To Build Longest Bridge.
It seems probable that next year a
commencement will be made with the
construction Of the railway bridge be-
tween Rugen Germany and the main
land, which will be the longest in the
world, exceeding even that over Ho-
hahgho, with its $3.50 yards. The cost
OF this great engineering work is, how
ever, not expected to amount to more
than 100000, or less than a third of
that Of the Forth bridge.
It would appear to be rather the
success Of the train ferry from Sass
nitz to Trelleborg, in Sweden, than
the eve~r-increasing popularity Of Ru.
gen as a holiday resort, which has led
to the projecting Of the contemplated
viadua. Originally It was estimated
that the number of railway passengers
to or across the island would reach
100000 only in 1915, but so popular has
the route proved that this figure was
almost attained last year.
