The most remarkable piece of en- flneerlng on the Pekln-Hankow Rail road, China's Iron backbone, is Yellow river bridge. Outside America It is the largest of Its kind In the world. It measures almost two miles from end to end and is constructed entirely of iteel. There Is no stream which shifts its bed more than Yellow river. It is :alled China's sorro.r, and is said to dave changed Its course no less than aine times within the past 20 centu ries, each time choosing a different nouth by which it enters the sea. At the last great flood, when the waters forsook their bed, many millions were lrowned. The bed of Yellow river is of quick- sand, so deep that It was impossible to ise any masonry in constructing the bridge. Steel tubes were sunk in place jf the ordinary concrete pillars and these were Joined together by steel bands. There are eight of these steel tubes, each of which goes 60 feet down Into the bed of the river. Other steel tubes extend down from S3 to 45 feet rhe arches of the bridge have a span )f 65 feet, where the current is strong est, and of 98 feet In other places. The iteel plies, or tubes, have been filled with cement to give them strength, ind rock and stones have been sunk around their bases to solidify their foundations. The stones were first dropped down Into the river without any support and vere carried away by the quicksand. Later mats made of the branches of trees, bound together with wire, were let down around the piles and the itones dropped upon them. In this way tons of stone have been motred n such rafts about each pile and they bave made the bridge as firm as though the piles were bedded in con irete. The bridge was put up in a rear and a half, and on the opening flay a train of 21 cars passed over It without causing a perceptible vibration.

I was waiting near the elevator in the factory building for my friend to come down when I noticed a small boy sitting In one corner of tha hall hold ing a large, thick sandwich. He eyed the sandwich lovingly for a long time, then he carefully lifted off the top slice of bread, took out a piece of dill pickle, ate it, and replaced all as be fore. In a few seconds he again re moved the top piece, extracted a piece of pickle and a piece of meat and re placed the top. Again and again the performance "as repeated until all the pickle and almost all the meat were gone, the sandwich, however, appear ing Intact as at the beginning. "Why dont you eat up your sand wich and not pick at it in that way?" I asked the boy, with some curiosity. "Why," he answered, looking up with great Innocence, "It ain't my sandwich."
