HOW LEvEEs ARE MADE.
Important Changes In Methods Of
Building Them.

The modern method of levee build
Ing is nowhere more scientifically
demonstrated than in tho st. Francis
district. In the early days Of levee
building 1t was thought that any pile
Of dirt approximately so high and so
wide and running approximately paral-
lei with the river was good enough.
The delusion cost thousands Of dol
lars. To-day the site Of the projected
levee is carefully cleared Of all trees,
the very roots being grubbed out. be-
cause these would decay otherwise,
leaving channels through the soil un-
der the dyke through which sipe water
would quickly undermine the struc-
ture.
Down the center Of the cleared site
q trench, called technically a muck
ditch. 10 dug, and in this puddled clay
or tIckshot is filled. Upon this the
earth dug from barrow pits adjacent
to the levee ON the landward side II
placed.
1t Is not dumped helter.skelter, but
carefully spread In layers giving the
finished mound the maximum strength
and solidity. These layers extend both
laterally and longitudinally across the
levee, binding 1t in every direction.
The work Of placing the dirt Is done
principally by means Of wheelsorapers
operated by mules. Under some cir
cumstances small hatcars are used.
propelled by locomotive and bring

It Is one Of the possibilities, and
even probability, that the effect Of
the recent service pension law will
be to take out of the soldiers homes
many old sildiers whose pensions. in
creased under the new provisions. will
enable them to live at home, or with
their relations. II this prove to be the
case, 1t will make room for other vet
Grams. those who need the refuge pro-
vided for disabled veterans. but who,
thus far. have been crowded out. So
good will come all round from the new
pension law.

soma slrd.' Ocean Trip. Cost Money

Song elrds' Ocean Trips Cost Money
Nine Sembrich. who sailed for Eu
rope the other day, occupied a suite
on board the steamer for which the
sum of $1.100 was paid. Caruso's
quarters came little lower--$900 be
ing the sum expended in getting him
back to his dear Italy for the sum
mer. There mag be those who sym
pathize with the impresarios who
agree when they engage artists to
pay their expenses both ways. This
sympathy with Herr Conried and d.
rector Hammerstein we consider mis-
placed. however. After all. they cal
culate In advance the cost Of sing
er, and It matters little whether they
pay the. money over direct or hold. out
a part of It for the steamship lines.
The expense really falls upon the
public-the people who pay anywhere
from IS to 500 each for the privilege
of hearing the Sembrichs and the
Carusos sing.
And so long as the public is salts
fed no kind Of criticism is likely to
change present conditions.
