Only one kind of -bridge Ita up to this time been conspicuously absent from the North American " continent. " That , Is - the bridge beautiful. . i - . Not absolutely, perhaps, ' Is 1 Ameri can' bridge-building to be condemned on Teat belie grounds, for, although a majority of the structures spanning rivers and estuaries In this country have been built wKh regard to utili tarian considerations, some few are artlstle enough to compare favorably, IX - not with the beat examples of ancient "workmanship, at least with tne . severe but . generally well pro portioned .. creations with which French, . German and Italian engin eers are all the while spanning their fivers. A German commissioner, ap pointed some is years ago by - his government to look into the railroad system of the United States reported among other things: "In- America puniio vWorKs.are . executed -without reference to art." Tet tha nineteenth century witnessed the erection In this country ot so noble a structure as the arched High Bridge which, carries Oroton water Into New Tork city; the massivo ana not uninteresting cabin John's . bridge near Washington, famed until very recently as being the largest single arch bridge In the world; the Eads Bridge across -the Mississippi at St Louis, representing a striking and generally pleasing combination - of masonry and tron- work, and many minor structures of distinct artistic merit Even an all Iron ' bridge In tbe hands of some engineers who are willing to look at their work as an architectural propo sition, hss Droved to have an attract iveness of Its own. though beauty of tha highest type It can never possess. Among the older bridges of the coun try, those especially Involving stone work of the colonial and revolution ary period, there are many that are truly notable in appearance. The spirit of esthetic improvement I on us at last and ths opportunity that a structure' thrown across body of water .offers for plctureeque and decorative ' effect has become recognised by practically all archi tects and by the intelligent public. In the plans for the beautlficatlon of waahington, for example, a special feature Is a great bridge with heavy towers above the central drawbridge, Again, the community - of the greater Boston, which heretofore. though supplied with a multitude of mailer bridge of more or less ar chitectural merit, hss had no large bridge comparable In popular esti mation with . some of the big spans or other American cities such aa the two great suspension bridges over New York's East river haa now vary nearly completed one of mssonry and steel, which will be of distinctly monumental character, making an Important part of the landscape of tna Back Bay -and giving impressive nesa to the former rather mean and squalid approach to Harvard Uni versity. This work has lately been hailed by m writer In the Century Magasins as unquestionably the most artistic American brldgs yet designed. It will be ons of . the most conspicu ous features of the ornamental basin, which, on a larger seals than Ham burg's celebrated Alster Basin. 1 being created out 'of the' salt water estuary where tha Charlea river broaden before flowing Into the ocean. It haa also sentimental sig nificance, for . It take the place of tha ugly. Insignificant pile .bridge which . Longfellow Immortalised by standing on It at midnight, and which. If ha followed the dictates of his artlstlo testes, he probably ran away from by daylight. . in ths building of tn new bridge a distinct effort waa made to secure beauty of line and mas and to avoid tha mistake which was committed when the low, stringy and unlmpos Ing - Harvard bridge .. was thrown across the Back Bay about a mile to the south.. Given a wide stretch of watsr with, on the ons side, a hill covered with high - buildings and on tha other , an esplanade soon to be lined with apartment houses or pee sibly with educstlonai" lnstttutons, the brldgs must be massive .to create any positive Impression at all, and a certain . swelling Dimes or effect (a what City Engineer Jackson,,: of Boston, and Mr. Edmund M. Wheel wright, . former . city architect, : who drew ; the . plana evidently had .In mind. .Tha bridge te composed of 11 spans of steel arches, with-graceful curves between is piers or granite, the : spans varying In length , from 101 to 111 ' feet The .two centre pieces, as Is the custom with most of tha ornamental bridges of the world, are by far the heaviest' When com plete, they 'will carry four granite columns) around tha top ot each, of which win appear a cluster of electrio lights. On the front, ot the two centre piers Is a maaalve granite carving representing In tha one case the seal of the city of . Boston car. rled over the prow of a galley, with dolphin heads and other accessories, and In the other case the correspond ing seal of the city of Cambridge.'. It is cnarauierisuu ui ino new at titude- of many publle service cor porations toward aesthetic considera tions tntt the architectural quality of this bridge, which within S few months will bs opened to the public, has been . made - possible'., largely through the public spirit and liber ality - ef Boston's - street' car system, the Boston Elevated Railway Com-1 pany. Tna "" contributions of -v tat Elevated Company, which will make use of a portion ot the bridge as offering a direct line of rapid transit to Harvard Square, 'enabled the erection of a structure Involving the xnendlture of two and a half mil lion dollars, s. verjr considerable sum in. the building of a bridge, ana ons that would have been ' beyond the means, of the suburban city of Cam bridge. If the expense had simply been shared with the -city of Boston. According ' to the bill which r- ap portioned the expenses It was pro vided that the Boston Elevated ue.ll way "shall , pay toward the - con' structlon of said .bridge . such pro portion thereof as shall be rendered necessary by reason of Us being ot additional else ana strengtn lor tne use , of the : elevated road." This quota . has made possible an attempt to produce something as .line as any modern European bridge. Of the four car tracks occupying the middle of the structure two wtU be given over to trains on 'the new rapid transit line that Is to be begun between Boston and Cambridge soon after the completion of the bridge. These will' be on grade across ths bridge, being enclosed from the trol ley car tracks by an Iron fence. The middle section where the "L." tracks run will bean open trestle, which Is much more satisfactory in a climate subject to snow and Ice. From the Boston -side the trains will corns out of a subway skirting the northern side of historic Beacon run, and on reaching Cambridge they will either again descend into, a subway or con tinus at the eievatea level en route to the shaded precinct of Harvard university. Exceptional though the new West Boston bridge will oe in America. Europe is filled with bridges which combine a i high degree of artistic quality With perfect usefulness. Not that the continental countries are altogether " lacking "in examples of ugliness and incongruousness. per haps one of the most notable cases Is that of the. oldest of all existing stone bridges,- the Ponte Rotto, In Rome, anciently known as the Pons Aemlllus. begun In v 17 B. C. and Completed In about forty years. Half of thla bridge was carried away by a flood In 1617. It was at that time rebuilt from blocks of stone from the Coliseum, but the mediaeval builder were loss skillful, and for a second time part of tha-bridge waa swept away. It remained ' for many years with one end hanging In the air, much like the ancient bridge over the Tiber Just before Horatlus quit hold Ing it . against all comers. - To-day, however, an Iron truss completes the span, thus combining the solid beau ty of the ancient Roman architecture with the limit of modern ugliness. For thee most part, however. Euro pean bridges of this generation have been designed with some reference to their surroundings and fro seldom conspicuously unattractive. ' Across the Seine at Paris are IS Important bridge, hardly any of which la less imposing than the best yet completed in America. These Include tha most celebrated ef all, the Pont Notre Dame, erected In 1S0O, and the latest of all to be built, the Exposition bridge, of 1100, the artlstlo charac teristics of which-were a -source of Inspiration to thousands of visitors at ths lsst great Paris Exposition Many Americans st that time per celved the possibility of good brldse building In accordsnce with modern methods. Ths new West Boston bridge will be a pioneer In giving expression to mat perception. SWISS VILLAGERS FATALISTS. Watch Mountain Which Hay De stroy in om ttome nay. "I hava tuat eatttrnaA tha m .

New York. May H. On of th most remarkable women In New Tork to-day Is conceded to be Commander Miss Evangeline Booth, the leader ot the ' Salvation Army forces In this country. Tns good that this devoted womsa has dope can never be esti mated, i Commander Booth la the fourth daughter of the Rev.-William Booth, the general of the Salvation Army.. She was born on a Christmas dsy and seven years later became converted to tha faith of her father. Her budding talents immediately were given to the work which had attracted her father from the estab lished lines of -the pastorate to the undollmltated scope of the -world, evangelist, and she has fought faith fully and wrought well in the years wnicn .nave intervened since tha day of her conversion. As a school girl. he did not deem the dawn of culture. refinement and genius of the unmis takable type incompatible with the humble vocation of those who preach the Oospel to the poor. She early served an . apprenticeship which In eluded war cry selling on ths streets of London, visiting the fatherless, the widow, tha sick and the dying and generally carrying cheer into lives which had been darkened by sin and circumstances. Her first public speech was made from a broken-b&cked chair in an open-air meeting tn ono of the . darkest slums of London. Everywhere her sweetness of disposi tion and ooursgs made her successful, endearing her to the hearts of thous ands with whom she came In contact While yet in her teens Miss Eva played an Important part tn the edu cation of officer in the Army, assist ing her sister, tha- late Consul Booth Tucker, then Miss Emma Booth, in ths oversight of the first training home of the organisation at Clapton, Miss Booth has held every rank in the Army from Sergeant to Commander. Her first appointment was to a large Corps which was beset by opposition of a sort that threatened not only to end the existence of the Salvation Army In that section but also to wind up ths lives of Its Inhabitants. The hall, which seated 1,900 persons, was surrounded by a dense population, comprising probably tha lowest and most 'picked persons In the city of London. Every other house in the street In wblch the officers lived was a dsn of Infamy. Into this noisome atmosphere waa projected the charm ing, sweet, womanly personality of Captain Booth. Her first announcement waa that she meant to be her own policeman, and what the law could not do, to apply scriptural worda to the situa tion, the fair, frail girl accomplished. Her prayers were heard by their death-beds, her songs were sung over their sick, her. brave feet tripped up to the highest attic of those rlcketty tenements and down into the lowest and darkest cellars where poverty and crime lay hidden. Within a few weeks a revolution bad been wrought in the neighborhood. "Th Oang" waa thoroughly aubdued and moat wonderful of all, when the devoted little Captain tell dangerously 111, one of the leader of the "Skeleton Army." a the rough called them selves, pawned hi vest to buy hot house grapes for her. Wearing tne garb of a flower girl and again as a watercress seller, the Intrepid girl, -who thus subordinated every means to the salvation of those for whom she nad given her life, found her way Into the poorest haunts with messsges of msrey and stood by the side of the guilty and unfortu nate In the police court and prison cell In every whit a Portia of the Cross. It wss small wondsr thst those for whom she lived and worked gave her the unofficial title of "The Angel of the Blums." The Commander's presence upon many a Held of Salvation Army bat tle hss wrought Blucher-Uke wonders.- Wherever persecution or difficulties have appeared, she was volunteered to nil the gap. In the riots of Torquay, Whltechttrrh. Kaathourna and Rvila she figured as a veritable Joan d Arc. Maintaining the Army's right to con duct open-air meetings In those places organisation through yelling and Of ten bloodthirsty mob and on more than one occasion a reward of fifty pounda was offered to the men who would knock her down and capture her bonnet. Finally ahe took the mat ter to the Houss of Parliament Inter viewing personally ths members of both brsnrbes of that body and fin ally won the repeal of the ordinance which forbade the Army's open-air work. Since participating In those scene. Miss Booth hss occupied several nosl- tions of world Importance. After be ing Great Britain's field commission er, was In command of the Interna tional London Province of the organ Ixatlon and principal of the Army's Training noma, in wnicn dual office she had 11.000 Salvation Soldiers. 000 officers and about 100 cadets under hor control. She wss then ordered to the Command of Canada, where for eight years she served with great suc cess, building up the work and es- peclelly emphsslslng the social and other reformatory methods which have made the Army one of the great est of human Instruments for ths up lifting of ths fallen and the reclama tion of the outcast. The reception end csre of the refugees during the Ar menian atrocltlea engaged her atten tion and sympathy, and shs also In augurated a system of Salvation Army day schools throughout Nsw Found- land. During the rush for the Tukon- Oold fields, Miss Booth was found In ths vsngusrd of the pelf-seeklng hordes, a chaplain in skirts svsr ready to minister to all who stood In need of her kindly offices. Tbe Inception and growth of prison work ever will remain as a monument to the - dil igence and love of Miss Booth. Throughout Canada the name of this peerless woman leader ia a household word. ,-' ' '' Spirituality her art heartfulness her blrth-glft, womanly sympathy her llte-ngnt, grscs ner guerdon, miss Booth is perhaps one of the best equipped of women leaders the world ever has seen. Her silvery tongue haa earned her a fame that nils to overflowing every halt In which ahe is advertised to deliver an address. She hss always found time to write many hymns, perhaps the beat-known of her productions being the eong with thla refrain i t r , , ,. Th wounds of Christ are open ' Sinner, they were made for thee; The wounds of Christ ara open, .- Thsr for refuge nee. Miss Booth Is an expert musician. playing tba pis no, harp, guitar and other Instruments. . " Tha Commander took charge of the work fa this country over a year ago and already a number ot marked ad vances hsve been made in the welfare nf thaaa "naoulLar ttanflla." liar aniu cess in handling her efflce Is not re margable when one considers that she la possessed of executive ability of a high order, combining approachable- ness, sympathy. Intuition, enthusiasm. experience end affability In measures which cannot but make fot tha great est possible mesa or. success. . While Miss Booth is known to the world only at a devoted, gifted leader and speaker, those who are privileged to : pass the threshold of mere ' ac quaintance jito the Inner sanctuary of her , heart and thus to teste ths Joy of friendship, find her to be, first of all, a vivacious, heathy-minded, en ergetic young woman to whom - ap. peals every Interest which finds lodg ment in the hearts and brains of her contemporaries. . . Asked what ; was Miss Booth's strongest trait one who has known her Intimately for several years re plied, "Humor," Her ability to 'see the funny side, haa tided her , over a perplexing situation. One who never has heard Miss Booth laugh has miss ed a rare treat; One of the world's great men who had met the Com mander said he believed he could look unmoved upon the tears Of Nlobe, but that he was not sure, that he would be proof against tne smile of Miss Booth, - - Despite her self-sacrifice of princi ple and life. Miss Booth is no ascetic. Sho Is a great lover . of nature and her delight if to get out Into the country where she can feel.-, the breoses blowing . upon her brow and chase chipmunks and squirrels in the woods. Her fancy is still school girl ish, although she Is a leader of men. She Is a born athelete and Is equally at home -on land or water. Miss Booth Is an expert swimmer and an excellent diver. Getting - Into- water feet, first she unqulvocally call "ta io." She Is a lover of animals, omeono has said of her eloquence In the matter of horse-flesh: "Tod Sloan isn't In it with her for telling the beauties of a horse." While .riding. she can take a hurdle as easily as she can preach a sermon. Miss Booth Is cultured to a degree - that makes ono wonder how she can really un derstand the life of those who com- priso the under world which Is reached by the organisation of which she is the American head. She ia a linguist of ao small ability and also possesses many other accomplish ments which mark her ss a great woman. Thero are many sides to her remarkable nature. Someone once told Miss Booth that her disposition must have been made up on the com posite photograph plan. With her usual good nature, she replied! - "I think I'm more like an old patch work quilt." JEWS LEARXING TO FARM. Progress jj, gpi 0 Blunders Shown in HcrkHlure. Bsndlsfleld (Mass.) Lotter tn New Tork - 4 rinuiitj . This little town. In an nut.nf-tha.wav corner of the Berkshlres.

It is hoped thst It will relieve somewhat the congested East Side of New York, and that It ia only a fore runner of other Jewish colonies, situated within easy distance of that city. The Industry, thrift and energy displayed by these colonising Jewa Is enormous, while the Ignorance of farming matters and farming tools Is the most ludicrous. As tney are fast learning, they are making ineir cropa pay. Tney are turning aban- uunra tarms into prosperous lands, and they have no desire to return to New York. It was about two years ago that New i or jews nnt begun buying the aban doned farms In this Place, and slnoe then owners of broken-down farms have boosted prices up considerably. It la not an Ideal farming country, aa the farmera no nave uvea nere ror two yearn can tr.nry, out tns Jews are wresting a living from the ground by their sheer In- uumry ana tire i ens patience. The mow ing machine has been a fearful and mys teiious thing in the ayes of the colonis ing Jews. They could not master Its In trlcacles, and still they were loath to part with the 13 a day demanded by the men who -knew how to run It. The grass waa growing fast, but it wss a sorry matter to give up S3 a day Juat for cutting grass. Finally wiser heads counseled paying the money, but the jewa will leern themselves oefore an other summer Just how to manage the cutting machine. Berkshire haa a reputation for eold winters, so one ot the new comers, Reu ben Rubensol decided to prepare for It. He banked his house two stories high, and then, to let In light he out holes In the banking opposite tha windows. He. with his family, lives on the first floor, while the poultry I kept high end dry In the second story. One of the Jews sold a cow to a neighbor living at a distance and promised to deliver It But the row objected seriously to chang ing her home, so the Jew harneaaed her alongside a horse and hitched them to a wagon and drove thla odd team several miles to the neighbor's.. One farmer, who cuts his own les, heard lsst full of an Ice plough which lessened tbe work. Ac cordingly he got out the plough with wnicn ne turns up turrows in tne eartn, end tried It on Ice. He wo much sad dened and chagrined when it refused tn cut. The experience ef the colonists with horses sre many, for some of the Jews had nevex driven until they came to Randlktleld. Again and again, whan a party of Jews ha been out for a ride and la ready for the return home, the entire party hit plied out of the waa-on, and while one haa held the - animal's head, the rest have turned tha waa-on toward home, the man at the horse's head meanwhile steering the animal around. One Jew who had heard of a double harness supposed that such a con trivsnce meant making work easier for the horse, so be purchased a double harness, out It all on his one horse. snd drove into Qreat Bsrrlngton. where he attracted a large orowa. A Daisy horse with which ene Jew got stuck waa a matter of astonishment to him until he conceived the Idea thai the horse would not go because something about the harneaa Interfered with It hind leas. So he removed every part of the harneaa that touched It hind quarter, and then wa much dismayed that it still reiusea to move. .
