ENGINEER REPORT
WEIGHS 5 POUNDS
Volume Contains z, 1893 Pages
and Can Be Read in
81 Hours.
BY WILLIAM HARD.

A merry and crisp little bit of holiday
has been provided to the national public
by the chief of engineers of the United
States Army in his annual report, which
is never sufficiently reviewed by the
high-brow literary reviewers.
This year the contribution of the
chief of engineers to the bellies lettres
OF the United States is GA inches long.
bs4 inches broad and 3h inches thick,
and weighs S pound and Az ounces in
one continuous narrative and calcula-
ton, inclosed in one volume.
We all ought to read more about our
Government, and the chief of engineers
thinks so. This new little work of his,
which he has just recently tossed of
contains 2,198 pages, devoted partly to
words and partly to figures. The total
number of words and figures in it, by
a long and arduous process of approx
mate estimate, has been found by local
mathematicians to be in the neighbor-
hood of 1,133,845.
Devoted to Improvements.
The whole work is devoted to odes
and ballads in engineering prose on the
various improvements to which the
rivers and canals and waterways and
water courses and harbors and inlets
and creeks of the United States are
being subjected by the Corps of Engi-
neers of the United States Army in
obedience to various acts of Congress.
The total number of such rivers. canals,
waterways. water courses, harbors, inlets
and canals thus obtaining improvements
at Federal cost will be found by any
oiltgent and surviving reader to be 693.
In order to find this out, reading at
the rate of 200 words and figures to the
minute, which is a good, rapid rate. and
persevering through the / lbs, S45 words
and figures which this report contains
the reader will have spent "a hours upon
the task. Assuming that the reading
citizen has two hours every evening to
spare for reading this one Federal lit
erary work alone will suffice him for the
next AZ evenings of his life.
The Government Printing ONCE. this
writer learns, will send this work to
any citizen for SITS. Considering that
the work weighs 5 pounds and Az
ounces, it Is manifest that the thrifty
buyer will in this way obtain reading
matter of highly authentic variety at
. cost Of less than "a cents a pound.
From beginning to end the writing
In this volume is composed of snappy
Federal observations, such as, on page
1862:
"A northerly rubble-mound break

Language such as this will indicate
to the citizen more clearly than could

which Federal officials have their being,

CHAPTER VI

During the excitement fol-
lowing this discovery. which
put the harassed county Of
ficials into more of a muddle
than ever, Robin Dale took oc-
casion to send Alan knight
into the village to dispatch a
telegram to New York. 1t was
addressed to the city editor of
the Daily Journal. The con-
tents of the telegram mystified
young Knight, but Dale Only
smiled and told him to get it
off and insist upon having it
rushed through.
The body of Mrs. Nash was
brought into the house. When
everyone had assembled it was
suddenly discovered that, dur
ing the excitement, no one had
noticed the absence Of Kenneth
Nash! Calls were sent for HIM
in all directions and finally all
mounted to the upper floor.
The door leading into the
Nash room was found unlocked.
Westervelt opened it and strode
inside. 1t was empty, and,
strangely enough, the center
lights were still fully ablaze
and the window shades were
down. These were quickly
snapped up and the lights
switched off. In the center Of
the room was a quite Slzeable
table. On it was a key. In
searching for Nash, Westervelt
came to the closet door ard
found it to be locked!
Dale, having spotted the key,
went quickly to the closet and.
