man his own particular part in the
system.
When the army of shovelers is thrown
out over the city, with its following or
wagon trains, the dumps and appara-
tus for the disposal of the harvest are
manned and set in order. According 10
the latest method it is necessary TO
melt the snow. One of the most deli
cate questions involved in the snow re-
moving process is the order to be fol-
lowed The residents of every one OF
the districts of the town are convinced
that their particular sections stand
most in need of immediate attention,
and should there be any delay they DO
not hesitate to ventilate their opinions
in the matter. 1t has been found nee
essary in most cities to fix upon a sys-
tematic order of procedure.
Although the removal of the snow
from the streets of a great city is nee
essary not only for the convenience OF
the public, but also for the prevention
of disease it leaves nothing to show Tor
it's cost The best that can be said of
it is that it leaves the streets as good
as they were before. Every time such
a necessity arises the municipality is
left so much the poorer. 1t is also
so often affirmed, a blessing to the poor.
Those who find an opportunity to reap
a few dollars from it are not a hum
dredth part of the population. To real
ize the great waste that is due to snow
it is necessary to consider what might
be accomplished with snow money if
it could be saved or invested. 1t has
been estimated that New York city
has spent over $5,000.O0O on snow dur
ing the last twenty years.
A problem akin to snow fighting and
frequently not a whit less difficult of
solution confronts those American rail-
roads which are cleft in twain by some
portion of the great inland waterways.
Solid fields of ice are often encounter
ed by the vessels which are carrying
passenger and freight cars across the
gap, and they are compelled to pillow
their way through the opposing mass.
To accomplish this powerful steamers
especially constructed for the purpose
a modification of the rotary snow pillow
idea, are used. These floating ice
breakers are also necessity in north
ern harbors that must be kept open and
in the ferry tracks of the great ports.
Inventive man has not yet devised a
means of combating successfully the
dreaded snowslide, which is an annual
feature in some mountainous districts
of America. The rotary snow pillow has
made it possible to keep the tracks of
railroads clear, but how to stop the av-
alanche is another proposition. The
perilous season is from the early part
of March to the last of May.

It is not always smooth sailing with
the rotary pillow. Occasionally it is ex-
pected to make its way through snow
and ice avalanche that has descended
on the track. This mass of snow will
be the abiding place of sundfy masses
of earth and stones and very likely
branches of trees accumulated in the
descent. Now a good sized stone
caught in the blades of a rotary pillow
will put it out of commission at once,
and the work of excavating must be
abandoned So it is evident that the
engineer who runs a rotary must be an
experienced snow fighter. He must be
able to discriminate between a snow
drift pure and simple and one that is
supplied with foreign ingredients. The
slightest miscalculation might not only
wreck 81 machine worth many thou
sands of dollars, but might delay traffic
and ruffle the temper of many passen-
gers.

height. To one who sees such an accu-
mutation of snow for the first time it
seems impossible that any plow.- even
the most improved rotary, can pene-
trate it. With a rush and plunge the
big pillow is hurled into the mass of
frigid Wilderness. Black clouds of
smoke pour from the engines, and the
huge blades of the rotary begin to eat
into the drift. The snow shoots out of
the orifice at the side of the plow. AS
it is distributed it forms an immense
white semicircle which is constantly
moving onward, showing the progress
of the pillow. 4f5-r.fes .-.-- f.7r --
Slowly the rotary sexeayates its way
forward, and finally the pillow and its
engines are buried in a trench of White.
Only the smokestacks can be seen. and
they continue to belch forth inky clouds
that settle in a coat of smudge upon
the snowfield The great white semi
circle moves steadily onward, and in
the course of time it becomes apparent
that the drift is being conquered. It
is eventually overcome. and the pas
sengers on the regular express train

later know nothing of the snow battle
that has made their further progress
possible They may discover that they
are moving rapidly through a narrow
canyon whose walls are snow, but they
do not realize the mighty force that
has enabled them to cross the ridge of
the continent.
1t is the element of the unexpected
that sometimes adds largely to the Sc
robustness of these occasions. At the
passes over the great divide adequate
provision against trouble has been
made, and long blockades are few. Now

neers of the positions of the soma
phores. signal lamps being as a rule in
visible under the circumstances. The
expense involved is very great, the
Midland alone paying it's foggers up
ward of $4,000 per annum. All of the
Scotch lines are provided with snow
plows of the pattern designed for buck
ing, the rotary being unknown in Great
Britain. In England improvised snow
plows are used, which are driven by
two or three locomotives and do not ex-
coed thirty tons in weight. On the con-
tinent, however, especially in Austria
Hungary and on Russian and Scandi-
navian lines, the rotary is in active use.
The expeditions and systematic han
ding and disposal of the snowfall in
large city is a task which is calculated
to tax the capacity of a very clever
person. OF late years, however, the IA
cilities for doing this have been ex-
panded so greatly that the problem has
become less intricate. System and
speed are the two prime requisites. Be

The roads that cross the great divide
must eXpend enormous sums in their
annual conflict with the snow. Special
crews are provided for this work, and
special engines are held in reserve to
be put behind the snow plows as need
ed. Before the rotary was invented the
man with the shovel was the sole de-
pendence. In the early days of the
transcontinentaI railroad thousands of
laborers were kept on the pay roll sim
ply as snow shovelers. The snow sheds
erected by these lines have cost mint
of money. The wind swept stretches
of Wyoming and other states are guard
ed by wind breaks consisting of high
fences built across the most exposed
points. These fences seem to be fragile
barriers against such a mighty foe as
the snow king, but they serve their
purpose admirably, frequently prevent
ing a blockade ..-ff
In spite of the greatly improved meth
DDS of snow fighting, blockades are still
of frequent occurrence on these noun
tain roads. 1t is not at all unusual in
Colorado and Wyoming for a train to
be stalled between stations for hours
and perhaps for days. Those who have
had experiences of this kind do not
wax enthusiastic over them. Sometimes
provisions are lacking, and the Iuckless
passengers are in actual danger of
starving. In these lonely stretches there
is not a ranch for miles. AS a rule the
roads take extraordinary precautions
against blockades of this description
for in several cases large damages have
been collected by the victims
The huge snowdrifts that sometimes
rise in a single night are frequently
ten, twenty or even thirty feet in
