OIL. .I. s.
Thus the volume Of water which has flowed
this year through the crevasses, could not have
been retained within the bed Of the Mississippi,
unless by an increase of OIL in the deciivity at
the surface of the river Therefore in order to
have prevented the waters from ovcrfiowlng,
it would have been necessary to have raised the
evees at every point 0,4l of the height which
the river attains in this spot above the level of
the gulf This would have been 8 feet 3 inches
additional height on the levees at New Orleans,
where the river rises Is feet inches above the
level of the ocean. r .a
But admitting that before the rise Of the waters,
the ievees had been constructed on the basis In
dicated in the foregoing calculation, the work
would at least have been superfluous one. Now
supposing the levees to have been erected with
all the solidity imaginable, they would inevita-
bly, have been destroyed by the pressure Of water
in those localities most exposed to the action of
the current They could never have supported
pressure equal to double at least Of what they
had ordinarily borne, nor the impulse of current
of twice the usual strength and velocity. The
banks Of the river scarcely possess cohesive pow
er enough to re,ast the abrasion caused by a eur
rent passing along at the rate of so per second

Now the average velocity Of water in contracted
and sinuous currents which like these have great
depth in proportion TO their width is according TO
the multiplied experience Of D,s5uat, Prony, Entct

The average velocity therefore Of these branches

The water Of the Mississippi, owing 10 the
effects Of Shreeve's Racourci, does not enter the
AtchafaIaya until the river has risen upwards Of
IS feet at the mouth of Red Eiver. Ii does not
enter Bayou Plaquemine until after rise Of six
feet at this point, and the month of Bayou La
fourche is dry at the period Of the very lowest
wafer in the river. Thus the volume Of water
which feeds the branches of the river, is that only
which flows above the level Of the lowest wafer,
and as its velocity is about $50 feet per second il
will be perceived that the Mississippi cannot
abandon its actual course in which the current is
stronger than in its branches. Il could have this
tendency only, if the surface Of the transyersal
