KALBFUS SCORES
UNFAIR CAME LAWS
HARRISBI RG, July s.—The State
game commission held its semi-annual
meeting at its new ollicc in the new
capitol today, for the purpose of hear
ing the semi annual report of Secre
tary Kalbfus and the transaction [of
routine busines- There were present
President James 11. Wonlen, Harris-
Iturg. secretary, Joseph Kalbfus, Har
rislmrg :J. M. Phillips, Pittsburg; C.
K Sober, Lewisburg; William Hey
ward Meyers, Williamsport ;3£Dr.
Charlt s li. Penrose, Philadelphia, and
former State Treasurer Frank C.
Harris, of Clearfield.
A most encouraging condition of
affairs regarding the increase of game
in the State was presented by Secre
tary Kalbfus, which is mainly due to
the enforcement of tin- laws and the
great interest the public is taking in
game protection. The absence of forest
tires has also tended to increase game,
and Dr. Kalbfus commends the vigil
ance of the authorities in this direc
tion.
Attention i» called to the fact that
the game laws in some respects are un
fair, and their rejieal is recommended.
For instance a guuner in this State
can only kill a certain number of
migratory fowl, hut in adjoining
States to which they fly when leaving
Pennsylvania the gunners can kill as
many as they please. There is also a
law in this State providing a fiue of
SSO for digging a rabbit out of its war
ren. while the tine for shooting a rab
bit is hut $lO, and Dr. Kalbfus wants
to know wherein lies the difference.
Again, the law imposes a fine of SSO
for destroying a bird's nest on a tree,
and yet the owner of a home, if he
finds robins or other birds destroying
his fruit or damaging his property can
kill them indiscriminately, and there
is no fine at all.
Secretary Kalbfus strongly recoin
mends that a law be passed making it
a jienal offence for any unnaturalized
foreign born resident to own a gun or
any other kind of firearms. In the last
six months five officers of the game
commission, in hunting offenders
against tin- game laws, have been shot
at and wounded by foreigners,and one
man was brutally murdered by Italians
in the western part of the State, and
hi\hotly thrown into the river.simply
because he performed bis duty and
prosecuted foreign violators of the
game laws.
The game wardens, by the way. are
all doing go<nl work, and have pros
ecuted many offenders, the fines from
which goto the department.
The department brought from Ala
baina for propagating purposes, 3,547
quail.and they are all said to be doing
finely. A number died on the way
here, but in bringing quail here uext
year Dr. Kalbfus will have them ship
ped in a patent box which will admit
of them getting light, air, food and
water. Three sites foi game preserves
have been selected, one in Clinton
county, a second in Clearfield and a
third in Franklin, all on forestry land
owned by the State. The foreign quail
have all been distributed throughout
the State, and are reported to be ex
ceptionally hardy. A brood of about
twenty sickly ones, the poorest lot of
tin- imported birds, were placed on an
island in the Juniata river in Perry
county, and every one of tliem is liv
ing and hardy, and the brood has in
creased to twice the original size.
It was impossible to get deer or wild
turkeys for propagating purixises, but
the commission is on the watch and
ready to purchase when opportunity
offers. There are plenty of deer in
captivity, but the owners will not
■ell. There are no wild turkeys pur
chaseablc anywhere.
Dr. Kalbfus recommends that a law
IK- pa-sed requiring all resident hunt
eis to take out a license, as is done in
other states, and in this way make the
department self sustaining. Atfpres
ent only unnaturalized foreigners are
required to to take out a hunting iT
cense.
During the half year there were col
lected about SI,BOO in fines, of whcli
SOOO went to informers.
Dr. Kalbfus says that lie has informa
tion to tin* effect that at a certain
point in this State a flock of alwuif ioO
wild pigeons have been nesting for the
past two years. The wild pigeon dis
appeared from this continent over
twenty years ago, and Dr. Kalbfus is
of the opinion that they may be com
ing back. If so, stringent laws will
1»« passed for their protection.
Two Coal Diggers.
Two coal diggers belonging to North
umberland parties are now employed
daily, extracting coal near the bend of
the ri»*er The coal diggers nre at
work near the southern shore and the}
each scoop up a boat load of fine coal
every day.
EVERYBODY TO
GET FISH WOW
In his semi-annual report to tlie
Fisheries Conunisison which lias been
approved by tlio commission ami has
been sent to the Governor, Fish Comis
siouer Median says that for I lie first
time in the history of the Department
itll of the applications for fish will he
filled this year. Up to .Tune I, the
ending of the first half of the fiscal
year of the department, the out put by
the department was 1391,450,000 fish.
This number i-. more than 1,000,000 in
excess of the output for the years of
1903, 11*01, 11)0.") combined, and is only
f»,000,000 less than the output for the
combined years of 1902, 1903, 1901 and
1905.
Of the enormous number of fish put
out by the department credit is given
field work for 250,000,000. The fry were
gathered by men sent to the lakes in
Wavne and Pike counties, their efforts
resulting in 250,000,000 young fish ; the
report states that ninety-five per cent,
of these would have died in the natur
al state.
It is hoped to fill applications for
black bass during the coming months.
The several hatcheries of the depart
ment have produced 125,000 of this
popular game fish and 05,000 have
been procured in the field; the field
work is expected to produce produce
at least 10,(XX) more and it is hoped to
have all of the fry ready to ship be
fore August 1.
Applications have been made for fish
in the number named as follows:
Trout, 5,000: pickerel, vellow perch,
frogs, black bass and wall eyed pike,
500 each ; catfish, 200. Frogs are treat
ed as "fish" in making up these sta
tistics. The aggregate number of fish
represented in these applications, ill
round numbers, is -100,000,000.
SHAD WORK ON THE DKLAWAKK
The report states that the shad work
in the Delaware river during the
spring carried on by the Pennsylvania
department in connection with the
Federal, New York and New Jersey
departments, was very successful. The
Pennsylvania men gathered 3,130,000
shad spawn to be hatched at Torres
dale. Nearly all of the fry will re
main iv the Delaware. New York anil
New Jersey is each to get a propor
tionate share of the fry but of the
amount credited to New York only
150,000 will be transferred to the Hud
son river. The balance of New York's
allotment will he placed in the Dela
ware,as will the ent ire shares of Penn
sylvania and New Jersey. During the
work among the shad the Fishhawk,
the Federal government's boat, gath
ered 238,000 sha<l eggs.
WHKKK MOSQUITOES BREED.
Mosquitoes are breeding by the mil
lion in the old canal and in a very
short time the town no doubt will be
infested as badly as last summer,when
mosquitoes proved a greater jx*st than
for many years past. This is only an
other way in which the abandoned
canal proves a nuisance to Danville.
Some of the Pennsylvania towns that
have stagnant water nearby in order
to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes
employ petroleum, which is poured
upon the surface of the water. This of
course would prove perfectly feasible
in the canal,if any one could lie found
willing to foot the bill.
The mosquito's bite is bail enough,
nut the insect is to be dreaded in oth
er ways. It is now pretty well establ
ished that the mosquito is responsible
for the spread of malaria as well as
yellow fever. Perhaps the board of
health will take the matter up witii
the borough council and recommend
the use of petroleum in the old canal;
also that council will see its way clear
to adopt the recommendation of the
board of health and do what it can to
eliminate the mosquito nuisance.
SWIMMEItS' PROTECTION.
An example of the bravado and utter
disregard for the law that is exhibited
by certain of the juveniles of this
community is shown by the rather
unusual methods employed by a
"gang" of boys to protect themselves
from a watchman while swimming in
foibidden waters.
The ice pond on the Bennett estate
possesses marked attractions for the
youths as a swimming pool, more so
probably liecause the pastime is pro
hibited at that spot. It is the custom
of Watchman John Kreiger to keep a
sharp lookout about the poml to pre
vent the boys from indulging their
natatorial proclivities. A hard time
he has of it too, for their ways are
divers and dubious and difficult to cir
cumvent.
On Tuesday, however, the climax
was reached. Mr. Kreiger was inform
ed that the "gang" was in possession
of the pond, and he hastening to rout
the offenders,what was his surprise to
hear the sharp command to "Halt!"
and to find himself facing the busi
ness ends of two dangerous looking
gnus, behind which were two of the
boys who were standing uuard over
the jiool to protect their comrades from
the depredations of the enemy.
Mr. Kreiger, naturally, was at a
h»> as to how to proceed, and think
ing of no way to outwit the lads, beat
a dignified retreat.
After the first section had finished
its bath,the members manned the guns
and did guard duty, while the others
had their swim.
LOWERY BROS'
SNOWS COMING
Lowery Brothers' big shows are com
ing to Danville and will exhibit on
the furnace lot near the Heading sta
tion, Monday and Tuesday, July it and
10.
Lowery Bros.' circus has been seen
in Danville before and has always
given good satisfaction. This year the
circus has a number of interesting
features which will be new to Dan
ville people. Manager Lowery takes
great pride in the show this year and
say- he considers it the best show lie
has ever carried.
A free show is given at the grounds
every afternoon and evening.
■GUESS FISHES
EVEKTFOL SESSION
The first session of the fifty ninth
congress went into history Saturday,
it lias been a strenuous session from
start to finish. The measure which
caused the greatest debate is the rail
road rate bill. Begun with the session
its consideration continued
out.
The pure food enactment and the
meat inspect ion provision are also im
portant changes in the federal attitude,
towards both the producer and con
sumer of the country.
A uniform and more strict method
of naturalizing aliens was enacted.
The immunity of witnesses from
prosecution who give testimony before
government tribunals was made the
subject of an enactment which clearly
states when such immunity obtains
and when otherwise.
A bill removing the internal revenue
tax oil denatured alcohol was passed.
LOOK-LKVKL CANAL SELECTED.
The type of the Panama canal was
fixed, thus settling a question which
has perplexed both the professional
and lay mind. The president is to
build a lock-level canal, and was giv
en a total of $:tii,ooo,000 for the year
for that purpose. It was required that
the material for the canal should be
of American manufacture unless the
president shall fiud the price excessive
in which case he is given authority to
buy abroad
I'm c » mil ir sirsric >. ,vi; given a
complete new legal status which will
permit of an entire reorganization.
When the appropriations for the ses
sions are totaled it will lie found that
their aggregate has reached nearly
nine hundred million dollars. This is
a greater sum than has been made
available since rhe war congress of
18!tS. Of this amount $25,000,000 will
go into new public bu.tilings in var
ious section of the country. The leg
islation on appropriation bills has the
characteristic throughout of being re
strictive upon the government depart
ment heads in the matter of making
tlieir expenditures and submitting
their estimates to congress. It has
been the desire of congress to put an
end,as far as possible to deficiency ap
propriations.
SET HACK FOR NAVAL INCREASE
The naval increase whieff has been
going on annually, received somewhat
of a set-back. The largest "battleship
afloat" was authorized, but congress
required that before bids for its con
struction could be submitted,the plans
must be sent to congress at its next
session.
The annual appropriation for the
State militia was doubled and here
after (HH>, OOO will be spent from tin-
Federal treasury for the purpose of
keeping the State military organiza
tions in touch with the regular army.
Congress gave vent to the draft of a
bill intended to preserve the scenic
beauty of Niagara Falls, ami the mea
sure was passed.
The tariff to be collected by the
Philippine government on goods en
tering the island trade, was revised.
A measure of importance to railroad
and other emploves engaged in hazard
ous employments, known as the em
ployers' liability bill, became a law.
The government will participate in
the Jamestown centennial exposition
and $1,355,000 was authorized expend
ed out of the federal treasury for that
event.
Speedy appropriation for the Sail
Francisco sufferers resulted from re
quests by the president. Two and a
half million was donated directly and
supplies from the stores of the govern
ment nearly equal that amount.
Private pension legislation for tho
benefit of the old soldiers who are un
able to receive a pension under the
statute laws kept up its usual heavy
pace.
Installation of Officers.
The installation of officers took place
on Monday night at Montour castle,
No. lHti, Knights of the Golden Eagle.
The installing officer was F. M. Her
ri ugton, District Grand Chief,assisted
by Grand Castle officers. The officers
were installed as follows: Past chief,
Francis Hartman ; noble chief, Lafay
ette Foust; vice chief, Bradley Me-
Lain; high priest, Charles Wagner;
venerable hermit, Albert Bookniiller;
sir herald, John Mitchell: ensign, Ja
cob Miller; esquire, A. Stead; first
guard, John Foulk; second guard,
Edward Lunger; worthy chamberlain,
David llaring; worthy hard, Dallas
Hummer; trustee, Walter Gaskins.
There was a large attendance. It
was a most enjoyable occasion and the
inspiring interest, manifested was due
to the fact that a new cave was instal
led and fully demonstrated during the
session which adds beauty and perfec
tion to the newly equipped parapher
nalia which has been recently placed
in service. The equipment has shown
a marked effect on the welfare of the
castle.

LITTLE COONS'
QUEER STUNTS
Tlie throe little racoons, which for a
couple of weeks past have been an at
traction in the window of M. 11.
Schram's store, Mill street, have been
removed to DeWitt's Park where they
will remain the balance of the season.
The little animals have been viewed
by thousands of persons while at Mr.
Schram's -tore. Frequently the side
walk has been nearly blocked ny peo
ple, who were crowding around the
window. The little animals seem to
understand that a good deal is expect
ed of them and they are just as amus
ing as they can be. Indeed, their an
tics at times surpassed all belief. They
are natural little acrobats. To bring
out their accomplishments Mr. Schram
installed a small horizontal bar and a
swing. The coons seemed to divine
the use of each and while one mounted
the bar the other took the swing and
in a short time they were doing stunts
that rivaled the performance of tin?
most accomplished human actors. Ev
ery day they add something to their
accomplishments. They reached the
climax on Thursday evening, how
ever, when they learned how to turn
out the gas. Suddenly Mr. Schram be
came aware that the front part of the
store was in darkness and upon in
vestigating he found that one of the
coons had managed to reach the Wels
bach burner and turned out the light.
The burner was relighted, but it was
only a few minutes until one of the
coons had climbed up tlie window and
turned off the gas for the second time.
Of course the logical conclusion would
be that the coons in their inquisitive
and meddlesome way unconsciously
manipulated the tliiimb screw which
turned off the gas without knowing
that there would be any effect, al
though many persons indulge the pleas
ing fancy that the young coons knew
exactly what they were about and
turned off the gas because at night
they preferred darkness to artificial
light.

GUARD HUMAN LIVES.
Some days ago an employe of the
locomotive shops of the Heading Rail
way company, at Reading, was killed
by the accidental fall of a steel hook
from a traveling crane. His skull was
fractured and his left arm torn off.
The coroner's jury in its verdict sug
gested that if any modern device were
in existence for more securely fasten
ing s.iid steel hooks it ought to be ad
opted. That jury did the thing right.
Human life is too precious a commod
ity to permit this reckless waste. It is
the supreme duty of corporations em

as of private employers, to spare 110

THE BOROUGH LOCK-UP.
The term "cooler" applied to the
lock-up in these days of hot weather
records is a misnomer; judging by its
effect on tint unhappy offender who
languishes for awhile under its roof it
might more properly be termed a
"sweat box." The broad shed roof of
the low building receives the rays of
the mid-summer sun nearly vertically
with the result that the close stuffy in
terior becomes heated up to an intense
degree. Men who emerge from tlie
building after a few hours confinement
in the day time are soaked with per
spiration and present a decidedly wilt
ed apperance. The extreme discom
fort of even a short confinement should
have a deterrent effect on all who are

KIBE THIEF'S
MB FEEL
Wire thieves have made their ap
pearance in this vicinity. The Dan
ville and Sunbury trolley line was the
first attacked. The thief, however,
failed to get any wire, but instead
came very near being caught by fall
ing into his own trap.
The affair rook place a couple days
ago and although instantly discovered
by the company nothing was said
about tht' matter. The time was im
proved by quietly working along sev
eral lines in the hope of finding the
gurilty party, who according to indica
tions was a novice, unaccustomed to
cutting trolley wire.
The morning following the visit of
the thieves the copper wire, about
three eighths of an inch thick, was
found cut in two at a point about mid
way between town and the hospital
for the ins..no. It was plain that the
thief had climbed the pole and obliv
ious of what might occur when the
tightly drawn copper wire was severed
had crawled out along the iron arm
that carries the wire and with a stout
nippers or other tool began work. A
glance sufficed to show what had oc
curred.
When the wire snapped in two each
portion relieved of the strain, under
its weight,flew backward with terrific
force. The arm to which the man was
clinging was given a sudden jerk and
carried around by one section of the
wire. Naturally he lost his hold and
was precipitated to the roadway, and
there in the mud was the imprint of
his body where lie fell. The height of
the fall was quite sufficient to cause
injury and that the man was more or
less disabled would be inferred from
the fact that no further attempt was
made to secure the wire.
An examination of the wire showed
the nature of the instrument used in
cutting it. Had none of the plans fail
ed the thief would have secured a
couple of thousand feet of good copper
wire.

CON(,>U KRS K A TTLESN AK E.
A live rattlesnake proved an attrac
tion to a large crowd of people on
Mill street Saturday night. The snake
was three feet long and was brought,
up from the Dit7.h r farm about two
miles below Cameron by Harvey Gard
ner, who is employed at the saw mill
on the Ditzler tract. The snake was
caught by a woman, Mr. Gardner's
wife, who evidently does not share in
the very common dread of snakes.
Mrs. Gardner Saturday was at some
distance from her house when slio en
countered the rattlesnake. Seizing a
club she entered into a combat with
the serpent. With one well directed
blow she quieted the snake and it lay
as if dead. Catching rattlesnakes,
which are wanted for skins, is some
thing of an industry along the moun
tain. Stooping down Mrs. Gardner
picked uj) the apparently dead snake
and started toward the house. The
suak", however, was only stunned and
before long it began to do some lively
squirming. The woman, made a dash
and managed to fling the rattler into
a cage prepared for snakes before it
got into a position to do any harm.
The cage was a plain box covered
with a wire screen. As the rattler lay
imprisoned Mr. Gardner's children
crowded aroun 1 and the serpent be
came very savage. In attempting to
strike at the children the poisonous
fangs of the snake became entangled
in tl "> screen. At this juncture Mrs.
Gardner again distinguished herself
and seizing a small pincers, by a clev
er bit of dentistry, succeeded in ex
tracting one of the venomous fangs.
In this condition the big rattler was
brought to town Saturday night. It
was still full of game and showed that
it only wanted the opportunity to in
flict a mortal bite. It was taken back
to the Ditzler farm.

Loss in Storm
Tliev have serious times in McKees
port also during heavy rain storms.
The Times of that city tells how dur
ing a recent extremely heavy rain a
street which is very steep and was hul
recently paved at a cost of over #24,-
000, was badly damaged. For a consid
erable distance '"the fine new pave
ment was bulged and rose up as though
it were above a volcanic eruption ; tho
paving undulated and the brick in
some parts left the street, and these
with greet bodies of earth and debris
came down the street, tearing and
blockading it." It is a rather serious
thing for the people of a city to sus

MONTOUR'S NEWEST
RURAL THOSE
The Farmer's Mutual Telephone
company, the latest addition to Moil
tour county's extensive 'phonesystem,
is practically completed, and the sub
scribers are enjoying the, many privil
eges of this great convenience.
The new line connects with the U.
T. <fc T. company's wires just this side
of Mausdale, where the .Terseytown
road branches from the State road,and
extends out Frosty valley past Kase
ville to the farm of Joseph Crimm, a
distance of 7J<j miles.
There are 13 'phones on the line, all
in Valley and West Hemlock town
ships except one in Columbia county.
The subscribers are C. F. Styer, Jos
eph Crimm, P. S. Brugler, George D.
Ka.se, John Johnson, Raymond Pur
sel, John Hughes, Hiram Stettler,
Charles Arnwine, Franklin Crossley
and Mrs. Augusta Maus three 'phones.
The 'phones have now all been instal
led with the exception of two of Mrs.
Maus'.
The line works admirably and is a
credit to its constructors. In a con
versation yesterday with C. F. Styer,
we were able to judge of its ex
cellence.
The officers of the Farmers' Mutual
company are: President, C. F. Styer:
secretary,S. P. Styer; treasurer, Frank
lin Crossley; board of directors, John
Crossley, Hiram Stettler and Charles
Arnwine.
Another Storni Visits Berwick.
Another severe storm visited Ber
wick Saturday afternoon about 5
o'clock. Hundreds of trees were blown
down, garuen crops were ruined and
thousands of dollars damage was done
in the T minutes the storm lasted.
Lightning struck a number of build
ings but they were all cold strokes.
The barn \V. Seibert was un
roofed. One of the big overhead elec

The barn on the Jackson farm, one
of the finest and largest in that sec
tion was demolished. B. F. Slmltz
who works the farm lost several hun
dred dollars in damaged vehicles and
implements.
The grand stand on tlie Berwick ball
grounds was picked up like a toy
house, hurled over by the fence and
smashed to pieces. Had the storm been
a half hour earlier the stand would
have been crowded with the spectators
at the Berwick-Cuban Giants game
and the catastrophe that would have
followed can hardly be imagined.

Death Rate is Very Low.
The morbidity statistics for June in
dicate for this district a very sound
condition as to the public health.
There were four cases of typhoid fev
er, with one resultant death, rejwrted.
There were two cases of pneumonia,
, but not a single case of contagious
disease was reported.
Only fifteen deaths occurred in the
district last month. Of this number
six deaths occurred at the hospital for
the insane and one at the convent, leav
ing only eight as belonging to the dis
trict proper. The death rate was low
er than at any time since the law re
lating to vital statistics has been in
effect.
The deaths are always very prompt
ly reported to the local registrar; in
the matter of births there is always
delay incidental to naming the child,
etc., so that it is not until some time
during the month succeeding that the
full number of births to offset the
deaths becomes known. In May there
were thirty-one births as against seven
teen deaths. In the period covered by
the new law, between January 1, ltMHi,
and May 30th, following, there were
1 lit births as against 101 deaths for the
same period.
Twenty Year Battle.
"I was a loser in a twenty year battle
with chronic piles and malignant sores,

Concrete Walls Under Way.
The excavation for the heat, light
and power plant at the hospital for
the insane is now about completed and
work yesterday was begun on the
foundation walls of the structure. The
entire building will be constructed of
concrete and will be the first building
of that sort erected in Danville. The
wooden forms are built and the first
course of concrete is laid for a consid
erable distance along one side of the
building. In digging a foundation for
concrete walls t he depth varies accord
ing to the nature of the ground. Here
and there at the new building a hard
bottom was found at a slight depth,
while a few feet further on sand or
the like occurred, which made it neces
sary to dig to a greater depth. At the
hospital very little difficulty was ex
perienced in finding a solid bottom for
the heavy walls of concrete.
From this point on the building will
be pushed very rapidly. As many men
are employed as can work to an ad
vantage, but a larger number will be
employed as the work progresses.

CUBAN GIANTS 1
DANVILLE A. A. 0
The fans who remained away from
DeWitt's park Friday afternoon
missed a battle royal between the Dan
ville A. A. and their worthy oppon
ents the Cuban Giants. Hummer and
McCloud were in the points for the
locals and the balance of the team
worked behind McCloud with the reg
ularity of grandfather's clock, pulling
down the high ones and scooping up
tlie low ones in a way that made the
spectators sorry they had not paid fifty
cents instead of twenty-five to witness
so fine an exhibition.
Up to the ninth inning Hertz was
the only one man to reach the third
corner and the hits up to this point
were so few that it took a magnifying
glass to locate them 011 the score sheet.
Bradley and Abbott did the trick for
the Giants and did it to perfection.
The locals had only one strike out
while McCloud whiffed six of the vis
itors. The final score was 1 to 0 in
favor of the Giants, the winning run
being made in the ninth inning. The
six last games played with the Cubans
the total number of runs made by the
two teams was only It!. It is to be re
gretted that the attendance was so
small.
It is most lamentable that the at
tendance at Friday's game was not
larger. The small number of persons
present, the base ball management
states, is due to the fact that the grand
stand, which was blown over in a re
cent storm has not been replaced and
a great many of the fans being averse
to standing in the sun, were absent
from the game.
For this reason the base ball man
agement has cancelled all home games
and also declined an offer made Fri
| day to book the Cuban Giants for
J July 7th. The score :

VICTORIA FALLS

The Zand . i river, carrying a huge
volume of w iter two miles in width, as
it r. aelies the western borders of Rho
desia precipitates itself Into a cavern
ous g nge ami thus traverses the north
ern plains o!' the country.
This great drop in the river has pro
duced "the most beautiful gem of tlie
earth's scenery," the Victoria falls. Al
most twice ns broad as Niagara and
two and a half times as high, an im
mense mass of water rolls over Its edge
to precipitate itself in magnificent
splendor 4<*> sheer feet into the narrow
cany .>ll below.
I;: deterred. the lUiodesian engineers,
without detracting from the natural
beauty of the surroundings, threw
across the canyon a splendid <550 foot
eantalever bridge and thus opened the
way to Tanganyika, to Uganda, to
Cairo.
This bridge, the greatest railway eu
giuecriug triumph of Africa, deserves
more than passing notice. It consists
of a central span weighing approxi
mately 1.000 tons, •""" feet in length
and 30 feet wide. Tlie steel work is of
rolled steel weighing 400 pounds to tlie
cubic fit.it. The end posts of the bridge
are over 100 feet long. The pull 011 the
anchorage apj ..this i • about 100 tons.
The contract for the -'vucti >n was

weeks. The work of e< ' .1 \ " car

trical conveyor of this •>.ble way was
capable of dealing with a ten ton ! iad
at a lifting speed of twenty feet lier
minute and a traversing speed of.".<*)
feet a minute.
All initial difficulty in the construc
tion of the bridge was the securing
of a linn foundation, and owing to the
crumbling nature of the bank a much
greater quantity of concrete was neces
sary than estimated.
The construction was happily unat
tended by accidents of a serious nature,
though a few slight accidents to body
work and ti:e replacing from England
of one piece of steel work were record
ed. 111 spite of these delays the bridge
was linked up at 7 a. 111. 011 April 1,
