Stumbling" post on the wharf. The other
end of the rope was fastened to the post on
deck. One of the hands, a man named
Arthur Berubie, caught his leg between
the post and the rope. The pressure (the
barge being heavily laden) was SO enor-
nous that the poor fellows leg was
broken in three places and his foot
wrenched completely off by the ankle and
thrown several yards forward on the deck.
A considerable number of people were
assembled at the wharf at the time

any of the hands could render any assist

JAPANESE SURVEY.

A Curious Empire Now Being Surveyed
for the First Time.
During the past five years work OF
great national and scientific interest has
been going on in Japan. 1t is only
within few months that any thing has
been known of Japan in this country OF
In Europe. 1t has revealed hitherto
unknown features of the country, and
has thrown a flood of light on its geog-
raphy, geology and resource, both actual
and possible. When the survey was be-
gun there were hardly any maps which
were reliable. The proportion of ex-
plored and UNEMPLOYED resources was
not known. The coast surveys were
quite correct, but the interior of the
country was almost terra incognitn.
The nature of the soil, the face of the
country and a Typographical survey,
were matters to be Systematically exam
ined and put on record. The survey is
conducted by three experimentation
graphical, geological and agronomical.
A fourth-a chemical section-was
created to investigate and test the ma
terial presented by the geological and
the agronomical. The difficulties of the
work have been numerous. The Japa-
nese chain of islands is little more
than q huge and complicated range
of mountains. which. in parts, is hardly
passable. Away from the main roads the
survey could be accomplished only by
great physical vigor and powers of en-
durance. The inadequate training of
engineers and the ignorance of cortog-
raphy as understood in Europe have
proved serious obstacles to the success

which would not for a moment allow
the work to be done out of the country,
was at loss how to accomplish its OBJ
ject. Lithography and heliogravure
were tried, but the Japanese did not I'M
derstand these arts. Ultimately, the
Tovodo Engineering Company in Toxic
was intrusted with the work, under the
constant superintendent and control
of a director, and it is curious to note
that the maps are all etched, not en-
gaved. The maps published are: A
geological map showing the distribution
of primitive, paleozoic, mesozoic and
tertiary deposits; an oroplastic map,
showing the surface. shape, represented
by horizontal layers, and the depths
of surrounding soil; a magnetic map,

and the isodynamic lines of Japan;
maps of the great historical earth
quakes. The scientific digest shows
that almost all the systems have had
part in the formation of the japanese
range. 1t shows also that the mountain
chain is of unilateral structure and be-
yond doubt has been shifted from the
side of the japanese sea to the side of
the free ocean. Another striking feature
is the great transverse depression which
crosses the man island near the capital.

tell you a little story about Swift, super.
intendent of telegraph on the Rock Island.
Some time last winter the signal service
people told Swift they would furnish him
their bulletins if he would undertake to
send them out and have them posted along
| the road. Swift accepted the offer and
thought it big thing. He had instruc.
tons sent out to all operators concerning the
posting of the weather bulletins, and felt
SO proud of the new service that he
went around Dragging what good thing
1t would be. In few days the signal
service predicted very heavy snow
storm, and Swift sent word to the superin-
tendents, suggesting that they had better
make arrangements in advance to keep
the track clear of the usual fall snow sure
to come.
"'Now, y GU see. ," he said, "'how valuable
this service is to railroad. When that
snow comes We'll be prepared for it, and
not wheel will be stopped
Constructions were sent to station agents

gangs of extra laborers were hired to
shovel snow. But this snow storm didn't
seem to be in hurry. The day passed as
bright and clear as one could ask for, the
night following was equally pleasant,
and the next day started in as clear as a
morning in June, with no no sign of snow
to be discsrned.
"The boys couldn't stand it any longer.
First one sent message to Swift inquir-
ing: Where is that snow -storm?' and then
another took it up and sent in his ques-
ton. In a few hours Swift received about
five hundred messages from Illinois. Iowa,
Missouri and Minnesota, inquiring where
that snow storm was, and when it might
be expected to arrive at tho station of the
inquirer. One of the boys wanted his
storm sent by express, and another asked
what snow looked like, any way. In this
way they kept it up until poor Swift was
knocked out of the box as the baseball
people say, and, after giving orders that
the signal-service reports should be fred
from the road, he went home and stayed
there for thirty six hours"
