Orleans were flooded in the same way as in
1885.
Flood of i196-The Teehe river overffowed
its banks for sixty miles above New iberia,
and poured into Grand Lake in smooth
sheet Of water. The lake at this date at
tanned its highest level, being two feet five
inches higher than in 1923, six feet eight
higher than the ordinary level of the gulf
food in 1898. In this year the cities of St.
Louis and New Orleans were again flooded
in the month of April as in 1855 and 1871.
Flood of 1904 most disastrous food,
according to the notes of Governor Sargent.
1t inundated all the plantations near
Natchez, and destroyed all the crops. At
Natchez this flood was one foot six inches
below that of 1885, and two feet one inch
below 1893. the highest ever known there.
The time OF highest flood was May.
Flood Of l8ll.-There was q great flood
this ckcnridge-During this in
undatiOn much damage was done by the
water rushing through the unrepaired rents
in the levee. Governor Sargent places this
flood as being, at Natchez, where he made
his observations, one foot five inches below
the high water of 1915. The highest flood
was in June.
Flood of 1Sl3.-The same facts as recorded
of 1911, but the water was six to eight
inches higher than that year.
Flood Of lSl5.-A very great flood. At
the mouth of the Ohio it attained the high
est point ever reached; two feet above the
high water mark of 1858. The highest flood
was on the ninth day Of April. It was due
to a general coincidence of rises in the
upper tributaries of the Mississippi At
Narchez Governor Sargent states that the
highest flood was on the twenty second day
of June, whereas the highest food ut Cairo.
at the mouth Of the Ohio, was seventy four
DAYS previous. 1t was two inches higher
at Natchez than any recorded flood, save
1858. On this occasion, very fortunately.

leVee save earth. There is no stone below
Vicksburg, save at Natchez, the whole i'm
mense stretch of the banks being nothing
save alluvium. Down below this substance
there is, indeed, an inexhaustible supply OF
blue aluminous clay, which would be q
very. efficient matter for covering the front
OF the levees as the Hollanders do with
their dykes of bituminous eartn. But there
are difficulties in obtaining this which seem
almost insurmountable.
The system of cut-otfs has been prc.
hounced impossible as regards the Missis.
sppi be very good enthusiastically
Humphreys and Abbott. The general idea
of the cutoff is TO shorten q river by
strengthening it. This is done by cutting
through the bends. OF course it is obvious
that to d o this with any hope of benefit, it
would be absolutely necessary to make the
the cuts from the beginning to the end.
The expense would naturally be some
thing enormous, and it is more than doubt
full if the experiment would succeed. It
was tried in the River Arno, by the famous
Italian engineer Vivian, in the latter part
of the seventeenth century. Without going
into detail, it may be recorded that he laid
it down as a first principle that it was requi-
site to traverse and obstruct the course
of the ArnO in whatever way it could be
effected. and to compel this river to deposit
its gravel and large stones in its upper bed.
To do this he narrowed and Strengthened it.
He shortened it three miles above Florence
and one mile below, and the consequence
was the bed of tho river was indubita-
bly, raised, ard the stones and gravel
were carried down further than ever
before. Now, the Inevitable conse-
quence of the rise in the bottom of q
river is that there will be greater height
of the waters in floods, a difficulty in pro-
lower part of the stream, and an absolute
necessity for . very thorough system of
high levees. 1t Is clear, moreover, that the
Mississippi can not be handled in any such
