Heavy Dikes Which Are Built by the
Winds Themselves.
(From the Engineering Magazine.)
Appreciating the fact that the high
chalk cliffs of England are no pro-1
Lection against the sea, the Dutch en- ,
glneers did not attempt to place an
artificial vertical wall against, thai
waves and the storm tides, but coaxed
the sea to deposit its sands on the
shore and so build it up, rather thai,
throw them Inland, and then, hungry
for more, eat into the shore. They
believed it best to satisfy Us appetite,
but Induced it to toy with the sands
which Its own Hood currents and waves
bring from other shores and from the
Ofling depths. The sand thus deposited
blows, in the gules, over the Inland
country. The engineers Induced It. to
stop and built a barrier for them
against the sea. One of the heaviest
dikes along the const was built by the
winds themselves.
The sand formed between the jetties
bee unes dry in sunny weather, and the
surface Is blown ashore when the wind
is in that dlrecton. It was desired to
build a strong dike to connect with the
sand dunes. This was accomplished
by s.ettlng in the sand In rows about a
foot apart tufts of dune sea grass near
by. The tufts were placed about a
foot apart?simply little haudfuls of
grass. The place for each tuft was dug
out with the hands, the tuft set into It
and the sand pressed around it. , The
whole surface of the dry, sandy beach
above high tide was covered with this
plantation, and just back of It, at the
highest point of the existing sandy
area, one or two rows of reeds were
