realize that In union therc is

the dam at Lake COnemaugh yesterday
and examined the masonry and found
that it consisted merely of dirt, with a
light rubble facing, instead of solid ma
builders designed that its surplus in time
of high water should be run off, are said
to have been permanently closed to save
the fish. AS to the dam itself, there was
no massive masonry nor any tremendous
exhibition of engineering skill in design
ing the structure or putting it up. There
was no masonry at all, in fact, nor any
engineering worthy Of the name. The
dam was simply a gigantic heap Of
earth dumped across the course of a
mountain stream between two low hills.
It was faced on each side with layer OF
heavy, rongh stone, loosely thrown to-
gether and uncemented. This pile Of
earth was, as has been stated, about sew
enty-flvs feet high and ninety five feet
thick, at the base. At the summit it was
leveled off so as to be about twenty feet
wide and wagon-rOad crossed it. 1t was
an ordinary dirt-Toad. and there was no
rock CT masonry beneath it. The width
Of the stream at the bottom of the dam
was about forty feet. At the top the dam
was about 400 feet long. 1t was built
straight across the gap AMI neither face
nor back was curved. The slopes were
about the same on both face and back.
