a SEA-,
An Artificial Lake with Waves Like thu
Ocean.

N"o
Ocean.
Ont in southwestern Utah there is an
irrigating reservoir covering SO large
an area in the open sandy desert that
the wind has n sweep sufficient to raise
waves five or six feet high. About
eight miles of the border of this reser-
voir is an artificial bank, and unless a
method of keeping the waves off this
bank were adopted the owners of the
property would some day find that
most of the stored water had escaped
through a crevasse.
To provide the necessary protection
N inexpensive breakwater was con-
structed, which was recently described
by W. p. Hardesty in all article on the
Swan Lake works. of which the reser-
yoir is a part. The inside slope of the
banks is one foot rise in a horizontal
distance of five feet. and the face is
protected by cobble stone in some
places and by willows in others, the
latter giving the best results. They
were obtained early in the spring and
fall, when they will sprout. A square
trench is made in the bank down to
the high-water mark, and tie butts of
the willows laid in it. Dirt is then
thrown over the butts and roc,.s laid
over the projecting ends. This has
been found to make & fair temporary
protection, ana the cuttings begin to
grow Immediately, reaching n height
of 4 or S feet during the first year.
This protects the bank from ordinary
waves, but to keep the unusually high
Ones from it, which are pretty sure to
cause damage, a floating breakwater
is employed. This was constructed
by first driving a line of piles into the
reservoir about Is feet from the toe of
the bank. They were driven from 20
to % feet apart, and a row of cedar logs
about twelve inches in diameter was
strung along on top of the water be-
tween them. The ends of the logs are
fastened together with chains. and
the logs are fastened to the piles in
such a way that they rise and fall
with the waves.
This boom has been found to break
the force of the ave- quite effectual-
ly. The ~fastenings to the piles are
sometimes broken loose in storms, and
to protect the bank in such cases a
simple plan has been adopted. A
wire about the size of a telegraph wire
is strung at intervals from the piles to
the bank. A loop or rider of wire is
then passed over the first line and
fastened firmly to one OF the logs in
the boom. In case the log breaks
loose it is guided by the wires straight
to the shore and still offers some pro-
lection to the bank. Philadelphia

angels by n similar mark across the

that it was miraculOusly placed upon
the ass Christ rode upon His triumphaI
