FEATS OF SWISS SOLDIERS. rheir Mountain Olimbing and Mili tary Engineering. While all the European countries whose boundaries extbnd to the 'backbone" of Europe have divi sions of their armies composed of ,roops trained especially for manoeu vres among the mountains the Swiss soldier probably excels all others as in Alpinist; nor is this strange, says the Scientific American, when it is remembered that practically all of this little republic is situated in the icart of the Alps, and much of it is ibove the cloud line. In a country 'whore the hiEhway nay lead over summits 10,000 feet Ahove sea level, where gladiers may Je more esaily -o-ed than the ordi iary road, hccial instruction In nountaincering is absolutely neces ;ary as a branch of military tactics. 3nee the Swiss soldier is as familiar with the alpenstock as h is with his rifle and moves about. on skies as cjuickly and skillfuly as the Swede or Torwegian. While numerically the Swiss army is relativelv large, 4-onsisting of over 150,000 meon incelt0itg all branches of the ser"ico, its jWi: * fight in u1i , 1!y rimrh Some of the feats which are perforIled by the various coinian(ds are notable be cause they .would be impossible for soldiers in other portions of Europe. During winter as well as summer the Swiss soldier frequently journeys from post to post the snow filled passes amiongiii tihe 0igues ny,.,, a 11 ready stated. f)ftenl erossing glaciers aind snow fields of great. extent. In dlescending a mounWain glissadin-, with the aid of skis is common. Tour ists in Switzerland somet iines witness the novel sight of an eltir battalion slidin'g down an incline at great speed, yet without a mnanl losing his balance. At the end of the glissale each soldier iiniedilitely takes his place in the raiks, ready for the march. So much has been written and said ,f the prowess of the tourist guides in 'Rwitzerland tlat tile abil'ity of the ;oldier in clitln)ing ldiffienlt "kaks is omparatively little known. Tn exe euting certain orders the men are sometimes rekluired to climb mountain slopes :- the Ic ae and the rope ire absolutely necessary, but iII ad dition to these appliances they must carry rifles, possibly haversacks as well, thus making the ascent even more difficult and perilous. Aq may he imnagined engineering work from a military standpoint forms a most important part of Al pine tactics. One work of tile en xineer is the construction of pontoon bridges of suitable size and strength to permit the passage not only of foot soldiers but of cavalry if necessary tind even of field artillery. When It is reme'mbered that the mountain streams of this country are notable for their swift current and the rapid rise and fall ini the volumne of wvater it wvill he recognized that the task of engineer is far more arduous and haz ardous than in the lowlands where the streams to b)e crossed have compara lively little velocity. Bridge building however, is a p)art of the manoeuvres frequently carried out. The pontoons, mere flatboats are arranged obviously according te the strength of the current and the depth of the water. At times it is necessary fo place them but a few feet apart, but if the current is no0t too strong they are anchored at dis tanees ranging from ten to fifteen feet of each other, the bows, of course, p)oi1ting upstr'eam, soeurely anchored by heavy weights. As fast as the pontoons are secured longi. tudinal timb)ers are laid across them. These ''b)alks'' are secured in place~ by rop)e lashings made fast to cleats in the pontoons sometimes by means of bolts or pins which can be quickly adjusted. The beams average about five ichecs in thickness and are maude of seasonmed ihnhber so that they are not affected by dampness of the wveather., Uponi t.bem is p)laced the flooring of thme bridge, consisting of planks1( rang ing from one inch to one and one-half inches in thekness and measuing about a foot ini width. Tt is a fact that no nails whatever arer used in fastening the planking to the beams, the fastening being done by rope lashing, so that the super structure of the bridge can b)e taken apart immediately after the troops have crossed. Side rails, laid along each end of the flooring and lashed directly to the pontoons, act as a rein forcement to the strength of the structure. Such a bridgo will support a wveight of at least 100 pounds to every square foot. The width depends upon the size of the stream and th'e number of men, b)ut usually the Swiss lpridges do not exceed ten feet in "'idthu, per mitting, the passage of' in.aastry in columns of fours, as well as batteries and field pieces drawn by horses. The pontoons are also utilized inde pendently of bridge work for cross ing the mountain streams, especially in moving artillery. The gun is de tached,from the carriage, and the equipment loaded aboard the boat. A squad of artillerymen then man it, and the horses for drawing the gun carriage and caisson are forced to swim across being held by some of the men in the pontoon. Thus the Swiss soldier is drilled not only in Alpine work, but as a water man, for it is frequently necessary to cross rivers at points where there are no permanent or temporary bridges, and the use of the oar is as essential as the use of the alpenstoek.
