The sptt steel girders proved t'i be 22 percent, and hard-steel eirdcis 6S per cent", stronger than lbs iron girders; and it is remarked that it seemed pretty well established that the strength of steel girders is aboct the same for the two flangcslf made alike in section.' Washington Star: lhe iUuse is not inclined to simply write "approved" on the Senale'a succession bill and'send it over to tha White House for final action.
