Sim » years ago a well known Lon
don solicitor, recently deceased, suc
cessfully defended a «nan charged with
burglary, and a few days later there
came by post a valuable gold hunter
watch, with an inscription to the effect
that It was a gift from a certain Lon
don society, presumably of doubtful
practices.
Years afterward the so
licitor had the watch stolen from his
waistcoat pocket, but It came back to
him by post with a letter of apology,
stating that "we never rob one of our

“Easy enough.

The most rem arkable piece of en
gineering on the Pekin-Hankow Rail-
mad, China's Iron backbone, Is Yellow
•lver bridge. Outside America It Is the
argest of Its kind In the world. It
measures almost two miles from end
’.o end and Is constructed entirely of
iteel. There Is no stream which shifts
its bed more than Yellow river. It Is
:alled China's sorrow, and Is said to
lave changed Its course no less than
nine times within the past 20 centu
ries, each time choosing a different
mouth by which It enters the Bea. At
the last great flood, when the waters
forsook their bed, many millions were
Irowned.
The bed of Yellow river Is of quick,
land, so deep that It was Impossible to
rse any masonry In constructing the
bridge. Steel tubes were sunk In place
jf the ordinary concrete pillars and
these were Joined together by steel
sands. There are eight of these steel
tubes, each of which goes 50 feet down
Into the bed of the river. Other steel
tubes extend down from 33 to 45 feet.
The arches of the bridge have a span
if 65 feet, where the current is strong-
sst, and of 98 feet In other places. The
iteel plies, or tubes, have been filled
with cement to give them strength,
»nd rock and stones have been sunk
»round their bases to solidify their
foundations.
The stones were first dropped down
into the river without any support and
were carried away by the quicksand.
Later m ats made of the branches of
trees, bound together with wire, were
let down around the plies and the
itones dropped upon them. In this
way tons of stone have been moired
i a suoh rafts about each pile and they
have made the bridge as firm as
though the piles were bedded In con-
arete. The bridge was put up In a
year and a half, and on the opening
lay a train of 21 cars passed over it
without causing a perceptible vibra
tion.
