wholly due to the fact that this partic-

of an interruption Of the traffic from

places the rock wall is solid. but close

smiled at the canal engineers phrase
Of the angle Of repose,' but 1t is really
that which determines safety at each
point where there has been giving
way. and in no two places will it be
alike. Another factor is that some of
the rocks actually harden when expos
ed to water. while some of the earths-
as in the stuff coming down at Gold
hill-take up water and becomes field
mud at once.
