Negroes Put Lbsoiute Faith in Astrol-

No Occasion for Alarm, Says Prof.
Moore, at His Desk Here

Prof. Willis L. Moore. Chief Of the
Weather Bureau, who in the absence Of
Secretary Wilson is Acting Secreye-E OF
Agriculture, is receiving pleading q i
lions from hotelkeepers at Atlantic Cit!
to issue an official statement concerning
ocean weather of the near future. Ac-
cordtCg to the reports received, the col
cred walters at manv Of the hotels are
hurrying away from that resort, under
the dread that Atlantic City is to be en-
guIfed by a fierce tidal wave BY Aug
ust 10.
The Atlantic City bonifaces have in
formed Prof Moore that some time ago
al Afro-American astroIoger Of more or
less influence among the people OF his
race predicted the coming Of a hurricane
in the ocean OF the Jersey coast that
would destroy Atlantic City and drown
everybody there. The negroes there. II
seems, have become ranic-striken, and

Prof. Moore naturally is in consider
able Of a quandary as what to do He
has set his force Of weather prognosti-
Gators at work to prove that there Is
absolutely no danger Of the coIored as

thus far his best efforts have proved IN

more confidence IN the prescience OF
their prophet than in the dicta Of the

What Prof. Moore Says.
The panic created by the unknown
negro astrol6ger at Atlantic City, Prof.
Moore says. IS only a sample OF the work
that has been and is being done By false
prophets in this country and other parts
Of the world. since the eruption Of Mont
Pelee. Every astrologer and seer in the
United States and Europe appears to
have been arou2ed 10 activity by the
volcanic horror in Martinique, he says,
and the dire predictions they are turn
ing out are frightening the cFeduIous all
over the country.
There Is no more danger Of a tidal
wave at Atlantic City this month, CT
next month. OF the month after, than
there is that the Washington Monument
will be destroyed by a cyclone tonight, %
said Prof. Moore.
THE eruption Of Mont PeIee has had
no more effect upon the atmospheric
conditions Of this continent than would

temperature Of the equatorial regions.

REDEEEMING A STATE.
An American Project That IL More
Gigantic Than the Draining
of the Zuyder Zee.

The proposed drainage Of the Zuy-
der Zee, which has been under dis
cussion for the past century, is pop
ularly looked upon as an engineer
ing problem in land reclamation
without a parallel in contemporary
history. The land that would be re-
claimed By this work would be about
$50 square miles.
In comparison the Engineering
News re ie-a TO work in this direc-
tion now being carried out along the
Mississippi which will reclaim a
tract Of 1850 square miles in extent.
The work OF rcclaining the st. Fran
els basin, which lies on the west
bank Of the Mississippi between New
Madrid, in Missouri, and Helena, in
Arkansas, is already well under way,
only a few additional miles of leyees
being necessary to complete the ar
tifcial banks which are TO hold in
check the food waters OF the Mis-
sissippi. The soil is an alluyiaI de-
posit, and, therefore, remarkably
fertile and capable Of the highest
cultivation.
A comparison Of the extent Of the
St. Francis basin with the combined
areas of Rhode Island and Delaware
gives a good idea OF its magnitude,
says the Philadelphia Record. All OF
this area was recently oyerfowed by
the Mississippi With the exception
of few gaps there has been con
structed In this work continuous
line of levees 212 miles in length.
The work has been done under the
supervision Of the st. Francis levee
boards of Missouri and Arkansas
acting in conjunction with the United
States government. The expenditures
Of the two boards together - date
amount to about $l,t00,O0O, while the
government has expended about $3.50.
600 additional. Already the reclaimed
land has appreciated in value many
times it's original valuation. arl is
now held at goo an acre. Raiifoads
now intereect the reclaimed area IL
several directions, numerous indus
trial eetal lishments have been built
the population has been doubled, ant
a general prosperity has appeared
where originally there were only
waste swamps.
1t is, however, not only in the eN
tent of the undertaking that the st
Francis basin reclamation is notable
but in the very low cost at which il
has been accomplished The work OF
reclaiming about $500 square miles
of the Nile valley In Egypt is now be-
ing carried ont by the building Of
dams at Assouan and Assiont at an
estimated cost of s25,OoO,OO0, while
the entire reclamation OF the $500
square miles OF the st. Francis ha.
sin will not cost more than S5,000,00C
all told, or only 81, I3O per square
mile, compared with $4,000 In the
Egyptian reclamation. -
