RrIdae Patched wlth Concrete.

Much success is reported from the
new method of Strengthening old
bridges recommended by the county
surveyor of Shropshire, England. An
old bridge of Thomas Telford, built
95 years ago between Shrewsbury and
Ludlow, was found to owe its unsafe
condition to two seriously cracked
cast iron ribs, and restoration has
been undertaken by incasing the ribs
in ferro-concrete. The accomplishment
of the work, restoring the way-again to
heavy traffic, is said TO have made the
structure even stronger than when first
built the work on the defective ribs
was done from suspended platforms
without interference with the road
way, and the repairs have not appre.
ciably changed the appearance of the
bridge.

New Hospital Shin.

A special type of hospital ship, with
light draft and provision for the
peculiar climatic conditions, has re-
suited from the military operations in
Mesopotamia, 1t is 100 feet long, with
a breadth of 80 feet, but, to provide
for floating in the Tigris during the
dry season, its draft is only three
and one-half feet. Small propellers
run at high speed in tunnels in the
vessels bottom give a good rate of
travel, with little risk of damaging the
machinery if run aground. To lessen
weight and the radiation of heat into
the vessel, oil engines are used, aud
one of $50 horse power, making $50
revolutions per minute, drives each
propeller. To deal with the tempera-
ture extremes, arrangements are made
for sending cooled or heated air to all
parts of the ship. The equipment In
cludes an ice-maklng plant, soda wa
ter machine, water evaporator, still
for obtaining fresh water, and a dis
injecting room, besides the essential
operating room, with its appliances.

Evolution in Partridqes.

A curious example of the effects of
environment and changed conditions
of life upon the forms of animals is
furnished by species of partridge
that lives in the Canary islands. More
than four hundred years ago. says the
Los Angeles Times, the Spaniards
brought the red-legged partridge~from
Europe to those islands, and the bird
has continued to flourish there; but.
as recent examination proves II has
undergone changes clearly brought
about by the conditions under which it
lives.
Its back has turned from russell to
gray. That, apparently, is protective
coioring, since the bird passes its life
among gray volcanic rocks.
Its beak has become .one-fourth long
er and thicker than that of its ances-
tors and of its European relatives, and
its legs aNo have increased in length
and grown stouter.
Those changes are exactly such as
were needed to suit 1t to the life that
1t is now compelled to lead amid the
rocks and on the mountainsides of the
islands, where it needs stronger ply
steal development than it needed in its
former home.

Laraest Earth Enhancement.

The Belle Fourche irrigation dam In
South Dakota is the largest earth EN-
bankment in the world It's construc.
ton was authorized by congress at a
cost of $5,000,000. From an engineer
ing standpoint this project is one of
the most interesting which the govern
ment has yet undertaken. It's princi-
pal structure is the earthen dam. This
dixie, which closes the lowest depres-
sion In the rim of natural basin, is
$500 feet long, 20 feet wide on top and
Is feet high in the highest place. The
inside face of this structure, which
has slope of one to two, is protected
from wind and wave action by two
feet of screen gravel, on which are
placed concrete blocks each by 6
feet thick. The cubical contents of
this dixie are 100000 feet, or about
half Of the famous pyramids of
Cheops in Egypt The reservoir ere
ated by this dam covers about 1900
acres and will be the largest lake in
the state.

Leaps From Balloons.

Six successful leaps from captive
balloons are to the credit of an Amer
lean aeronaut now in London for re-
cuperation after months of active serv-
ice with the British armies in France.
In only one of these exploits was the
man injured. On this occasion while
falling sideways strapped to his para
chute which moved with a stiff wind,
his feet caught in the ruins Of she'll
wrecked mill, and the muscles of his
side were seriously strained before
he could get himself loose.
my most pronounced sensation in
all my leaps has been that of Joy at
escaping my assailant," the aeronaut

100000
TONS OF SHIPS
May Be Built By U. S. For Foreign
Countries

Washington, May 14.-Orders fol
possible 100000 gross tons of ship.
to be built for foreign account ir
American shipyards may be placed
as the result of. an order by Presi-
dent Wilson permitting building, OF
such ships providing it could be done
without interfering with construction
Of the American merchant marine.
The Presidents action was announc-
ed in statement issued today at the
White House.
Officials of the Shipping Board to-
day would not venture more than a
guess as to the tonnage American
shipbuilders might expect as the re-
suit of the presidents order, which
it was said at the White House had
been issued at suggestion at Chair
man Hurley, Shipping Board.
Substantial orders, it was said by
officials, may be expected for the Pa
cifc and Atlantic yards.
Norway is expected to place large
orders, possibly 100000 tons, and
France and Italy probably will let
contracts for considerable tonnage,
it was explained.
France has placed orders for $780,
900 tons in England for delivery in
three years, and officials believe may
give American yards good share of
the 100000 additional tons which
that country is expected to require.
Italy, it was said, probably will be in
the market for approximately $780,
900 tons, part of which may be built
in the United States.
At the Shipping Board, it was ex-
planned that few orders could be
placed Immediately as the capacity of
the yards for foreign account was
yet limited. Only five or possibly
six yards are now in position to take
on foreign orders, but this situation
will gradually be relieved, it was said.
In respect to the prices to be quot
ed by American ship builders to for
eign interests, it was recalled that the
last price made for ships was $40
a ton. All contracts for foreign
ships will be placed privately. Ship
ping Board officials said, under the
general supervision of the Board.
President Wilson shortly after his
irst arrival in Paris is understood to
nave told a high French official that
