cANTILEvER BRIDGE OF LOGS
Interesting Structure Built BY The
British Columbia indians Over
the Buckley River.

Some interesting examples OF In
dian ingenuity are afforded on the
River Skeena and it's tributaries in
North British Columbia. These wa
terways in their upper reaches flow
very swiftly and for the most part
through deep ravines. As 1t Is I'm
possible for the Indians to cross them
by means OF canoes they have resort
ed to bridging.
These bridges are interesting struc-
lures from the engineering point or
view, inasmuch as the cantilever prtn-
ciple is adopted. A bridge OF this de-
sign spans the Bulkeley river where
II is about 100 feet wide. and the
height from the bridge to water level
is about 80 feet.
It is built OF wooden logs. the legs
of the structure being formed OF sim
gle stout logs varying from so TO so
feet In length. The task OF lowering
them into position must have de-
manded considerable ingenuity on the
part OF The builders.
They are buried about is feet at
their lower ends and anchored by tho
| superimposition of masses OF large
| rock rolled and carried to the site.
The longitudinal members OF the
| shore spans are similarly buried in
the ground and dashed TO the ends
OF the diagonal legs.
These main members, correspond
ing to deck girders. are about 12o
feet in length. and 10 either end the
A members of the superstructure are
dashed. Elaborate cross bracing 10
| resorted to in order to secur greater
strength.
When the bridge was first erected
| the different members were simply
secured together by willow thongs.
| but when the British Columbian gov
eminent erected a more substantial
suspension bridge lower down the
river the Indians assembled and fol.
lowed the white mans operations with
great interest. They observed how
the thick wire cables we're slung and
anchored. md accordingly decided "a
introduce wire into their W struo
ture.
They procured the material for this
purpose from wherever they could
and introduced II in a most fantastic
manner. Also when the Grand Trunk
Pacific railway engineers commenced
working on their track near by 'h'
Indians procured odds and ends. such
as bolts and spikes. from them fol-

TO INSURE AGAINST POVERTY
Writer Is Confident That a Practical
Scheme Will Be Worked Out
Before Many Years.

Sickness Is an insurable risk and
there Is no doubt that some very COM
prehensive and acceptable scheme Of
insurance against it will yet. be worked
out. Whether. In the United States,
1t will be compulsory, state-managed
scheme is by no means so certain. But
the more that subject is agitated the
faster sickness loss will be reduced,
for agitation will direct attention to
public health, and means that are
tried and proved will be more exten-
sively employed to prevent sickness.
Steady, intelligent public attention
is what the whole problem Of poverty
needs. There is no doubt that a
great part of it is preventable. The
poor, it is true, we have always with
us. Time was when we had always
had slavery and smallpox with US.
Now out of half million persons one
person dies annually Of smallpox in
the United States. Time was when
slavery and smallpox were generally
taken as a matter of course. AS soon

way Of practically disappearing-not
by any magic formula but by tireleSs,

At length we have the means Of re-
ducing poverty to its practical, IRE
ducible minimum. It Is only very re-
Gently, as history runs. that we have
had those means. But now we have
the wealth-not enough wealth for
limousine and a grand piano to every
inhabitant and a four-hour workday {;

physical existence to every family.
We have the social and industrial or

knowledge. Poverty is social loss
and a social danger. We can take out

GAVE IDEA TO INVENTORS
Timothy AIden's Typesetting Machine
First Of the Kind to Be Placed
on the Market.

Timothy Alden was born. in Barn

the first man to invent typesetting
machine. In his boyhood Timothy was
apprenticed to printer. He was a
born inventor, and almost from his
first day in the printing office he be-
gan to think Of plans for improving
the various processes connected with
the typographical art. He invented
several. machines connected with
printing before he turned his attention
to the mechanical setting of type
After several years Of study he pro-
duced his first model of a typesetting
machine in 1846. This machine con-
sisted Of horizontal rotating wheel
with type cells on It's circumference
making receivers rotate with it to pick
out the type at the proper places. This
appliance was Ingenious but it effect

PICTURE THAT WOULD LIVE
Study for Painter Suggested in Incl
dent in the Early Life of
Daniel Webster.

When Daniel Webster was eight
years old he saw in country shop
a cotton handkerchief with something
printed on both sides of it. He gave
his whole stock Of boarded pennies to
secure it and absorbed it's contents
that night with his keen dark eyes, on
his fathers kitchen floor, by the light
of the roaring chimney fire. What
painter will be the first to make that
scene perpetual in our country's MIS-
tory and art? It was the Constitution
Of the United States, just then in the
dawn of it's benefcent power under
the lead of President Washington, that
the New Hampshire lad was then
stamping on his memory. He told the
story himself in 1850, and archly said:
Il have known more or less of that
document ever SINCE" Forty
years from that winter came the great
Hayne debate. But l would travel
farther to see masters picture of the
lad, reading the Constitution in the
rude home on the edge of the north
ern wilderness, than to see Healey's
great painting of the orator In the SEN
atorial struggle against the theory and
passions of secession; as l would go
farther to see picture of the springs
of the Amazon, far up under the cold
white splinters Of the Andes, than the
most adequate representation of the
imperial rivers tropical course
