GATHERING FACTS ABOUT A RIVER.

uGuTTEN . II sUNDA REPUBLIC.
Time was when all that was known of q
river was that IL flowed. in a general way,
north. south. east or west. toward a certain
other river. sea or gulf.
Then. IS men became more inquisitive.
they found the sources and the tributaries
Of the stream. and even made maps which
roughly showed its location and its general
course.
Then men advanced by degrees to more
careful exploration. to control of certain
parts of the stream. and to scientific meas
urements and analyses. until now. in CIV
ilized countries. everything about a river
from the source of ii. the length. breadth,
depth and swiftness Of il. to the chemical
properties OF its waters-is studied and the
results tabulsted by men who are especially
trained for the work.
But this is the professional side Of the
matter. Most men stiIl accept rivers and
creeks and other streams of running water
as a matter of course. and think but little
of the important bearing they have on the
countrys progress. They. leave all those
things to the chemists in the employ of the
United States Geological Survey. And those
scientists lave their hands fun.
A United States Geological Survey expert
mus discusses river measurements:
THE first thing to be known about a river
Is its drainage area-that is. the number OF
square miles Of country drained by It, and
its various tributary streams. For instance.
the Croton River drains an area Of sy
square miles. the Passaic SO square miles,
the Hudson 400 square miles above tide
water. This involves en- interesting study
Of the character Of the CT lntry. whether low
or mountainous. thickly wooded or cleared
for agriculture; for a river system, like q
human being. is apt to he much Influenced
by its environments.
the next information needed 10 the
amount of the annual rainfall over the drain
ere area It IN easy 10 see how important q
factor this Is. for without rainfall. broadly
..aAIng. there would be No rivsr. The

rainfall 10 readily measured BY rain gauges
and other Instruments placed about NJ dr.
ferent points in the drainage area, recorded
at stated intervals and averageA for the
month and year.
THE next step is the measurement Of the
now of water in the stream. This in done
by means OF a simple but ingeniously ar
ranged meter somewhat resembling a small
windmill. a wheel in front % delicately ad-
Justed that even q slight breeze will start II
rotating, and a metal tail. or vane. behind
II. which keeps the wheel headed upstream.
The meters wheel Is 70 arrange that with
every revolution IT makes and breaks an
electric current. which sounds a buxxer at
the other end of the wire cord from which
the instrument Is suspended. The FIRST thing
is 10 find a place suitable for the measure
ment. not as simple a matter as Il might NJ
first appear. for between its rapids and its
sluggish portions. its dams and its cataracts

times hard to find.
Whenever such q section 10 found where

drographer who - to measure 1t. for he can
then do his work in comfort. But when this
is not the case all sorts OF expedients have
TO be resorted to to find a substitute. Some
times a boat IS used and sometimes a stout
wire fs stretched across the stream and q
small car Is run back and forth on II, carry
ing the men suspended in midair. Measure
ments taken from an apparatus of this kind
are shown in a recent report Of the United
States Geological Survey.
The method of work ID first to measure
on the stream from shore to shore in Inn
aginary sections. usually 10 feet wide, and
compute the amount Of water flowing mast

meter is lowered nearly to the bottom. ana

mind in a healthy body has been a we'll
established truth for many generations.
And men like Martin Luther. Pestalozzi.
Froebel. Rousseau and an army Of other
educators. have insisted that the body and
mind should have equal training.
THE ends OF exercise may be character
lied as the promotion OF health, and the
acquisition Of correct habits Of action. Tn
first is "A hygienic end. and the second Is
a distinctly educational end.
THE nervous system Is the most impor-
tant field Of education. No one will deny
this. The basis Of all forms OF physical
training. however various and divergent the
special ends may be. is the power of the
nervous system to receive Impressions and
register them on their effects.
The function of our public schools Il not

branch or another. This fact is coming

same rule holds good as regards the kind
of physical training that should be aimed
at in our schools. II Is not our business
10 train up bah players. carpenters. clerks
or men OF any Profession. General bodily
training is what We aim to secure. The
men of to-day have hardships to meet In
their daily w~alks-tasks TO perform that re-
quire physical strength. There never was
a time i'm history when man had more
mental ana physical work 10 90 IMAM al the
present. The minute subdivisions Of labor
and the consequent concentration OF facul-
ties within narrow limits necessitate a
restoration Of that fair proportion between
the different parts Of the body SO essential
to health. The man who Is not properly
trained cannot stand the strain that Is
now put upon him.
Good physical training not only makes
a man more s2rightly. brighter, stronger and
more energetic: 1t not only gives him a
BETTER and more noble carriage; but II also
gives more self-reliance and courage and
has an inestimable disciplinary effect.
The American child of to-day Is a bundle
Of nerves, and great care must be taken in
his early training. And too often we see
stoop-shouiders IN our schools. All this
is not as 1t should be. BY physical train

hope to fully instill in the minds of the peo-

school children are in far better condition

Young jacobson enlisted within a week
after the blowing up of the Maine. He was
stirred by patriotism and was eager TO en-
ter the service of his country. bur. owing
to his youth. he was unable TO join the
army. He did the next best thing and
Joined the navy as apprentice. on Feb
ruary q. 1895. He was first assigned to the
training station at Newport. where he
served for one year.
His natural aptitude for things pertaining
to q sailors life attracted the attention Of
Tie commanding officer Of the station. and
At the end Of his first year he was placed
as chief bugler o the supply ship Glacier.
In this steamer he Travelled to Manila by
way of the Suez Canal. Later he made
two trips in her 10 Australia, to get pro-
visions for the army of the Philippines.
At his own request he was transferred 20

was taken on this ship as a second class

In a letter to his father dated from Ma

graphic account Of his experiences during
the expedition. After the usual greetings
to his parents he says:
Il am now going to give you an account
of our expedition which wa sent out to
capture Aguina!do. On March s We left
our anchorage at Cavite and steamed up In
front Of Manila. where We lay until next
evening. During this time We received on
board General Funston and his officers,
with about one hundred Nacabebeee. Among
the officers were Major Brown. Captain
Mitchell, Captain and Lieutenant Hazard,
Lieutenant Hodges and Doctor Mcpherson.

made all the men In the forecastle were IN

that something Of importance wal in the
hut no one could even chance a guess
at what II was. Not even the Captain had
