LETTER WRITING.

So many people dislike to write let

for doing it. This may be because II
uses up so much time and 1t may be
because it means effort. we are III
clined to think that the real dislike
for letter writing Is due more to the
effort involved than to the time II
takes. 1t may be an exertion and II
may not be. But why make so good
- thing task? 1t is foolish not to
like letter writing. as it is such
vital thing in all our lives. But no"
can we think oterhwise? Only by

ROADS AND RIVERS.

DID YOU ever stop 10 think why roads
follow the directions that they do and
/ why railroads for the most part are
built along the ways we travel so
often? Now that this question Is
brought to our minds we must have
visions of railroads along rivers and
through valleys, with the mountains
towering above, and besides we can
remember one or two trips we nave
taken in train or carriage or motor
up end over a mountain. Why, then,
can there be any real reason for build
ing roads IN any particular type of
country when we remember some over
mountains and some through valleys
Primarily, roads are built to connect
one important place with another.
| Then the secondary question comes up
where shall. we build It and the an
swer Is, over that part Of the country
which offers least INSTRUMENTATION
Win edve the least amount Of work and
cost the least amount OF money. So
/ then the civil engineers begin to look
about and they say. "Ah, here is a
river--let us run this road along the
riverside, as 1t is fiat and even; or.
again, "Here ia land through which a
river flowed In years gone by. We
will build here, as the ground Is more
even than over the mountains' And
so 1t goes-old river beds. deserted
long since by their rivers and old lake
districts. deserted long since by their
lakes; actual lakes and actual rivers,
river valleys or wales formed by the
ancient upheaval Of the land: all these
invite the road builder Yes--and old
glacial ground-out sections where the
ice has grated and scooped out the
land-these sections are used, too, in
some part.
But all this has been about roads
and railroads; how. then. are the Or
binary footpaths made? IF you stop to
think you will say, "Why. I would
walk along the most level ground and
would 90 in the most direct way to
the place" And that is just how 1t is
done! Often, though, these paths laid
out by no engineers curve about too
much. and when cities and highways
are built the engineers straighten out
the curves and level the grades.
We can hear some bright reader ask,
What about the mountain roads and
bridges over chasms?' The answer to
this is: Where there are no natural
roadways, and where it Is necessary 10
have roads, the engineers plan to build
them. and sometimes overcome what
seems the impossible! For example,
the roads built up mountains, such as
Mount Washington, Pixies Peak and
some Of the Swiss mountains. The
roads that serpentine around noun
tains are built so as 10 make travelling
easier, or because direct route would
involve greater difficulties and expense.
Don't you think motor trips and rail
road Journeys will be more interesting
now that we know just a wee little bit
about roads?
