Boston Pine Arch BrIdoe unIoue.

An engineering curiosity, said to be
unique In this country and to have
only one parallel in Europe, Is the
plpe.arch bridge over the Sudbury rlv-
or, which carries Boston's water sup
ply. The span is so feet, and the
steel pipe, ~ feet in diameter, rises
5ia feet above the horizontal at the
center. The pressure on the aOut-
ments when the pipe is filled with wa
ter is very great and Is resisted by u
mass Of concrete 40 feet thick behind
each abutment Across the curved
top runs n hand-rulled foot bridge.
The steel of the pipe in the arched
portion is * Of an inch In thickness.

Seek Fossil Treasures.

Graves unmolested for hundreds Of
thousands OF years, according TO
scientists. were Jared to daylight at
Torrance near Los Angeles, when a
blast Of 100 pounds OF dynamite
pushed into the air fossils of antedilu-
Wan beasts. 1t was a treasure blast,
especially set for a group Of California
scientists who visited the line pits
which have given forth molars of the
two-toed horse, the saber-toothed IL
ger, the giant sloth and other peculiar
inhabitants OF the jungles which ex-
listed hercabouts n half a million years
or more before Los Angeles was
thought Of.
A whole mass Of interesting dscoy-
cries was made In the debris of the
explosion. Something Of the size OF
these prehistoric monsters may be
cleaned from the fact that one tooth

WELSH TUNES HAVE SURVIVE
Traditional Melodies Still In Va
Though They Have Not Been
Committed to Paper.

Traditional Welsh music has found
place In the services Of the Roman
Catholic cathedral at Westminster
The attention Of DR.. u. d. Terry, the
organist Of the cathedral, was drawn
to the tunes some years ago by David
Lloyd George. At service Of benedlc-
tion recently the 20 Salutaris hostla"
and the "Tantum ergo" were both
sung to ancient Welsh melodies. The
tune used for the latter is one Of the
prime minister's favorltes.
"These old tunes have been wonder
fully preserved" Doctor Terry told a
London Daily Mail reporter. MANY
Of them. date from the pre.Reforma-
ton period. For centuries they were
not written down, but they were saved
by the Welsh genius for unaccom
panied singing. They were handed
down from one generation to another
Many Of them have been recovered
and published IN Welsh hymnnls, but
unhappIly In too many cases their
harm0nles and even their melodies
were revised In accordance with the
musical Ideals Of the last century.
1T is still possible, however, to
hear them sung in all the beauty Of
their original form In remote Welsh
villages, and intelligent Welsh mu-
slcians OF today are realizing how
very much more beautiful these old
versions are. DR.. Walford Davies, n
Weshman who is now professor Of
music at the University Of Wales
may be trusted to see that good care
Is taken of them"

Couldn't Pleas. Aer Husband.

Husbands are curious animals They
have odd tastes and likings. Really
their fancies are tickle. Their appetites
and passions are not easily restrained.
The clerk Of any divorce court knows
that. Here was the case the other day
Of the husband who complained be-
cause his wife was taking on too much
figure. He said that she had the waist
of walrus and could wear meal
sack for kimOnO. He said that no
body could love fat wife.
So the spouse took up the matter of
reducing. She read all the literature
pertaining to the antl-fats. Finally she
got hold of some powerful dope that
bit into her frame like buzz saw. She
shed weight as II It were being swept
or with a broom. From being fat she
went into reverse English. She be-
came really thin.
All for the love Of a husband!
Now the man il suing the wife for
a divorce. He says that the wife
took drugs and cosmetics that made
her wan and ethereal and that she
lost and forfeited his love In the do
Ing. He doesn't care for any pale
and sickly companion about his home.
