Comparing the tools that We had

it is today, I can not feel abashed
in your presence. On the contrary
I am rather surprised that Won

might come a shade to rebuke the
Roman, one Of the engineers who
served the great Amenemhat of
Egypt, who would say:
Proud Roman. sneer no more Al

your own laurels. YOU brought

You talk Of your masonry and your

from improving upon them, YOU did

What We Mustn't Assume.
Then, from all over the ancient
world and from the most distant
tracts of time, would flock the en-
gineers of the past, and one would
say: King Solomon built aque-
ducts for Jerusalem;" and another:
'Semiramis made Babylon glorious
with sparkling waters" and anoth-

down from the roof Of the world and
begun the vastest system of irriga-

SO, 1t will not do to assume as
we are too prone to do, that these
things are the inventions Of our
time. The most that we can claim
for ourselves is that we have made
good use OF our opportunities. We
are still working along the old lines,
and neither when we train rivers
into new courses, or bore holes
through mountains, or draw water
from the rocks beneath, or carry
streams over long arches of ma

or honeycomb the soil beneath our
cities with conduits, are we doing
anything that would astonish our
predecessors OF 20, or 40. or even
80, centuries ago. AS far as we can
see their brains were as good as
ours, but our hands have acquitted

IN DANGER FROM LIGHTNING
Observatories on Lofty Mountains
Often Struck if They Are
Built in the Snow.

One Of the greatest dangers to
mountain observatories is from
lightning. This was illustrated last
year, when the observatory on the
summit of Mont Blanc was struck ;
one man was injured so badly that he
has since died.
The reasons for this danger are
evident. The ground is frozen and
snow is bad conductor of electric
ity. This particular building is of
wood, buried IN the snow. The roof
was covered with copper plates, but
the copper is not to be blamed as the
building was struck by lightning in
1909 while building and before the
copper was put on.
Another Mont Blanc observatory,
built in the snow, was struck few
years ago, with the result that nails
were forged together. This was in
spite Of lightning rod supplied with
a wire cable to rock 300 yards away.
In spite of additional lightning
rods, the shocks continued. On one
occasion a visiting guide reported
that for two hours and half he
watched ribbons of fire passing hori-
zontally across one of the rooms.
Not far from these is another OBJ
servatory that in 10 years has never
been touched by lightning. Instead
of being built in the snow, it rests
directly on the rock. Its copper roof
and even the stovepipe are connected
with the lightning rods, from which
conductors lead down into the rocks
and are fastened to them.
