It Is an Interesting fact that two of the pontoon traltis which were of such valuable service during the civil war are In good condition and will probably be taken to Cuba to be used by the army. The average pontoon train conIsts of from twenty to thirty sections. Two trains mu- ally accompany an army-a light one with canvas-covered boats that can be moved rapidly , carried by the advance guard , and ft reserve , which follows the army , with very substantIal equtpnicnt of heavy wooden boats. . When a bridge has to be constructed very rapidly , It Is sometimes fitted together In several Independent parts along the shore and afterward floated out across the stream and jointed together. fly menus of supports driven in the ground at regular distances , joInted together by heavy supports , an 'npproach" is made for the bridge. A lontOOfl boat Is floated , four beams , or 'bays , " are secured to the gun- vale by means of ropes , the boat Is jiusheul , : I out in the stream and anchors arc dropped UI ) and down stream. A flooring of heavy boards , of "chies" Is then laid across these supports aiiI thieit by means of strIps laid along the upper edges , all the Parts are lashed together. All materIal Is carrIed out systematIcally , anti beat after boat Is added In the same manner , untIl the other shore Is reaclieti and a termInal buIlt. There are a number of vays of dhamantel- lIag as vclI as building the pontoons. In retreating , when a bridge must be destroyed before the enemy can seize it , the anchors are Usually drawn up and the entire bridge allowed to swing In to shore , where it can ho taken apart quickly. During the civIl war the loss of tile In constructing pontoon brIdges was some times consIderable , In talking on this subject - ject , the other tiny , Major Thomas Hogan , one of the few engineer otilcers of the war now living , sold : Tlio layIng of our pOntoon brIdge at FrederIcksburg was jrobably the most exclt- lag of any in my experience. There were finally three bridges laid across , so that the right , left and center division could adwanco at once. When we arrived , the 'regulars' ni- ready lund their boats In the water for their brIdge. Our men being volunteers were anxious to simo the men of the regular army vbat they could do.

Our corps took 126 men , we completed the bridge be. fore Captain Cress' men vero nearly over , and In an hour after that the whole army crossed the river , "One of the longest brIdges was that built across the James river , when Urant crossed with his cattle train. " In crossing ravines anti narrow streams too deep to ford , stone anchorages are frequently - quently built in the water and the brIdge laid across them. The splie system of bridging Is slow but permanent. The sparer or trestle ( see Illustration ) is the most suitable - able for crossing tieep ravines. The tim- bet Is usually cut nearby , anti squads of men joiii long pieces together with ropes that nrc dravn around and tied In time most effective manner. Two of the first four manic supports are first lashed together at one end , they are rested on solki ground on eIther side and , by means of ropes , nra raised to an upright positIon , and held in place by long ropes. The seconmi two supPorts - Ports are raised in the same manner , a sultabbo distance away end also held In positIon by ropes. The four stipports nra braced together ly cross-beams , which are lashed to them , men having to climb to tluo top , hoist and secure one at a time. Thoroughly braced together , provision Is made for a hanging support In the center , The ropes that hold these spars have to ho hound ami tied with siwclnl skill , as the entire central weight of the bridge is held by them. At the lower end of thIs support , and at the same height on the main upright , the three beams are secured on which a solid flooring , as Is Used In the poontoon bridges , is laid. 1roperty built , these bridges will sustain an enormous weight. They are constructed in from two to four iioui- .

That result has not imeen accomplished yet. Thin writers who have war stories to offer , offer thrin before anything else ; anti publishers who have war stories to ndver- tlse , place thni in the forefront of their annoummcemeiits. It is doubtful , though , whether war alorit's or ammy others are just now getting nmuch read , I know it is the feeling of the "trade" timmit , except "cx- tras , " people are rending nothing ; and when you go to publishers seeking news of their coming ventures , they tell you that they nrc going very slow and that time future is very uncertain. So , if there Is any "inglorIous Milton" seekimmg a loan of his friends , in order fo comae mp to New York with the mnantiscript of a second "Paradise Lost , " he'll lose nothing by suspending his endeavors - deavors until fail , or at least until a few unore Spaniards have been killed.
