the canary bird possesses a brain big
ger than 4 mans. and the same is
true of the squirrel monkey Of South
America. which is not an exception

ever.~ counts for little; the quality is
the thing of Importance, and therefore
it is mistake to attribute inferiority
TO woman'S brain as compared to
mans, merely on the ground that it
weighs eight ounces less. She is a
smaller creature. and hence the lesser
weight of her cerebral equipment. 1t

level. That was where q fatal error
was made. for it was at this place
that the dam first gave way. Even
had the dam been of solid granite it Is
hardly probable that it gould have
withstOOd the tremendous force of the
water, since the foundation had been
laid on top of the smooth rock and
without any excavating being done at
this particular point. Add to this the
fact that the rock forming the bed of
the river is in layers and that water
can pass between these layers, and it
will not seem so very strange after all
that the dam should have given way.
Water is something that cannot be
compressed and with sufficient force
behind it, it acts as wedge and ac-
compllshes that which seems impossi-
BILE.
Ever since the construction of the
dam and when the water was not run
ming over it, slight leak could be
observed on the lower side, near the
bottom, and located over the bed of the
river where no excavation had been
made for the foundation. Nothing
serious was ever thought of this leak,
but 1t was there nevertheless and
could be plainly seen whenever the
south exposure of the dam was dry,
not raining or the water not running
over it. The leak was not in the shape
OF a stream, hut it rather seeped
through and spread over the dam a
distance of several feet. All these
years it had been slowly at work
loosening that part of the foundation
which rested on the smooth rock bed
of the stream and which only needed
efficient force to push it out of place"

Views Of a Well Known Man
Regarding Austin's Dam
CAUSED NO SURPRISE
Where People Knew the Conditions
OF the Cons truCtlon-Hdd No
Foundation.

Hon. JEFF McLem ore, Of Austin, q for
mer member of the legislature, later a
staff cores poudent of several newspa
pers at the capital, and at present rep
resenting one of the companies which
has q contract with the state under
the text book law, is guest of the
Worth, reports the Fort Worth Mail
Telegram. Mr.. McLemore has been
so long citizen of Austin that he
knows we'll the conditions regarding the
great dam which was destroyed q week
ago. He was there when the work was
finished, aud he ia well informed of it.
In conversation with q representative
of the Mail-Telegram, he said:
THE dam is now only memory,
but fearful memory 1t is and one that
will be recalled with shudder and
dwelt on with a sigh. Supposedly
structure that would stand throughout
Sime, its destruction will in consequence
cause many to wonder how such a
massive wall of granite could be swept
away by either wind or flood. This
wonder, however, will cease when the
true facts concerning the construction
OF the dam are made known and then
people will wonder how it msnaged to
stand as long as it did. To begin with,
the dam was not built of solid granite,
as people away from Austin generally
supposed. and it will amaze some to
learn that 1t was only
q granite shell filed In with cement,
sand and broken limestone rock. The
people of Austin, at least those who
viewed the work while it was in pro-
gress, knew that the dam was bang
built with only granite shell, but
they believed that Portland cement
only was being used to fill in with, and
this satisfied them. for competent en-
gineers had given out the opinion
that such dam would be as safe as if
II were built of solid granite. And
probably it would, but an examination
of the broken fragments will show that
something besides Portland cement
was used TO fill in with, and, perhaps,
thereby hangs a tale. Many people
believe that had the dam been built of
solid granite 1t would have withstood
the force of the flood, but in this they
are most probably mistaken, for that
alone would not have saved it.
when the fou ndation of the dam
was laid there was one place of about
fifty or sixty feet where no excavat-
ing was deemed necessary. That was
the bed of the river, which was of rock,
this part was only
smoothed off and excavation made
either way from It until the remainder
OF the foundation was brought to its
