Latest and Greatest Achievement of Bridge-Building Enginesr--By Its Completion Cecil Rhodes' Great Project of a Cape-to-Cairo Railway ts Brought Another Long Step On- ward--Dimensions and Environment. The British Assoclation's first meet ing in South Africa has been signaliz- ed by the formal opening of the bridge crossing the Zambesi at Victoria Falls. Recently, after a suitable oration, Prof. Darwin started a locomotive on its course over the bridge, and thus, under the auspices of the learned body of which he is the retiring president, the magnificent structure was ushered into use. It is one of the latest and greatest achievements of the bridge- building engineer. It provides a way over a chasm deeper than the deepest crossed by any other railroad in the world. And it almost overhangs one of the sublimest spectacles in nature. Though of far less volume than the Niagara, the Zambesi makes a leap at Victoria Falls in distance more than twice that descended by the Canadian cataract. On the bridge the spray of the falls above it can almost be felt. To reach the river beneath the bridge the plumb-line would have to be drop- ped at least a hundred yards.

In twelyé months he had an- other 127 miles buflt, from Kimberley on to Vryburg. To everybody who had any knowledge of the difficulty of transporting material and supplies over the heavy and waterless roads and across the Vaal and Hartz Rivers the rapidity with which the work was done seemed Incredible. This 127 miles was purchased by the Cape Government and added to its line. In the latter part of 1893 the 96 miles from Vryburg to Mafeking was begun and finished before the close of 1894.

Early in 1896 construction was begun from Mafeking, and, though a Matabele rebellion had to be put down in the meantime, Buluwayo, 492 miles further north, was reached In October, 1897, after 500 days' work. The Boer War intervened, and it was not until May, 1901, that the first section of the Buluwayo-Zambesi line was begun. It was finished to Waukie coal field in December, 1903, giving a_through line from Capt Town of 1,672 miles. The re- mainder of the line was pushed on, and the rails were laid to Victoria Falls, 68 miles further, by the end of April, 1904. Still Onward. And now the Zambesi, at a point 1,640 miles from Cape Town, is crossed by the new bridge. But the crossin, does not mark the end of the construct- ed line. Already the rail head has been carried a'hundred miles north of the river, and by next July it is to be 200 miles still farther on its way into the interior. That will leave only about 200 miles more to be bullt to the shores of Lake Tanganyika, which give a water- way stretching 400 miles northward. As the holder of territory on one shore of this lake, Britain has rights of trans- portation upon it. On its northern shore the road must enter the Congo Free State or pass through German territory. In the Congo country, how- ever, is has a right of way. After a stretch of 300 miles it would reach Uganada, a British protectorate. Here it would be joined by the Uganada road, a line 584 miles long, extending through British East Africa from a point on Victoria Nyanza to Mombasa, on the Indian Ocean.

HE SELLS HIS WIFE, THE QUALI TY OF sins AWAY ALL Y ALL CLAIMS ON|, ------------ THE LIL' BRACK SHEEP. During one of the regular London song services which are held at the conclusion of each afiernoon meeting, says The Christian Guardian, Mr. Alex- ander said that he had heard a darkie ! version of the famous song, "The Nine- ty and Nine," which had brought a blessing to many, and which he and his wife had printed on a little card, and sent to many of their friends. He then requested his wife to come upon the high red dais and recite the poem to the audience. This she bravely did, and in her clear, soft voice recited; as follows, the beautiful poem: "Po' III sheep dat strayed away Done log in de win' an' de rain-- And de Shepherd he say, 'O hirelin', Go fin' my sheep again' An' de hirelin' say, 'O Shepherd, Dat sheep am brack an' bad.' But de Shepherd he smile, like dat nr brack sheep 'Wus de onliest lamb he had. "An' he say, 'C hirelin', hasten, For de win' an' de rain am col', An' dat Hl' brack sheep am lonesome Out dere, so far f'um de fol.' But de hirelin' frown, 'O Shepherd, Dat sheep am ol' an' grey!' But the Shepherd he smile, like dat UI brack sheep Wus fair as de break ob day, "An' he say, 'O hirelin', hasten! Lo! here's is de ninety an' nine; But der, way off fum de sheepfol', Is dat lI' brack sheep ob mine!' An' de hirelin' frown: 'O Shepherd, De res' ob de sheep am here!' But the Shepherd he smile, like that HI" brack sheep He hol' it de mostes' dear. "An' de Shepherd go out in de darke ness, Where de night was col' an' bleak, An' dat II' brack sheep he fin's it, An' lays it agains' his cheek An de hirelin' frown: 'O Shepherd, Don't bring dat sheep to me!' But the Shepherd he smile, an' it close, An'--dat IiI' brack sheep----wus--me!" he hol THE DExr DIVER. Men Who Withstand Great Pressure-- 200 Filet Below the Surface. At what depth, asks The Pall Mall Gazette, can a diver carry out his functions? How long can he remain under the surface? What is the effect of high air pressures on the human system? One well-known firm of sub- marine engineers limits the depth of descent to 26 fathoms, or, say, 150 feet. But operations have been carried out at greater depths than this, and per- haps the greatest distance below the surface &t which a diver has succeeded in working is 34 fathoms, or 204 feet, This was accomplished by Jas. Hoop- er, who descended to the ship Cape Horn, sunk off. Pichidanque, South America, and sustained a pressure of 88 1-2 pounds on every square inch of his body. Alexander Lambert, who recovered £70,000 in gold coin from the steamship Alphonso XII, sunk off Point Gando Grand Canary, in nearly 30 fathoms of water, the actual depth of the treasure- room being 26 2-3 fathoms, or 160 feet. This man also performed the daring feat of stopping the flooding of the Severn Tunnel when a door in the drainage tunnel had been left open, The door was situated a quarter of a mile distant from the shaft, but equipped in his diving dress he crept that dis- tance through a narrow passage full of water and closed the door. This plucky act enabled the pumps to over- come the volume of water which was flooding the working and allowed the completion of the tunnel to be carried out. A further interesting case of deep diving i= that of Angel Erostarbe, who succeeded in recovering silver bars valued at £9,000 from the steamer Skyro, sunk off Cape Finisterre in over thirty fathoms, In this case the diver had to blow away portions of the vessel with dynamite before he could reach the treasure chamber. Three dives per dlem were frequent, and as many as five descents were made in one day The maximum period under water was twenty minutes The effect of high pressures on the constitution is not found Injurious when the work is carried out under ordinary precautions. A French scien- tist has gone so far as to claim that breathing compressed alr is a remedy for asthma and emphysema. It is also sald to excite digestion, owing to the great quantity of oxygen carried into the blood. It has been found that a period of two hours should elapse be- tween a meal and a descent. In de- scending the movement should be slow, and if the pressure causes pains in the head this can be remedied by rising gently a few feet, when the descent can be recontinued. In ascending div- ers are recommended not to exceed a speed of two feet per second. Marvels of Modern Butchering. Describing a large slaughtering es- tablishment in the United States, where beasts are killed at the rate of 225 an hour, Seymour Bell, the British com mercial agent at Washington, says "The animals are felled, skinned, cut up and hung in the 'cooling room in thirty-nine minutes, and are handled by twenty men during that time. Hogs are killed at the rate of 560 an hour. They are handled by 126 men in thirty- two minutes. Sheep are killed at 620 an hour, the slaughtering and dressing occupying about thirty-four minutes After the animals are killed the actual work that each man does on any one animal is astonishingly small. Each man has one particular thing to do to cach animal, generally very little, and as soon as it Is done he passes on to another animal. The work, in conse- quence, goes on like clockwork."--Lon- don Tit-Bits. A Dry Land Fish. The periopathalmus, one of the most remarkahle of the several species of dry Jand fish catalogued by the naturalists, is a native of Mauritius. He Is only four or five inches long, but has a big head, very prominent eyes and side fins which bear a strong resemblance to legs. They have the curious habit of leaving the water in the evening and spending the entire night hunting the nocturnal insects which inhabit the muddy flats near tidewater.

Transaction is Ratified by Court in Ending Alienation Suit Against the Purchaser. New York, Oct. "9. Justice Dickey, in the supreme court, Brooklyn, has virtually ratified the sale of a wiic The price the husband acknowledged baving taken for a release of all his claims, amounts to a trifle over 82 a pound, for the pretty woman who was the subject of the deal is a petite brunette, less than five fret tall in her dainty French-heelod shoes and weighing about ninety-five pounds The disclosure of the deal eaused Justice Dickey to throw out of court the suit for £75,000, which Edwin R. Tucker, an insurance man, sought to recever for the alleged loss of his wile through the allurement of Eugene B. Dudley, an aged and wealthy bache- lor, Lawyer Charles J. McDernfott, coun: sol for Dudley, while cross-examining Tucker, dlicited his acknowledgmont of having accopted £200 and having signed an agreement that, for the consideration named, he relinguished all claims upon his wife's affections, and to any awards that might grow out of the suits he had brought for separation and alimony. Justice Dickey promptly said "This action cannot hold. The suit is brought for damages arising out of the alienation of the affections of Mrs. Tucker. Tho plaintiff, by this agreement, admits he did not possess the affections of his wife at the time this action was brought. The suit is dismissed.' Silence for a full hali minute greet ed the words of the justice. The most miserable map in the room apparent ly was the plaintifi, on whom the eves of the 300 spectators turned. There was no evidence of pity in any quarter. His. wife, after the - one scornful glance at him, did not turn her eyes that way again. Dudley had asserted his interest in the Tuckers' was only parental. His presence in the Tucker household, it was stated, was with the full ap proval of the husband. The witnesies for the defence had denied the charges of misconduct. STAMPEDED 50 GIRLS. Wild Deer Leaped Through Fac- tory Window. Ansonia, Conn., Oct, 10---A wild deer, after running a mile through the principal streets of this town, leaped through a window" of the Ansonia cum pany and stampeded fifty girls tend- nz the weaving machines, The deer came out of the woods to the north of the town. It eluded of: forts at capture, dodging through the circle of men who closed in on it. It ran full speed straight at the factory walls, and when ten feet away lavnch- od itself into the air at a windaw, Tt crashed through, carrying glass. sash and all with it, and foil sprawling in. to the room, where the girls were at work, The girls left their posts with screams of terror.
