There was little demand for roads, bridge'
and still leo for equeduets. Vet the

their smaller, radius of elevation at the
crown inetead of at the haunches. The
famous Ponta Vecebio at Florence and
the original Augustus bridge at Dresden
date from the twelfth century,. The ague

Barcelona, Spain, with its aliparently

the load did not endanger the structure,
The, springings of this arch Are certainly
of antique origin, Roman. or Carth.agizt-
ian; an inscription of the year. 1709, when
the bridge was restored, ascribes the
foundation to Hannibal. The span of the
stone arch over the Adda, near Trezzo,

Milan in 1370 tit 1877, destroyed again in

bridges, •
The first cast iron bridge, really corn-
pleted in 1779, however, and etill stand-

well known Coalbrooktiale bridge over the

SENTIMENT AS TO OLD SIGNS.
Weather Worn Boards Retained in
Spite of Changes In Firm Nantes.
People who think that there is no senti-
ment in commercial life need only wander
about any of the old business centers of
New York to have their beliefs changed.
They will ne old signs, some of them in a
state of decay almost borderieg disk:-
.
Intim, on the walls of the houses of -the
older firms.
In some instances these signs remain
even though the name of the firm has
been changed. In cases in which sons
have succeeded to the business many of
the old signs of the firm which establish-
ed the business are still to be seen: Alany
are weather worn and the lettering is al-
most indistinct but the present Brio do
not permit them to be..ratoncited......,_
Occasionally the boards split and the.
edges break. These ravages are repaired
for safety's sake, but the dim outlines of
the lettering remain.
A sign writer who had been called to
repair one of these ancient landmarka in
Greenwich street asked the head of the
firm, who represents the third generation
In tbe concern, if he should not regild the
letters.
"CertainlY not," was the answer. "If
consented to icier doing that. I should ex-
pect the business of this firm to fail."
In some eased in which new names have
succeeded to the business old Mena have
been removed from the outer walls and
placed inside. In an office in a Broadway
' tore there is an old wooden sign ettepend-
ed over the desk of the grandson of the

When he had gathered himself togeth-
