Build Great Works as Expediti~ ously as the Much-vaunted. Americans . It is popularly imagined that our cousins across the Atlantic hold all the records for speed in constuction of dwelling houses, bridges, and most other things, says London Titâ€" :lits. But this is not. altogether the case. British workmen, when thoroughly on their mettle, can equal the feats of any other nation, 'Amcr~‘ icans included. An instance in point is the spinning mill which was com- pleted a. couple of years ago for the Bolton Textile Company at Moses Gate. This immense building is 200 feet long and five storeys high, and accommodates no fewer than 98,000 spindles. From the day it was begun to its absolute compleâ€" .tion, the time occupied was less than a year. This stands as a record in quick erection for a mill of this mag- .nitude. Another fine achievement was the building of the huge chimneyâ€"stuck at the Neasden Power Station for the Metropolitan Railway. Twentyâ€" two men completed this gigantic task in fifty days. Considering that the stack is 200 feet high with an inside diameter of 15 feet, this is a very remarkable piece of work. “Aids "to speed were the. brick lifts instead. of the ordinary beds. and the soft nature of the mortar, which enabled the men to place each brick in position with a single tap of the "trowel. The same contractor built the Mersey Tunnel Power Station at. Birkcnhcad, and upon this work the men averaged 1,976 bricks a day, as against the 300 to 400 which used to be the regular day's work of the oldâ€"fashioned, Goâ€"E-Asv muckinvnu. The Americans are fond of boast- ing of their building of the bridge over the Atbara 'lliver in the Son'- (lan, and there is no denying that thiswaa a very fine piece of work. It was the I’cncoyd Bridge Works of Philadelphia who obtained the contract. On January 2-1th the. specifications and order were recon“ ed. and on the following February 11th all the. material had been or- dered. For a week from I-‘ebruary 13th to 20th the works were closed on account of a blizzard, yet‘ on March 7th the whole structure was Shipped. On April 21.st the erection crew left New York, and they be» gan work on the spot two months later. By August 19th the bridge was completed and reudy’for rail- way traffic, making a total time from receiving order to completion of six months twenty-six days. British bridgeâ€"builders, spurred to emulate this achievement, have more. reconth accomplished a similar piece. of work, which is claimed to outâ€" rival the American record on the 'Atbara. A span of IIopetown Bridge. in Cape Colony was blown up by our forces during the war for strateâ€" gical reasons. A Millwall firm of enâ€" gineers and contractors, having ,rcâ€" ccivcd an order by telegraph to re- place the broken span, had the whole thing ready for shipment within eighteen days, and but for a delay in railway transit. of material it would have been completed four days earlier. Considering that the span is 108 feet long, this must be ack- nowledged to bc WORK OF ’l‘ll’lt‘. SMAlt'l‘lEIS’l‘. Another similar feat must be cred~ itcd to tho Widnes Foundry Comâ€" pany. The Crown Agents having given them an order for a new steel bridge to carry the Lagos and Cooâ€" massie Railway across a river, with injunctions to have the worlg done as soon as possible, in tho incredi- bly short space of nine weeks every 'span and girder was ready. This bridge. is of six spans, 250 feet long in all, and. carries a. foot-bridge on each side of the rails, When a railway bridge on a busy line is'foun'd to need replacing, then is the time to see what brains, mus- cle, and machinery combined are capable of. About two years ago the great steel bridge which carries the Pennsylvania Railway across the Raritan was found to need re~ placing. Though it weighs 1.836 tons, it was moved a. distance of over 14: feet in just under three minutes, in order to make room for the stone bridge which was to re- place it. The traffic on the rail- way, which is notably heavy, was not delayed for a second. At Stowmarket, on the Great Eas- tern Railway, a smart piece of railâ€" way bridge-building was seen two years ago last Good Friday. A wooden bridge which had been used for passengers to cross the line was lreplaced within two hours by a steel erection. Two huge cranes lent by the company to the contractors were employed to swing the bridge into position, and here again traflic was not inconvenienced. 'A similar feat was performed at Xl’ickham Market also on the G.E.R., where tons Station, on iron was EREC’I‘ED IN ONE DAY. In this case. the bridge was not lying ready completed at the side of the line. Two girders Were. first thrown across by the aid of large cranes, and then the. rest of the bridge was put together. The contractors who have in hand the great harbor works at Dover have been pushing along ‘all through at a. very rapid pace, and have on several occasions been forced by prospect. of bad weather to extraor- dinary efforts. Not long ago they block- bridge Weighing fifty the Admiralty Pier forty blocks, not one. of which weighed less than forty tonsl Here is another building record .which is interesting, because it proves that in one direction at. least British workmen can beat the world. At Dcvonport the. first-class battle ship Bulwark. of 15,000’tons, was completed for launching w'ithin seven months of the time she was begun. Within that short period 5,500 tons of steel were built into the. ship. This is a feat which the Americans will find some difficulty in equalling. In the matter of wood-working Britain cannot, however, produce a 'rival to the achievement of an Amer- ican carpenter named Vankirk, of Paterson, New Jersey. For a bet of £200 he succeeded in building a workshop of two storeys, 80 feet 'long by 50 feet wide, in the extraâ€" ordinary timo of 200 min. Of course, everything was cut and prepaer beâ€" forehand, and be employed seventy~ five men to help him. At one io’clock he shouted “Go!” and by twenty minutes past four the place was ready for occupation. __.+__._.__. THEY BUILT ON SAND. . The Foundation of Some Structures. Great Park Row Building, in New York, is the tallest commercial structure in, also. It weighs over 55,000 tons, which means a pressure of nearly 9,â€" 000 lbs., on each square foot of the site. This enormous load rests upon a bed of line, Wot sand, scarcely difâ€" ferent from quicksand, and about one hundred feet deep. It is perfectly safe, however. Nearly 11,000 piles were driven in by, a 2,000 lb. hammer falling 20 feet, which conumctod it until even the tremend- ous blows could force them no furâ€" ther, and they Could. Well carry their loads of 2,000 pounds each. :lroups of these piles were capped with con» crete, and pyramid-.11 brick 3:;ie1'sw0ro built on them. Steel beams were laid on the flat pierâ€"tops to 'dislrlâ€" bute. thn loads over the surface of the. masonry. Some of these. columns carry as much’ as 3,000,000 each. The St. Paul Building, in York, is supported on a very deep bod of fine, wet sand, which ,wns only excavated to a depth of about thirtyâ€"tom feet. A oneâ€"foot. layer of concrete. was spread over the bot; tom of the pit, and on this Was set the real- crossed layers girders. Tho Spreckles .hzilding, in San Ili‘rancisco, wliicli weighs over ‘24,- 000,000 pounds, rests on (louse wet .smul, on which a solid platform of pounds New found ation , consisting of of steel beams t world, mild probably the heaviest ‘ and lsfeel and artificial stone was laid as a foundation. The building has passed uninjured through the test of a severe earthquake shock. l-‘ew, if any, tall buildings are on ,wm'Se soil than those in Chicago. Piles more than one hundred feet llong' are required to reach the. liard pan, or bedâ€"rock, and most of the tall buildings there really stand on. great rafts built on the surnco of the clay. -â€"-+ For Over Sixty Vent-a s Mus.

For several centuries there has been a tradition in Cheadlc, a village in Cheshire, England, that the rectory is haunted, and, according to the Rev. F. A. Macdona, the present rector, weird noises have been heard from time to time for which there is no possible explanation, except by the admission of the presence of the supernatural. According to the legend which the rector informed a representative of the Daily Mail he» believed to be true, the disquicted spirit is that of the Abbess of Godstow, who, when expelled from her nunnery near Ox- ford by Henry V111,, went with her nuns to Choadle rectory, She made many unsuccessful attempts to. obâ€" tain permission to return, and a let- ter written by her to Thomas Crom- well, Earl of Essex, is still’ extant. Her appeals were in vain, and in 1559 she died of arbrokon heart and was buried in .-' the chancel of the church which she had built three years previously. The rector, during his twenty-0110 years’ incumbenc‘y, has not himself been__favorod with a visitation, but members of his family and his dom- estics have heard the rustling of a silk gown'and other sounds consis- tent with the dignity and gentleness of an abbess. Whenever the spectre has been seen it has usually been on the eve of All Hallows' Day. The story, however, does not rest on such slender evidence alone. Dur- ing the time. that the living was held by the preSent rector's brother the maid of a lady visitor from Lon- don saw the apparition several times In form. it; was that of a lady attir- ed in black, and the first occasion she saw it was while waiting for her mistress to come upstairs to bed. The door of the room was open and the light revealed a figure standing on the. landing, which, however, vanished on the maid, who thought it another servant, opening a conâ€" versation. On another occasion, while in her mistress’ bedroom, the spirit of a man in his shirt sleeves roamed into the apartment, and having adjusted his necktie before the lookingaglass, retired without parley. ._.. +....._.~.__ (11 p.m.)â€"-â€"“What's the matter?
