 There is much speculation in regard to the cause of the Mississippi floods, which are more frequent and destruo- tive as the years roll on. Landscape gardeners who have to do with ponds, lakes and small streams have learned that the earth brought down practically narrows the conduits and outlets There is not the room for the sall @ volume of water as thero originally was. The im- mense volume of earth carried to the mouth of the Mississippi annually prao- tioally raises the high water mark Therefore, unless some method of jetty- ing by which the waste earth can be carried farther from the mouth channel or some new additional outlet be form ed, the danger must increase as the years roll on.-Meehan's Monthly.
