A railroad that floats is a carious feat of engineering to be seen at Marquette, Iowa. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. "Paul railway crosses the Mississippi from . Marquette to Prairie du Chien, Wis., there. Midway in the Mississippi at this point are a i number of islands which divide he river into an east and west channel, both navigable by steamers. A pile bridge extends over these islands and a part of the way into either channel. Similar -actions of pile bridge are built >ut from either shore. Between these pile bridge sections in either :hannel is a gap about 450 feet in which float great pontoons bearing railroad tracks on the upper deck. These pontoons are hinged rt one end to the pile bridge. When a steamer wishes to pass. <be pontoon is swung wide open by electric power from dynamos rvti 4 li nant AAII vouoii to duty in tin* operations of the 30th division near Bohain on October 10, 1918.

Obedient to a petition signed by a majority of the freeholders of the Town of Fort Mill, as shown | ny tne tax books, ami filed by ! scid freeholders with the Town Council, praying that a special election b? ordered for the purpose of submitting to the quail-1 ; t ied electors of the Town of Fort Mill the question of the issuance of the bonds as hereinafter set forth, and in accordance with the law, notice is hereby given that a | ; special election of the qualified voters of the said Town of Fort Mill be held on Tuesday, tin* fifth day of July, 1921, between the hours of seven A.

Following the passage of the steamer the pontoon is closed ami ocked at the free end to the pile bridge. There is then a continuous railroad from shore to shore. A remarkable feature of the pontoons is the way they are uilt to meet the contingency of. he rise and fall of the riverj Whether the river is high or low obviously the railroad must remain at the same level. This was accomplished by building the ponoons so that the hull may rise ml fall while the tracks above remain at the same position. From I'loor of the hull columns of rectangular blocks rise. On the tops of these columns are the railroad i ies carrying the tracks. The docks are removable. When the iver is rising blocks to correspond in thickness to the number of inches rise in the river are removed. The railroad tracks by electric hoists are momentarily suspended in the air while the blocks are being removed. When he i4ver falls blocks are put hack n as is necessary. 3aptist Young People Entertain. The Senior Baotist Yotuif?
