In a recent report by the water COM
mittee of the London county council
the statement is made that there has
been a decline during the last 20 years
in the amount of water flowing in the
Thames of 239, 100000 gallons a day,
and diminished annual rainfall over
its watershed of 21-2 inches Ihe
river now has an average daily flow OF
1,110500,000 gallons, while in the peri
cd from 1S5O-1S89 according to MIR.
Symons' observations, the daily aver
age flow was 1,350UO0,00O gallons. lac
River Lea also shows a marked dimin-
ution in it's flow The report seems to
indicate a serious and continuous
dwindling of these rivers, but, accord
ing to M. H. R. Mill, this is not by any
means so serious as it appears, and IS
probably due to the regular period Of
diminishing rainfall through which tho
country is passing. we are conf

short time, the fall will again reach

These little duties will be completed in time for the vessel to go to Seattle when the first half of the cable arrives, and will return to Juneau to begin the layingof the cable southward. When the half is in the water the other half will have arrived, and the work will proceed without delay.
