v. it U its connections ami terminals, "thu
most stupendous engineering w (irk yet j
undertaken, surpassing iu that resjiect I
and also iu final eost the Panama Ca
nal,' according to Representative Ernest
Ackerinan, of New Jersey. The plans
call for a single span of .l.imo feet, with
out a single der in the river, huug on
lour immense cables suspended from
terminal towers 6s..1 feet high, or 130
feet higher than the famed Washington
Monument iu this city.
Tbe bridge will contain 4,")0,UU0 toils of

nage of steel in nil the existing bridges
spanning' the Ohio, .Missouri and Missis

E. K. House, Ferris, Tex., physician,

theory that while under the influence of

I facts regarding crimes of which they are
I licensed.
In addressing the convention hero of
the Medical Association of tlie South

use every effort to secure permission to
'make experiments on 1,000 prisoners,
j taking the stand that this number of
exerimefits will prove his theory to tho
i satisfaction of both physicians and

The medical association failed to give
it s official endorsement to Dr. House's
'plan, but the subject was widely ilis
j cussed in mi informal man tier, and much'
j in t (-rest was exjiresssed in the eontinu.i
