Welcome at the Landing.
Again, my subject teaches that when
we cross over at the last we shall be
met at the landing. When David and
his family went over in the ferryboat
spoken of in the text. they landed
amid a nation that had come out to
greet them. AS they stepped from the
the deck of the boat to the shore there
were thousands of people who gather
ed around them to express satisfac-
ton that was beyond description. And
so you and I will be met at the land
ing. Our arrival will not be like step
ping ashore at Antwerp or CONSTANT
nople among a crowd of strangers 1t
will be among, friends, good friends,
those who are warm hearted friends,
and all their friends. We know peo-
pie whom we have never seen by hear
ing somebody talk about them very
much; we know them almost as well
as if we had seen them And do you
not suppose that our parents and
brothers and sisters and children in
heaven have been talking about us all
these years, and talking to their
friends? So that, 1 suppose. when we
cross the river at the last we shall
not only be met by all those Chris
tian friends whom we knew ON earth.
but by all their friends. They will
come down to the landing to meet us.

Agriculture makes slow progress in
Bolivia. In the lands of the upper pla-
teau, surrounding La Paz and Oruro,
barley is grown and potatoes sown to
considerable extent, but the yield is
poor, on account of the very inhospita-
bic nature of the climate and the con-
slant frosts which occur at night dur
ing the summer season. The grain pro-
duced is utilized for food purposes and
the straw for fodder.

How the Heavy Cables for San Rrsn-
cisco street Cars Are
transported

San Francisco is the home of the
cable road, and it contains the biggest
truck for hauling the big cables used
for street railway traffic and the larg-
est team of horses ever put together to
draw single load. The numbers of
cables in use in San Francisco and the
frequency with which the Inanufactpr-
ers are called upon to move them, led to
the invention of the truck, which weighs
in itself Is tons. It has two wheels be-
hind and four smaller wheels in front,
the four IN front being arranged on q
single line. These front wheels are on
two separate axles, and the team has
two tongues. This allows the two sets
Of front wheels to be moved independ-
entity of each other, and in case Of need
they may be turned at opposite angles
and made TO serve as an additional
brake to the truck. The Fulton street
cable Is 81, 900 feet long, and the en-
tire load weighed 130, 900 pounds. To
support such a weight a wheel of special
manufacture was necessary. The
wheels are 10 inches broad and have q
core of iron. They have two tires. Be-
tween the core and the inner tire the
space is filed in with wooden wedges,
50 Ingeniously arranged that me
weight of the load has tendency to
draw the wedges together rather than
force them apart. Between the outer
and inner tires there is another and
similar arrangement of wedges. The
low body of the truck is Of wood.
The cables are loaded on between the
rear trucks, which are just wide
enough apart to permit the passage OF
the reel, and the process of loading
takes about an hour. They may be I'M
loaded in 20 minutes.
The team which draws this truck va
ries according to the size of the cable
70 be drawn. The smallest is composed
of SO horses. When a cable of large size
is to be hauled IN rainy weather 60
horses are used. These horses are ar
ranged four abreast but the pair on
the right OF each four is attached to the
truck Independently of the pair on the
left. This arrangement continues
throughout the team, so that in reality
the team Is made up of two parallel
teams, harnessed two abreast and draw
ing from independent axles and
tongues. The entire line Of 20 horses on
the right can be swung to the right and
the line of % on the left swung in that
direction, turning the two pairs Of
wheels In front in opposite directions
and forming an effect tive brake in case
the strap brake on the rear wheels fails
to hold on steep grade. The horses
are driven In sets of four, the drivers
usually riding one horse and managing
the one at the side and the two in front.
Sometimes the drivers walk beside the
team.
On asphalt streets, no matter how
nearly level the street may appear to
the ordinary load, it is always uphill
work for this truck when loaded. The
enormous weight has q tendency to
make the asphalt pile up In front Of
the wheels, and it seems a constant
climb. In wet weather the resistance
requires extra power, hence the use of
additional horses. - San Francisco
