Ul>EFUL HlN'!'S. 0 During all the years of its building, from the sinkina of the first cau;son to the establishment of the line of electric lights, the construction of the bridge lms attracted the mterest of engineers and mechanics. But is it 1s doubtful if in ha,s been accorded its value as a work of art and of beauty, except uy ca.sual visito:·s to New York, who have not watched its gradua,l progress for a dozen years. And yet the bridge is beautiful m itself. Between the two majestic towe1s, more than one-quarter of a mile apart, the floormg of the bridge makes a very gradual sweep that by its slender curve p1esents a, fine contrast agamst the level horizon. From the river, either by the Roosevelt ferry boats, or those of the Fulton Ferry, the best prospective view of the bnclgc can be had. From the deck of the ferry boat the wonde1ful structure looks like a darmg gigantic spiclcr's web agamst the sky. The eye sees all the understructure of the bndge, and unless one is a calculat· ing, almost agnostic mechamc, it is lrnrd to believe that the suspended structure represents solichty and permanency. 'L'he four great white Imes that connect t h e two great towers and extend their inland sweep for a quarter of a, nule ea,ch way appear by their curves to be domg 1.10 m?re mechanical service than the curvmg lme of the st rin" of the paper kite cm which the boy sends up ]us messengers. V chicles and persons by thousands go across this web-hke structure in perfect safety. But these appear only as flies, and it is a wonder· to the safe passengers on a ferry boat or on a Sound steamer that p eople will rrsk themselves on so frail a structure. But the bndge is a marvel of beiwty viewed from the level of the river. In looJnng at its vast stretch, not only over the rrver bet ween the towers, but over the inhttbited busy city on either sh ore, it appears to have a chmacter of its own far above the drudgeries and exactions of the lower business levels. Of its actual strength nobody can understand by figures and other statistics. Only by going on the bridge can a passenD"er over it, or a questioner of it, be con~rinced t hat rt is permanent structure. After mghtfall, when nothing but the hriuge itself interposes between it and the clark sky, with its gracefully curved Imes revealed by electric lights and defined by the darkness of the water below, and the other darkn ess of the sky a,bove, the bridge appears hke a gossa,111er structure, and has a fauy hke appearance.
