The experiment of damming the
headwaters of the Mississippi at adj :
vantageous points, in order to accumu-
late a store of water sufficient to keep
the lower rivers at a navigable stage
during the summer months, is a par
TALLY demonstrated success. Three
dams, commenced in 1882, were COM
pleted for use this year, with storage
capacity in the natural lake reservoirs
for holding the surplus water of U.s.
O0O, 900, 900 cubic feet. The basin
drained into these reservoirs covers an
era of over 5000 square miles. When
the water below st. Paul fell SO as to
interrupt navigation in the beginning
Of August, the supply in the reservoirs
was drawn upon and the river kept at
a navigable stage. After the reservoir
system is completed it will have the
double value of checking to some ex-
tent the disastrous foods in the upper
river when there is too much water
and eking out the supply when there
is too little.-Ex.

DANGERS or HIGH HOUSES.

Tall apaTtment-houses are condemned by san
rarians on various grounds. In the first place,
they prevent free admission OF air ana sun
light To the streets and houses adjacent. when
the street is 90 feet wide building 100 feet
high will cast shadow 10 feet high on the OPP
pOsite side, with the sun thirty degrees above
the horizon a building 112 feet high casts
shadow of 90 feet; building 1913 feet high
one Of 81 feet As ordinary city residences do
not exceed 80 feet in height, these great build
ings cut of surrounding property from large
share of the sunlight that is so essential TO life
and comfort The street in front often remains
in the shadow during great part of the day,
and consequently is both dark and damp.
Even the cleanest street requires copious sup
plies of sunlight, and the disnfectiOn of dirty
streets cannot go on uninterruptedly when
they are constantly overshadowed by great
piles of masonry. Not only are the streets aud
houses opposite rendered gloomy and I'M
healthy but the free circulation OF air is inter
fered with, and the usual currents of house
ventilation are reversed. Chmneys frequently
will not draw unless they are Iun up To n great
height, ard vertical ventilating shafts and llues
fail to perform their proper functions. In these
and other respects tall apartment houses are
source of danger, injury. and Inconvenience to
the owners and tenants OF surrounding property.
In like manner those who live in these high
houses are exposed to serious danger from a
sanitary point of view. The weight OF these
immense masses of stone brick and mortar is so
great that no matter how strong may be the
foun latons the walls inevitably settle As a
result there is n tremendous strain on the sys-
tenn of plumbing and drain pipes, and wherever
there is u break or lOosening of the joints
sewer gas is conducted and distributed from
story to story by means of the interior air
shafts Those occupying the lower floors must
content themselves with small proportion of
the health giving sunshine which their bodies
and minds equally require, and those who dwell
anywhere between the fourth and the thirteenth
must take the risks of having foul air and the
germs of disease conveyed into their bedrooms
and bathrooms by means of the interior lines of
piping and wells.
The dangers from fire in houses which are
practically beyond the control of tho fremen
with the present sources of water supply cannot
be lightly considered. Experienced officials
connected with the Fire Department agree that
building seventy-fve feet high in the resi-
dence districts OF tho city can barely be pro-
tected in case of fire; that this is the maximum
point of safety and that buildings above this
height are outside the control of the firemen in
critical emergencies. observation-disclosures from
100 to $50 feet high are not only themselves
exposed to great danger in case of fire, but with
their overhanging walls they also imperil sur
rounding property. These are few of tho
| arguments in favor of limiting by law the
height of apartment-houses in New York.
