crowds of eager spectators lined the
curbs and clustered as near as possi
ble to the cadets, following each
movement of the drill with great ap

finest thing on the program of the
evening.
During the entire evening the or
chestra, under the leadership of Earl
Smith, entertained with selections. A
special circle of chairs was arranged
about the orchestra group, where at
times as many as one hundred peo

Miss Irene Krogh. Those who assist
ed at the candy booth were Misses
Isabel Robbins and Irene Warter.
Those who assisted at the soda booth
were Misses Marie Robbins and Miss
Evangellna Gunderson. The dispens
ing of th*> cake was carried on under
the direction of Misses Hazel Kipsey,
Margaret Anderson and Clara Dam

An Absolut· Vacuum,
What would seem to be an absolute
vacuum may be produced in an ex
tremely simple milliner. There ta em
ployed η test tube (a tube of glass clos
ed at one end), which In this particular
case must be conijiosed of a kind of
glass that melts only at a very higb
temperature. Into the tube Is poured
molten glass of another kind -wblcb
melts at a comparatively low tempera
ture. When the latter bas cooled, thus
forming a soi'd yiass completely filling
the tube, a suction pump Is attached to
the open end of the tube, and heat Is
then applied antll the softer glass In
side Is again melted. The neit step ta
to withdraw the molten glass by means
of the pump, enough being left to close
the end of the tube completely, when it
is allowed to cool once more. As no
air can enter the space left vacant by
the withdrawal of the molten mass, a
perfect vacuum, it Is believed, Is pro
duced thero.— St Louis Republic.

ALBANY STREET BRIDGE
TEST IS GREAT SUCCESS
I
iïïiiÎÏ■___
H'j'.y New Work on Albany Street Bridge Was Tested.
Special to the EVENING NtiWB,
New Brunswick, June 27:—-The
reconstructed west walk of the
Albany street bridge here was thrown
Dpen to pedestrians today after suc
cessfully passing probably the sever
est test ever put upon a similar
structure, which showed that it could
stand over three times the strain that
could ever possibly be given it by
pedestrians. Contractor Abraham
Jelin, who is naturally highly elated
over this showing, said today that
the east walk would be closed at
once and the reconstruction work
there started. Unless there are un·
Torseen delays, as was the case with
the work just completed, the entire
job will be finished in about six
weeks.
The walks were formerly five feet
wide, which has long been inade
quate, owing to the increased foot
traffic across the Raritan river be
tween New Brunswick and Highland
Park. Ttfe Board of Freeholders
has been studying the problem for
two or three years, and at one time
it seemed as though the bridge spans
would have to be widened to carry
the extended walks. That would
have meant pretty nearly the cost of
a new bridge. Then the feasibility
of an overhang was discussed, and
after consulting with some of the
best bridge engineers of the country,
It was decided to adopt this plan.
Under the specifications drawn up,
the old brick arches of the bridge
were covered with eighteen inches of
concrete in which an iron anchorage
was imbedded to support the eide
walks of reinforced concrete. The
work was to some extent experiment
al, for no job under exactly the same
conditions had ever been attempted
elsewhere. But relying upon the
best advice possible to secure the
freeholders felt safe to go ahead.
Contractor Jelin started at work on
April 1.
Soon afterward rumors began to
crop up around New Brunswick that
the walks would be unsafe, and a
spirit of uneasiness was created that
caused the Board of Trade to take
action, with the result that work was
practically stopped while Inspections
were made by various engineers, one
of whom was willing to condemn the
job. This "expert," it developed !
later, had based his opinion on the1
assumption that the whole job was to |
be of structural steel, and when he j
found it was to be of reinforced con- ι
Crete, quickly backed down.
But to settle all doubts on the sub
ject the freeholders last Saturday
gave the work a test which would be ;
convincing. This was done in the
presence of Professors A. A. Tits
worth and Stuart Stevenson, of the
engineering faculty of Rutgers Col
lege; County Engineer Alvin Fox;
Ο. E. Hovey, chief consulting engi
neer of the American Bridge Com
pany; City Engineer Asher Atkinson,
of New Brunswick, and several ι
others.
