According TO the Engineering Rec
ord, many states have large number
OF inferior bridges, Of both wood and
steel. The town and county officials
who have the bridges and highways
in charge often put of needed repairs
to the bridges. because they prefer to
spend the money at their disposal in
improving the surface Of the roads
work that the public is much quicker
to notice and praise them for. Merely
from the point OF view OF safety it is
wise to improve no road until every
bridge on il is put into proper shape,
for smooth. metaled roadways and
weak, poorly maintained bridges form
a dangerous combination. In cases in
which the road commissioners have
little control over the bridges the con-
ditions are likely to be even more dan
gerous. Putting so much OF the money
into the bridges rather than into the
roads may not be practicable in every
case: but in every case enough money
should be put into the bridges to
make them safe beyond question.

War and etiquette.

Many a little convention has had
its death knell sounded on the battle
field, and after every great war new
customs are born. DIsraeli relates an
instance OF this in more confined
field in Italy Such was the party
hatred Of the Guelphs and Ghibellines.
the two great Italian factions, that
they carried their rancor even into
their domestic habits. AT table the
Guelphs placed their knives and spoons
longwise; the Ghibellines across; the
one cut his bread across, the other
longwise. Even in cutting an orange
they could not agree. for the Guelph
cut his orange horizontally and the
Ghibelline downward"
