The aban doned farm etory ba* been familiar foi year* to reader* of New England pa pern, but tha Globe’s description abowi the tragical aid# of the itruggt* for ex istence that la going on In many a New England State. In Maine many of the farms are now practically worthiest and never were valuable except foi the timber that once grew upon them. But the lumber industry of the Pin* Tree State la rapidly paaaing away, tha farm* have been exhausted, and their owner* In many caaee old and poor, are rapidly drifting to the poorhoute. In some of the “ town*” the policy oi taking over farm* In return for a guarantee to keep perhaps a man pod hi* wife In board and clothe* the re mainder of their daye haa been fol lowed, but even thla lnxepenslve way of acquiring land is too coatly for tha town*, and It la being discontinued. These abandoned farm* are then con verted Into plantations, and tbe towna unable to support the farm owners send them back to the farm* to make a living for themselves free from taxa tion. Even thla I* frequently hard to do, so utterly woru out 1* tbe toll. T h e y W e r e A H S o r r y . The moat prominent “class In spell ing'’ In the United States le the Board of Geographic Names. It consist* ot ten experts, selected from the various departments and scientific bureau* In Warblngton, who meet monthly for the purpose of deciding bow disputed geographic names should be spelled. Their decision Is adopted by the gov ernment for all It* publications, by tbe text-book writers also; and the news paper editors usually accept their con clusions. Upon the organisation of thla board In 1800, It adopted certain general principles. These are some time* carried out by poatofflce clerk* so mechanically aa. to bring upon the board criticism It does not deserve. For example, the board decided that wherever It could be Judiciously done, names of two words, such as Middle Branch, should be written aa one word — Mlddlebranch. This rule, which waa wise when UBed with good Judgment, became absurd when, In Interpreting It, a postal officer decided that Weet Palm Beach should be spelled West- palmbeach. A compromise has been made, and West I’almheach adopted Instead. Other decisions of the board are that the final “ h\ In auch a word as Pittsburgh should be dropped. Also the “ ugh” In auch a word as Marlbor ough, and the possessive form wher ever practicable. The theory of the Loard la to secure uniformity and sim plicity, not to reform the language.

The 785 foot bridge over tbe Wabash at Ollnton, Ind., was wracked In Au gust by a lloosler, who employed the heatlug power ot an electric current to do the work, without Injury to the sub structure. This exceedingly Interest ing feat la described tin the Western Electrician. It appears that the bridge wss, up to that time, the only toll bridge In the 8tate, and was owned by one man. It had become antiquated, and tbe county authorities purchased It with the Idea of erecting a steel bridge In It* place, using the earns piers and approaches. Under tbe terms of tbe contract, the owner of the bridge was to remove the superstructure Inside of thirty days, without Injuring In any way the sus taining piers and masonry. This was apparently a very easy task, but, after consultation with bridge builders, house wrecker* rlggem, engineers, and, In fact, every one who bad a plan to suggest, the only practical plan evolved was to build a false work and take the bridge down piecemeal. To blow the bridge up with dynamite wonld prob ably Injure the piers, and to born It would likewise crack and Injure the masonry. The thirty 4#y* elapsed, and no plan had been decided upon. An ex tension of the time tyr one week waa granted. At this potat a young elec trician living In Clinton came to tbs fore with a scheme tef llterany ent the bridge down with btfi electric wire* and thla unique plan <wae finally sne- eenafnlly carried out With the greatest satisfaction, the operation requiring bat tea hoar* The bridge, which wa* built In 1858, consisted of three span* with a 70-toot draw, and, as thready mentioned, wa* 78S feet long. Each of these span* was composed of nine chord* each consist ing of three nine-inch by nine-inch yel low poplar timber* It to perfectly evi dent, therefore, that If each of theee timber* was cut thrmqgh riunltaneoaa- wlth each span without a hitch or de lay ot any kind. An examination after the full of the bridge showed how thoroughly the cur rent had done Its work. Each timber was burned through to the same extent, namely, live Inches deep on the top and three Inches on the side* the cut being comparatively clean, the wood not be ing charred moreethan an Inch on each aide of the po ut of coniact with tha hot wire.
