EIGHT DEAD FROM
 HEAT IN NEW YORK
One Degree Cooler But Deaths and PrOstrations C0ntinue---ShOw.
 CTS Give No Relief.

New York, July 10.-The third day of intense heat that has grpped the At lantic coast and New England states brought slight diminution of the eX- cessive temperatures but the coast from Maine to the Carolinas still sweltered, the temperatures rangine, from 90 to 94. The maximum reached today in Montreal was 96, which was one of the warmest places on the con- tinent. The maximum at Baltimore was 94 degrees, while Washington and Richmond registered 92 as the high figures for the day.
 In New York the maximum for the day was 90, one degree lower than yesterday. Eight persons died of the heat in New York and there was the usual high number of prostrations. Street thermometers in several places registered 97. There were showers to- day in sections of New York state but it had no effect on the sunbaked streets and buildings. The weather bureau promises lower temperature and probably showers tomorrow.

Unable to Count Beyond Four.

A close Observer has definitely ee- tablished the fact that magpies and rocks cannot count further than four. A rock never returns to its nest until 1t Is quite satisfied that there is no danger near. When four hunters or less departed in succession from a nearby log cabin, the rock would re- turn to it's nest after the last had gone out of sight. But whenever there were more the bird lost count and re. turned to its nest even while some were still in the hut.

WESTERN REMA|Ns|

, ! e.
In an interview with Mr.. w. j.
Seaver, promoter Of the Missis' i,pi
North Western Railroad, he st,ed
that the only change in his oril alal
plans was: That the Shops and
main offices would be at Biloxi, due
to the fact that the citizens Of Pa saa-
goula ignored the town-site prorosi-
tion, and that the people of B lpxi
put up equal to 500 900, while ne
people Of Pascagoula only offased
the right-of-way and terminal ground.
Mr.. Seaver stated that the rl4in
line would be from this Poi to
Vicksburg, and that all the ex ,rt
and import business would be ec,e
through the Port Of Pascagoula; lid
line would be run out Of Biloxi.
Due to the fact that the peop . Of
Pascagoula ignored the town site 10
position which Mr.. Seaver had mace,
and after waiting for two month ! to
hear from it, he accepted the tI,iSd
invitation from the citizens of Bilo.i,
and accepted the proposition wi'izh
they made him.

PUBLICITY F0R
 TEMPE BRIDGE
Engineering News, Leading Technical Journal Gives Fine Description of this Notable Structure and Its Building.

In recent issue of the Engineer ing News, the leading engineering publication in the United States sev- eral pages were devoted to the de- scription of the state highway bridge now being constructed at Tempe. The article is well illustrated with photographs and drawings from the engineers plans.
 The first part of the article. which is free from the ultra technical terms which often confuse the lay mind is. quoted as follows:
 The recently admitted state of Arizona had under its territorial gov ernInent an engineering department which comprised a well organized highway division. As d part of the work Q: this division. in the spring of 1911 it was ordered by the board of control of the territory to build q bridge across the Salt river at Tempe. AIaricopa county. nine miles east ot Phoenix, to carry the main line of q north and south territorial highway then under construction. The then territorial engineer. J. B. Girand, proceeded to carry out the instructions and started the design of q bridge q year ago. and since then has begun construction. The bridge. which is deScribed below. from information forwarded us by MT
Arizona republican., 1912-04-14

Girand. is somewhat out of the or
 dinary in design. z
 Salt River at the location of the bridge IS normally small stream only about forty feet in width. run ming through the typical sandy coun- try O. southern Arizona. It lies in a wide valley some 1900 feet from height to height of land. large
 portion of which is filled at the time of occasional floods. It was there fore necessary to carry the highway on some sort of structure to d
 distance of approximately 1900 feet
 and after study of the situation it
 was decided 70 build a series of re-
 inforced concrete arches. each 125
 feet span, making total length. of
 l5O1 feet. inches. The decision to
 use concrete was reached largely be-
 cause of the fact that convict labor
 could be used in the construction.
 thus reducing the cost of the bridge
 to suDerintendence and material On account of the failure of two piers of 2 large railroad bridge about 500 feet upstream from the proposed bridge site. it was decided that all piers and abutments of the new bridge should be built on bed rock Test holes at intervals of 100 feet along the center line showed that bed rock would be found at an av- craze oc 20 feet below the surface, except in the main channel at the north side of the river bed where the rock had a considerable sag. the greatest depth being A. feet below the surface"
 There follows a detailed technical description of the design. which is omitted. the structure being described in simpler language.
 The bridge is of special interest here, in that it is entirely product of the west and largely local The cement used comes from Fl Paso and the steel rods used for rein forcing the concrete, come from Col crado. IL should be gratifying to local engineers to know that Arizona can claim the designing, engineering and constructor of the bridge, which is a part Of the territorial high Way. ., Too often outside talent is called in to supervise work when To- cal engineers familiar with local con ditions. and equally able. are the log i ical men to solve AriZona's engineer ! ing .iroblems.
 The Tempe bridge. including the l is entirely built of con- ! crete. All the foundations rest on solid rock. and in some cases it was l necessary to dig down over forty feet [ below the ground surface to get to | the rock. and it required several i powerful pumps working together to Ieep the water pumped out during he digging process and while the concrete was being put into the The fact that all the are built on bed rock makes the bridge safe against the action of the river dur ng high water.
 The piers are the thick solid walls
Arizona republican., 1912-04-14

upon which the ends oc the arches
 rest. They are six feet thick where
 the arches join them and are about 22 feet long up and down stream.
 They widen out and lengthen as they
 go down. The up and downstream ends are rounded. The tops of the piers are pointed like the roof of a house. Near what would be the
 caves, are rounded Impressions in
 which the ends of the arches rest The arches are not solid clear across
 the bridge as they are commonly
 built, but consist of two so-called
 ribs. These ribs are r inches thick oross-wise and a little over three feet thick up and down. They are in
 reality curved beams. An idea of
 the general arrangement of the
 arch h-ribS and their cross braces
 might be formed by the following ex-
 ample. Suppose we took a large In-
 dian bow and drew up the string
 until tie distance from the string to
 the bow at the middle was 10 inches
 and tie dista ce between the ends
 of the bow was 60 inches. Now sup
 rose we had another bow shaped
 exactly like the first and the two
 two were placed parallel six inches
 apart with their ends resting on
 tab,el and at intervals of five inches were cross braces which held them rigidly in place. Now if the wood of these bows. instead of being wide and thin. was 1I% inches thick yer tically and al of an inch ia width. tn then we would have small model or the arch-ribs in the bridge The cross s-braces, in reality. are inches thick horizontally and vertically are as thick as the arch-ribs. to which nodded as part of the arch-rib and hold tho latter firmly in place and keep them from swaying side |, ways.
 In reality each oc the arch ribs is made of two separate pieces. the joint being in the middle of the ! span at the crown. or highest part i of the arch. This joint is called a hinge. At the hinge. the ends of the concrete arch-ribs do not rest against each other but have fitted . into their ends large cast-iron bear ings which bear against a large round steel bar or pin, the castings being milled out to fit the pin. These bearings are very similar to the. small bearings which hold the ], beH shafts in shops or factories, eX- sept that in this case the two halves If the hearing are held in place by he pressure of the arch ribs against
 he pin. The castings for each hinge ,omplete weigh about S60 pounds, md are local products, having been made at the Arizona Iron Works in Phoenix. These hinges allow the lrch ribs free action in the slight up or down caused by expansion or contraction due to ,hanges of temDerature or when ec- centric loads are on the arch A ull consideration of this action would cad too deeply into dry engineer ng and mechanical discussion.
 on top Of each pier are two col Imns r by "A inches in size and .bout 20 feet in height. On top of he arch-ribs at intervals of ten feet Ire columns or posts F inches square and of different heights so that their ops are on the same level with the
