of Constable a short while before

AN AGE OF BRIDGES.

The River
Bridge That I. to Be.
It has become a custom to speak
of the present time as the age of
electricity, but there are good
reasons for calling it also the bridge
age. Some of the artificial high-
ways which now in course of
construction, others which are in
contemplation, and some of the
greater oops which have been built
in recent years represent an
expenditure of capital.
Few people know how great the
of money is that is Invested in
the bridges which connect
tan Island with the mainland and
with Long Island. When those new
ones for which charters have been
obtained are put across the East
river, Hell Gate and the Hudson
river, the bridges of New York will
represent an investment of capital
equal to that of the New York-
Central railroad system, or to the
Western Union Telegraph company.
Each of these great corporations is
capitalized at about a hundred mil-
lions of dollars.
The don bridge over the
East river cost fifteen millions, the
beautiful Washington bridge over
the Harlem more than two millions,
and the proposed Hudson river
bridge will cost about forty mil-
lions.
The two suspension bridges
to be built over the East river, each
larger than the famous bridge that
suspended between New
York and Brooklyn, will cost ten
millions apiece, and when they and
the Hudson river bridge are com-

with its outlying districts
by thirteen artificial highways, each
a triumph of engineering science.
These bridges over New York
waters illustrate a comparatively
small part of the energy, capital and
engineering genius that are being
devoted to bridge construction in
the United States.
Two great bridges are to be built
over the Niagara river, one near the
falls and one connecting the city of
Buffalo with the Canada shore.
It is proposed also to construct a
mammoth bridge across the
near New Orleans.
The science of bridge building was
revolutionized when
planned the Brooklyn bridge. His
daring amazed the engineers of the
world. He had no previous example
on so large a scale to aid him, and
therefore was compelled to rely upon
theoretical demonstrations.
Yet after eleven years of use it
has been found that mis-
calculated In no detail, however
small. The science of bridge build-
has advanced so greatly since
in his closet thought out
the principle upon which the Brook-
suspension bridge should

A Laughing Plant.

It obtains name from the
effects produced by eating its seeds.
The natives of the district where the
plant grows dry these seeds and re-
duce them to powder. A small dose
of powder has similar effects to
those arising from the excessive use
of intoxicants. It causes the most
sober person to dance and laugh,
with the boisterous excitement of a
madman, and to rush about, cutting
the most ridiculous capers, for an
hour. At the expiration of this
time exhaustion sets in and the ex-
cited person falls asleep, to wake

PASSING OF THE
Hotel Managers Mourn the Growing
Scarcity of Wedding Couples.
At a recent conference of hotel
proprietors the bride as a guest
came up for discussion. All those
present agreed that she has changed
her haunts and habits, Is a shy bird,
and, though as easily recognized as
of old, is seldom captured by the big
hostelries. A well-known Niagara
was full of regrets and in-
on the subject. He de-
says the New York Sun, that
the frequent and unfeeling
per paragraphs directed against her
had cost him hundreds of couples
annually.
The manager of a famous New
York hotel remarked that among
the wealthy people publicity
mediately after marriage is
avoided. The honeymoon,
which was formerly passed on
trains, ocean steamer's or at
Inns, Is now spent In the

constant desertions from the

Democratic party. Prodigals are

One morning at sunrise Pedro and j

Before we had proceeded far the
sounds of gunshots the distance
attracted our attention. We soon
came up with the shooters, and were
delighted to find that they were the
very hunters who had yesterday en-
countered the boa we were in
quest of.
Over the forest-dad hills for some
two miles we with difficulty made
our way, continually slashing a road
with our cutlasses, to where there
was a deep ravine.
It was among the rocks en the
side of this ravine that they
had seen the boa on the evening be-
fore. About half way down, or, per-
haps, fifty feet from the gravelly
bottom, they showed us the spot
where he had lain, and the hole in
tho rock into which they said he had
glided at their approach.
As he was not now in his hiding
place we set diligently to work to
search every rock and bush the
vicinity. Pedro, meanwhile, left us,
and, going down to the dried
up river bod, began to seek him be-
neath the bushes overhanging the
sandy margin. lie was very soon

he shouted.
On hearing this we all stood still,
anxiously gazing down at him, won-
what it was he had
As he uttered the words we
saw him in the act of ascending a
huge overshadowed by a
spreading fan-palm's spacious leaves.
For a moment he was lost to view.
The palm leaves swayed and
violently, before we had
time to move a step there was Pedro
roiling off the down to the
sand below, with the enormous
snake coiled with its many folds
around him. As he fell he yelled
out wildly for assistance. I shouted
to him to hold him fast and not let
go any account, and while we
hurried down the rough incline he
could be heard swearing lustily as
he struggled to free himself from the
tightening embraces of hie prisoner.
There he lay on his back holding the
great boa, with one hand clutched
about its throat. There was coil
upon coil of the monster's length
wound around his neck and arms and
body. His legs only were free, and
with these he tried vigorously to get
on his feet; but in vain, for the
weight around his neck and
as well as the pinioning of his
arms, completely prevented any
such action. He could only lie there
helplessly on his back and kick.
When reached him he could speak
no more and his face was fast grow-
livid, though otherwise he was
conscious enough; but the pressure
round his throat was too much for
him. The swollen veins stood out
upon his forehead and his eyes
the snake
was strangling him, while he still
kept it clutched by the throat, for
though a boa constrictor cannot
crush one's ribs, he can easily
squeeze a neck quite enough to
choke. Now, the best way to
loose a coiled boa is to commence at
the tail, so for that jumped at
and found it stoutly en
around the stems of the bushes. I
proceeded to untie it, but as fast as
I could get it off from one place it
instantly twisted afresh around an-
other.
As it was clear that this delay
might have serious consequences,
at once prepared for other tactics.
I knew that if I threatened the ex-
cited reptile while Pedro remained
perfectly still and quietly let go his
hold on its throat, the beast would
at once attack me by biting, but not
by winding around me, for this
they never do, except with animals
they intend to swallow or when held
prisoner, as Pedro was now holding
this one. Preparing myself, there-
fore, for the onset by taking the bags
we had with us and wrapping them
around my hands to protect them
against its teeth, I stood off a little
by the reptile's head and shouted to
Pedro to let go, which he had till
now been afraid to do The other
hunters, meanwhile, paralyzed by
stood around, not knowing at
the what course to pursue.
They never uttered a word, in
pugilistic attitude, I took my
before the hissing snake, and,
with both hands protected by the
tags, as with boxing gloves feigned
a blow him the moment Pedro
loosened his grasp. The enraged
animal, seeing me thus menacingly
moving in of him, gave vent to
a in st terrifying hiss, and bit to-
ward me with widely-gaping jaws.
He struck right toward my face, but
Ml short of his mark, for he was too
entwined around the boy to
out inc.
His folds now began to loosen on
all his being directed to
me. This was just what I desired,
draw him from hi relaxing cm-
brace of my and so allow
the latter to come to my aid in
his capture. For several
minutes I kept the angry snake
biting at me, and as after each at-
tack he would unwind another twist
of his body Pedro, whom repeated-
warned to stay quiet, was soon
almost entirely free, while I sparred
vigorously with my hissing
without, of course, ever
lowing him to catch me.
Alternately he would dash madly
at me then gather himself anew
for another spring. Slowly he was
following me, while I retreated. At
every attack his powerful tail would
swish through the loose gravel,
sending the dry dust in yellowish
clouds about himself. Now that he

word to Pedro to jump up and cut a
good-sized polo In the thicket. With
this we both to press down
his neck, pinning him firmly to the
ground, upon which he tried vainly
to turn and bite the offending wood,
and twisted himself around it right
up to our very hands. Quickly at
my call the other hunters came to
our assistance and while they held
some to the pole and some to the
snake, I caught him firmly, just as
Pedro had done before, around the
neck with both hands. Now that I
had him by tho head, Pedro by the
tail and some others by the middle,
we soon got him loose from the pole
and triumph bore him off home-
wards, through tho forests, for none
of the bags we had with us was any-
thing like large enough to Stow him
in.
We stopped to rest in open
spot where there lay a remnant of a
prostrate tree about twenty feet
long-and eighteen inches in
with its interior entirely
lowed out by the combined work of
natural decay and wood-boring in-
sects. It was suggested that, if one
end of tho cavity was stopped up,
we could allow our captive to glide
into it, and then, having closed up
the other end also, carry him home
our shoulders, for the whole
was as dry as tinder and not
heavier than so much cork. Accord-
having plugged up end
with bundles of vines and weeds
tightly wadded In, we got the snake
to enter readily by releasing his
head in tho mouth of the open end
scratching him vigorously about
the tail, because ho thought he was
escaping into the darkness of the in-
As we were stopping up the
second end in a similar manner to

small ants making their appearance

to them at the time. As soon, how-
ever, as we took the burden on our
shoulders the efforts of the

disturbed a whole colony of the
terrible in the interior,
which, swarming millions through
every crack and crevice, covered our
necks and shoulders, getting down
between our clothing and our skins,
slinging and biting us with such
fury that simultaneously we dropped
our load began to tear off our
clothing as fast as possible to rid
ourselves of our tormentors. This
was not the worst, for the

BICYCLE IN WAR.
An English Experiment to Demon-
Its Usefulness.
A Distance of Miles
in Fifty-Two Twenty-
Seven
in Many Line.
The practice of bicycling has In-
creased with such rapid-
as to have become one of the dis-
features of modern so-
The connection of this art
with the development of an extend-
ed system of good roads is obviously
very close, and as the roads of
this country are still to a great ex-
tent ill-constructed, the use of the
bicycle may be regarded as here In
its infancy. In the older c
where the density of population
Is such as to make the of
building perfect roads tolerable, bi-
have multiplied to such an
extent as to far outnumber,
those who use horses. One
satisfactory result of this new sys-
for tourists promises to the
rehabilitation of the wayside inn;
an institution which was practically
ruined this country by the decay
of the stage coach. An experiment
recently tried England shows
that it is not improbable that the
art of war may receive some
cation from this new method of
movement.
A club of cyclists, wishing to show
what might done in the way of
carrying dispatches hi time of war,
when other means of communication
had broken down, asked the war of-
to let them carry a dispatch
from London to Edinburgh and bring
back a reply. The war office, with
the usual stupidity of a government
bureau, declined to have anything
to do with the matter, but it was
arranged with the Pall Mall Ga-
that their offices in the two
cities should be used as termini.
Relays of cyclists, riding in pairs to
avoid loss of time by accident, were
duly stationed, and the letter once
started was carried through Eng-
land, as the Spectator says, like a
fiery cross. Tho weather was ex-
bad, the rain falling in tor-
rents and a head wind being
all the way to Edinburgh.
less between o'clock of
a Thursday morning and of the
next Saturday the dispatch was car-
to its destination the an-
brought back. Tho distance
of miles was thus covered in
hours and minutes, an average of
miles an hour. In the very best
days of coaching the shortest time
made between London and Edin-
burgh was hours and minutes.
Such a result as this will open the
eyes of the war offices of the
if not of England. It indicates
that we may presently see bodies of
cyclists attached as orderlies to the
staff of every general. Nor is it
probable that such a body would
not take tho place, for many
poses, of cavalry. The same causes
that lead men to sell their horses
and take to bicycles will be opera-
in military economy. In this
peaceful land may not witness
such a development of bicycling as
this; but we shall be contented if it
leads to the improvement of our
roads and Y. Even-

New Use for Natural G.-is.
The possibilities of natural gas
evidently have not yet. been ex-
The latest use which
would Beam to have been found for

simply to expand the gas from
its usually high initial pressure down
to or near that of the atmosphere,
nature having done all the

making the ready to ab-
heat from its surroundings
mediately upon being released from
confinement. All that would be
necessary would be suitable coils or
chambers into the gas could
be allowed to expand. It has been
calculated out quite plausibly, in
fact, that with an ordinary gas well,
furnishing 1.500,000 cubic feet per
day, something tons of ice
could be turned out daily at an ex-
of about fifty cents a ton.
The gas loses nothing but its press-
retaining all its calorific value
and hence all its virtue for rolling-
mill and glass works use, for heat-
brick, lime and pottery kilns
and the endless number of Other
furnaces to which it is adapted. In
a certain therefore, the gas
may be regarded as affording some-
thing for desideratum to

looking forward.
The Deep, Deep Sea-
It b a remarkable fact that the
deepest parts of the sea in all

deepest sounding known,

miles from the islands;
the next deepest, fathoms,
was found seventy miles of
Rico. With a few exceptions
like these the depth of ocean as
far as now known does reach
fathoms, or four sea miles.
The North Pacific has a mean depth
of fathoms, the South Pacific

A STAMP COLLECTOR
SCARED THE AGENT.
WANTED.
Louis and His Collection j
of Postage Stamps.
It fa Pronounced by Who
Seen It to He tho In the
United Recent
Addition.
Louis the possessor of
what Is pronounced by all who have
had the felicity of viewing it the
finest collection of postage stamps
in the United States, is now so-
in this city at the Palace
hotel, says the San Francisco Call.
He is a gentleman of mature years,
and makes the collection of postage
stamps the diversion of his leisure,
just as others go in for pictures,
jewels, entertainments or any other
hobby.
Of late he has been traveling
about considerably, and wherever he
stops he makes the rounds of the
stamp dealers and frequently picks
up a few varieties for his album, but
does not hesitate to buy good stamps
if he can secure them at what ho
considers reasonable During
his stay in this city, for instance, he
has purchased in the neighborhood
of one thousand worth of
stamps, among which were but two
that he did not possess. Both of
these he bought at bargain prices.
They were a pink of British Co-
unperforated, of 1861, and a
of Western Australia, by
mistake has been printed in violet,
tho color of tho It is said that
but one sheet of one hundred of these
stamps were thus printed when tho
error was discovered and corrected.
For the first mentioned ho paid
thirty-five dollars and for the latter
forty dollars. Each is
for one hundred dollars, but tho
seller was unaware of their real
value. Mr. said ho had
never before seen either of
stamps in any collection during
fourteen years of philatelic
Since the local collectors
have heard of his they
arc exceedingly wroth at themselves
over their stupidity In overlooking
these prizes.
With the lapse of years his printed
album became so crowded and
unsightly that ho had special books
prepared for his collection, which
now includes also entire envelopes,
postal cards, wrappers and letter
sheets. His adhesive stamps are
contained in three albums, one for
tho western hemisphere, one for
Europe and one for Asia, Africa and
Australia. His envelopes and wrap-
fill two albums and his postal
cards four. He also has a special
album for Russian rural stamps.
He estimates that he has in tho
neighborhood of twenty-five thou-
sand varieties of stamps, envelopes,
wrappers and postal cards in his
collection. Their value he places at
about fifty thousand dollars.
The mention of a few facts regard-
it will give a fair idea of it. In
confederate local or provisional
stamps he has no less than thirty-
five, ranging in price from ten to
one hundred and fifty dollars, and
aggregating about two thousand
dollars. His Russian rural stamps,
mostly old issues, number about six
hundred, and are worth an
gate sum of fifteen hundred dollars.
Then he has, so far as he can re-
member, about two hundred stumps
worth fifty dollars or more each.
When he left Europe he did not
his stamps with him, but had
them shipped later by express, with
an insurance on them of thirty thou-
sand dollars. They are now in safe
deposit vaults in New York city.

Well, the other day a book agent

of houses. He put into one after

to put to sea again. But ho was

Now this estimable book agent
had bad habit. He would now

this particular day in question ho
had not been doing well financially,
and as a solace to his soul he had in-
in a number of beers. Ho
was calmly superior to the world as
he walked up the steps at the first
door of the hotel and rang the boll.
A very pretty little maid in cap
and apron answered the bell. She
dismissed him politely but firmly.
They did not want any new books at
their house. The agent tipped his
hat and put out to sea again.
At the second door ho made for

however, passed through the con-

a second time. She smiled at his

up the steps of tho fourth door,
climbing them fearfully as a man
might climb them in a dream. He
had realized suddenly that the day
was frightfully hot, that tho boor
within him was frightfully cold, and
that between tho two he was likely
to perish speedily. His agitation
was very great.
