that the success Of some contemporary
books Is due to the correspondence that
exists between the state OF the authors

OF the public. Spiritual dependency.
which, under the name of acedia. was
accounted n OF the seven deadly sins
during the middle ages, has come in
these later days to be one Of the main
resources OF literature. Life itself has
recently been defined by one Of the

the forests are supposed to contribute
largely to the severity Of the floods Of
late years. The spring rains that
formerly took months to reach the
main river are now precipitated al
most at once upon the lower MISSISSIPPI
pi, causing great destruction Of life
and property. II all this extra water
could be carried off as fast al II ar
riyes. there would be no danger, but
owing to the tortuous nature OF the
channel and the distractions Of the
delta. this Is impossible.
In 1875 congress authorized Capt.
Eads to begin the construction Of Jet
ties In the branches of the delta. When
the river reaches the delta 1t divides
aud flows into the sea through Ave diff
ferent outlets, called passes. In these
passes Capt. Eads built long walls OF
masonry, combining the stream to a
narrow channel. This had the effect
OF q%uickening the current, which
secured out the bottom of the channel,
deepening It and carrying of all OBJ
structions. Extensive dredging opera
tons were also begun for clearing the
passes and allowing the water to reach
TIE gulf more quickly.
These are the plans upon which the
work Of combining the Mississippi to Its
present channel is being carried on.
But It wNl probably be some time be-
fore the levees and %jetties are OF SUN
cicnt strength and extent to remove all
danger Of floods. Whether the current
can be quickened enough to carry on
all the sediment and thus remove the
possibility OF shifting bars and chang
Ing the channel is a doubtful question
