Hebalances himself erect on the buckingtripod or sits gracefully on a projectingseat like the outrigger of a sailing canoe.The pulsation and din of his machine donot move him. The spurting plume ofsteam sometimes half conceals him; hesits reposeful but alert. Derricks carrytheir loads over his head.

Hemakes no gallery play for the benefit ofthe onlookers who all day long line thebrink of the yawning excavation. Hisattention is given to the quivering ma-chine beneath him. Without him andhis brothers the Panama Canal couldnever have come. Here is a hero ofpeace—steadfast, unassuming, and mas-terful.—Collier^s. Baltimore AND OhioEmployes Magazine
