Konr temporary footbrldrea, riinniris from the Manhattan anchorace over the towers to the Brooklyn anehi i of the hew Bast River Bridge have been nearly completed. A Tribune was the first artist to cross tho river on of the p.ith«=. and the pictures presented In the newspaper to-day show tho work as It Is plug pushed rapidly over the rivet wee i the two towers. AT WORK ON THE FOOTBRIDGE OF THE NEW EAST RIVER BRIDGE The temporary footbridges are being constructed to enable the workmen to reach the Urge cables of the bridge when they are placed In position. As the pictures show, the temporary footpaths are built In pairs.

Kach pair is supported on two small wire cables. Timbers are laid across cables, and they are of sufficient length to overlap a few feet. Planks are then laid over each cable, forming a footpath. Hand rails are being provided for each footpath. The Inner footpaths are to be connected by cross bridges at intervals.

One picture the beginning of a crossbridge over the river, about midway between the towers, and another picture shows other crossbrldges which have been constructed near the Brooklyn tower. When the temporary brides are completed the workmen can pass readily one footpath to another without danger, and can i.l to the laree cables which will be stretched below the footpaths. The task of constructing the foothpaths in midair has i been somewhat perilous. of the enin rineers saM the other day that seven men had an.l had been killed the work began.

MAKERS OF FIREWORKS READY FOR a BIP. rKI.KRKATTON With the Fourth of July less than three weeks the busiest tradesmen in town an the manufacturers of fireworks. Their wholesale stores arc crowded with buyers and their warehouses are betnK rapidly emptied of celebrating paraphernalia.

Practically all out of town shipments have been made. The dealers say that their size assures a noisy and brilliant Fourth in almost every Northern in the country, and they oupht to know, fnr this city Is the centre of fireworks supply. Thrre are hundreds of small dealt In this city, however, who will wait till the last minute to 1 iv their stocks, and the. manufacturers will rushed until noon on the much celebrated day. There are not many novelties in the way of pyrotechnics for the coming celebration.

One reason is that this is considered an "off year" by the. manufacturers, owing; to the Presidential election last year. The skilled men In the fireworks tories have not been entirely Idle, however, and many of the features which came out for last year's Fourth have been greatly improved. One firm has designed a pasteboard gunboat with a small firecracker for its funnel. The cracker Is so placed as to blew the unfortunate boat to bits anil thereby cause added happiness to youthful celebrators.

Another firm has turned out searchlight rockets which will throw out a most brilliant light when exploded In the air. Another novelty Is called "the Jewel fan." which has a fire fountain in the centre and two tubes of variously colored stars on either side. There are the same old firecrackers, torpedoes, sky rockets, Roman candles and which have lighted the populace ever the glorious Fourth was made different from other days. Very few of the green boxes in which Chinese fireworks are packed are to be seen this year, and in speaking of lbs falling off in the use of goods made In China a Park Place maker said yesterday to a Tribune reporter: "It was not many yearn ago that Peking Chinamen were revered by children all over the country because they made the d-light giving firecracker. the children must thank honest laborers who live the year round not thirty miles from this city.

We ret very little in the fireworks line from China except the smaller times of firecrackers. These are the only articles of the kind which we cannot make as cheaply and vast I better. Even the, heavy duty Imposed by the government does not sufficiently protect us. We also get what Is known as the Mandarin cracker. These come In nunches or strings having from fifty-two to flfty thousand crackers.

The larger ones are usually suspended from a telegraph pole and give a series ef noisy explosions lasting five or ten minutes As soon as the Fourth's celebration is over the fireworks factories will begin to turn out goods for the Christmas celebrations In the South Individual workmen will begin experiments of various sorts for the Fourth of New combinations of light powders will be. studied. For several years the manufacturers have given much attention to safety appliances for the benefit of those who discharge fireworks, and. while the chances of accident are greatly lessened, there will probably be the usual round of accidents In connection with the celebration.

EFFORTS OF THE MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY TO OBTAIN VOCAL COLLECTIONS TO II. I. TRATE THE EARLY LIFE OF THIS PITT Amnn? the collections In the American Muse usa of Natural History probably none are interesting tl.nn the several local collections which are arranged especially to Illustrate the natural history of the city and its Immediate vicinity, In forming those collections the trustees have had In vlpw the educational character of the museum. When collections are developed they will fully Illustrate the peolotrtcal formations, the minerals, and the extinct and living forms of animal life. In order to make these local exhibits complete it is essential that there should be added a collection illustrative of the Indians who had s.i occupie.l this region and who were gradually forced their ancient homes.

Thai this epoch of Indian occupation, now of almost prehistoric character, should be represented In this educational museum, and that New-Yorkers should I Iks a special Inte'est In obtaining such in exhibit, seem beyond question. That the i. his already met with appreciation Is shown by the fact that the expense of the explorations which have been carried on for the last four years has been provided for In large part by the contributions of two men who became Interested In the work. Old Indian sites on Staten Island, on Long Island, in Pelham Park, near Westehoster. at Croton have been explored, and considerable material has been gathered from st.

11 heaps, TtUagS sites and burial places. Pottery vessels, stoats implements, bone Implements, pipes and various other objects of native work, anil arrow points and ornaments made of brass obtained in the early contact with white settlers, as well as a number or' Indian skeletons and bones of animals. Including those of the Indian have been obtained. Numerous village sites. shell helps, rock shelters earth embankments have been described, photographed and located on a map.

it Is one el the objects of these explorations to map showing the various Indian towns, camp sites and burial places, and as far as possible to trace out the historical Indian villages. Another purpose Is to. bring together the domestic utensils, the weapons, implements and ornaments of jthe different tribes which lived in region, anil to m.ike models of rock shelters and in fact. present as full a history possible of Indian life as it was before and at the time of the coming of the white race. A number of sites have been found which should be explored without delay, so rapidly are.

Many of these sites IIS on land which permission has been obtained to explore, but in a year or two this land will he used for residential or baseness purposes, and the opportunities for archaeological research will be lfst. The Income at the disposal of tne trustees of the museum Is appropriated for other purposes, and they must depend on those specially interested In this local work for the to carry It on.

This work must be done by trained archaeologists, with the help of two or three laborers to do the heavy It must be lone carefully trowel and brush to remove the skeletons and various objects found.

Hew or when the practice originated cannot be positively stated. It certainly existed In the days of the Duke of Wellington, who never wore uniform except on state occasions. The Duke of Cambridge made no change, and Lord Wolseley. who was anxious to do so. met with many obstacles.

June 15 The Siamese Government has appointed an Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States, an! this may mean much for the commercial 'urtween America and Siam In the near future.

Hitherto the Siamese minister at the Court of St. James has also been accredited to Holland. Belgium and the United States, and the interests of Siam in America have for many years been directly intrust.

He represents the advance element in his government and is acquainted with the English language. As a preparation for his important duties he has seen considerable public service at home, having served for some time In the Foreign Otace at Bangkok and more recently in the Department of the Local Government. Before his departure his name, or title, will be changed. In accordance with the custom of his country, and he will be known in Washington under the title Phya Charoon Raja Maitri. The term Phya is a title which is next to the most honorable one that can be borne by any one outside of the royal families', and the rest of the one who Is to encourasre more cordial international relations.

Slam has been advancing rapidly In the last ten years. Many of the officials in the Siamese Government and the Kin? have a fair knowledge of European civilization, an acquaintance which has been acquired both through travel and through education received In that part of the world: moreover. the monarchical forms of government are more In harmony with their Ideas of sovereignty, hence their sympathies naturally turn toward Europe politically, and the best things with which they are acquainted naturally attract their commerce. On the other hand, the recent developments In the Far East have impressed this people with fact that there is a great and rapidly growing people fes the Western Hemisphere of whom they know little and with whom the world must reckon ha future, both in politics and in commerce. The attitude of America in the Chinese problem la thoroughly appreciated by Slam: the cordial and Intimate relations between America and Japan, her advanced sister in the Orient, are furnishing Slam a valuable object lesson in politics, and American products are commending themselves their competition with the cheap stuffs made to meet present and local tastes of the Oriental market.

All that Is needed at the present time to bring America into larger commercial relations with Slam is a more Intimate acquaintance on her part with American Institutions. American products and the American people. Slam already appreciates this some extent, and as an earnest of this fact she Is now sending a minister to represent her In Washington. The Siamese are travelling and inquiring' people, and this promises to be only the beginning of a series of Influences that will result In Introducing the American commonwealth to a larger number of this Oriental people, year by year. WEA9E CLAWS HCALLC THE SUPPLY gfIZEM DEPLETED OX THE LONG SHORE.

A decrease in the New-York State supply of hard and soft clams and of scallops is the subject of a report by Dr. L. Kellosrsr published in the bulletin of the New-York State Museum, and Is based upon a personal inspection of the entire coast of I.onir Island. The examination, the report says. proved conclusively that the accomplished depletion of the supply of clams an.l scallops on the New- England coast Is belns repeated on the Lonfr Island coast.

At the eastern end of Long Island the shores of Peconic Bay and Gardiner Bay are wonderfully adapted for the growth of the soft clam, and thousands of bushels are due at the west end of Peconic Hay and marketed there vevery winter. There has been a noticeable diminution in the supply in recent years, but it has not caused alarm among the thus far. The shores of Shelter Island, except the north shore, have produced many clams, hut the supply there is said to be falling off rapidly. An Increase In the demand for soft clams in the summer has been caused by the Increase in the summer population of Shelter Island The report records alleged curloua fact that "while In New-England the soft clam Is used extensively during the summer months in popular clambake, there Is very little demand for It anywhere on Long Island during that season." From Sag Harbor to Fort Pond Bay there are many small bays and inlets containing a supply of soft clams which has been regarded as practically inexhaustible. few clams are sent to New-V.

rk from that part of the Island, but many are marketed at New-London and other New-Ensland centres for distribution. A great number used for bait by fishermen. The supply la still great, but it is the testimony of clam -diggers along that part of th. Long Island roast that the clam beds are being depleted and ruined gradually. On the south shore of Long Island, from Montauk Point to Beach, where the surf rolls constantly on the reach of sand, the conditions are nowhere favorable for the growth of either the hard or soft clam.

Few clams are dug in the Great South Bay or In the bays near it. but Jamaica Bay contains a large supply of clams, and many are dug there every season and sent to the New-Torn market. report declares that If Immediate steps taken to prevent the further depletion of the clam "beds on the Lang island shores the destruction of the clam Industry may tie prevented, hut attention is railed to the complete depletion of the dam- at Duxbury and Essex. in Massachusetts, and It Is asserted that the ruin of the clam beds on the New- England coast has been repeated at Hempstead Harbor Oyster Bay. Huntincton Bay and Smithtown Bay One New-Enffland State has made appropriations for a practical inquiry Into the possibilities of clam culture.

"Our chief conclusion." the report "Is that In most localities along the shore of Long I'lanii the supply ta now falling rapidly, and. unless these methods of artificial propagation are Introduced, must soon fail completely. THE TITLE OF THE MUM SOVEREIGX. From The London Chronicle The title of our sovereigns has undergone a good many changes in the course of the ages. Even during the Heptarchy "Rex pentls Anglorum" existed though the style Klnsr of England was first used by Egbert.
