ings, etc., but neither killing nor hurting
ANYBODY. It crossed the Savannah at the
dam; not so severe there as, on the other
side, excepting to give out heavy hail. It
covered quite a large area, giving at least
a sprinkling Of hail as it went.

Laying Bridge Floors.

The most interesting and dangerous
looking stage in the construction Of a
suspension bridge Is the building of
the floor. says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. In this work the builders
have nothing to rest their work on
and must build out each way from
the towers. securing the floor piece by
piece to the heavy steel bars suspend
ed from the main cables far above.
The work is done with derricks that
are equipped with booms long enough
to reach out ahead Of the finished
structure and hold the girders sus-
pended while they are being riveted in
place. AS each section Of the floor is
completed the derricks are moved
ahead and the construction Of the
next section Is begun.

lts Use In Diagnosing Diseases Of the

means employed.
The gold test. for instance, Is used
to prove definitely the existence Of

practice II is used mostly as cor

proof. Solutions of salt Of gold Of
carefully graduated strength are put

Fluid from the spinal column of the

EUROPEAN POLICEMEN.
Clever In London, sloppy" In Paris

and Polite In Berlin.
In humor. In urbanity. as in perfect
control Of his district, the London DO
liceman is the nearest approach to per-
lection. writes Percival Pollard. who
10 "Vagabond Journeys" has word
to say Of the various policemen OF the
world. He adds that In looks only our
American policemen equal those Of
London.
To the stranger the policeman seems
the politest of all Londoners. Chiefly.
however. II is In his control of traffic.
awheel and afoot. that he is unrivaled.
When you consider the narrowness of
the streets you constantly marvel at
the easy skill with which he solves
his problem.
The Paris policeman never looks any
thing but sloppy" and his notion of
controlling traffic at crowded street
crossings Is enough to make the oh
server shout with laughter. No one
minds him. and his attempts to regu-
late the speed of the Partisan cabby
only result in slanging match. OBJ
servation of Partisan street traffic is
all that is really necessary to impress
you with the belief that in case Of
need the Paris policeman would al
ways. with much noise and mcl0-
drama. arrest the wrong person.
The police of Berlin are vastly bet
ter than those of Paris. They do not
look as well. according to our notions,
as the English ''constables." but they
are fairly smart The men are polite,
control traffic inexorably and see to it
that Berlin is one of the cleanest and
most orderly of cities. But as rea-
soning individuals the Berlin police
men are hardly to be counted at all.
When anything happens to you more
serious than crossing congested
street or losing your way you are fair
~ certain Of running hard against a
city ordinance, mechanically enforced
by the man on the beat
No argument or persuasion prevails
There Is the regulation. and here the
instrument to enforce It The human
element is entirely absent Both Italy
and France are as to their police more
human.
