Spanning the St. Lawrence

Time was when the wonders of
i the world numbered seven, but
that time has gone forever. Today,
wonders are numerous. One of them
is the giant boulevard of steel which
engineers have flung across and high
above the waters of the majestic st.
Lawrence river and is known to the
world as the Quebec bridge.
This structure is peculia. in design
In that the central span. $40 feet long
and weighing 5000 tons, hangs sus-
pended between the two end spans at
height of 172 feet above the water,
instead of resting upon piers. This
middle span was built ashore, foated
to mid-stream on scows and then lift
ed bodily into place and securely fast.
ened. This Job went down in history
as one of the greatest engineering
feats of all time.
Without sight of the bridge or a
photograph of it, 1t is well nigh i'm
possible for one to form an adequate
conception of it's tremendous size. One
of it's caissons goes down more than
100 feet below high water; one pier
rises 100 feet above it's foundation !;
the center to center width of the main
trusses is SO feet; the center to center
distance between the two main piers
is 1900 feet, and the total length Of
the steel work 1929 feet.
Its construction set the owner-the
Canadian National railways-back to
the tune of about $15,O0O,0O0. but it
shortened the haul between Halifax
and Winnipeg by about 200 miles, and
that was far more important

why Eliza was sold to Simon Legree IN

Harriet Beecher Stowe, one cannot ex-
plain, unless the producers wanted
some particular effects which the au-
thor overlooked. One must remember
however, that Uncle Toms Cabin" Is
merely classic. With what might
iokingly be termed IAN eye on the

the public at the outset that Mr.. Shell
