"Nothing new under the sun," has

lire mining lefuse. II became necessaiy
to piocuie ntw land on which to dump
the lettre. The most available ground
was ol ciuise the mining company's
land wist ol the Hacks which could
only be leachid by a tieslle or bildge
ovei the intervening Delawaie and
lluili-on Hacks
THE BRIDGE DESIGNED.
To meet this necsMty the designing
depaitment of the Lackawanna Imn
and Steel company prepared a sr t ol
plans for a bildge, novel In the concep
tion of mateilal to be used, which Is
steel lulls, sin h as ale used by the steam
lallwav systems, and aie inunuiaetuied
bj the Lai kuw.iniia lion and Steel com
pany. Such a In Idge Is new In the an
nals of bildge constiuctlon.
The bridge, ot which a side elevation
Is pio'cntid heieuith, was designed
last November. When completed, about
Febrimij flist, it will combine, among
other good qualities, lightness, ilgldlty,
nnd dm ability, with a capability of
sustaining a llfteen-ton locomotive,
which will subsequently leplace the
mule pouei now In use. The structure
which will be composed almost entiiely
ot eighty pound steel rails, known as
"seconds," Is seemed upon two piles ot
masoniy, each eluht and one-half feet
high, fiom which ilse the two tnvveis
each tlili t J leeet, three Inches high.
The span of the two ti usses between
these toweis vvill be seventy-two feet
In length, and the approaches to the
bildge will be composed of cilbs of
logs ond stone.
AIANY OBSTACLES TN THE WAY.
In the constiuctlon of the bildge thcie
were seveial obFtacles which hud to be
faced. The Hist of these was one of a
peculiar natuie. The culm pile, east
of the shaft, where tne bildge Is being
built, has beenaflie for many yeais, and
to obviate any danger of this (lie leach
ing the foundation of the bildge, or the
cilbbing of the appioaches, it was lound
necessaiy to cut out, or excavate the
binning culm in the neighborhood of
the approaches,. This was accomplished
and to stopthe spiead of the Hie tow at d
the bildge uppiouch, a layer of clay
seveial feet In depth was spiead over
the sin face of the excavated spot. Then
in the placing of the imn woik In posi
tion the woik Is gieutly i etui tied by the
ntcessity of keeping ti clear track lor
the Delawaie and Hudson company's
ti utile.
The fact that a train of cars passi s
this spot on an uvernge, every twenty
minutes of the week day, has necessi
tated the woik ot placing the toweis
and ti usses lu position on Sun
days. On each of the last two
Sundays a tower has been placed In
position and next Sunday, It Is expect
ed that the ti usses will be placed In
position.
An oflklnl of the Lackawanna Steel
company, st ited, jt. -.terday that the
bridge would be completed and ready
lor use by Feb. 1.

A letter linn just been iccelved from
Dr. Arthur T. Plei.son, editor In chief
of the Missionary Review ot the Woild,
stating that though he wns lilted up
with engagements tor this week which
would have compelled him to lefuse an
Invitation of any other soit, yet he be
lieved the situation In Scianton to be so
Impottunt that the invitation ot the
committee seeemed like a cull of God,
and so he has at ranged to cancel his
other engagements and niiange for a
change of appointment so Hint he can
attend Wednesday's meeting In 121m

NOT ENOUGH OF WORKERS.
Though each of the grout native states
has been occupied b a missionary oi two,
many snuillei states have not yet been
entered bi a sime preacher, teaehei oi
htulei, Nepaul alone being shut to the
Gospel Bengal has a non-Chiisti in popu

these United States, and Jiahai bus hut
thirty missionaries, one-half being wo
men, for 2"i,wu,0W souls.
Outside of India und China tbeie lie tlvo
great distiltts as et totally unreached
by the missionaries of the cioss; three of
them He in Asia, one in Afiica ami one In
South Ameilca. They ale as fololvvs;

whereas, it is only a pint or the 'vast un

2. Upper A-lu, or Rus-lu Asia, where only
Greek priests havo an ueiess to the peo

shrine of the false prophet.
