FLOOD SIGNALS.

To THE EDITOR or TaR HERALD
The terrible loss OF life and property in France
from sudden hoods, with less destructive put con-
stantly recurring foundations in nearly all parts
OF Europe and America, ought to arouse the pub
lie mind OF the two countries to the adoption OF
some means by which these great calamitIes TO
mankind may be measurably sverted. 1t Is a dis
grace to this inventive age that othing has as
yet been done, either by the local authorities, the
press or by any government to give warning OF
such sudden hoods when the means are all at
hand and only require to be put into operation.
This constantly recurring destruction proves
that the telegraph alone is inadequate to give
suitable warning OF sudden foods but the tee-
graph with sound signal would do 1t completely.
On all rapid rivers liable TO sudden foods let a
cannon be placed at each Town, In charge of some
reliable person, fire company or some town
oficial, TO be used as a hood signal When heavy
rain is falling let the telegraph operators along
the river keep up continual communication
mood IL found to be Inevitable let the signal sta
lions be ordered 10 fire their cannon.
Three guns, at ten minutes interval, may be
hred as generally pubBhGd neVd signal, TO be
repeated every one, two or threo hours while tne
danger continues. These signals would be heard
valleys and bottoms on both banks OF the river
throughout It's enure length, giving instant and
which means men, women ana children,
cattle and much movable property could be
removed 70 places OF safety or secured from

graph line the warning can be gwen with the
cannon alone, fired from station 10 station, by
sound. AT dams, all OF when are liable to break
by Moods, carrying destruction throughout the
village below, cannon should be placed TO give

The cost OF this plan would be the merest tribe
