BRIDGES AND APPROACHES Modern Structures Neither Du rable Nor Artistic. ANCIENTS BUILDED WELL To Achieve the Proper Reeult the E n - gineer Should Co-operate With the Architect In the Deaign of the B rid g e and Ita Approachea. By FRANK KOE8TER. [Consulting civil engineer Hudson Term i nal building, New York, and author ot ‘ ‘Modern City Planning and Malnte- nance.” ] O f all the structures erected the bridge is possessed o f the greatest In dividuality, unity and feeling. It is at once an inspiration and a utility, and it marks as no other structure does the progress o f man from barbarism to civilization. It is one o f his greatest triumphs over nature’s obstacles, for it is not only an evidence o f his ability to merely construct—that Is, to place one stone upon another—but o f his ability to tbluk and so to utilize the forces o f nature as to cause one stone to stand upon another with nothing di rectly beneath. A building can never produce the sense o f unity o f the bridge and thus can never Inspire ns the bridge does, because, while portions o f u building may be eliminated and still leave It a building, the elimination o f a portion o f a bridge means its destruction for the purposes for which It is erected. The bridge occupies thus a unique position among the structures o f man, approached only by the dam, to which, however. It Is fa r superior, since the dam always lacks in tho sense o f self evident security which tho bridge im parts. Not only Is the bridge unique in its position among structures, but it is the largest single structure erected by man and the most costly. It is also highly Important In point o f numbers u r e .'t t Is neither artistic nor will it have the long life o f the ancient bridges. The Homans 2.000 years ago built bridges which are lu use today, but no modern metal bridge. eTen with the most careful attention, can be ex pected to last even a small part o f auch a period. Even If protected from the action o f the elements, the steel which might then be reasonably expected to last Indefinitely will be subject to crys tallization from the effects o f vibration. Thus all our steel bridges nre tempo rary structures. This, however, will in the most cases prove a matter o f con grntulntlon. ns when they pass nway they will be undoubtedly replaced by more artistic structures. Only our stone bridges, however, may be expect ed to endure Into the eraa o f new races. If such are to succeed us. B o th W a y s .

The correct stroke o f the legs Is ex actly like that o f a frog's hind legs Watch one o f these frogs Hiid copy ills style. You ennnot do better The legs are drawu up together slowly, not with a Jerk, until they ure gathered In close under the body. Then with a sudden, quick spring they are shot out behind, the ankles being turned so that the soles o f the feet present as flat a sur face as possible to the water and so offer more resistance from which to make progress. As the kick la made the legs should be spread out In the shape o f a letter V, but not allowed to sink fa r down under the surface of the water. I f they kick downward at an angle instead o f out straight be hind much o f their energy la wasted In unnecessarily forcing the body out o f the water lustend o f forward. and In the investment involved. There are, for example, some 80,000 metal bridges In the United States, or one for every three miles o f railroad, and they aggregate 1,400 miles In length, representing an Investment of $800,- 000,000, or several times the cost of the Panama canal. Tho subject o f bridges Is therefore one which de mands tho most careful attention of nil who have to deal with it. It is not a subject which should be reserved to the officials and engineers In charge, hut Is one in which the public should take au nctlvo nnd decisive interest When n bridge o f any consequence is to lie erected the designs should be open to public Inspection nnd all ob jections nnd suggestions should be dealt with In advance. The pleasing psychological nnd aes thetic effect o f bridges has been rec ognized since tho earliest times, but great bridges nre n result o f modern Invention, being dependent upon the cheap production of steel for their evolution, since stone bridges have never been constructed tn anything like tho great spans o f the modern steel bridges. The railroad, too, has greatly Inerensed the necessity for bridges, so that except fo r the com paratively smnll stone bridges o f an cient nnd medieval times, tho princi ples o f which were early mnstered, bridge building Is a modern science. Tho success achieved has been little less than stu|iendous In a material nnd engineering sense, for enormous struc tures have been erected which meet the demands o f traffic nnd the various conditions which were presented. In two respects, however, the modern bridge Is for the most part a greet fall Wo have known only one big league ball player to partake both o f baseball and cricket os a pustime.
