slipped away. It was understood
however that a truce was struck
by an offer to take the caDtain
across the river to a telephone
office from which his orders
could be transmitted by tele

gated the Siuslaw would not have
stood inspection by federal offi

Bridge Expansion.
. Bridges expand or get larger in
the sun or in the daytime or in the
summer' and shrink in the shade or
at night or in the winter. The rule
is that heat makes everything ex
pand and cold makes everything
shrink. Cold is nothing but ab
sence of heat. So we may say that
everything contracts or expands ac-.
cording to the amount of heat in it
Metals have a most noticeable way
of changing their size under the in
fluence of heat. So when bridges
are built of iron and steel the engi
neer has to allow for the charge in
the bridge's length. After he reck-

The British Constitution.
In England there is no such thing
as a constitution as we understand
the word in this country. The
British constitution is merely a
mass' of law consisting partly of
statutes and partly of decided cases
and accepted usages, in conformity
with which the government of the
country is carried on from day to
day. l he constitution of the Tin t-
ed States is written and can be read
in twenty minutes' time, while the
British constitution is unwritten
save as it is contained in hundreds
of volumes of statutes and reported
cases.
SILOS
Heartily endorsed by
users in every section

of good clear, straight
grained lumber, such
as we handle, a silo
will last a life time and
the ensilage will always
be right as lumber
won't taint the flavor.
