north levee of Sacramento. It says: Ma
jor Sute- also employs a simple and mex
pensive method of changing the curr Mt OF
the river where it is wearing away the bank.
A lire is fastened to a buoy near the center.
Branches OF trees are tied along one-hslf Of
this, leaving the other bali bare. Anchors
are attached at both ends OF the rope, and
the half without bushes is run up the river
as a guy, while the buoy holds up the center
OF the rope at the surface. A line OF brush
then runs from the surface diagonally to the
bottom. n ceres VI ShSsS ~ plaCci OCJ IN
the stream near where the damage is being
done. The sediment coming down stream
catches on the brush, siGks, and forms bar,
aud either breaks the force Of the current or
throws it out into the stream away from the
endangered bank. This latter method has
long been in use by the Corps of Royal En-
gineers of Great Britain with success.
