NEW YORK'S NEW BRIDGE.
Towers of Skeleton -Steel to Be Sixty
Feet Higher Thau the Brooklyn
Itridge A Mile and Three-Eighths

(Eiirl W. Mayo in Ainslee's.
"No I letter Illustration of. the rapiI-
Jty,with which the art of brila:e -on-
struction has been advancing in tliis
country -ouhI Is? obtainetl than will
lie presented by-these two bridges of
almost equal dimensions, standing
only a mile apart. The Brooklyn
bridge Is, comparatively neaking. a
new structure. It was ; oihmuhI for
tralfie in 1SS4. Nevertheless, the new
span, while built on the same princl-
ide, will 1k very different in general
apiearance.
"The contrast that will apiHal most
strikingly to the eye in a coniimrison
of j the two structures wili Is in the
appearan-e of the great towers carry
ing the cables on which t lie bridges
rest. In the Brooklyn bridge these
towers are of solid masonry for their
full height, and their dimensions bring
home to every Iwbolder an Idea of
solidity and strength. Firm as the
eternal hills whence we came, they
seem to say. In tlie new liridge .the
masonry piers will -'.extend only a
short distance above the5 water. The
towers will Is? of skeleton steel con
struction. Slender and open, spring
ing away to the height of : 3X feet,
they will look ligiit and fragile lieside

But steel plates and angles are as
durable as masonry, much cheaisr.

the Itrooklyn bridge the towers welsh
Ave times as niueii as all the rest of
the structure together. Of the' East
rjver bridge they will weigh alsnit the
same as 4 lie main -span. The" substi
tution of steel for' stone lu 'bridge
work is an Ameriean tleeidopment.
It has made .; American brhlges the
lightest, and cheapest in . the world.
"Next to the towers, ; the motd
nuique feature of the new bridge will
be the great stiffening ; truss which
will extend from pier to pier. In the
past one difficulty with suspnsiou
Iiridges has leen the swaying of the
main span due to the force of the
winds or the shocks Incident to traf
fic. The truss will prevent this, will
give stability to the structure and will
relieve the strain which -otherwise
would come upon the towers and
cables. It will be of steel, fortr-five
feet high, a great metal fence a Ion it
each side of the bridge roadway.
