they were principals on opposing aides,
was displayed on several occasions dur

'''.' Spanae.
There are insny remarkeble exsmples pf
hHiM 'hulldins: In this country. The
White Psss & Yukon railway of Alaska
traverses a region pt lofty peaks and deep
precjptoes, alternated with treat fortes
and Wide clefts. Such a condition calls
for much bridging work during construc
tion. Between Bkagway and White Pass
summit there are seven steel Crwres, one
whirh lust "before the summit - Is
reached, it 400 feet In length and W feet
above the bottom of the gorge, xne
physical difficulties that had to be over
come before these bridges could b built
seem beyond description. Men defied the
antics of acrobats to do some of the work.
The Central , Alaska raliroaa was in
tended to run from Seward to Fairbanks,
. utane of 463 miles. Unfortunately
only about sixty miles of the road has
been completed, the project being hindered
by entangled finances. Yet the railroad
has a wonderful horseshoe timber trestle,
1.W0. feet In length, and varying from
forty to ninety feet In height. Over 1.000.
000 feet of lumber was used In Us con-
structlon. ' i
The massive and impressive bridge of
the Union Pacific railroad over the Mis
souri' river between Omaha and Council
Bluffs, crowned at either end with a huge
buffalo head in metal, marks tne pmm
at which the first across-ine-conunwm
railroad was begun. This bridge was the
outcome of years of untiring surveying
by Theoaore D. Judeh. the "railway path
finder." '
The government stipulated that tne
TTntnn Pneifio should start on the east
bank of the.rlver,. which, of course, called
for the bridge. Mr. Judsh was instructed
with the work of surveying as a reward
tor Ms advocacy of the project ;
i v Some Orlsrlaal- Ia.
rW'nf the -most daring and original
Ideas of bridge building was carried to
iirmu hv a. A. Robinson thirty years
ago. He was the constructing engineer
of the Pueblo & Arkansas raliroaa mat
hunt tha road through Royal gorge In
Colorado. At a certain point of the
canyon the walls, nearly ,00O feet in
height, "oome together until a space of
barely thirty feet remains. The narrow
inriara nf rock on which the road was
being constructed came to an abrupt end;
Ktinw. the river was a raging torrent.
Jdr. Bobtnson .was badly puxxled by
these obstacles. After some days-of pon
dering the. solution, suddenly came to
him: As a result "he threw heavy Iron
Birders across the canyen, from wall to
wall. like , the rafters of a roof, and an
chored their ends into tne soua roca.
From these rafters he suspended a
bridge that carried the track until it
again met the friendly shelf on the other
side of the gap. ,r ,
The plan worked -like charm. The
original structure has bees replaced by
one that is larger and heavier, but the
fundamental principle Is exactly the same.
This is not the only remarkable bridge
in Colorado. The railroad that runs
through Cumbres pais , swings round
Phanton 'curve end plunges into the
Tolteo tunnel, which Is drilled through
the crest and not the base of a mountain.
On emerging from the tunnel one finds
himself on the brink of a precipice, the
opposite portal of the tunnel also being
on a cliff-edge. i .
The gulf, between is spanned by a
masonry bridge in the form of a bal
cony. The depth of the chasm m over a
quarter of a mile- To build, this bridge
the workmen had to be slung out on der
ricks. A snapped rope or a missed foot
ing meant certain death.
Spaamlnv Crooked tlrver.
There sire some Interesting, even sen
sational, examples of viaduct and. bridge
building on the recently constructed Ore
gon Trunk railroad of the Hill system,
which opens up to transportation the
valley of the Des Chutes river of cen
tral Oregon.
One of the tributaries of the Des Chutes
river Is called Crooked river, over which
a steel arch bridge has been built that
rises 320 feet above the water. The sides
of the canyon through which Crooked
river flows are unusually precipitous.
The usual cantilever methods were used
In the construction, and the manner In
which the building materials were car
ried acroes the canyon was decidedly out
of the ordinary.
The ' work of erection . began at .the
northern end of the chasm, and when the
span projected somewhat beyond the cliff
material was lowered from this projec
tion to the bottom ef the cliff. There it
was fastened to ropes sent down from
the south cliff and hauled up . to the
workmen at the top. The completed
bridge furnishes a good Illustration of the
resourcefulness of the American engineer.
The line competes with the Des Chutes
railroad, which runs along the east bank
of the river, and la a part of the Harri
man system. At Saddle Point the rival
lines enter twin tunnels, the approach to
which is over a single viaduct
The greatest bridge, from a structural
point of view, crosses the C&mbest river
Just below the Victoria fall. South Af
rica, on the Cape of Cairo railroad. It
is of steel, and springs in a single span
of WO feet (rom one cliff to the "other.
At low water the center of the span Is
420 feet above the river. " -
Another remarkable bridge on the line
of the same road crosses the Kafue river,
which Is the most Important tributary of
the Zambesi. It Is of light steel, divided
Into 13 spans, each, of 100 feet, and sup
ported by masonry piers 18 feet wide and
8 feet thick. Light as It is, It is expected
ingly strong, for, while In the dry season
the river averages about 9 feet In depth
and has a sluggish current in the wet
months It rises to over 17 feet and rushes
along In a roaring torrent ;
During the construction of the bridge
the workmen were occasionally bothered
by hippopotami and aligators. Seven hun
dred and twenty-eight tons of steel were
used In the completion of the bridge, the
cost of which was RSO.000.
- The Eighth'. Wonder.
The eighth wonder of the world." as It
used to be called, Is the bridge 6,592 feet
In length that stretches across the St
Lawrence river in order to bring . the
Grand Trunk railroad Into Montreal.
Alexander M. Ross was the engineer who
appears to have fathered the project, and
George Stephenson acted as consulting
engineer.
The plans as originally framed ' were
vigorously attacked by experts on both
sides of the Atlantic, the chief objection
being that no human construction could
stand the packing and breaking of the
Ice of the St. Lawrence.' But the two en
gineers went ahead with the enterprise.
The working season is very short, av
eraging 28 weeks a year. Neaaly 3,000
men' were employed during this period.
The bridge consisted of a huge rectangu
lar tube carrying a single track. It was
IS feet wide, IS feet high and weighed
v,044 tons: It was divided into 26 spans,
and the piers were built of massive ma
sonry. In addition" to the bridge proper
some 2,500 feet of approaches had to be
fashioned, so that the total length of
the work was 9,144 feet The cost was
$8,500,000.
As the passenger and freight traffic in
creased, however, the demands on the
single line of the bridge were so grea.
that a change in its construction was Im
perative. After much consideration on
the "part of the officials it was decided
that the tubular bridge should be re.
placed by one of different type and largor
dimensions.
The new bridge is of the open truss
order, sixty-six feet eight inches !n
width, carrying a double track, a trolley
line, space for vehicular travel and a
pavement tor pedestrians. It was com
pleted during the Jubilee of the late Queen
Victoria and was named for that cele
bration. When the engineers examined the 0'd
bridge in connection with the Installation
of the new, the piers had Veen built so
solidly that they did not show the slight
est trace of the terrible buffeting and
pressure to which they ' had been sub
jected by the ice for fifty winters.
HlShest Line In World.
The highest line In the world-the Oroya
railroad of Peru-has Borne remarkable
bridges. This will hardly be wondered at
when it is remembered that the line
traverses a series of mountains seamed
with deep gullies and torrential rivers.
The traveler who lands at Callao in order
to reach Oroya, 138 miles inland, ascends
15,865 feet in the course of 107 mllea. nego
Uating dosens of the canons ,and rivers
Five miles beyond Tamboraque the line
tunnels a peak, to emerge on the brink
of a drop that. falls sheer into the river
below. - The gulf Is spanned by the In
flernlllo bridge, the name of which, in
view' of the savage surroundings ' and
hair-raising leap that the bridge makes
across the void, Is entirely appropriate.
Because of the sheer faces of the cliffs
on either side of the chasm the workmen
bad to be suspended in cradles and loops
that dangled . from ' ropes attached to
brackets driven in the solid rock above.
The shoot from one tunnel mouth to the
other by an apparently frail link of steel
is said to furnish a sensation.
Perhaps one of the most picturesque
railroad bridges on this continent Is to
be found at Stony creek, In the Selkirk
mountains, on the Canadian Pacific rail
road. There la a V -shaped ravine there
of great -depth flanked by stem granlto
cliffs ami crowned by pine-clad hills. , A
noble arched eteel bridge springs from
the sides of the gulch.
The Cisco cantilever bridge which car
ries the railroad across the Fraser river
Is also another striking liTustration of the
engineer's skill. It leads to a tunnel
driven through the precipitous wall of tha
canon, the boldness of the work being
fittingly framed by majestic surround
ings. ".'';'' i
British India has been called "the land
of remarkable rallwayv ' bridges." " It
seems entitled to the distinction. The
Sone bridge of the East Indian railroad
consists of ninety-throe spans, giving th."
structure a 'total length of W.96J feet,
thus making It one of the longest bridges
in the world. "The Godavarta bridge of
the Madras Northeast line Is 9,096 feet
in length and the Qoktelk viaduct of
Burma is 325 feet high.
European Specimens. ' '.
It was in Sweden that steel was first
used for the erection of railrpad bridges,
the innovation being started by the lat
Major C. Adelskold in 1SS6. His bridge
was designed to carry the Vddevalla-
Wonersborg-Herljunga railroad across the
Huvudnas Falls, just above the Trollhat
ten Falls. At this point the Gota river
forces Its way through a gorge W feet
wide Just before it falls over a lofty
ledge Of rock. The design of the bridge
Was of a novel order, being something
like unto an Inverted suspension, bridge.
The Bergen-Christianla line of Norway
ranks as one of the moet striking exam
ples of railroad engineering in Burope
The line was constructed across a storm
swept plateau In one of the most sparsely
populated districts in Europe, where the
winter lasts for eight or nine months. It
passes through 184 . tunnels and Includes
fourteen bridges, ranging from a single
span stone structure of sixty feet to one
of metal, 666 feet from end to end.
In the little-known British colony, Nya
saland', in central Africa, to a railroad
bridge of noteworthy construction. Thij
is on the Shire river at Chiromo. It is
about 420 feet in length and has a .'lifting
span," of a hovel kind.' Its construction
is due to the stipulation of the British
government that there- should be no in
terference with the navigation of the
river. The bridge can be "wound up" by
hand from the banks. The mechanism ii
very simple and . can be handled by the
natives.
China has many striking examcples of
railroad bridge. One over the .Lan-ho
river is 2.170 feet in length, with five
spans of 200 feet each. It was designed
by the late Sir Benjamin Baker and
aroused much criticism by its unusual
features. Kallro ad Man's Magazine.
LIFE AMONG THE CANNIBALS
Amaslng- Adventures of American
Girl In the Junglea of
West AfHca. -
Of absorbing interest is the romance of
the jungle unfolded by Miss Vera Slmou
tbn, a modern pioneer In pettcoata, who
returned to civilization a short time ago,
after aDendlna- a year in the Vest African
cannibal country, on the line of the equa
tor, and who Is now engaged in-writing
a novel founded upoh her experiences,
entitled "Hell's playground." which will
shortly be published. .
Miss gimonton had many adventures
and cieer experiences, and relates with
amusement how, during her twelve-month
sojourn in the heart of the African con
tinent, she had twenty proposals and all
from cannibal kings. Miss Slmonton
penetrated regions where no white woman
had before been seen, and her arrival
created a great sensation among the natives..-
.
The first proposal she received was
from Oruugii,- a Nkoml chief, who came
loaded with gifts of knives, tom-toms,
beads and quaint musical instruments,
and offered them to Miss Slmonton if
she would become his thiteenth wife. She
endeavored to parley with him by point
ing out, with the aid of an Interpreter,
that thirteen was an unlucky number, on
which he offered to dismiss one of his
other wives and she could be the twelfth.
But the offer was declined as diplomati
cally as possible.
On another occasion, , a native chief
named Akand sent a proposal through
a delegation consisting of three native
women, one of whom proved to be the
keeper of his other wives, and the two
others 'her assistants.
Miss Bimonton mentions the curious fact
that the native chiefs whom she refused
seemed to think that she rejected their
proposals because she was not fat enough.
She says that in the course of her travels
in the jungle she found that, when a slim
girl from 10 to 14 was betrothed, she was
put Into the fattening house and forced
to eat bananas all day long; and that no
native girl who does not possess an abun
dance of adipose tissue cares to become a
bride.
All sorts of gifts were offered to this
Intrepid lady if she Would consent to
make her home in the Junglea dead
snake, an elephant's ear, alligator's eggs,
skins of wild animals, carved, ebonies
and ivories, 'skulls of apes,-monkeys, an
telopes and gorillas were among' the most
remarkable gifts proffered.
Although her position was extremely
dangerous at times, on account of the
hostility of the natives. Miss Slmonton
quaintly remarks, apropoe of her ex
traordinary marriage proposals: : "I felt
like a little girl in a strange rins-a-ring-a-roay
game, with the ring made up of
twenty kinds and their astonishing en
gagement presents." Philadelphia RecoNN
