bridegroom , for ji number of costly

ws : . md
Martin Troy , of Hartford , Conn. , an wi
d railroad man , was down at East )
ristol bridge watching the men at rui
ork. When the afternoon train from lat
ristol came along the bridge was no- wo
ceably weak , and the weight of the pri
ain jarred it so seriously that all the
oodeu piling under it was carried
ne1
When \ Troy saw that the piling had I
carried away , and that the bridge wt
had settled , he hurried up to flag the
train from Hartford , which would ar
rive at this point at about 5 o'clock.
It had grown quite dark by this time ,
and Troy had no lantern ; but as the
train came along he took matches from
his pocket and lighted them for a dan-
get signal. He was just in time ; the
train stopped as the engine was about
to go on the bridge.
When the workmen came to repair
the bridge , they tried to induce Troy
to go to work with them , but he refused -
fused , declaring that the bridge was
likely to fall at any minute. His Avarn-
ing came too late. Before the men
could leave the bridge the collapse
came.
RICHES OF THE NORTH.
- Found Ore Fields in Sweden
Prove Valuable.
There may be a future for Canada's
north land that we little dream of now.
The close of the century discloses for
the first time in the world's history a
practical purpose to develop the re
sources of the arctic circle. The dis
covery of gold in the Klondike has sent
a flood of immigrants into a territory
which was supposed to be almost unin
habitable.
And now scientists of Great Britain
are making a careful investigation of
enormous deposits of iron and ore some
distance from Stockholm , Sweden ,
within the area included in the arctic
circle. These new ore fields arc ap
parently limitless in extent and of the
greatest possible value to the iron in
dustry of Great Britain , which is rap
idly finding itself unable to compete
with the cheap products of American
ore. These Swedish deposits are said
to be among the most valuable ever dis
covered on either continent.
Following the discovery of gold in
Alaska , this may be taken as an indi
cation that the mineral wealth of Ihe
arctic regions may ultimately load to
the establishment of a large population
in those parts of the world nearest the
north pole , which have hitherto been
little explored because of their inhos
pitable climate.
An ingenious philosopher has outlin
ed the theorj * that the precious metals
of the Avorld will be found in greatest
abundance in the arctic regions , be
cause when the world was a molten
mass revolving on its axis the tendencv
of all metals was naturally toward the
axis , or the poles , and that when the
plastic mass solidified the gold and sil
ver were concentrated near the poles.
Should this theory be confirmed , the
finest deposits of precious metals will
be found the further we get to the north
and south , and arctic explorers will
have something else to seek in future
besides glory. Nature evidently intend-
od to lock up its treasures in an iuac-
cessible > storehouse. But in those days
< =
man aspires to be the master of nature

LIFE-SAVING GUN.
It Will Shoot a I/ifc Line to a
Roof.
The equipment of the New York fire
department , as described by the World ,
includes i a gun and projectile , to which
is ' attached 500 feet of steel cable one-
quarter of an inch in diameter and haA'-
ing i stops every twelve inches. The
projectile I is of steel , and is discharged
by gunpoAvder from one of the neigh
boring I roofs as near the scene of the
fire as possible. The projectile is aimed
at ' a AvindOAv where the people in dan
ger are standing or else to go over thereof
roof and drop doAvn within their reach.

I.1FK-SAVJXG GUN" .
The projectile carries a thin line up
first , and when the people have secured
this they pull the cable up. When connection
tlu
nection has thus been established with
the people cut off by means of the cable
they have a road to the ground Avhich
is perfectly practicable , at least to men.
The projectile and gun were used "J'

Western Union building. The fire thc"e j
