Landslides.

The lot of the engineer is happier
than the policeman's, to be sure, but
he also has his troubles. Sometimes
they are very big and expensive
troubles like Col. Cocktails land slides
at Panama, and sometimes they are
merely bothersome, like Maj. Fries's
landslides in the Yellowstone.
Maj. Fries is the War Department
engineer whose work on the Yellow
stone roads made it possible for
Secretary Lane to open the National
Park to motorists this last summer.
He has had his big troubles, too, and
plenty more ahead before he gets
Yellowstone's $50 miles of road sur
faced and oiled for the good days that
are coming.
The majors landslide is really not
much of an affair, but, as the road
system is narrow and a stoppage any
where will become, if not instantly
repaired, something OF a disaster in a
very short time, it stirs up feelings
out of all proportion to its size. Gangs
have to be called from other work
and hustled to the spot at as nearly
f~ire-engine speed as numbering repair
carts and Government horses can ac-
compiish, A hose cart and service
engine help out the smile.
The hill which every now and then,
always, of course, at the most incon-
venient time, slides down over the
road, is composed of gravel and loose
conglomerate rock, streaked with
yellow slippery clay. There is a grea'
to-do to shovel it off. Meanwhile the
engine has been set up and a heavy
stream of water at 70 pounds pressure
is played on the earth above, SO as tt
wash down as much of the stuff al
possible while they are at it and thu
strengthen the interval to the next
slide; but at that the hill sometimes
fools them and slides off soon after
ward in quite another spot.
Maj. Fries has to endure this nuts.
ance as best he may, because the ex'
pense of digging away the hill or re.
placing the road elsewhere forbids {
permanent cure.

enter, there to sing u Redeemer's
praises, in a day that never ends.
But, mother dear, we cannot see you,
Tho we see your vacant chair,
And our hearts are almost broken,
For we cannot see you here.
How we miss your loving smiles,
Your sweet words, and kind en-

Oh, we a never find another,
So dear to US as your sweet face.

The Oyster Bay four ausher is fishing
