This ia a typical example of soore than one of Janaa's
so-called sacred bridges in which the native engineer
has saade akilful use of the proverbial strength tf the
aesai-circBlar arch. For ceataries these Oriental
buBdcrs have been rearing bridges of various suns acd
ia tab have shown their knowledge cf the underlying
principles that have made later structures of steel pos
sible. The Japanese used a native wood of high work
iag strength and employed for their covering and balus
trades aa eaduriag species of cypress.

Tower Bridge. London, pictured below, was built
ialSIS at a cost of nearly $41,000,000. The traffic upon
the Thames aad the gradicat of the BaaUag shores
made a suspension bridge with long approaches unsuit
able. The problem was to give ample headroom for
river traffic aad yet an easy highway for vehicles and
pedestrians. The Tower Bridge is a splendid example
of a mam suspension bridge combined with a subordi
nate bascule the latter permitting the passage of ships
when raised.

A lifting bridge at the east end of the Barrage
Bridge across the Nile, at Cairo. Fgypi. For centuries
this great tideway swept seaward unobstructedly over
flowing the adjacent lands with its beneficent floods at
seasons, only to leave them waterless at others. The
great modern irrigation projects of Egypt have changed
this to a great extent, and the waters are held in check
by barrages which combine ia their twofold purpose cf
bridge and dam. The bridge shown is over one of the
navigational lochs.

Below we have a picture of one of the three rope
bridges that cross the Jhelara River on the route to
Cashmere. This river has its source in the Mustagh
Range and sweeps ocesnward impetuously. Neverthe
less, the natives have sidestepped the dangers of boat
traffic by their ingenious suspension bridges cunningly
fashioned of rope and the sturdy forking branches of
native trees. Frail as it looks, stili it is capable of sus
taining a great deal of weight. Its passage is some,
thiag for the sober only.
