BRIDGE OVER THE CANOES.
Mile Long Structure Built For Eastern
Bengal State Railway.

The task of bridging the Gauges, the
great river Of northern India. which is
sues from an ice cave at the foot of the
Himalayan snow bed. has been assign
cd to Il group Of English engineers,
says the Pail Mall Gazette.
This bridge. more than Il mile in
length, is to carry the Eastern Bengal
State railway over the GangeS from
Damukelia to Sara Chat. the place Of
pilgrimage to which hundreds of thou
sands of devout HinduS repair once a
year to wash away their sins in the Sa-
cred river.
Spanning the river. the bridge will
be carried on steel trestIes, which in
turn will be supported Oh massive
steel grills in granite piers. The con-
tract calls for fifteen main spans. each
$50 feet long and 50 feet high and
weighing I 300 tons.
The Gauges is essentially river Of
great cities. Calcutta. Patna, Benares,
Allahabad, all lie on its course, and
the ancient capitals Of Agra and Delhi
are on the Jumna, higher up. Great
changes take place from time to time
in the river bed of the Gauges, which
considerably alter the face of the coun-
try. Extensive islands are then thrown
up, and many decayed and ruined cit
les that are discovered attest the
changes in the river bed in ancient
times.
The bridge will cost about $G,250,O00.
