WONDERS OF AMERICA By T.T. MAXEY ©. Weatern Newspaper Union. THE GREATEST BRIDGE TO DIXIE THIS masterpiece of engineering, which spans the Ohio river between Metropolis, Illinois. ami I‘uducah. Kentucky, is a link in a lowgrade rail line from Ihiget sound to Florida. It is the largest bridge connecting the states bordering on the Ohio and one of the noted bridges of the world. You can gain some idea of the sige of this mastodonic affair, when yon understand that 33.678,826 pounds of steel. 93.382 cubic yards of concrete. 5,707.000 feet, board measure, of lumber, 2.063.000 pounds of corrugated bars and 148,635 barrels of cement were used in Its construction. The approach to the south end contains 856,000 cubic yards of earth. It contains the longest simple span In existence —720 feet. The bridge proper is one mile and 500 feet long. It is supported by seven piers. the largest of which Is 60 by 110 feet at the bottom and 185 feet high—larger than the average skyscraper. The total height of the bridge from the bottom of the pier to die top of the steel is 312 feet. Some of the steel beams were so long that three forty-foot flat cars were necessary to successfully transport them from the place of manufacture to the point of duty. The bridge cost s3.loo.ooo—before the days of the high cost of living.

WONDERS OF AMERICA By T.T MAXET ©, Western Newspaper Union. THE FATHER OF WATERS COUNTING the longest branch as a part of it. the Mississippi is the longest river in the world. Hernando de Soto lake and not Lake Itasca, as commonly supposed, is now considered by some authorities as its place of beginning. There is a difference of 1.470 feet between the elevations of its mouth and of its head and during its journey from .Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico the temperature detrending upon the season, sometimes varies as much as 150 degrees. Its waters wash the soils of ten states. In the vicinity of Red river. Louisiana, the volume of Its flow is estimated to exceed 12.000.0b0 gallons per second. The Wisconsin. Des Moines. Illinois, Missouri. Ohio. White, Arkansas and Red river systems, as well as a large number of “lesser lights" with their myriads of tributaries, flow into it. These rivers carry drainage from 28 of the 48 states. This tremendous watershed has an area of 1.240,000 square miles or 41% of the entire United States. The Mississippi is navigable for almost its entire length or from St. Paul to the Gulf. Large numbers of passengers are transported between local points and tremendous quantities of freight—principally grain, cotton, live stock, coal, lumber, logs, provisions, stone, gravel and sand are carried upon its surface. The river freight at the port of New Orleans, during a recent year, approximated 1.000.000,000 ton*.

THE GIBRALTAR OF THE HUDSON vi TEST POINT, atop the commandVV ing heights which line the west bank of the historic Hudson river, in the picturesque and so-called "highlands" country and some fifty miles north of New York city, is often referred to as the "Gibraltar of the Hudson.” Here, in a magnificent site of some 3.500 acres, is set down the United States Military academy—our national institution for the training of cadets for commissions in the army. A resolution of the Congress of 1776 provided for the preparation of a plan for "A Military Academy of the Army.” General George Washington personally interested himself in the movement. The original buildings were burned in 1796, but were rebuilt and the actual creation of tlte academy as known

today took place in 1902, At various times after 1775 this strategic location was fortified and at the close of the Revolutionary war West Point was selected as a depot for the storage of military property. The majority of the commanding generals on both sides of the Civil war were graduates of this academy. This fact brought the importance of the institution so prominently before the world that its methods were carefully studied by experts of practically every nation of prominence in the whole world. The course of Instruction covers three years and constitutes the most • complete military training In existence. I a*.■ ■»- ■*- Bi.-w".aHH

To Change Seal (Continued from page one) studio today two rare Chinese gilt dogts of the pre-Ming period formerly in the White collection. Echoes of Mr. Curtis* career ; abroad, where he lived in Barbizon and Paris, have reached his friends here from time to time. They learned. for example, of his having been a ■ first medalist of the Salon of the Seine and Marne and of having occupied the chair of professor of art at the Lycee d’Aulnay. Works of his are in such world-famous collections as the Rothschilds, Hermann. Alexander de Llagino. Prince of Rumania, Meyer de Pompery and Camando. to mention only a few of those abroad. His work was admitted to the Champ de Mars salon and he was given an individual exhibition at the Galeries : Vollard in Paris, where his large composition. "The Rose Garden." was purchased by Baron de Roths- ; child.

Among the many American collections In which Mr. Curtis Is represented are those of George Miicqueth. Frederick A. Guild. Harry A Rodgers and J. Seaver Page. The late William B. Astor had virtually all hls blooded i horses immortalized on canvas by I Mr. Curtis, who was u frequent guest at the Astoj estates at Rhinecliff, where he was able "to study the thoroughbreds under varyifig conditions. Both here and abroad Mr. Curtis has been noted, however, for his vercntility. As the mood beckoned ho turned from landscape to figures and particularly to portraits. Among those who sat to him for portraits in the New York of three decades ago were Mrs. Van Doren. owner of th*. Holland House. Mrs David Thumpson. Miss Helen Page and the daughters of General Ripley. His portraits of a later period include those of Dr. Parker Sytns and Mr. and Mrs. J. Edgar Bull. Mr. Curtis is engaged in his new studio on several portraits of New Yorkers of the generation which has come into its inheritance since last hi was here.
