The following paper by Miss Theo
Amsbury is interesting:
"When we visited the gasoline en-.
CINE works, we passed first drought
the Office and number of other rooms
until we came TO what was called the
kitchen of the foundry. Here there
were great number of moulds stand
ing around, which looked as il they were
made from maple sugar. The material
OF which they were composed was a
mixture of sand linseed oil and molasses
which was formed into the required
shape by beng placed in wooden
pattern and afterwards baked in great
oven which stood at one end of the room
These moulds are used as receptacles TO
hold molten metals for castings.
From the kitchen we went into the
fou ldry itself. This is where castings
are made for the different parts OF the
engines. We were not fortunate enough
TO see any large castings made, but
some small articles were cast while we
were there. A number of small boxes
were standing in a row upon the ground
beside place where kettle filled with
brass was being heated red hot BY
means of tongs, which fitted around the
black kettle, and held it securely, two
men took the kettle off, and with the
greatest care, poured some Of the frey
molten brass into each one Of the boxes.
The kettle was then set down and the
castings left II cool.
Next we entered large room filled
with machinery. Here were machines
called lathes, for smoothing wheels
just out from the foundry and others
called boring machines for boring out
cylinders.
'In the next room that we visited a
completed engine was being tested A
lever and pair OF scales were used for
this. according TO some mysterious
method OF pl ysics, which sophomores
are not supposed to know. The engines
which stand the test are next taken into
the paint shop where they are flushed
and made ready for use"

the Governments plans are carried
out, and will be capable of supporting
an aggregate population greater thah
that now living in the famous 1rrl-
gated valleys Of the Nile and the 70.
The soil of this district is sedlmen-
tary deposit of vast depth and amazing
richness: its climate IS sub-trOplcal,
and but slightly more severe than that
of Egypt and Italy. and the experiment
stations have shown that, product for
product, 1t will check with the mes:
fertile sections of either.
The lesser irrigation enterprises that
have been launched upon the Colorado
in the past have found their chlef OBJ
stacle to lie in the accumulation III
their canals Of the sediment win
which the water is so heavily charged.
This silt is mostly worn from the
canon walls and carried down from
the upper courses OF the river. The
grade of the latter is so fiat through
the desert that a diversion canal must
have so slight a fall and so low yeloc-
ity that it cannot clear itself OF the
precipitated sediment. BY its present
plans the Government expects to util-
izc this pXtraneous matter by impOund-
ing it upon some of the vast Sravelly
expanses, where there is little soil at
present, by means of high dams, thus
securing fails for the canals, increas-
ing the irrigable land, and eliminating
much of the silt at the same time.
The plans of the Government hydro
graphers, as now outlined. call for
series OF reservoirs along the river. to
be formed by building high dams at
points where the opportunities for stor-
age appear favorable. Each dam j.

and also to provide means OF flushing
out the surplus accumulations OF Sedi-
ment. Canals CT great size, and OF
declivity sufficient to carry the silt in
suspension and not evolve destructive
erosion, will run from the tops Of the
dams.
The fall Of the river Is so slight that
reservoirs of enormous capacity may
be constructed without involving dams
of impracticable height. Each reser-
voir will gradually fill with sediment,
and when this occurs its surface will
be drawn down from twenty to forty
feet, thus converting all the reservoir
site, except the river channel, into
farming land. Then, whenever ce-
sired. the s!uices MAY be closed ard IT.
