Water Used to Wreck Bridge.

In the wrecking Of a Berlin bridge
by water pressure, adopted to avoid
conclusion, steel cylinder, fitted with
cement at the other end, was inserted
in holes about 80 inches deep bored
into the piers. A one-inch pressure
pipe connected the cylinder to a by.
draulic pump weighing only about go
hounds. AS pressure was raised in
the cylinder by the action of the pump
the pistons were gradually forced out
and the masonry blocks were split
away, one by one. The process is de-
gcribed as rapid and almost noiseless,
operating without risk to nearby build
ings.

4 very pretty and summary dress of
plain and dotted organdie achieves fine
style by combining these familiar ma
terials. Organdie in cottons, as tat
feta in silks, has proved peculiarly well
adapted to the styles of today. The
originality of the model lies in combin-
ing the plain and dotted surfaces so
that they play parts of equal impor-
lance, and it suggests the use of other
goods in the same way.
In the model shown the body and
skirt are of the plain organdie. Five

FEEDING THE IDLE HORSES
High-Priced Feeds Should be Avoided
in Order to Keep Animals in
Best Condition.

In the feeding of idle horses the
high-priced feeds should be avoided
in order to keep them in proper con-
dition at the lowest cost. 1t has been
found that idle horses do very well on
q winter feed consisting Of all the
hay, oat straw, cornstalks or sorghums
they will consume, so that little grain
is necessary. Idleness also permits
Of more thorough mastication Of the

| ing in great luxuriance, while the
whole landscape assumes the aspect OF
| a flower garden.
One of the most interesting trees to
be found on the mountain slopes OF Du-
range is a species of pine, the needles
of which the Indians and Mexicans boil
and use as remedy for stomach trou-
bles. It's taste is like that of anise
seed. The wood of these trees is much
used by the Indians in the manufac-
ture of their primitive violins.
One of the products Indigenous to
Durango, but one of which the state
does not boast, is venomous species
of scorpion whose sting is almost in
variably fatal in the warm regions Of
the state, but which is more painful
than dangerous in the higher and cool
er attitudes. In the vicinity of Duran
go City $4,000 of these spiders are
killed annually, some Of the natives
collecting from the municipality a
bounty of one centavo per scorpion.
City Has Wonderful Climate.
At an elevation of 5000 feet, the city
Of Durango, capital of the state, enjoys
matchless climate, which has earned
it the sobriquet, town Of sunshine"
1t is one of the oldest Spanish settle
ments in the republic, having been
founded by Captain Ibarra two years
before the followers Of Don Pedro
IL i~,;+
manent colonization of the United
States at st. Augustine. The site of
the present city was reached by the
adventurer and silver-seeker, Mercado,
who in 1852 discovered the famous
Iron mountain Of the suburbs. When
Ibarra arrived with his colonists the
country was occupied by nomadic saw
age tribes.
One of the odd customs Of the Du-
range district is the funeral ceremony
for children. can angel is being bur-
led" Is the explanation which a native
will give of gay procession headed
by a woman bearing aloft on board
bundle bound in white. The parents
of the child are obligated to give it
joyfully to heaven, to the accOmpan1-
ment of music and dancing. II there
is weeping the baby cannot enter para
disc until it has gathered all the tears.
One of the places of historic interest
is the town of Santiago de Papasquia-
TO, said to derive it's name from ''paz
quiero," meaning II want peace" The
phrase alludes to the defeat of the In
dians following massacre of the mis-
sionaries and burning Of the churches
by the Tepehuanes and Tarahumares
in 1916. After the outrage the Indians
gathered force estimated at $4,000
and marched on Durango City. The
governor of the province, with 600 val.
liant whites, determined to resist and
save the territory for Spain. In the
battle which followed, the Spanish
chroniclers declare, the governor COM
pletely overcame the insurgents, who
lost $4,000 men. After this overwhelm-
ing defeat the Indians wanted peace.
Durango derives it's name from the
old Spanish town of that name, in the
Basque provinces.
