Dunlsp in Leslie's Weekly. The second steel arch bridge across the Niagara gorge ts in course of construction, to replace the upper suspension bridge close to the falls. The signing of the contracts for the new arch was practically an order for the de- struction of the last of the famous -great suspension bridges at Niagara, so far as their original location Is concerned, and the last of the structures traversed by thou- sands of tourists in an admiring mood will live in memory®only. All arrangements for the buliding of the first bridge oyer the gorge were completed early In 1818, and the contractors set about finding a_means of establishing communication between the cliffs at the narrowest point near the whirl- pool rapids. The idea of overcoming the difficulty by a powerful rocket was con- ceived. But this did not work, and some school boys flying their kites on the river bank gave the suggestion that the desired connection’ might be made by allowing a kite to settle on the opposite bank. The most adept of the boys in flying their kites was little Homan Walsh, and the con- tractors invited him to try his skill. The prevailing wind at the falls is from the southwest, and after waiting some days for a favorable wind, young Walsh walked upstream two miles to the ferry, and cross- ed to the Canadian side, reaching which he Proceeded downstream to the site of the bridge. The wind was blowing strong, and he soon had his Kite, named the Union, flying heavenward. The cord went out rapidly, but the gale was too strong to allow the kite to settle. Night came on and Walsh and boys who had gathered built a fire on the bank to keep warm, awaiting a luli in the wind towards mid- night. The anxious watchers on the oppo- site shore also built a fire. Walsh knew then that his program was understood, and that there would be a close watch kept for the kite. ‘The wind went down as expected, and about 12 o’clock increased tension and jerk- ing on the kite string told him that his kite had landed and that the cord was safely across the gorge. The distance and roar of the rapids prevented verbal com- munication, therefore they were uncertain as to each other’s movements. Suddenly there came a heavy jerk on the cord and then it fell loose in Walsh’s hands. So much sag had been given it that it had reached the river below, in which a vast amount of ice was flowing, and the cord was broken in two. Disappointed, Walsh wound up his end of the cord and started for the ferry. Reaching there he was told the river was so full of ice that the boats dared not venture out. For eight days he was ice-bound on the Canadian shore. yhen finally he arrived home he found his kite uninjured, and after waiting again for a favorable wind to fly it from the New York state bank, he again crossed to the Canadian side. The wind was favora- ble and in thirty minutes he had landed his kite, and the desired connection between the cliffs was established. The cord was used to draw a heavier cord across the river, and this was followed by a rope and ‘2 cable. Other cables followed, and a cable-way on which an irom basket ran, now in possession of the Buffalo Histori- cal Society, was operated in building the bridge. Walsh received $50 for his work. He is still alive and resides in Lincoln, Nebraska. Other cables were strung and placed on towers. From these cables were suspended two bridges, each about three feet wide end forty feet apart. Between them the <able-way was operated. The second of these bridges had been carried out about 250 feet from the New York state bank and about 150 feet from the Canadian bank, when a terrible tornado swept down the gorge from the southwest. The unfin- ished bridge was parted near the towers and the cables were displaced. Far out over midstream, 200 feet above the water, six men were at work. For a short time all seemed about to be lost. Back and forth the bridges swung at the mercy of the gale. Two of the men made their way to the bank, but four were left on a broken extremity. The rain came down in tor- rents. As soon as the storm subsided a little, the iron basket was let out on the cable with one man in it. He carried a ladder with him, and when he reached the wreck he used it to make a bridge, over which the men passed into the basket and were pulled ashore safely. Tho steel arch now being built will he the fourth bridge erected on the site. Con- nection at this point was made between the cliffs by carrying a rope across the river on an ice bridge. The first bridge Was a wooden structure, opened to the pub- lic January 2, 1860. In 1887-88 it was re- built in steel..On the night of January 9-10, 1889, the new structure was wrecked by wind and turned bottom up in the gorge. A portion of this bridge still lies beneath the waters of the river. The last man to cross it was Dr. John Hodge of Niagara Falls, who went to the Canadian side to visit a very sick patient. On his return he had a frightful experience, and narrowly escaped being blown into the gorge. The suspension bridge was rebuilt in 1889, and it is this bridge that {s now to give way to the latest steel arch. With the building of the arch the pres- ent suspension bridge will be taken down and carried down stream seven miles, where it is to be rebuilt on the site of the old Lewiston bridge, which was wrecked by wind on April 16, 1864, under remark- able circumstances. In March and early in April of the year mentioned the ice came down the river from Lake Erie in great and unusal quantities. An immense gorge was formed below the bridge, and the ice piled up about the anchorages of the guys to such an extent that it created alarm that when it moved it would carry the guys away. The gorge broke and the owners of the bridge congratulated them. selves that their care had resulted in sav- ing the structure. Nice weather followed, but the bridge men did not think to re- place the guys. A fierce storm came down the forge and the bridge was swept away. It was never rebuilt, but over the gorge today, from cliff to cliff, the cables swing, attracting much attention from passers through the now popular route of travel, and affording, it is said, in the past @ Teeans of criminals escaping from the United States into the dominion. ———+e-____ The A B C of Cycling in Europe. Joseph Pennell in Harper's Magazine. If any one wishes to cycle independently and at the same time pleasantly, profit- atly, and I may say economically, in Eu- rope, there are certain rules to be remem- bered. First, owing to the present state of the tariff law, which prevents the free im- pertation of foreign cycles into the United States, it is better to ride an American wheel. This, of course, does not apply to the Englishman. But the American wheel, as I have seen it in Europe, is unadapted to the purpose. It is furnished with neither a mud guard nor a gear case, and both are absolutely indispensable to one’s com- fcrt, owh.. to the dampness of the climate and the muddiness or dust of the roads; while the wood rims and single tube tires, if a smash occurs, cannot be repaired in any but the largest cities, and this means unnecessary delay and expense. The brakes, as a rule, are not half as powerful as they should be. Altogether, American machines, mud guards and a gear case, which should be made, not of celluloid, rubber, or leather, but of metal; if weight is in- creased, so is your comfort.

Ul == —— Se ESS A}! ——— might ulmost say an emotion—for they are the feeble residue of influences which have probably exercised a predominant coutrol over the history of the earth and the moon since an indeterminate but remote epoch in the past, and will continue that control into the distant future. According to the law of universal gravitation, the moon attracts Matter which stands near to her more strongly than that which is more remote. It follows tnat the attraction on the ocean, at the side of the earth which is nearest to the moon, must be greater than that exer- cised on the solid earth itself. Hence there is a tendency for the sea to depart from its natural spherical shape and to bulge out- ward toward the moon. So far the matter is simple; but it is perplexing to many thst the moon should apparently repel the wa- ter lying on the further side of the earth. This action, however, is not due to any ideal repulsion from the moon, but results irom the fact that on the further side the moon must attract the solid earth more strongly than it does the water. On the nearer side the moon pulls the water away from the earth and on the further side she pulls the earth away from the water, thus producing an apparent repulsion of the water*to an extent equal to the attraction on the other side. In this way there arises tendency for the ocean to bulge equally toward and away from the moon, and to assume an egg-like shape. ee Rejuvenating Versailles, From the Philadelphia Telegraph. An attempt is to be made by a commit- tee of politicians, financiers and artists to rejuvenate sleepy old Versailles, the city so clesely identified with the glories of France. It is proposed to turn the large Louis XV hall in the right wing of the palace into a theater and concert room. Parisians are to be attracted by select musical programa, and elaborately mounted productions of the comedies of Moliere, some of which first saw the light at Versailles. Moliere’a plays are to be staged on a grand scale, with the ballets. divertissements ‘and costumes of the period. Versailled will thus, it is said, become the Bayreuth of the immortal author of “Tartuffe’: and “The Bourgeois Gentilhomme,”’ 3 In order to increase the facilities for reaching the old royal borough, the West- ern Ratlway Company ts favorable to the project of running #'‘train from the new station near the Hotel ges Invalides, which could reach the histaria. place of Versailles in twenty minutes....Under existing ar- rangements, it three-quarters of an heur to get by sailles nearest -to re an additional i | b Tien’s $2.50 Pants.
