CAPTURE THE Gun

Commodore Gerry's Opinion On the esb.
Scct-- Dimensions and Chsrncterissics -
the vaikyrie-why Was she OstsstisA
By the Ysrnaa7-Thc Trial Races.
The natural result Of the past three
years races between English and Ameri-
can yachts--a result that might be ex-
pected-seems at last TO have come to
pass. Each side has observed the ad-
vantagcs Of tho others models and the
defects of its own. Consequently model
involving the best points Of both has
been evolved, and Is common one TO
each OF the contestants.
When the first of the international
races which have excited 30 much atten-
ton during tho past few years came of,
there was a wide difference between the
yachts. The English yacht was cum
bersomc wedge, bearing some such rela-
ton To the yacht Of toAay as an Eight
ccnth century coach would bear to .
modern phaeton. Tho American yacht
Is best illustrated by the slang name
given it--a skimming dish. She rode on
the surface of the water and relied en-
tircly ON her centerboard for bracing
against tho wind. All the yachts Of
these models were abandoned as soon a.
tho races were over, and the owners,
whether winner or loser, betook them
selves to preparing better model.
Naturally the new boat evolved from
all this experience favored the models of
tho winning yachts. It is tho American
typo which prevails. Since the defeat
Of the Gcnesta the wedge model has been
out Of date in England. and as for the
skimming dish style, 1t also has gone out
In America. True, tho American yacht
OF today still retains the centerboard,
but the bottom is not nearly 80 fiat as IL
was. Tho only pcrceptible difference
between the national types today Is that
tho keel in tho latest type Of English
yacht, the valkyrie, Is mere fin Of iron
TO he used rs circumstances may require.
Considering this similarity of model it
seems quite likely that international
races hereafter will not bo so especially
interesting as test of model rs Of sea-
manship. Tho races will probably he
much closer than formerly, and the dam
ger Of losing tho Americas cup far
greater. This will render the contests
more exciting, and II the cup goea 70

Frightfnl Scenes When the Neva Over.
flowed Its Banks.
Especial Correspondence
New YORK, juno 13.-The flood that
overwhelmed st. Petersburg was not
quite so terribly sudden as this Cone
maugh one. but 1t was fully as de-
structive, and to this day you may see
on many Of tho great Russian public
buildings red line, with the date eth
November, 1924" marking tho height Of
the water on that fatal morning. For
three days previous tho waters of the
Neva, swollen high by sudden thaw,
had been driven back by the furious
west wind that was blowing with ever
increasing violence up the Gulf Of Fin
land; and as the river rose, the alarm
guns kept booming through the howling
storm all night long from the citadel,
while through the darkness the red glare
Of signal lanterns Lit up every watch
tower. A few took fright and fled with
what property they could save, but the
greater number stayed and met their
doom. .'...
Just at daybreak on the morning Of
the fatal 7th those whose houses looked
down upon the great open space of the
Admiralty plain (Which flanks the river)
were awakened by hollow rumbling
like distant thunder, and soon the solid
ground below them melted into q sea of
leaping, glittering, foaning water, on
which wagons, bargcs, casks, sentry
boxes, bundles Of hay and shattered
timbers were whirled along like straws,
together with drowning horses, men and
oxen, whose cries swelled dismally the
universal uproar, Then the three great
canals burst their banks, and on went
the flood in one mighty wave through
every street and lane, till fully two
thirds of the city was under water.
And now the tragedy began in earnest.

ibank began TO shake beneath the batter

PROPOSED QUAKER BRIDGE DAM.
The aqueduct commences in northern
Wales, high up in the mountains, where,
crossing the upper part Of the vymwy
valley, an immense dam has been erected
to collect tho water Of the river which
gives the name TO the valley. The lake
Is four and three-fourths miles long and
half o mile wide. Tho area covered BY
IL amounts to 1,121 acres. The city Of
Liverpool had to buy tho village Of
Llanwyddin, together with the church
parsonage and cemetery, before the work
could be commenced, and where for
centuries generation after generation
had spent their lives, tho waves arc
now curling under the influence of the
breeze. The greatest depth of the lake
will be 81 feet, and the waters here col.
lected will amount to 12, 131 ,00V, 900 gal
Ions. This artificial lake is the greatest
lake which Wales possesses. The length
of this giant dam which closes up the
valley is LIE feet. At tho base it ia
100 feet wide. The height from the
foundation to the carriage road on top
is 16l feet; from the bed Of the river,
101 feet The dam contains not less
than 100000 cubic yards Of masonry,
which weighs 500, 200 tons.
Before the water leaves the lake it Is
carefully filtered in tower 100 feet
high. For miles the water must be con-
Quoted subterraneously under rivers,
lakes and hills. Then again, when the
topography requires it, the water must be
lifted by hydraulic pressure and siphons.
Between the Vyrnwy lake and Liverpool
there have been built for this purpose a
number of reservoirs, which can contain
immense masses of water, SO that even
If there should be an obstruction at the
commencement of the aqueduct Liver
pool would not suffer any interruption
in its water supply. An important part
of the aqueduct is the tunnel under the
river Mcrsey, which is 900 feet long. On
the left side of the river the water is con-
Quoted in steel pipes down n shaft 68
feet long into the tunnel to ascend again
on the right side in similar pipes for 1O4
tho basin from which takes place the
distribution over Liverpool.
Tho cost Of this gigantic enterprise,
which is justly designated triumph Of
modern engineering, will probably
amount to over 81, ,000, ,00O-S SEQ, 900 ,00O
The proposed Quaker Bridge reservoir
for New York city would exceed this in
volume of water, but the engineering
difficulties would DO much less. The
weight of opinion among the best engi-
neers is that the scheme is perfectly prac-
xhr,I h., l.,
fectly safe.
1t should be noted that the dam above
Johnstown, though rather poor earthen
affair, did not "burst," as the common
phrase goes-it wore or washed away

PRACTICAL HINTS IN FlORlCULTURE.

How and When to Water Plants-Necessity
Of Ventilation, C1eauliness and Sunlight.
The failures so often experienced in
the cultivation of flowers are largely
due to the fact that we try to do too
much, that our gardens are too large and
not sufficiently cared for. Noone should
have more ground devoted to a garden
that can be kept in tho highest state Of
cultivation. Tho same may be said Of
house plants or plants kept within doors
during the winter. Too often do we sec
many plants crowded together IN poor
ly lighted window, compelling each
plant to take on form never intended
by nature and foliage quite different
from that desired by the owner. One Of
tho chief requisites in management Of
house plants Is plenty Of sunshine. Next
is an atmosphere neither too dry nor too
close and u uniform temperature dover
at night than during the day..
Some practical hints as to water
ing have been recently summed up az
follows by an authority In such mat
ters: Rain water Is ,better than spring
or we'll water. Hard water may be
greatly improved by adding a drop or
two Of ammonia or a little soda, a
small nugget about the size Of a pea
to every gallon Of water used. As
to time Of day, morning is tho best,
and next is tho evening. Never water
house plants when tho sun is shining
brightly upon them; the supply of water
must bo regulated according to the de-
mands of the plant; the condition Of tho
plant and Of the soil Is the best guide.
Never give water when the soil is moist
to tho touch. Nearly all plants require
more water when In bloom than at any
other time, more in q warm temperature
than in a cold, and more when in a state
Of active growth than when at rest.
Plants in open rooms usually require
water once day, and some demand it
twice, at any rate all should be exam
ined with interest to water at least
every day.
Cleanliness is essential. The leaves Of
plants should be kept free from dust,
hence frequent washings are absolutely
essential, although when watering never
wet tho flowers Of a plant nor allow drops
of water to stand on the leaves i'm the
sunshine. Never allow water to stand
in the saucers Of the pots unless the
plants are semi-aquatic. Watering is at
least two fold. 1t supplies plants food
or elements of fertility contained in itself,
and converts the plant food or nourish-
ment of the soil into liquid form, so
that it may be absorbed by the roots.
The roots OF a plant must be kept moist,
not wet.
When the drainage is the most perfect
plants will generally be the healthiest,
. and will need watering the oftenest.
Give house plants AS much light as pos
sible during the day, and darkness with
lower temperature at night. Plants
require rest; a uniform temperature of
GO or 10 degs. In the daytime and 40 TO
40 degs. at night will give tho best re-
suits. Turning the plants toward the
light should not be done, unless done
regularly. Besides light, house plants
require good supply of fresh air. Ven
tilation is absolutely necessary.

There Is nothing very definite In the

Ircx, all met during tho last Of May In q

tho third. fourth and fifth races. All

SECTIONS OF THE BROKEN DAM.

SECTIONS OF THE BROKEN DAM.
The Mississippi at Hannibal City is cx-
actly mile wide at ordinary level, and
this proposed reservoir would maintain
the river volume and current there for
over two hours. The giving way of such
a dam, the sweep of such q mass Of wa
ter down the narrow Croton valley and
its sudden addition to the Hudson are
not TO be thought of without a shiver.
1t would, SO some calculators estimate,
send q tidal wave down that stream
which'would crush most of the shipping
and sweep away all the docks on that
side of New York, then, after swelling
the bay and concentrating again at the
pass. would tear out Sandy Hook and
sweep its sands into deep ocean. The
promoting engineers smile and say there
need not be the slightest danger.
They propose that tho dam shall be
1900 feet long, PA feet high, ZIG feet
wide at the base and 90 on the top, and
80 constructed as to sustain twice the
pressure Of the 100, ,00O, 900 tons of water,
the most that can accumulate. Their
specification is, briefly solid masonry laid
in hydraulic cement, with ample over.
fall in the center. Nothing can iniure
1t. they say, but an earthquake, and that
could only produce cracks In the ma
sOnry, through which the waters would
escape slowly, the base being too great
for the dam 20 topple down In proof
they cite the old Spanish dams at Puen-
tes. Alicante and Val Del Inferno, and
the French dams at yilfars, Ternay,
Hamiz and other places. One-third OF
this dam would he below the natural bed
of Croton river. as it is that far to solid
bed rock.
The opponents Of this scheme have a
good deal TO say. One suggests that an
Anarchist or alien enemy could carry
enough dynamite in gripsack to blow
breach through the dam. Another
maintains that the pressure would be SO
great that the water would insinuate it.
self into the pores of the masonry or
bedrock and eventually undermine the
dam. Still another insists that owing TO
the peculiar formation at that point the
pressure would be greater than was ever
yet brought upon solid masonry, and that
break would be probable. Professor
Hogan, who testified as an expert before
the aqueduct commission, replies to all
this that stone dams always break in por-
tions, while earthen dams often go in a
body; hence, If a breach were made and
successive sections of the dam carried off
by the force of the water, there would
still be ample time Cor slow discharge.
The basis principle Of the science is
that water presses, pot according to its
breadth but It's height; the tin Of the
