draw was one inch lower than tn,
surface OF the east approach TO tn,

were loose, and the rails of the cal
| track were crooked. The bridge shool
and ratified considerably when heavy
vehicles passed over It and less vio
lently when light automobiles passed
over. Motorcycles also shook tn,
structure. Although speed on the
| bridge is restricted by law to six mile,
an hour some automobiles crossed
at higher speed, but the trolley cars
all of the larger type, ran slowly
Nobody was on the bridge TO direct

OVERLOOK BEAUTY OF FERNS
Choice Varieties Seem Not to Be as
Greatly Appreciated as They
Should Be.

One of the things which the florists
Of the United States have neglected TO
great extent is the growing of ferns.
To be sure We see many beautiful
specimens in the windows OF city IS
Establishments, but very few Of the more
choice varieties, which are really Just
as easy to grow, provided little care
is taken with them. How many know,
fOr instance, that there are scores of
varieties Of the "maidenhairT The
baby maidenhair is one of the dainti
est of these, its leaves being but little
larger than the head of an ordinary
pin. Another variety which is espe-
cially beautiful is the New Zealand
maidenhair. The stem Of this fern
tattens out as it nears the leaves. and
the leaves themselves are Superim-
posed one on another, which gives the
effect of several shades of green. OF
course there are also the gigantic tree
ferns of the tropics, which have fronds
from five TO fifteen feet in length. the
trunks sometimes being four or five
feet in diameter. but these would hard
ly do for lady's bouquet.
