Embankments where roads traverse
streams or lakes are subject to many
destructive agents, and will not last
long unless they are carefully and in
telligently constructed
Along rivers, and especially at
bends, the current is continually car
rying away loose soil, and is as con-
tinuously loosening more to carry
along. In the spring, the ice, break
ing up, tears and cuts the banks as
1t passes along down the stream
This action takes place high up on
the river bank at the spring high
water mark. Bodies of moving ice
in the lakes crowd the shores with
great pressure, cutting the coast bad
" where the water is deep close up to
the shore line. When a heavy sheet
of ice is once set in motion by the
wind or current, it has stored up in
it enormous power. The writer has
seen ice fields come in against a
shore where the water was deep right
up to land, and pile up from thirty
to forty feet in height.
Above the high-water mark of the
stream, or along lakes, above the line
of wave action, the banks are cut by

are often placed loosely along the
bottom of the bank to afford some
foundation for the riprap and to
Dreak the force of the current. Some
times large stones are put in at the
water-line to catch the impact of the
waves and ice Where they are so
placed, it might be well to have very
little slope at the water-line, as shown
in Fig. of the accompanying sketch.
Riprap may be put in in different
ways. Three possible methods are
shown in Fig. 2 of the sketch. The
practical and really the only good
method of putting in the stone is to
place them with the long way of the
stone at right angles to the slope Of
the bank, as shown by No 1 of Fig.
2. In this way the weight of each
stone presses firmly against the bank,
with the fiat sides of the stones fitting
solidly against each other. In No. 2
the weight of each stone rests on the
one below it, for the stones are laid
horizontally Here there is more of a
chance for the fiat stones to slide out
of place, while in No, 1 it would be
difficult to pull out a stone after it
was firmly imbedded in the slope with
the others. Never put stone in as
shown in No. 8, where the stones
slant slightly toward the bed Of the
