How Bridges Breathe.
Like us mortals, big steel bridges
feel the changes In the weather, and
must be built to wlthstnud them pr
perish.
. In the bent of summer a bridge; Is
appreciably longer than It is In winter,
nnd nt various times of tho year It
mny be longer on one side than on the
other, as when a hot s;m plnys on one
flank, nnd a cold wind on the other.
The "breathing apparatus" of n
bridge consists of rollers under the
feet nt one end so that the end can
move to nnd fro freely nccordlng to
the cxpnnslon and contraction of the
huge girders.
Provision is made In thecns.c of the
Forth bridge for as much ns two feet
of "breathing" of the Immense cnntl
levcrs. High Temperature May Mislead,
nigh temperature does not nlwnys
mean fever, for the body heat mny be
Increased by exercise or eating, and
a rise of as much as 1.3 degrees Fnh
renhelt has been traced tomontnl work.
Dr. F. B. Wynn of, Indianapolis reports
that drafted men before examination
showed nn nverng" rise of 0.3 degrees
from the anxiety and suspense, with a
corresponding depression below nor
mal after examination. In 40 nurses
tho fall after examination averaged
0.0 degrees. The psychic rise plus the
dally elevntlon may lead to false con
clusions If the physician Is not care

Why Friday's audience at Methodist Church was'
so completely mystified. Odette Le Fon
, - tenay was inside' the phonograph in
all excepting physical presence
At first reading, the story of tlie New Edison's performance last Friday night 'at
the Methodist Church seems fraught with mystery. . . . '
But the explanation is simple enough. .
First, get a picture of what happened. Mine. Le Pontenay sang The Swallows
She-stopped after the first few lines, but her voice flowed on without a break. .No one
even noticed she had stopped until some eyes keener than the rest, saw her lips were
still. It was only then that realization dawned. The audience found it had been 'lis
tening to the New Edison.
To every ear, the two voices, living and RE-CREATED, had been without'a shade
of difference.
That was what so mystified the audience. They had expected the RE-CREATED
art to betray its phonographic origin. It was a step too advanced for their comprehen
sion that this instrument should be all that Mmme. Le Fontenay is, excepting her
physical presence.
