| discharge at this date, the rise, when highest,
| could not have carried past Natchez more
than 935, 900 cubic feet per second. How,
then, is this enormous difference of 400 600
cubic feet per second to be accounted for?
'Only in one way.
"The reservoir, furnished by 800 square
miles of channel between Columbus and
Natchez, absorbed it all.
"This is an extreme case, because such a
rise az so low q stage is almost unprec-
edented. but it plainly shows that SO i'm
portant an element cannot be neglected in
discussing the subject of river floods.
The only other rise in the flood of 1868
which produced a sensible oscillation in the
lower river was that which occurred near
the end of March. This, then, was the only
other rise sensibly modified by the reservoir
influence of the channel. IT was highest at
feet below high water of 1858; at Memphis,
on April 2 when 1t was 1.8 feet below the
same food; and at Helena, on April 4, when
it was 8. s feet below the same flood. 1t was
of very short duration, and did not break
the levees of the st. Francis bottom. Very
little water entered these swamps, and its
volume was counterbalanced by the excess
Of the discharge of the st. Francis over 3d.
600 cubic feet per second. This river was
pouring out flood of rain water from up
land as well as swamp drainage. The max
imum discharge at Columbus in this rise
was l, 130. 900 cubic feet per second. 1t was
increased $4,000 cubic feet per second by the
st. Francis river, and should therefore have
been 100000 cubic feet per second at
Helena. The actual discharge at Helena
was 100000 cubic feet per second. The
difference between these two quantities
140 900 cubic feet per second, is the

PRIDE OF THE STATE
To Be Properly Upheld at the Worlds
Fair by the Legislature.
PROSPECTS OF AN APPROPRIATION,
Secretary Brewer Discourses Entertainingly
on the Subject.
WHAT WAS DONE FOR THE CENTENNIAL

Eben Brewer, of the Canal Commission,
who is also Assis tant Secretary of the Ma
'tional Worlds Fair Commission at Chicago.
was asked by DISPATCH reporter yester-
day, whether an appropriation would be
made by the State of Pennsylvania in aid
OF the Worlds Fair. He said:
= tit is too early now to speak definitely on
that subject. I see that Governor Beaver,
in his message, strongly advises such an ap-
preparation on the part of our State, and his
recommendation will go great way in aid
of such action. Pennsylvania certainly
ought to make liberal appropriation and
see that her most prominent industries are
adequately represented at the Worlds Fair.
Organized action will probably be taken in
almost every State and Territory of the
Union to secure such exhibits, and Pennsyl-
vania is the last State that should be behind
in such matter.
"When Pennsylvania held the first inter
national exhibition of America, the Centen
NAL, no less than 26 States and Territorie
made liberal appropriations in aid of thei
exhibits at Philadelphia. The money giveI
outright to aid in the organization Of STATE
work and the collection of creditable ex
| hibits for the Centennial was nearly half
million dollars. It is not at all likely tha
Pennsylvania, after receiving such benefit
from her sister States, will neglect the onl.
opportunity she will have, in our genera
tion, at least, to show her appreciation OF the
aid given the Centennial, and to return 1t II
some degree.
What Was Done for the Centennial.
81 was looking over some reports of thu
Centennial day or two ago and jotte'
down the amounts of the different appro
priations made by States and Territories a
that time. I don't think they have ever
been published, and it would be an interest
ing piece of information to put in type
The amounts were these:

Movable dams have many advantages
over permanent DAMS The movable dam
does not raise the food level; the river so
damned can be controlled and trained to
scour clean, maintain, deepen and improve
its channel; and during high water stages
navigation is not delayed by locks. Most
important o. all, the movable dam can be so
designed and operated as 10 develop and

ticable regulation of flood conditions in a
more perfect and far cheaper manner than
Is possible with any other device whatso-
eyer-indeed without other outlay than that
CeSlrao-e solely from It's beneficial effect on
navigation.
A permanent dam. on the contrary, is a
permanent obstruction to navigation, to the
oudall, and to tine work of channel i'm
provement; it permanently raises the food
level, threatens and destroys by overflow
lands otherwise exempt, causes a wider
spread and more destructive violence in
time of flood, causes filling up and perma-
uent raising of the river bed, and DESTROYS
the navigaDle channel by retaining the silt
and detritus; and while bringing on this
train of evils, prevents the use of the only
efficient agent to correct them, to-wit the
securing power of the river when directed
by the art of man.
But were the permanent dam free from all
the above recited drawbacks, it has one
prime fault which alone must condemn it.
1t does not utilize or develop the reservoir
function of the water course. On the con-
trary, it impairs, and tends to destroy that
most valuable property.
As the height OF the permanent dam is to
the height of the river banks, so is The reser-
vOir action reduced
As imported from France the movable
dam is crude and adapted to small streams
only. 1t is too SLOW of operation, too delicate

These features make them cheap in first
cost, simple In operation and easy to main
tain. Their dimensions and weight are
we'll within good practice, and they can be
safely and rapidly handled by engines of
quite moderate horse power.
The compressed air is used at pressures so
moderate that any good positive blower or
blast engine will operate them. Their cellu-
lar open bottomed structure makes them
safe from disabIenent by floating ice and
logs, as a number of cells may be pierced
without seriously impairing the buoyancy;
permits the hulks to be lowered over large
boulders or other irregularities of the bot
tom, and enables repairs to be made at any
time, by boiling on an air lock, COMPRISING
air into an injured cell, and expelling water
therefrom so that workmen can enter
The necessary machinery is of so simple
and usual type that repairs and replace
ments can be immediate; or tugs can be used
to manipulate the parts of the dam. 1t will
be observed that the hulks of the movable
dams are substantially identical in struc-
ture with the hulks of the movable caisson-
jetties described in the fourth paper, and
that the dams can be used for jetties, or the
jetty- -hulks tor dams quite indiferently.
The cost of the dams will be low; S75 a
ton will pay for the hulks. The weight per
foot must be sufficient to give them stability

Uncle Sol noticed the severe mental strain

"Wyllie could not draw your game; is it
not useless to continue further?"

never claim game until it is won," and

the hand indicative of ''that settles it." and
began to gather up the men for another

modestly extended his palm. BEAT me

sun rises the bookkeeper's situation in this
establishment shall be yours;" and both
men excitedly replaced the pieces.
The old gentleman's 11-15 never seemed
as powerful to Forest as now, and he thought
OF his mother and his sister Laura, and how
much depended on his winning. He had
determined, if possible, to play the "Maid

Below is the game in full, and never was
game played more deliberately:
