lmprovised Shelves.

Radiators may be- made very useful in
summer by turning them into shelves
upon which papers and magazines may
safely be laid. Make cretOnue covers
that hide them. Have a sheet of tin
or thin board to keep the cover tidy.
If reason is wanted for this precau-
ton, just remember how much work
is saved by not having 10 dust top and
bottom, sides and pipes vi tie numer-
Gus radiators about the house. Every
week the covers may be removed, shak-

BRIDGE OVER THE SEINE IN PARIS
and in the investment involved. There
are, for example, some $4,000 metal
bridges In the United States. or one
for every three miles of railroad, and
they aggregate 400 miles in length,
representing an investment of $780,
100000. or several times the cost of
the Panama canal. The subject Of
bridges is therefore one which de-
mands the most careful attention OF
all who have to deal with it. 1t is not
a subject which SHOULD be reserved to
the officials and engineers in charge.
but is one in which the public should
take an active and decisive interest
When a bridge of any consequence is
to he erected the designs should be
open to public inspection and all OBJ
jectons and suggestions should be
dealt with in advance.
The pleasing psychological and aes-
thetic effect of bridges has been rec
ognized since the earliest times, but
great bridges are result of modern
invention. being dependent upon the
cheap production of steel for their
evolution. since stone bridges have
never been constructed in anything
like the great spans Of the modern
steel bridges. The railroad. too. has
greatly increased the necessity for
bridges, so that except for the COM
parauvely small stone bridges Of an
Gent and medieval times. the princi-
piles of which were early mastered.
bridge building is a modern science.
The success achieved has been little
less than stupendous in a material and
engineering sense. for enormous struc-
lures have been erected which meet
the demands of traffic aud the various
conditions which were presented.
In two respects. however, the modern
bridge is for the most part a great fail
ure. II is neither artistic nor will II
have the long life of the ancient
bridges. The Romans 1000 years age
built bridges which are in use today. |
but no modern metal bridge. even with |
the most careful attention. can be ex |
pected to last even a small part of such |
period. Even if protected from the |
action of the elements. the steel which /
might then be reasonably expected to
Inst indefinitely will be subject to crys
fallization from the effects of vibration
Thus all our steel bridges are tempo
rary structures. This, however, will liz
the most cases prove a matter of con.
graduation. as when they pass away
they will be undoubtedly replaced by
more artistic structures. Only oui
stone bridges. however. may be expect
ed TO endure into the eras Of new races

APPROACHES
Modern Structures Neither Du-
EaOle Nor Artistic.

gineer Should CO. operate With the

and Its Approaches.

nance"
OF all the structures erected the
bridge is possessed of the greatest in
dividuaity, unity and feeling. 1t is at
once an inspiration and utility, and
it marks as no other structure does the
progress Of man from barbarism to
civilization. 1t is one of his greatest
triumphs over natures obstacles, for
it is not only an evidence of his ability
to merely construct-that is, to place
one stone upon another-but OF his
ability to think and SO to utilize the
forces Of nature as to cause one stone
to stand upon another with nothing di-
rectly beneath.
building can never produce the
sense of unity of the bridge and thus
can never inspire as the bridge does,
because, while portions of building
may be eliminated and still leave it a
building, the elimination of a portion
Of bridge means its destruction for
the purposes for which it is erected.
The bridge occupies thus a unique
position among the structures of man,
approached only by the dam, to which.
however. it is far superior, since the
dam always lacks in the sense of self
evident security which the bridge i'm
parts.
Not only is the bridge unique in its
position among structures. but it is
the largest single structure erected by
man and the most costly. 1t is also
highly important in point of numbers

THE STANDARD OF COMFORT

Other Things Are to Be Considered Be-
sides Money and Length of Life.
Money and length of life are not the
only things to be considered, says
George G. Whipple in the American
City. 1t is what lies between ones
birth and death that really counts. OF
what avail to add few years to the
length of life if personal comfort and
happiness are not enhanced? What,
after all, is the chief end of man-t0
live long upon the earth or to obtain
the best enjoyment from the best en-
vironment? Whatever may be oul
philosophy, we must admit that oul
five senses deserve consideration
Judged from this standpoint, some OF
the sanitary arts which do not yield
dollar for dollar profit begin to loom
large.
Clean streets, clean houses, clean
cars, clean rivers and clean harbors
have a value because they tend tc
make life more comfortable, more de-
cent and more moral. Sewage treat
ment, while it does not pay large vital
dividends. may yet yield profit meas
ured in terms of comfort and decency
To what extent can physical comfort
and happiness be secured in tene
ment house where people live crowded
together. 1000 to the acre-forty-three
square feet of land for each person,
square seven feet on side-not much
larger than in respectable cemetery
The greatest evil of congestion is that
true home life is rendered impossible.
The greatest evil Of machine labor is
that the laborer gets little mental
pleasure from his work. The lack of
home comforts and of comfortab bic
working conditions is bound to infiu-
ence both vitality and health.
