The new metal arch bridge at Niagara falls will be noteworthy in two respects. The new bridge is to be built over the old suspension structure, without interruption to the traffic on the latter. The span from end pier to end pier will be 840 feet, making it the largest arch 'span in the world. The suspension bridgo now in use, 4 which has been familiar to all visitors to to the great natural wonder for 40 years, will be kept in place until the new arch is ready, as it would be impossible to construct false works over the Niagara gorge to sustain a structure of this class. The span will have a rise of 150 feet from the level of the piers at'the skewbacks to the center of the ribs at the crane of the arch, which point is 170 feet above low water. The depth cf the trusses is 26 feet, and they will be 68.7 inches apart. The bridge will carry^>ne floor, 46 feet wide, divided longitudinally fnto three parts. On the middle portion, which is 22 feet 9 inches wide, will be two trolley tracks. Each side of these tracks will be a roadway for carriages 8 feet wide, and outside of these, raised 6 inches from the level of the roadway, will be footpaths.* The construction of this remarkable span is from plans of L. L. Buck, engineer of the new East river bridge between New York and Brooklyn, and the author of the plans by which the railroad suspension bridge at Niagara was replaced by an arched bridge. The approaching or flanking spans will be 190 feet long on the American side and 210 feet on the Canadian side. The total metal in the new structure will be about 4,000,000,000 pounds. Every confidence is expressed in Mr. Buck's ability to carry out his plans. The replacing of the railroad bridge by another without an hour's interruption of .business was cne of the engineering feats of the decade. Those who have cot not seen the great structure at Niagara which it is intended to replace will hardly realize the stupendous character of the ttedertakiDg. Imagine the task of replacing the simplest sort of bridge without interrupting traffic, and then add about 1,000 per cent to the difficulty. This will give something of an idea of what confronts engineers and builders. In an undertaking of this nature the slightest error might be productive of infinite disaster. Every measurement must be accurate to a hair's breadth. Every portion of tho great arch must perform its particular share of the great combination that will be one of the j; marvels of the world. All that is done must be accomplished quickly, for in affairs of this nature time is indeed money. Every man who can be utilized will join the army of construction, jremapa nu wucaux icwiit years has required or "will yet need more skilled labor. In fact, in bridge building it is becoming unsafe to utilize labor of any other class. The bridge, when complete, will in truth be a work of genius in point of construction as well as point of conception. The work of preparing the material for the great structure has been m progre s for some time, as little can be accomplished in an enterprise of this nature until the preliminaries are complete. When the effort of placing the different parts of the bridge in position is begun, Niagara will be one of the busiest"of busy places.?Railroad Gazette. [ Malaria Banished by Artesian Wells. Our correspondent at Lake City, Williamsburg county, reports that there are now 18 artesian wells in the village and adds, "Before the wells were bored the people suffered a great deal with fever and malaria, but now it is a rare thing, indeed, to hear of a case of either." This i3 very decided testimony to tho value of pure water for the redemption cf "malarial districts," and Lake City's experience and example should not be lost on other places where the water is bad and health no better. There was a "great deal" cf fever in the village when the wells were shallow. Now a case of it is "rare." That is sermon enough for sensible people in ether fever haunted places.?Charleston News and Courier. ^ She Rules Europe. "Germany," says Tho St. James Gazette, "has had five sovereigns since Queen Victoria began to reign. She herself will in fnture be recognized as the ancestress of one cf the most powerful rulers. Her grandson wears the iron crown of Germany. Her granddaughter is empress of Russia. Another granddaughter is the crown princess cf Roaruania. Her second son rules over the principality of Saxe-Coburg. The hereditary princess of Saxe-hleiningen is her granddaughter. The heir to the throne of Greece is her descendant, the Grand Duke of Hesse her grandson. She has no fewer than 61 descendants who one day * A ? L_ ? ? ?

Among the people who find it difficult to sympathize with the Cuban rebels is the Duke of Veragna, that lineal descendant of Col ambus who visited this country in World's fair days. He is entitled to draw from the Spanish government the perpetual pension of ?4,000 a year, which was charged upon the Cuban revenue, and was granted to the famous discoverer and his heirs forever. If Cuba is lost to Spain, the duke is likely to lose his pension. A Graceful Retreat. A petty newspaper of the Midi, which had long been at the point of death, has just found an ingenious means of closing its career brilliantly. Its last issue contained the following notice: "Taking advantage of the national festivities which will be occasioned by the arrival of the czar, the illustrious friend of France, this journal will cease to be published."?Paris Figaro. "What station do you call this?" asked'a man as he caawled out of the ruins of a carriage after a railway accident. "Devastation, sir," replied his fellow-passengers, in chorus. SOME QUEER INDUSTRIES. Odd Ways of Making a Living Disclosed by the Latest Census. Occupations open to the thrifty individuals of both sexes have greatly increased during the last two decades, or even since the taking of the last decefc- I nia! census, in 1890. The extraordinary progress of science during the time specified and tko appli- i cation of its principles to the practical problems of human life have not only had the effect of greatly increasing the capacity for production in the trades already firmly established, but have opened hundreds of queer side alleys which lead direct to the avenues of trade. There are, of course, dozens of these new and remarkable occupations with which science does not de? even in the remotest sense. In this class we find the rat oatcher, the skunk farmer, the man who makes his living by picking up lost things in depots, theaters, hotels, etc., and returning them to their owners with the expectation cf being rewarded, the clock winder, the man who collects orange and lemon peela and the Lako Michigan syndicate which is new engaged in raising black cats for their fur. They arc not raising these cats on water, as might bo inferred from the title, but have leased an island in tho great lake which is now plentifully stocked with both sexes of screeching felines. There are still others in the nonscien tifio category of queer occupations, but it will only be necessary to mention a few. One is a rattlesnake "farmer," who lives in tho Ozark mountains and makes the products cf his "farm" bring money from three different directions. The oil he disposes of to druggists, who have regular customers that believe it to be a panacea for a hundred different ills. The skins he sells to would be cowboys, who use them as hat bands, and the skeletons are always a ready sale, tho purchasers being the curators of the natural history departments of the different college and society museums. The man who wakes people up in the morning, the old cork collectors and the doc catchers are .well known char acters in every large city. The individuals who gain a livelihood in pursuits that are strictly scientific are equally as nnmerou3 as those who follow the mere humble callings. In the list of occupations that are strictly scientific is the manufacture of artificial eggs, artificial coffee and false diamonds; also the industry of making buttons, combs, penholders and other articles of a similar nature from blood collected at the slaughter bouses. The man who makes billiard balls, buttons and rings from potatoes which have been treated to a solution of uifrio and sulphuric acids is also the proprietor of an " industry" wherein the fundamental principles are strictly scientific. But the queerest of all is carried on by two young Pencsylvanians, who are making a regular business of extracting the poison from honeybees. According to the accounts, they have two different ways of collecting their crop of venom. T? Al U A .1.1 ? A JH UIO iiisi ilia uttro aio auugui .ii;u uuu with their abdomens in small glass tabes until the poison sacs have been emptied. In the second they are placed in a bottle on wire netting and enraged until the tiny drops cf venom fall into the alcohol which fills the lower third of the bottle. This venom is said to be a sovereign remedy for cancer, rheumatism, snake bite and a hundred others of the more terrible ills of humanity.? St Louis Republic. Is There Irrigation In Mars? It would seem that the planet Mars is now in a condition to which the earth must come. It is struggling against the gradual disappearance of water on its surface and in its atmosphere. There is no weather there, for there is no rain and there are no winds. Dew in winter is deposited on its poles in the form of snow. The rest of the planet consists of deserts with very slight elevations. The inhabitants have met this state of things by a gigantic system of irrigation. What we call canals are irrigated districts about 30 miles wide, with a canal running through them, from which water i3 distributed. Here and there are largo oases of irrigation, and these oases are connected with each other by means of the canals. When the snows of the poles melt, the melted water is distributed over, the planet, and thus crops are produced. The inhabitants store up food and water for that part of the year when there is neither water nor vegetation. So rarefied is the atmosphere that one of these inhabitants can work at one-twentieth the exertion that it costs us, or, in other words, perform with the same expenditure of strength 20 times the task.?London Truth. A Barbaric Dress. While at Balmoral the czar on one occasion is said to have appeared in highland dress, out cf compliment to Queen Victoria, but bis suit did not imit.nfcp him Thp nnppn'a attention for all things that savor of highland life is well known, and her sons and grandsons habitually don the kilt when on Peeside. Perhaps, next to the Prince of Wales, the most distinguished wearers of it are the Marquis cf Lome and the little Prince Alexander. It is said that the Duke of York, while in Moscow last summer to attend the czar's coronation, appeared at a semiofficial reception in the costume of the highlanders and thereby incurred imperial displeasure, while the Muscovite journals spoke cf it as ,4an immodest and barbaric dress." Pasteur and Silkworms. A disease broke out among the silkworms of France in 1853 which threatened to ruin the business. In 1S58 a government commission was appointed to inquire into the cause of the evil and suggest a remedy, when, by the labors of Pasteur, the disease was found to be due to microbes developed in the bodies of the silkworms. Pasteur was fortunate enough to discover a remedy, and the silk industry of France soon resumed its former prosperity.

At the international telegraph conference which was held yt Budapest in July it was decided to issue a new official vocabulary of preconcerted language. This was opposed by American firms who operate private codes, as the value of these codes would be destroyed. The conference adopted an amendment to its constitution in order to provide for these codes, and it has jast been issued from headquarters at Bern, Switzerland. Preconcerted language is defined as composed of words having intrinsic sense, but not combined into intelligible phrases. Words in this language cannot contain over ten characters according to the Morse alphabet. They must bo taken from ono or more of these languages: German, ilnglisn, fcpamsn, rrencn, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese and Latin. Proper names cannot be used except with their meaning in plain language. The original sending office can demand the production of the sender's code to see that the rules have been observed. From a date to be fixed by a future conference all the words used in private telegrams written in preconcerted language will bo extracted from the official vocabulary duty enlarged and compiled by the international bureau of telegranh administrations. ine new volabulary will mcmae an words of private cedes, provided they are true unmutiliated words, taken from the eight languages given above and comply with the abovo rules. The international bureau desires all compilers of codes and all persons desiring words from certain cedes reproduced in the official vocabulary to forward them before the end of this year to the "International Bureau, of Telegraph Administrations, Bern, Switzerland." A Hasty Marriage. "Marry in haste and repent at leisure" is an old adage, and that it possesses some truth is demonstrated in the case of two young south siders. One of them, it is certain, is in a penitent mood. The story is as follows: A certain young man, or boy, as ho is but 18 years of age, and a girl of 17 had for some time kept company with each other and made up their minds to get rnarriod. All arrangements were made, and everything seemed rosy and bright till it was found that a very essential thing had been overlooked?the parents of the young lady had not given their consent. The young man at once set about to remedy this, and imagine his dismay when he was informed that he could not have the girl of his choice for a wife. After considering the matter ho proposed to the girl that they elope. This she refused to do. She was sure, however, that if the young rpau would but wait for a few mouths her parents' consent could be gained. This he refused to do, ana in a nun ne went away ana proposed to another young woman. She at once accepted him, and the wedding was solemnized. Immediately after the ceremony the young man concluded that he had dene a foolish thing, and ho has already instituted a suit for divorce, as the parents of the first girl have said that if he can secure his freedom he can have their daughter.?
