This Is by building dams in: n,inia-

6 feet wile.and s feet high. a section
OF dam Is constructed one-twcntieth

pumped materials under conditions

be subjected to water pressure. Rec.
ords will be kept Of the water percola-
tlon through the layers of soil. the de-
gree Of saturation and the erosion OF
the embnnkment. When these are com.

what sort of material is required. the

Studies OF landslides-the most vex.

ing made in boxes in a similar manner.
When these and various other exper.
iments are completed the canal zone
will be the most thoroughly tested

be sincerely hoped that the efforts
that are now being put forth by some
OF the good West Virginians. patriotic
to their State. to save the mound from
destruction will be crowned with sue
cess. All over West Virginia, in every
school house. be It nesting on the
banks OF some quiet stream or hanging
on the side Of some rocky mountain,
interest has been raised. Surely the
people Of West Virginia are not going
to stand Idly by and see the most Inn
portant relic 10 the entire State de.
stroyed. Mr. McFadden. owner OF the
mound. has, been very considerate in
his demands. and there Is no one In
the world who regrets the steps that
he has found necessary to take any
more than he. He has consented to
make substantial donation to the
fund that Is. being raised. Supt. Mil.
Ter has interested himself In the mat.
tor and will take It up with Governor
Dawson and endeavor to have the
State take some action in the matter.
What should be done is this-the State
should purchase the mound and ap
point custodian to take care Of It.
At the top Of the hill there should be
a neat house wherein all the Indian
and mound building relics that have
ever been discovered In this section
should be, deposited. The mound should
be. improved from top to bottom; that
is nll the rnderbrush should be Gu,
away. new trees planted and the un
slightly heap OF earth beautitled. 1t Is
the largest mound In the world. Other
States have mounds. but they are pig
