Important Changes In the Methods
Of BuiIding Them.

The modern method O. leFee build
Ing Is nowhere more scientifically
demonstrated than IN ST. Francis dis
trfct In the early days OF leFss
building It was thought that any pile
Of dirt approximately SO high and Sd
wide and running approximately
parallel with the river was good
enough
The delusion, says The World To-
day cost thousands OF dollars To-
day the site OF the projected leyes
is carefully cleared OF all trees. ths
vey roots being grubbed out. because
these would decay otherwise. ana
leave channels through the soil under
the dyke through which sipe water
would quickly undermine the struc-
ture.
Down the centre OF the cleared site
a trench. called technically a muck
ditch. Is dug. and IN this puddled
clay or buckshot is filed. Upon this
the earth dug from barrow pits ad-
jacent 10 the leyee on the landward
side is placed.
II IS not dumped heller SHELTER,
but carefully spread In layers. gfving
the finished mound the maximum
strength and solidity These layers
extend both lateralIy and longitu-
dinally across the Ievee. binding IL
In every direction.
The work of placing the dirt s
done principally by means of wheel
scrappers, operated By mules Tn
der some circumstances small natcars
are used, propelled by a locomotive
and bringing the earth from a
greater distance. This is not often
done except when continued rains
have made the ground too soft for
successful work with the teams.

secrets we Are tossing.

1--WE are losing all our secrets IN
this shoddy age" an architect said.
IF we keep on, the time viii come
when well be able TO do nothing
we'll.
Take, for instance. steel We
claim TO make good steel. yet the
blades the Saracens turned out hun
dreds of years ago would cut one OF
our own blades in two like butter.
Take ink. Our modern ink fades
in five or ten years TO rust color, yet
the ink of medieval manuscripts IS
as black and bright to day as it was
700 years ago.
Take dyes. The beautiful blues
and reds and greens of antique ORR
entail rugs have all been lost, while
in Egyptian tombs we find fabrics
dyed thousands OF years ago that re-
main to-day brighter and purer in
hue than any of our modern fabrics.
Take my specially, buildings.
We can't build as the ancients did.
Yhe secret OF their mortar and ee-
ment Is lost TO US. Their mortar
4 cement were actually harder
aud more durable than the stones
bound together, whereas ours-hor-
rors.
I'VE can't even make artificial
diamonds now. Old briliiants OF
French paste were 50 beautiful that
they could hardly be told from real
brIliants by experts But the secret
Of this French paste like a hundred
other secrets Of the days Of cOnscien-
tlous work, is irretrieyabIy lost"

One does not often attribute the vir-

anecdote In which it's existence is evil
dent Doctor Perry, surgeon Of the
Twentieth Massachusetts,, wakened In
camp one morning to find himself tight
ly held in the clutch of Doctor Hay
ward, his senior officer.
Don't move, John, till say three ~
ordered the senior, sharply. Then
seize my hands and spring to your feet.
One, two, three!"
At the word Doctor Perry jumped,
and never made a cleaner leap. He
was just in time to see a moccasin dive
under the coat which he had been us
ing for a pillow. Armed with sticks.
they dragged the coat away, but saw
