EFFICIENCY IN DUMPING DIRT

both pans in the pit. The pans. when
full, are hOisted and discharge their
contents into the scows.
The scows are each 100 feet long.
81 feet wide and II feet deep and each
has six pockets. They carry each about
a thousand tons Of material.
In the loading each OF the two derrick
engineers ashore can reach any one Of
his three pockets in a scow and dump
earth into 1t precisely where 1t should
go with no necessity for trimming.
Those engineers are past grand masters
In handling hosting machinery, and
they waste no time.
When the chains have been hooked
to a loaded scoop on the ground the
engineer throws lever and starts
the hoisting, he throws another lever
to swing the boom out over the scow.
he throws still another lever to tilt
the scoop and empty 1t and then he
swings the scoop back and lowers 1t
to the ground, doing all this in one
minute.
1t keeps a dozen or fifteen men busy
around the derricks, looking after the
wagons as they come along and at
tending to the big dumping pans. When
q pan comes down out OF the air men
seize It on either side and settle It down
into position and the next moment a
wagon backs into It, Men knock out the
| tailboard, the driver dumps the load
and in q moment men are hooking
on the chains. AS the pan rises another
man hooks on the trip line and then
away goes the loaded pan soaring ov.r
the scow. There are loaded wagons
coming here all the time. and you hear
all the time the hum OF ore or OF

thing here not to see one or two pans

place OF activity.

III feet to the bump or jumping off
place. From here the natural hill drops
as many feet in the same distance and
at the bottom is drawn the dead line
beyond which a fall counts against the
rider. Then comes short, quick rise
to retard the skier somewhat, though
he must still throw his skis sideways
and even on edge in order to stop short
of the guide ropes. This performance
requires considerable skill. and is al

modest riders, and the more so on ac-
count OF the danger of landing in the
slush at the far end.

THE earth excavated from the site
Of the new Equitable building and
from the new subway under
Church street is carried away in big
scows that are loaded at the bulkhead
sdl.in!ng Pier II, East River. between
Wa, street and Old sip. The manner
OF loading these scows shows how mod

ordinarily scows are loaded with re-
fuse material from a dumping board
which is an elevated platform built out
from the street. or from a wharf. over
the water.
This Is the most economical and EN-

present case permission could not be
obtained for the erection Of one at the

CHILD LABOR ls PASSING.
Evil Often Due to lnterperance |,
Beina Abolished.

Secretary Owen r. Lovejoy, of the
National Child Labor Committee, has
recently issued a statement showing
that in the past ten years every state
in the union has amended or put into
effect a child labor law or a compul-
sorry school attendance law which op.
crates as such. Ten years back only
sixteen states had laws making four.
teen years the age limit below which
children could not be used in indus
tries. Now all the states excepting
eight have reached this standard.
Only fourteen states now permit
night work for children, although
only seven had~such laws in 1904.
In a letter to the Temperance So
ciety of the Methodist Church, MI.
LOvejOy says:
Intemperanes the Cause.
II am very sure that a large per.
centage of child labor is due to the
intemperance of parents, and almost
equally sure that intemperance and
other vicious habits are the direct
outgrowth of neglected and overwork.
