It has been tritely said that while the
urt of bridge building is ancient und the
science of bridge bnilding is modern,
the skill of the present engineer has be­
come the special flower and glory of our
age of steel.
The earliest timber bridge on record
is that which was thrown over the
Rhine by Julius Ctesar; but long ages
before the Chinese built stone bridges
of great magnitude aud first introduced
in their construction the principle of
tho arch. One of theso is four miles

centuries Bouie very beautiful bridges
havo been erected in Franco, and in
Venice there aro no fewer than 339.
In Great Britain tho art kept pace
with its progress on tho Continent, the
most ancient bridge being that nt Croy-
hind, Lincolnshire, said to have been built
in 860. The bridgo over the Trent at Bur­
ton, in Staffordshire, was built in the
Twelfth century. It was 1,545 foot long.

tion occupied eighty-three years. After
having served its purpose more than 650
years it gave placo to tho present struc­
ture, which was begun in 1824 and
finished in 1831. This is but ono o' six-
ben of tho finest ar< hitcctnral works of
their kind in tho world that span tho
Thames.
The first metal bridge in England was
erected in 1779 over the Sovcrn, and it is
a curious circumstance that Thomas
Paine was a successful contriver of an
iron bridge, which in 1787 he proposed
to construct without any iron piers over
the Schnylkill in Philadelphia, as the
stream was npt to bo choked with ico in
the spring freshets. His backers liecom-
ing bankrupt, however, tho structure
was not finished and the materials were
used in England. This work was long
regarded as a great triumph of art, its
I span being 236 feet long with a riso of 34
feet.
Suspension bridges wore erected in
America as early as 1796 by a Mr. Fin­
lay, who in 1801 took out a patent, and
in 1811 eight bridges had been built on
his plan. Snlwcqnontly, in 1826, a chain
cabio suspension bridge was built across
tho Straits of Monui, which until then
formed a troublesome obstruction upon
tho great road from London to Dublin.
Many beautiful suspension bridge's have
sinco been erected in Great Britain and
on tho Continent. Tho most rcmnrkablo
wire suspension bridgo in Europe, on ac­
count of its dimensions and height, is
that of Freyburg, in Switzerland, which
has a span from pier to pier of 870 feet
and is suspended at tho height of 167
feet above tho river which tlows un­
der it.
Ono of tilo .most wonderful achieve­
ments of engineering nrt is tho steel
bridge aero-» tho Firthof Forth, iuScot­
land. It has tho long<st i pun, thogreat­
est weight and tho greatcut length of
any yet built.
Tho structure shown in tho illustra­
I tion, which thousand:« of workmen are
now hurrying to completion, will I m
known us the Tower bridge, inasmuch
as it will cross tho Thames near the
Tower of London. It i.» ono of tho most
rsmarkablo undertakings of tho kind in
existence, spanning us it does what is
perhaps the busiest waterway on earth.
The peculiarity of its construí lion con­
sists in two huge leaves weighing 050
tons, each of which is raised and lowered
to a level thirty feet almvo high water,
somewhat after the manner of an ancient
drawbridge, thus affording passage for
rivercraft. They aro shown in the ent
open. A hundred feet alero this bridge
level is nnother roadway for the accom­
modation of foot passengers, who are to
be lifted to it in elevators running
through tho towers whenever tho lower
portion of the bridge is open anil travel
is impeded. Thu cost will be $8.500,000.
A project is now tinder discussion for
spanning the Hudson river with steel
wire snsjR'nsion cables that will support
a highway fifteen feet loftier than tho
great Brooklyn bridgo and largo enough
to accommodate six lines of railroad.
Its iqinn, as contemplated by the engi­
neers, will bo 2,850 feet long and 150
feet above tho water. Coinjiared with
the Brooklyn bridge its length, inclnd-
ing anchorage, will lie 6.5<X) feet', the
ini
former moiHure» 3,700 feet. Each an­
chorage of the North River bridgo will
weigh 600,000 tons, wliilo that of tho
Brooklyn bridge weighs only 60,000
tons. Tho C'Mt is roughly estimate«! at
$16,000,000.
Among other suspension bridge» in
the Unite«! Htates is that at Wheeling,
which has a span of 1,010 feet; at Niag­
ara. with a span of 621 feet anil a road­
way 250 feet from the line of the river;
at Pittsburg, with n»pan of 1.345 feet; at
Cincinnati, with a total length of 2.220
feet and a span of 1.057 feet. Other ex-
of advanced bridgo nrchitectura

HOW THEY RAISED THE
MONEY.
The Miui.fr In Which Otsego's Library I
Promoters "Got There."
Otsego was never suspected of being
among the most enterprising towns of
Michigan, but its talented women have
lately given it national fame. It has
about 2,000 people, two big paper mills
and a chair factory, and according to
one vexed citizen it also has “more rich
men who do nothing for tho place than
any other two thousand town in the na­
tion.” However, that is a common com­
plaint with those who liavo more enter­
prise than money.
Early l.iat year forty Otsego ladies
organized into tho Ladies' Library asso­
ciation, raised money in all the ways
known to the sex, such as socials, fairs,
THE OTgKOO LIBRARY,
dances, readings, etc., and built a very
pretty structure nt a cost of $2,000.
They worn but forty dollars in debt, and
two young ladies started out to raise tho
amount. When they called on Mr. N.
W. Mills, whoso wife is president of the
association, ho jocularly offered fivo
cents each for kisses anil wtut promptly
taken tip. Then Mr. Burdeen, owner of
one of tho paper mills, raised the offet
to fifty cents, and thus contributed some­
what.
Tho ladies declared that this would
do for a joke, but n little of that sort of
thing was quite enough. They resolved
that each of tho forty should raise a dol­
lar in some novel way, but not by kiss­
ing. The plan watt carried out and the
reports made at tho meeting in the town
hall created no end of fun. Tho little
city had a jubileo over it. Mis» Maggie
Smith bandaged the arm of a law stu­
dent who had been badly cut and
charged him a dollar. Her treatment
was correct and the surgery a success.
Mrs. N. W. Mills took a step ladder
and washed storo windows at the Chi­
cago prico till sho had earned a dollar.
Mrs. P. W. Travis and Mrs. H. L. Miller
ran a hand organ, tho collections rang­
ing from a peuny up to ten cents. The
local re]>orter adds that tho organ was
•‘of tho Annie Rooney vintage.” Miss
Hattio Mitchell earned a dollar splitting
wood. Mrs. George Easton blacked
boots. thio sold doughnuts from house
to house, another sewed on buttons for
boarders ut the hotel, and last of all
Miss Cregant sold a spring poem to the
editor. So tho money was raised, tho
fun was all of » good sort and now do­
nations of books to the library are in
order.

Which Has Shown Higher Wages.
It has been asserted un<l reiterated
over and over again that wages lu.vfl
fallen since the McKinley tariff was en­
acted. It is the one single survivor of
the multitude of falsehoods sent abroad
during the campaign of lying in 1890.
It survives, not that it was more fit than
tho others—"McKinley prices,” for ex­
ample—but from the difficulty of secure
ing labor statistics complete enough to
obliterate it. "McKinley prices" were
disproved by simply comparing the mar­
ket reports as published before and after
the new law took effect. But there are
no regular reports published on rates of
wages. Tens of thousands of changes
are annually made iu this country, some
Involving increased, others decreased
wages or hours of labor. They have oc­
curred, do occur and will occur inde­
pendently of any tariff in response to the
varying conditions of industry. If ore
dors for goods come flowing in, the labor
lu tho industry which makes the gods
will lie fully employed and wage reduc­
tions will bo impossible. But if short
crops curtail the purchasing [lower of
consumer» or the demand becomes inad­
equate to the supply because of over­
production or a change in fashion even,
or for any other cause, labor in the in­
dustries concerned will bo injuriously
affected, and if tho unfavorable condi­
tions continue wages will fall. Tho law
of BUpply and demand will continue to
operate inside, aud so far independently
of nny tariff law that can I m framed.
Thousands of changes in wage rates,
both tip anil down, were mado in tho
most pros[ierous years this country ever
knew; they are made now under the
McKinley tariff, and will bo inado un­
less Edward Bellamy or Henry George
succeeds in revolutionizing the existing
industrial system.
As a rule, changes in rates of wnge»
do not get into tho public pre» beyond
the local papers. A reduction in wages,
being more unusual in this country than
an advance, is more likely to lie chron­
icled. Ever sinco tho McKinley law
[Missoil, tho Free-trade papers all ovor
tho country have watched liko vulture»
for Instances of wages reduction and
gloated over these misfortune» of the
working people liko birds of prey. The
New York Times in particular lias been
on the alert to record and exult over
every reduction of wages iu order to as-
crilm It to tho McKinley law. Reading
its editqrials on this subject ono would
get the impression that a 5 og 10 per
cent, decrease iu wages Was tin unknown
occurrence befoto the McKinley act
passed. Wo have before pointed out its
»hallow dishonesty in thin res|M0t. It
collects ten or a dozen or a score of
cases of reduced wages and proclaims
that wages generally are falling. It
heeds not the thousand* of case» of in­
creased pay which liavo occurred under
tho new law.
Only nfter a painstaking canvass of
all the industries of tho country and of
the wage changes occurring in them
can any ono form nn intelligent opinion
as to whether tho general course of
wages is up or down. But your zealous
Free-trade “reformer” doos not care for
that. He is bent on making out a case
against Protection, aud iu his desper­
ation at the lack of favoring evidence
does not hesitate to mannfactnrc it.
In this connection it may not I m ami»
to call attention to tho fact that the an­
nual report of the bureau of statistics of
labor of New York stato for IMlt chron
idea 1,941 cases of increased wages.
2,085 cases of decrease in the hours of
lalM«—virtually increase of wages, also
—and only 441 cases of rodneed wages.
Yet all that year the New York Times
was loudly proclaiming that wages were
generally falling.
No less instructive is tho record of tho
state bureau of labor statistic» of Illi­
nois, which has issued u report on coal
statistics for that state. Not only has
more coal been mined in the first year
of tho new tariff and more men been
employed than ever before, but wages
have averaged higher while coul lias
been ebeapor.
With a single exception, and that the
most unimportant, wage» were higher
in 1891 than In any of tho threeotlier
years considered. These are the result»
arrived at by scientific investigation.
Hi mi I ar results would appear In every
state from similar investigation». Wages
are going np under tho new tunff.
