THE NATURAL BRIDGES OF UTAH Ft ORTY-FIVE miles north of Bluff, In Southwestern Utah, within a space of about five miles, are three! natural bridges which are understood to be the largest of their kind in existence. Named Sipapu (Gate of Heaven), Kachlma (Guardian Spirit) and owuchouiu (Hock Mound), these bridges were discovered in 1895. The three constitute a National monument, being so proclaimed by Presidential announcement in 11*08. The largest of the three has an extreme height of 222 feet and is 6,> feet thick at the top of the arch, which is 28 feet wide. It has a span of 2(11 feet, the height of the span being 15” feet. One has but to tlx. those figures in his mind to gain a fair idea of the immensity of these wonders which Nature fashioned from the lofty walls of While canyon. Near the monument are some caves and ruins which are believed to have been the homes of a prhistoric race which inhabited this section. These bridges are best reached by stage or team from the railroad station at Thompson, Utah, to Monticello, thence by pack-horse—a journey through a strange, deserted-looking, but interesting land. , - * — »-*■ — ■* *• WONDERS OF AMERICA By T.T MAXEY ©, Western Newspaper Union. OUR LARGEST MUNICIPAL PIER CHICAGO’S municipal pier, one of the largest and most useful public structures, is likewise one of tlie stupendous engineering feats of the times. It not only provides 8,500 feet of dockage space and more than 450,000 square feet of freight storage space, but is also a magnet of enormous proportions for recreational purposes. This great structure juts out into Lake Michigan for 3,000 feet and is 202 feet wide. In its construction there were used 20,000 piling, 1,500,000 cubic yards of sand and clay and 50.000 cubic feet of re-inforced concrete; 80 cars of steel sash and doors and 80,000 window panes. Although sub-divided into a headhouse (the shore end), a freight-and-passenger section, a terminal building and a recreational section, it is all under one roof. Street cars ascend an incline to the second floor and run out to the terminal building. Foot traffic is accommodated by 16-foot-wide board walks, 2,340 feet long, reaching out to the recreation end of the building. In addition to spacious waiting and rest rooms, there is a hospital, restaurant, art room, auditorium —used for dancing, concerts and banquets,—aud a roof garden.
