an earthquake, particularly as one had been
felt throughout the Missouri valley the
summer before 1t was a bright moon
light night, and we could not see that the
bluffs or any of the ground except that on
which our camp was located was disturbed
in the least. Under us, however, there was
constant commotion, and we jumped to the
conclusion that the earth we had been
dumping along the right-of-way was set
ting, and that we were on the surface of
a landslide.
OF course, we all rushed for the main
grade as quick as our legs could carry us.
and then to the bluffs on the other side,
where we could look down and see what
was happening.
In few minutes the mystery was ex-
planned. The great Jumps which had been
i hurled down the incline were really COM
/ posed, not of earth as we supposed. but of
! frozen snakes. The big fires which we
had built had thawed them out beneath
our camp. and the reptiles were untanglins

the ground for hundreds of yards around
was alive with black snakes, copperheads
| and rattlers, l am not eXaggerating. As
| We gazed down upon the scene from the
blum 1t looked like a sea Of snakes. There
must have been 10000 OF them, crawling
over zach other forming into knots, rollins
into great balls, rafting and Kissing until
my blood ran cold.
My boss had been through something OF
the same kind before, and he~was the frs
one to get his head, He asked for voIun-
| teers. Soon a gang of us were throwing
ties over the snakes, and some of the most
courageous OF us, under orders from tho
boss. walked upon these ties to the differ
ent fires and scattered them with shovels
picks and wagon poles. Quickly the snakes
began to feel the chill, and In less thar
half an hour not one was moving W,
pitched our tents on the side Of the hill
for the rest of the night. and next mornin,
found that the snakes had again formed

between Phelps. Mo. and Hamburg, la.

the rickmen had TO remove the frozen crust
or the river blum before the scrapers could
be worked 10 advantage,
AT some points the ground was frozen so
hard that giant powder was used to blast It,
and separate gang was employed to roll
the chunks, many of which weighed sew
ersl hundred pounds, and were as hard as
granite, TO the inclines along the right-of-
way.
AS the scrapers got to work we would
dump the loose clay over these same in
clines, the humps would soon be covered up
and here and there we would plan to leave
level stretches on which to erect our tents
do our cooking. etc.
I will never forget one night when we
were all awakened by the movement Of the
earth beneath our camp. The night before
we had gathered dead underbrush and tree
limbs from the side of the blum and had
built blazing nres throughout the camp, for
the weather was frightfuly cold. Some OF
the men had rolled immense logs down the
hill, and these were thrown on the under
brush, making roaring fires, so that we had
all turned in that evening feeling more

TOPICS YOR A DAY OF REST.

A resume just made OF the work Of for
eign missions carried on by the Presby-
terrain church in the United States. north,
shows that the board is maintaining about
800 missionaries in sixteen different coun-
tries, besides $500 native helpers in the
various fields. There are close 10 5000 ma
tive Christians under its supervision. rep
resenting some 10000 adherents
The board also maintains S32 schools and
colleges, 10 hospitals and dispensaries in
which were treated last year 423,Ol9 pa
tents. In addition to these there are eight
printing establishments which are turning
out in the neighborhood OF 125,OO0,OOO pages
OF printed matter year.
With the exception Of the Church Mis-
sionary society OF England, the Presby-
terrain board has had committed to it the
largest work among Protestant missions In
the world. The cost of administration OF
this work is less than per cent
Regarding the financial support of this
great work It may be said that during this
year contributions from the home churches
have steadily increased, but the success Of
the missionaries abroad has been so re-
markable that the work on the field has
gone beyond the income of the board, and
this in spite OF the fact that no money
whatever has been appropriated for new
property or buildings, excepting such
amounts as have been given to the board
especially designated for that purpose.
