A .MAGNIFICENT AltCH BRIDGE.
Sir JoMih Bazalgettn has presented to the
Metropolitan Boar.1 of Work, of London a re.
rort favoring tho construction of a new bridge
over the Thames, near the Tower. The bridge
he recommend, is a in?le arch of Sot) fort
by lar the largest arch span in the world. The
following u an extract from his report- I have
considered the relative .nitability of various
forms of bridges. vi2.,,usi..,in bridme. air.
er bridges and arch bridges, and of the mate
a! of wlncli mob bridme could most advanta
geously bo constructed. Suspension bridges
although 111 many instances economical forivul,
spans, are liable to considerable vibration will
heavy trallic, and seem to be unsuited to thi.
locality owing to tho great bight that would be
required for tho towers, the character of adjoin.
Ing banks and the length of the anchor chains.
A straight girder bridge coukl not conveniently
be built to cross tho river in one span, ami such
lorm of construction would render it necessary
to place two piers in the river as above
described. An arched iron bridge of one si
with a roadway over it, would havo a very
naiuisoino appearance, but it would hpcpth!-
ionn i nnni Mamat, to that the strain
upon the metal and thrust upon tho abutments
would be very great, and it would therefore ro'
qtlln a heavy mass of metal, and become very
costly. It would, moreover, niinecessarili-re.
.luce toe headway for shipping near to' its
haunches 1 am of opinion that a trussed
girder bridge of ouo span, in an arched form
with tho roadway carried across the arch, ami
upended from it, will probably afford greater
advantages than any other sort of bridge. The
East River bridge now in course of construc
tion between New York and Brooklyn will be
the largest span bridge in existence. It is a
.suspension brnlgo with a central span of 1,1100
feet. The proposed suspension bridge over the
Firth of Forth, which it is expected will shortly
be commenced, is designed with two Bpans of
1,600 feet each, but the platform which it is to
carry will bo only one-fourth of the width, and
designed to carry only ono-fonrth of tlio mov.
ing load that the Tower bridge is intended to
carry, so that the total weight of the greatest
span with the full live load upon it will not he
more than one-third of the total weight of the
Tower bridge when so loaded. The Tower
bridge would be the largest arched bridge in
existence,
Great advances have of late years been made
in the manufacture of steel, and it is now pro
duced at a cost nit much in excess of that of
iron some few years back, whilst its much
greater strength to resist both tensile and coin,
prossive strains enables tho weight and cost of
the structure formed of it to be greatly roduced,
and renders it especially suitable for bridge of
large span. The St. Louis bridge which has
reeontly been built over tho Mississippi is a
bridge of tho same character, and is constructed
of the same material, although ita width and
span are not so great as those of tho bridge now
proposed.
It is intended to make the width of the new
bridge 00 feet, subdivided in two footways of
IS feet each, and a carriage way of 30 feet. The
lower iirolgo will, tlieretore, bo in all six feet
wider than tho London bridge, which is .VI feet,
the carriage-way lieing :14 feet 8 inches, and
each of the foot-wavs 0 feet 8 inches in width.
I estimate the cost of such a bridge, if erected
in iiireo spans, incoming me coat ol lonniug
approaches and the purchase of the property re
quired, at about CI, 100,000, whilst the cost of
alien bridge, II erected of one span, which 1 rcc
ni, would lie aooul K1,20U,UUU.

Yes, bless the Lord. 1 shall be ninety if 1

happens that I've lived so' long, is I've saved
my breath. I never fret, scold, or talk aoaodaJ
