Dangers of Crowds.
Wheu a man is standing still his
weight acts vertically downward, but
on moving he exerts a side thrust
greater than his weight. Consequently
a crowd moving rapidly on a structure
Like u pier exerts a tremendous side-'
wise pressure which tends to throw
the pier over. If a man stands on a
plank bridge it bends slightly, but if
he walks across it sways violently up
aud down. A regiment of soldiers
marching in step across a trestle or
other light bridge would cause such a
tremendous swaying motion that it
would give way, and so soldiers al
ways “break step" iu crossing such a
bridge.
On a certain swing footbridge across
a glen in the north of Scotland is a
notice forbidding Newfoundland dogs
to be tftkeu across. These dogs trot
in such perfect rhythm as to cause a
daugerous "sway” in a small bridge.
A man rising to a standing from a
sitting posture exerts on the ground a
force equal to twice his weight. Thus
when a crowd suddenly springs to its
feet at a football match or theater the \
strain on the supporting stands is ;
enormous and has to be allowed tor b} ;
the engineers.—Pearson s Weekl}.
