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.

KOE8TER.
[Consulting civil engineer Hudson Term i

‘ ‘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.

are drawu up together slowly, not with

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

Old New England graveyards are
Dot the only ones which contain curl
oua epitaphs. The old time dweller of
Maine who “ died o f a falling tree,” as
bis headstone asserts, had a fellow tn
misfortune In fnroff Austria, as to
shown by W. A. Balllle-Qrohraan's
“The Tyrol and the Tyrolese.”
A wooden slab, painted with the rep
resentation o f a prostrate tree under
which lies a man in spread eagle atti
tude, bears testimony to the violent
death o f “ Johann Lemberger, aged
fifty-two and three-quarters years.
This upright and virtuous youth was
squashed by a falling tree.”
The record of Michael Gerstner to
even more succinct and convincing.
He “ climbed up, fell down and was
dead.”
