The Kindness of the Poor.

Some deeply touching anecdotes illus
trative of the kindness of the poor toward
each other are told by Mr.. Percy Alden,
of the Mansfield Settlement, London, in his
article on TYPES of the Unemployed in
the Outlook. One of these relates to n
casual dock worker who had contracted
consumption, and had fingered for two
years unable to work and slowly dying.
On the night when the end finally came
he sent for Mr.. Alden, and of his visit
the latter writes:
81 leaned over him and asked him-his
wife standing near by with hopeless look
upon his careworn face-how he had man

STORAGE RESERVOIRS.
The bitches and Canals Will Greatly Assist
in Lessening the Floods.

How can any storage reservoirs which
the Government might build at the head
waters of the Mississippi or the Missouri
play any part in the diminution of such
floods as the present one, is a question
frequently asked. The high-water mark at
st. Louis has reached over seven feet
above the danger line, which means an
enormous volume of water going by every
minute, and it may well be questioned
whether in JOG years the Government could
build reservoirs with sufficient capacity to
appreciably mitigate this evil.
A feature of this flood storage, said Guy
r. Mitchell, Secretary of the National IT.
rigatiOn Association, which may not be
generally understood. but which would I'M
doubtedly accomplish the desired result,
may be termed secondary storage" The
water storage proposition applied to the
Missouri and its great tributaries involves
the question of the irrigation of the vast
arid domain through which these rivers
flow. If irrigation storage reservoirs were
constructed on these rivers it is estimated
that as much as 35,000,O00 acres of pres
ent desert land would be reclaimed. The
principal season of growing crops for this
area would be April, May, June, July and
August, and the reason that the lands are
not irrigated at present is that while there
is plenty of water in the first three months,
during July and August, when water is
absolutely nettSSdTN 10 tHe
these streams are reduced to mere threads.
If the storage reservoirs Were built they
would supply water for this land during
July and August, during the three preced
ing months the water for this great area
of land would be drawn directly from the
streams themselves. By means of canals
and bitches almost incalculable quantities
of the flood waters coming down during
April. May and June. which cannot be
stored in the reservoirs, would be taken
out of the rivers and spread upon this
land, which would take it up like sponge.
water which would go down the Missouri
River and down the Platte River and down
the Arkansas River into the Mississippi
and thus add to the flow of the torrent
there.
Under such system of irrigation the
effect would be the same as though it had
been possible last week to spread out
the great flood of the Missouri. the Ar
kansas and the Platte and flood millions
of acres of farming land in Wyoming,
Colorado, Kansas. Nebraska and the Da-
kotas, thus reducing the flow of the lower
danger point.
The combined volume of the water i'm
pounded in storage reservoirs at the head
waters of these great rivers and their
tributaries and that contained in a network
of hundreds Of miles of irrigation canals
and bitches coupled with that absorbed by
millions of acres of arid land would have
gone Il long way toward palliating or pre-
venting what will be known as the great
flood Of 1908.
