THE RESIDENTIAL STREETS IN CHENTII.
When ooaasionally you do dieoover a
semi residential street it is to find what
we would aoneider at home s blind alley
of possibly eight feet width. This may
have a single file of flagstones end to end
up the senors, bob more frequently is
macadamized (minus the Scotch prefix)
end is strained into a delioiousiy sloppy
slime by squirting between the thousands
of bootless toes during the long rainy
season. Ou either side you have open
ditches full of festering filth. Aorosa
this is a grey brink wall from
fifteen to twenty-five feet, exolnding both
pilfering and public gaze.
Even the
gates, with their glaring, grinning genie,
are further prbteobed by walls frescoed
with dozen tailed dragons to ward cff
men and monsters. Oe the other aide is
possibly a mad wall, wbioh, broken down
in emote by frequent rains, gives yon a
glimpse of some luxuriant, well tended
vegetable garden until a whiff of wind
ants your oarioeity short.
A 005000055 STREET.
The bneineee streets have at least molt
more of variety, Here the eingle row of

To describe the varieties of these would
be eodleee. There are tea shops where,
as you pass, scores of men with chop•

rine, vegetables, red peppers and pork, or
having tided that stage are sipping tee
from covered bowls while they retail to
eaob other the events of the hour. Next
door be a millinery establishment where
are made and marketed the little flowered
bands which form a woman's head dress.

THE WINE 500ra.
Two °lassee of shops you will not fail
to nobioe. One ie the wine shop, to be
found in any degree from a big arook with
a bowl to a room where the gentry invite
their friende to dine and drink their eour,
smelling exoitant. Alas, here too oar
curses have outrun our aborabee, eo that
you may find French wines and Beibieb
liquors for sale on almost any busy street.
The other is the opium den, in all degrees
from a mud floored hat, with straw in
the corner, up to big shops with couches,
large ligbte and even Coufuaian garolie to
grace the wall. In tbie city alone it is
said there are several thousand dens and
it is wen known that the mejority of all
°lasses, both men and women, use the
drag in some form.
On the street, meantime, has been
passing a motley mase of mea, women,
children, doge, horses, pigs. Some coolie
women sit sewing and gossiping In their
doorways. Boys are flying kites, while
girle kink up feather blocks (battledore
and shattleonok) with the eidee of their

Bridges of Concrete.
_—
what lite Onhuio Colum l -donor of lllgte-
ways has to say la this Regard.
The report of the Ontario Commission-
er of Highways for 1903 ooutants a out of
a oonorete bridge built in South .Perth,
and iu view of the fast that this is an
important question looally at the present
time, and ie bound to become more
prominent bele -a long, the report as given
in full below will be interesting :
Concrete bridges beve been commonly
built with spans of thirty or forty fret.
Last year an arch of thirty feet epan and
fourteen foot roadway was erected on the
town line between Townships of Downie
and S,.uth Eaethops at a cont of 9035.
The thickness of the floor is only four
teen inches, and the abutments at each
end are three and a half feet think at the
base and two and a ba'f feet at the top.
This bridge is almost wholly of soaorete
but the flooring is reiuforoed to e0tne
extent with metal. The method of con
stroobion was to first oonstruot a wooden
subatruoture between the abutments, On
bbie was placed four inohee of oonarets,
in which was embedded steel rods of one
end three quarter inches diameter run.
Ping lengthways, and ten inches apart.
Ou this a coating of oonorete was laid,
then a layer of woven wire was etretobed
end E end of the bride. On this
from o g
a coating of oonorete was laid then !moth
er layer of wire, and so on, making a
total thickness of fourteen inches at the
eenbre of the bridge. A concrete parapet
wall takes the plane of a railing. This
is also strengthened with wire, and beavy
bolts are run downward and fastened in
the floor eo that the walla add to the
strength of the bridge.
Highway bridges of longer span are
now being commonly oonstruated with
areal superebtactaree, and oonorete or
stone masonry abutments. When timber
of the best quality was more plentiful
and cheaper than now, wooden bridges
were no doubt most economical, but with
the growing soaroity at lumber iocrsaeed
price, and poorer quality obtainable, the
more durable it more expensive materiale,
will after a term of years, be found the
obeapesb.
Wooden bridges supported on piles do
not lest for more than eight or ten years,
during which period a ooneidersbls
amount has to be spent for repairs. Con
orate piers and abutments, if web built,
should last a century or more, while the
steel superstructure, with proper atben
tion, ehoaid last at least halt as long.
So that, although the initial cost of a
wooden bridge may be only one halt or
one third that of steel and oonorete
structure, the latter will in the end be the
ebeapest. In addition, ib will be safer,
leas liable to oollapee, and will be more
convenient for traffe,
Well made oonorete is cheaper and
fully es durable ae atone masonry. Jost
as the coat of stone .masonry varies in
different localities, in a000rdauce with
the poet of atone, labor, ebo., so the wet
of oonorete will vary according to the
relative cost of gravel, broken stone,
Portland Cement, and labor. For piers
and abutments, the oust of oonorete
usually ranges from $4 to $6 per cubit)
yard, ae compared with stone masonry at
from 910 to $14 per onbio yard. 'Under
almost any otroometances oonorete ie
cheaper than stone masonry.
BRIDGE FLOORS.
Bridge floors of plank usually wear out
in from two to four years, and are a oon-
etaot matter of expense. Where bridges
ere built with inaaoory abutments and
steel superstructure, the floors eh aid be
made Of oonorete.
°onorate floors are exoeediogly durable,
and although coating mush more than
plank, when first laid, their greater
durability will enable them to outwear
half a dozes plank floors. Their Deet in
Elgin when first adopted was 47 cents a
equate foot, but this bas been reduced,
and floors are now being laid for 28 oents
a square foot.
()operate adds a ooueiderable load to
the dead weight of the bridge, but tbie is
more than compensated for by the extent
to wbioh it distributee the live load.
With a plank floor, the weight of every
Mich) peening over it is transmitted to
the individual members of the bridge,
°ageing a oonetent jarring and dieter.
Ilion that is very destructive to steel.
With oonorete, on the other band, the
weight of a pluming vehicle is epread over
a much greeter area of the bridge steno.
tare, the floor being a monolith and
distributing the live load over a muoh
greater bearing than can each plank. In
this way the injury to the bridges is
omen less with a oonorete than with a
plank floor. So mach is ibis the Dose
that with a °operate floor, it is not nesse
eery to restrict the speed of vtbiolee
travelling over it, With a plank floor
it is always expected that horses will not
be driven over the bridge faster than a
walk. Bat witb oonorete floors, trove I, is
not interfered with, and horses may be
driven over at the ordinary pane.
