BRIDGE LEFT HIGH AND DRY.
By the road from Trujillo, in Peru, to Salaverry, the nearest port, stands a costly concrete bridge spanning dry ground. The bridge was built to cross a river, but no sooner had the bridge been completed than the river changed its course. It now flows a mile north of the bridge, but the inhabitants of the region are optimistic and hope that some day the river will change back to 4ts old and thus make the bridge of use.
