupa Into the
Dragon Fly.
Says writer in the Scientific Amer
lean: "a wonderful spectacle is pre-
scented by the sudden apparition Of
an insects wing at the completion of
it's metamorphosis. The transforma-
ton Of the grub into the butterfly,
though familiar, is none the less amaz-
ing but the evolution of the active and
gossamer winged dragon fly from its
ugly and sluggish aquatic pupa Is still
more impressive. Early on May morn
ing the pupa energies from it's cocoon
at the bottom of ditch, swims on its
back by padding with its long haired
paws to the stem of an aquatic plant
and climbs up out Of the water. Then,
after a momentary pause, the skin
suddenly bursts open and the perfect
insect appears, with closely folded
wings, which soon unfold and assume
their final form.
"The older naturalists thought that
the insect swallowed air. with which
the wings were inflated. In reality
the air is absorbed in the digestive
organs, causing an increased blood
pressure, which mechanically expands
the wings. The presence Of dew is
also necessary; hence the first fight Is
always made at dawn.
'This spectacle of the birth of a
wing may be observed in dragon flies
reared in an aquarium, the atmos-
phere of which should be mOistened
with an atomizer when the pupa rises
to the surface"

MAKING HIS TIES LAST.

Husbands ties need not be cast into

least little sign of being solled.
Why not take soft cloth and some
benzlne ana clean them so as to make
them appear new?
Yes; in handling this oil extreme
care is required. so IL you want to
guard against explosion keep it as far
away from fire as you can.
There is now an article on the mar
ket that is guaranteed to have all the
virtues of the volatile oils and none Of
their dangerous qualities. 1t would be
well to use this. though the benZine
may be cheaper. When cleaning the
ties you can lay them fat ON a piece
of wrapping paper, not printed paper,
and with the cloth and cleaning fluid
administer a good securing.
Do not be afraid of spelling silks. as
they will not be injured in the least.
In fact, their regeneration will be mar
velous, and it will open your eyes to
an item of economy that in some
homes proves quite an expensive one
otherwise.
Dry them in dry heat, not out Of
doors or in the sunshine.
In case any of the volatile oil is used

should be carefully ironed before dry.

Tubular Piers as Substitutes.
The question is frequently asked,
"Why are the bridges which we build
today less permanent than those which
the ancients built?" says +. j. Kersting,
deputy state highway engineer of Mis-
souri,, in Good Roads, New York. One
answer Is the item of cost, chiefly be
cause we build a vastly greater num-
Der of bridges than did the ancients.
We build solely for the accommoda-
ton of the public, as we live by
peaceful pursuits. whereas the an
clients lived by conquest. being almost
continually at strife, and built mainly
for army maneuvers.
Heretofore financial conditions and
the rapid growth of progress have
made ii necessary to do some things in
the line of bridge building which were
regrettable because the prime object
was to build cheap and sometimes
quickly built structures. That state
of affairs is improving. and l am sure
we all agree that the class of bridges
we are to build in this state in the fu-
ture should keep pace with the i'm
proved conditions.
