A Road OF solid Salt.

Age Of Steel: The grading OF road
OF solid salt was until recently an un.
expected task Ia engineering, and is
thus described by one OF its operators:
In what In known as the Death valley
we found stretch Of solid salt about
eight miles across. In sense It was
level-there were no hills or valleys.
In another sense there was scarcely n
level square inch on the whule beds,
for the salt crust had, probably through
the influences OF the heat from above
and OF moisture frOm below, been torn
and twisted and thrown up in thn most
Jagged peaks,pyramidsa and crii-crossed
ridges imaginable.
Thoy were not high-none more
than four fest--but there was not a
level SPACE even for mans foot be-
tween them. Every step made waa on
a ragged point or edge OF some kind.
The nearest approach to any tning liigs
that | have ever seen was on the fee ON
Lake Erie, where two ields had been
damned together by the wind and held
so by the frost. The ragged icu masses
were somewhat like these salt masses.
They were larger, bat they were not
so sharp or IN any way 10 dihlcult to
cross.
Judging that the crust would sustain
the weight OF the wagons the workmen
swung the sledge hammer day after
day until they had beaten dOwa these
pinnaclss into smooth way six feet
wide. IL was perhaps the most labor
iUus engineering work ever Done Ia
the country, for the climate and loca-
tlon, far from civilized habltations,
combined to retard the Efforts Of tho
workmen. The roadway, when com.
pleted, led over what may be properly
called naturally formed bridge Ol salt
eight miles long-the only onu OF tho
kind in the world.
As one enters the eastorly end OF this
road two unmarked graves arc seen in
the suit crust near the track. They
are the graves Of unknown men who
died there from the heat, and, after the
fashion Of the country, were buried
where they fell. They were covered
over with pieces Of salt broken from
the pinnucles near by. The crust WINS
too hard to warrant digging into 1t, One
must travel q long time To find two
more grave, Ike these, II indeed two
more can DO found Ia the world.
