The Youth's Instructor for 1949 INSTRUCTOR IT only for the scrap heap." And to F the scrap heap it goes. The word of the boss carpenter is law. His judgment decides the disposition of each doubtful piece of lumber. Not only is he boss, but he is the owner as well. He bought the material. The finished building will be his. Since lumber is expensive he is not likely to consign to the scrap heap any usable piece. Now the boss carpenter is up on the roof. I am what you might call "ground man." Selecting boards, squaring the ends, and handing them up is my job. Some- times I have to rip a board to a certain width, sometimes hand up nails or tools. But ever and again down will come a board, usually small, with the order: "Throw that into the scrap heap." In between my other jobs I pick up the small pieces of lumber scattered around on the ground. For some I can find use; others are worthless, and to the scrap heap they go. They are of several kinds: 1. Too short. I pick up a straight- grained piece, and mourn because it is too short for any practical use. In every other respect it will meet all requirements. But it is just a little too short. It makes me think of some folks I know—good neigh- bors, straight, morally sound, but still they fall short of the divine requirements. The T. K. MARTIN. ARTIST Master Carpenter, up above, mourns too when He sees the makings of a Paul, an I Wonder—Did the Youthful Jesus Think Elijah, a Moses, or a John the Baptist in These Thoughts Too as He Toiled in the Humble Carpenter Shop at Nazareth? such a person. For that person is just a bit too short. He lacks faith in God, without which "it is impossible to please him." So, in spite of the fact that he has been purchased at great expense—the precious blood of Christ—to the scrap heap he must go. The rich young ruler is a case in point. He could not believe that following Christ could possibly give him enough soul satis- faction to compensate him for his loss of Take a Look at That wealth and prestige. So he went away from his interview with Jesus sorrowful, and no further mention is made of him. Without doubt he, with many others who allow avarice to crowd Christ out of their hearts, CRAP HEAT will be found in the spiritual scrap heap. 2. Too narrow. Usually the narrow strips that are ripped from the wide boards go into the scrap heap. They do not have the By E. LORENA LOSEY strength we desire for this house of ours.

  • Analysis of Rockfall Hazards
    Analysis of rockfall hazards Introduction Rockfalls are a major hazard in rock cuts for highways and railways in mountainous terrain. While rockfalls do not pose the same level of economic risk as large scale failures which can and do close major transportation routes for days at a time, the number of people killed by rockfalls tends to be of the same order as people killed by all other forms of rock slope instability. Badger and Lowell (1992) summarised the experience of the Washington State Department of Highways. They stated that ‘A significant number of accidents and nearly a half dozen fatalities have occurred because of rockfalls in the last 30 years … [and] … 45 percent of all unstable slope problems are rock fall related’. Hungr and Evans (1989) note that, in Canada, there have been 13 rockfall deaths in the past 87 years. Almost all of these deaths have been on the mountain highways of British Columbia. Figure 1: A rock slope on a mountain highway. Rockfalls are a major hazard on such highways Analysis of rockfall hazards Figure 2: Construction on an active roadway, which is sometimes necessary when there is absolutely no alternative access, increases the rockfall hazard many times over that for slopes without construction or for situations in which the road can be closed during construction. Mechanics of rockfalls Rockfalls are generally initiated by some climatic or biological event that causes a change in the forces acting on a rock. These events may include pore pressure increases due to rainfall infiltration, erosion of surrounding material during heavy rain storms, freeze-thaw processes in cold climates, chemical degradation or weathering of the rock, root growth or leverage by roots moving in high winds.

  • In Mr. Knox's Country
    In Mr. Knox's Country By Martin Ross IN MR. KNOX'S COUNTRY I THE AUSSOLAS MARTIN CAT Flurry Knox and I had driven some fourteen miles to a tryst with one David Courtney, of Fanaghy. But, at the appointed cross-roads, David Courtney was not. It was a gleaming morning in mid-May, when everything was young and tense and thin and fit to run for its life, like a Derby horse. Above us was such of the spacious bare country as we had not already climbed, with nothing on it taller than a thorn-bush from one end of it to the other. The hill-top blazed with yellow furze, and great silver balls of cloud looked over its edge. Nearly as white were the little white-washed houses that were tucked in and out of the grey rocks on the hill-side. "It's up there somewhere he lives," said Flurry, turning his cart across the road; "which'll you do, hold the horse or go look for him?" I said I would go to look for him. I mounted the hill by a wandering bohireen resembling nothing so much as a series of bony elbows; a white-washed cottage presently confronted me, clinging, like a sea-anemone, to a rock. I knocked at the closed door, I tapped at a window held up by a great, speckled foreign shell, but without success. Climbing another elbow, I repeated the process at two successive houses, but without avail. All was as deserted as Pompeii, and, as at Pompeii, the live rock in the road was worn smooth by feet and scarred with wheel tracks.

  • Dracula's Guest
    The Coming of Abel Behenna by Bram Stoker This story was brought to you by: www.bramstoker.org This document is in the Public Domain *** The little Cornish port of Pencastle was bright in the early April, when the sun had seemingly come to stay after a long and bitter winter. Boldly and blackly the rock stood out against a background of shaded blue, where the sky fading into mist met the far horizon. The sea was of true Cornish hue-sapphire, save where it became deep emerald green in the fathomless depths under the cliffs, where the seal caves opened their grim jaws. On the slopes the grass was parched and brown. The spikes of furze bushes were ashy grey, but the golden yellow of their flowers streamed along the hillside, dipping out in lines as the rock cropped up, and lessening into patches and dots till finally it died away all together where the sea winds swept round the jutting cliffs and cut short the vegetation as though with an ever-working aerial shears. The whole hillside, with its body of brown and flashes of yellow, was just like a colossal yellow-hammer. The little harbour opened from the sea between towering cliffs, and behind a lonely rock, pierced with many caves and blow-holes through which the sea in storm time sent its thunderous voice, together with a fountain of drifting spume. Hence, it wound westwards in a serpentine course, guarded at its entrance by two little curving piers to left and right. These were roughly built of dark slates placed endways and held together with great beams bound with iron bands.
