Gratifying State of

damage was done to the bird life OF
the Everglades by hurricanes in Flor.

Roman Bridges Excite
Wonder of Engineers

Among the notable bridge-building
achievements OF history are those con
structed In the days Of the Roman
empire, says writer in the Detroit
News. Some of them still are In use,
to the amazement OF engineers, while
others stand In broken majesty, the
results OF earthquakes or OF purposed
human destruction, for the delight
and wonder OF all beholders
The two bridges, which lead from
the Forum side OF Rome to the island
In the Tiber and on to the Trastevere,
or st. Peters side, were built In the
Second century, B. G. They have
been used very much more than the
Appian Way viaduct- They have stood
there against frequent floods and con-
slant usage these 1000 years and they
bid fair to keep on standing. The fine
bridge across the Tiber, north Of
Rome, built to carry the Flaminian
way northward, is another good ex-
ample OF bridge more than 1000
years old, which has seen steady and
hard use and still appears as good as
ever.
