One thing was certain, I must find her out and explain all. Dr. Ruf‘g- wick knew the name utf the friends whum Dora had gone to, but. he could not. tell me the address.

On Dec. 15, 1888. the bridge was pro- nounced finished in all its parts, The bridge companies were congratulated by press and people for having built a. structure, which, apparently. was destined to stand. for years. But not ‘ .vâ€" vâ€" 90. finâ€"life was less 'than a month. (h thb night d Jan. 9-10, 1889. the Unlike the railway! arch. this latest bridge will have» but a single deck, the width of. which will he about fifty feet. About ‘23 feet of its centre will be taken un’ with DOUBLE TROLLEY TRACKS. on each side of which the-re will he carriage ways and walks the latter to he slightly elmaterl. The width of the suspension bridge is but seventeen and a lalf feet. thus the new arch will he nearly three times as wide It is estimated that over four million pounds of. steelinill he used in its construction. hut the arch will not he, so heavy in construction as the railway arch. The bridge which will be superseded dates only from 1997. In that year the work of rebuilding: the earlier bridge in steel was commenced. Shafts were sunk for new and stronger an- chorarres to take the strain of the two additional cables to‘ support the addi- tional weight of the superstructure as well as the wider floor. Two gangs of men worked day and night. Seven. steel ropes two and a quarter inches in diameter. were cut in each cable and placed in: position, when the sus- penders for supporting the trusses were attached. The trusses, in thirty- foot sections, were built out from each end until they’ niet in the centre and were there connected. after which the work of removing the old wooden structure was begun; It was on the night of June 12. 1938, that the last portion of the old bridge was removed and connection was made with the new trusses, thus giving a double roadway from end to end, the origi- nal structure having been only wide enough for carriages to travel one way at a time. _ _ _ SOLID ROCK FOUNDATION was reached. This rock was then cut away in step form and on the founda- tion so created; another foundation of concrete was built. Through this mass of concrete four long, heavy iron rods were run and securely fastened, their toys projecting several: feet above the face of the concrete mass. It was on this concrete that the stone work of the ahutments was built, the four rods and four others running through the stones in order that they might be held securely. The tom of all the eight rods project al‘ove the tops of the ('Oping stones in Order to afford a. fasten- ing for the bed plate; of the legs of the arch, of which each abutment will support one. The stone used in build- ing the abutmentsc are all very large, and derrinks of grez-it strength were employed in letting them over the cliffs to the point of use. The north afil'mtments on the New York State side of the river stands very Muse to the portal Of the. Niagara. Falls Pow- er Company’s tunnel, and in order to protect it a strong retaining wall has been built. 0n the Canadian side the centre of the new arrh will rest evactly on the mntre of the present suspension ".I‘ldge, but on the New York State Side it has been found necessary to carâ€" ry the centre a. little to the south or! the present centre of the suspension bridge in order that the abntments re- ferred to may clear the tunnel portal. From these ahntments or ekewhacks the arch will rise with graceful lineS. and the length of the arch proper will he no lam than eight hundred and for- ty feet. The shore ends of the arcb will be connected to the cliffs by truss-« ed spans of beautiful lines. ‘ In the construction of the abut ments much care was taken to make them most substantial. The loose earth and rock of the slope of the banks was excavated until a. on either bank. There are four \in number, two on, each side, and the dis- tance between the members of the pairs is sixty-seven feet. These abut- ments were built. two years ago, as it was thought that the .new arch would be completed long ere this, but the con- dition of the monetary and steel mar- kets was not such as to inspire the com- pany to proceed with the great and costly work untili now. THE GREATEST ARCH IN THE HIS- TORY OF STEEL CONSTRUCTION. At the point where the arch is to stand the cliffs are 1,268 feet apart, and the suspension) bridge now resting there seems but a slender thread from bank to bank. The abutments for the bridge stand close to the water’s edge :HAMM'S NEW BRIDGE. it Will Stretch 80 Feet In One Clear Span and Iopzaee the Suspension Bridge, “tel: ls less Then To. Yeu‘rs on. but Ins-.cle-t. All the false work preparatory to the erection of what is destined to be the greatest steel arch! bridge is in posi- tion, and soon the erection of steel will begin and be continued throughout the winter, in order that the proposed new structure may be; finished for the ex- pected heavy travel of «next summer. This steel arch is to be built across the Niagara gorge! on the site of the Upper suspeinson bridge, and its span will be the greatest in the history of steel arch’ bridge building. As com- pared with it, the new steel arch reâ€" cently completed fon the Grand Trunk Railway, two miles! below, will appear very short. a few centimetres of distilled water in the human economy produces an in- crease of vital force.

It is the blending of the two methods of treatment that consti- tute-s the actual basis of the therapeu- tias employed in the hospital for young consumptives at Vallipinte, where the mortality has decreased in such a marked degree. But the Medical Inâ€" stitute of the rue de la Bcetie adds to the first two a third procedure which consists in the application of static effluvia. Under the influence of static electricity, an action upon the causes of which there is as yet noth- ing absolume known, the patient re- ins his vitality, his resistance comes accenbuabed, and it is not rare to find patients who seemed to be lit- erally on their last legs getting up. recapturing their appetites, and rap- idly gaining flesh-1. The first. results (If the treatment inaugurated by the Medical Institute of Paris are so conclusive and the ex- periments are so favorable that all hope is admissible.

A highly important therapeutic ex- periment has leen progressing silently during the past few months at the Medical Institute, rue La. Boetie, Paris, says the Figaro. From the results. al- ready obtained it seems that tubercu- losis attacked vigorously by a rational treatment is about to (-apitulate, and in scientific circles. the idea is grow- ing that in a short time the ter- rible malady will be eradivated. At all events, it is beyond question that henceforth consumptives in the first and second degree can be restored to health. When ,the suspension bridge is tak- en down it, is to be rebuilt on the site of the old suspension bridge at Lewis- ton, which was destroyed by a wind storm on April. 16, 1894, and never re- built. It is one of the famous land- marks, but. like the other famous bridges of the Niagara gorge, its end is near. 'lhe antumpth pouer nffornnr ahh~ hyde is well known.

Down. in the gorge, on the debris slopes of the bank, the beautiful bridge, which had been ad- mired by thousands, lay bottom up- ward. The storm had loosened it from some of the suspenders, and the con- tinued blasts set it in motion until its own weight aided in ripping it from all the suspenders, and it dropâ€" ped into the gorge. The last man to cross it was Dr. John Hodge, who pass- ed over to visit a. very sick patient.
