Abstract
HAVING read with interest Sir G. Airy's article on this subject in the last number of NATURE, I am glad to see that it advocates a suspension-bridge in lieu of the proposed structure. It may perhaps interest your readers to give the particulars of the Great International Suspension Bridge over the Niagara River, which supports a carriage-way and a railway-track above.
