Sow Heine Constructed at Omaha Will Measure 020 Feet. A bridge is now in course of erec tion across the Missouri river, between East Omaha and Council' Bluffs, which will be remarkable when completed as possessing the longest swing span in the; world five hundred and: twenty feet being fifteen f eet.longer than the swing span of the bridge over ' the Thames river, in- Connecticut. The structure has been' designed by Prof. J. A. I. Waddell, of Kansas City. : The construction of the pier of this swing span was completed a few months ago and presented, many . features of inter est to engineers. From a long article in Engineering News it appears that the work was begun by sinking a steel caisson for a foundation, much as A. P. Boiler -started work on the swing span of the large bridge in New York city a year ago. The outer shell of the caisson is forty feet in 'diameter and the inner twenty feet, the latter spreading out at the base to join the former jand thus give a cutting edge. Both shells are made of half-inch steel, reenforced ' at the lower, edge, where they meet, by two bands of inch steel, one inside and the other outside. The two shells were kept iri their proper relative positions by braces running between them, of which there were twenty in all, made ' of half inch plates. The caisson proper is six teen feet high. Above this the two steel cylinders extend to a height 6f one hundred feet, making ' a total of one hundred and sixteen feet from (he cut ting edge to the top of the cylinder. Above the caisson the plates are re duced in thickness to three-eighths of an inch and are braced by bars and rods rather than the heavier and more costly plates required in the -lower part' The friction of the earth against such a long 'cylinder is very great, and to reduce it a number qf pipes run down the whole length of the caisson and shell. These open at the bottom of the caisson and at intervals of ten feet above, so that by forcing water through them it was possible .to di minsh the hold of the surrounding earth on the steel. The space between the two shells was filled with rubble concrete. The sinking progressed with no mora than ' the usual -delays; as the shells went down under the weight of the concrete placed between them, aided by the removal of the earth within by means of , bucket dredges, plates were added to the top lintil the whole was at the required depth. The masonry pier built on top of this cylinder is of limestone backed by concrete. It is thirty-eight feet in diameter and eighteen . and one-half feet high. ' ' FAME OF. FRENCH ARTISTS. - It Is Increased by tbe Reproduction of Their Paintings. The . proportion of artists .in France of wide fame, whose work is frequent ly seen in print, is undoubtedly greater than in any other country; and one of many good reasons for this is certainly the exceptional skill and experience of the French in their use of reproductive processes, and especially those which not only translate the form of the orig inal, but the color as) well, says Scrib ner's Magazine. These color reproduc tions, printed from metal relief plates and not from lithographic stones the method usually resorted to by the rest of the world are unique. The secret of securing, with but few impressions, the marvelous combinations of color, the effects of washes, tones and lines, combined with a verve and character quite indescribable, is one of which only the French printer artist is complete master. Just .across ' the border the German printer has ' developed litho graphy with something of the same en thusiasm which the Frenchman has de voted to the relief plate, each practi cally making few excursions into the other's methods of. accomplishing the same thing. A still further reason for this great superiority is the innate, artistic sense of 'the French printer, or, more prop erly, the pressman. In other countries, . where engraver and printer are looked upon by the illustrator as his natural enemies, into whose hands a drawing is given grudgingly,, the statement, which, is not infrequently made by the French artist, that the reproduction or translation of the original into printed form is as effective in its .way as the drawing itself, calculated to excite de rision. CHANCE OF MARRIAGE. Ten Thousand Women Have Lost It, Says Walter liejt. "Therefore 10,000 women have now lost their chance of marriage.". Those fateful words,- it is almost unnecessary to say, are from the pen of Walter Besant. He is commenting upon the fact that the Bank of England has decided to appoint women as clerks, that various merchants' offices, are ' doing the same thing, and that in certain branches of the civil service women are being em ployed. It all means, he argues, that 10,000 .men will be unemployed, will seek fresh fields and pastures new, leaving 10,000 women in their places and 10,000 other women husbaudless! - He finds no ray of lightinthe gloomy prospect. Ho' admits that the country will save about 500,000 a year by the change. "But," he goes on, "10,000 possible families are not called into existence; Now 1 10,000 families may average 40,000 children. The country, therefore, loses the work, brains, pro ductive power, fighting power, colo nizing power of 40,000 men and women. Putting the productive power, of one person at 100, we have a loss in the next generation of 4,000,000 , a year. Which is better-rto save 500,000 ayear,, or to secure the services and strength of 40,000 English men and Women,, reckoned at 4,000,000. a year?" . , .

Ymmg George of Wales Did Not Relish. - Close Confinement, .Jr When Prince George of Wa les was a midshipman on the Canada., one of his old shipmates writes to ' the ' Youth's Companion, he delighted in escaping from the. supervision of ,the captain "and physician. .This, was not because the boy was a bad boy, or one who re belled against the rigid discipline to which he was held like any other mid dy, but because the captain and doctor watched over him with tho solicitude of a grandmother. The prince could not act freely like any other middy without exciting their anxietv lest he should fall overboard or make himself sick. One:day, off the lonely coast of New foundland, part of the ship's company got leave to go seine-fishing and, for a wonder,, the ; captain ; permitted the prince' to go, too. " We pulled, a long distance from the ship. It was a clear autumn day and the sport was delight ful. The prince, who evidently felt a boy ish glee in the sport, became a regular Jack Tar for the time nbeing. ; He in sisted on doing two men's share of the work of hauling in . the nets and col lecting . thfe fish. ' As a result, when the party returned to the ship in the evening the enthusiastic youth pre- sented a sorry-looking figure,' with not a dry stitch of clothing on him. The old captain was shocked, the physician grew alarmed, and the im prudent boy was forced to hie himself to his . cabin, go td bed and take some preventive dose. Thus has royalty to be watched and fondled and at the same time disciplined, .till it is filled with sadness over the misfortune of its birth. ' Miss Tucker, the popular writer, who was known by the initials A. L. O.

Jas. 0. Jones, publisher . of the Leader, Mexia, Texas, was eick . in bed for ten days with the grip during its prevalence a year or two ago. Later in the season he had a second attack. He say's : "In the latter case I used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy with considersible suc cess, I think, only being in bed a little over two days. 1 The second attack I am satisfied would have been equally as bad as the first but for the UBeof thexemedy." It should be borne in mind that the. grip is much tbe same as a very severe cold and requires precisely the same treat ment.

Country Life Said to He tbe Best Antidote ' . for Poorness of Vision. . . ' It is satisfactory . to be told by Mr. Ellis that . blindness in England . is "slowly," decreasing," though Great Britain still stands in this respect be hind two . other European countries and three more come before ' Ireland. Shortsightedness, however, appears tc be increasing everywhere, Germanj having a signal and sinister ' preemi nence in this respect.. - ' , A French doctor has noted- the re markable' fact that wild beasts caugh quite young or born in captivity be come shortsighted, the conclusion be ing that the eye adapts itself ' to "its habitual' sphere of vision, .and unless ."educated" to use Mr. Ellis' term," to see objects at a ' distance, loses thej capacity.pf so doing. ' Even in after life the eye may be, to some extent, so educated, though probably only when the myopia i hot -considered. 'I It is thus within ' the experience of the present writer, says the London Spectator, that his sight greatly im proved in days gone by; when ho be came a volunteer, by- practice at the butts, so that while at first he could pot see the target to shoot at -without spectacles at a three hundred-yard range, after a twelve month or so he . only needed to put on spectacles at four hundred yards. " But beyond that range he was never able to dispense with them. ' - :. Country excursions, are, therefore, extremely valuable as means of strenghening the sight of town-bred children, and 'the conductors of such , excursions should take pains to direct the eyes of the children to distant ob jects to the furthest hill, church tower, or other land mark noting, if possible, any incapacity to discern the selected object, and , then selecting some nearer one for the weaker sighted. .Mrs. ' Emily Thorne, ' who resides at Toledo, Washington, says she has never been able to , procure any ' medicine .for rheumatism that .relieves the pain so quickly and effectually as Chamberlain's Pain Balm and that she has also-used it for lame back with great ' success.
