Mok,nr water Build Dams.

Many readers who do not follow the
literature of engineering will be inter-
ested in the statement that one Of the
methods employed by American en-
gineers in forming reservoir dams is
to call in the services of powerful
1et of water. as in hydraulic mining.
BY directing such Jet against the
upper slopes Of valley, the sand,
soil and gravel secured from the hill
sides can be carried by the force OF
the stream to the site OF the dam in
the lower part of the valley. BY suit
able management, the water not only
conveys the materi Is, but consolidates
them in position, dropping the larger
stones at the sides and carrying the
finer material to the center of tho
dam.

Fish Are Like Moths,

Two Yale students have discovered
that electric light is the best bait for
fishing. AS result OF this discovery
the fishing industry promises to be
revolutionized. 1t has been found that
the rays Of an electric light under the
water hypnotize the denizens of the
deep. When they see the rays they
flock to them like moth to flame,
and nothing can drive them away as
long as the light shines. II 1t is
turned off they scamper away in all
directions. A company has been
formed which proposes to enter into
the capture of fish by electric light

The new ministry OF the Netherlands
has withdrawn from the States General
the project for draining the Zuyder Zee
on the ground that the present con-
dition of the Dutch budget renders the
undertaking undesirable for the pres
ent. The enterprise has been discussed
for long time and 1t seemed about
to enter an active stage. A commits
sion made an elaborate Investigation
of the project. indorsed its practica-
bility and declared that 1t would be
advantageous to the country thus to
add $50 square miles to the sgricultur-
al area of Holland. A bill was ac-
cordingly introduced into the Second
Chamber OF the States General author
izing the beginning OF the work. Thus
the scheme came within the sphere OF
practical politics. Unfortunately, 1t
reached this stage about the time that
the ministerial crisis began which re-
suited in the resignation of the cab
met. The new government declines
to assume the responsibility for the
large expense involved. and therefore
the project is indefinitely shelved. II
was estimated that the entire expense
