LEvEES OF MISSISSIPPI
Discussed in an Able Paper by Maj.
3. M. Harold Before the
Commercial Club.

The members of the Commercial
Club at their monthly dinner last night
at the Queen City Club listened to an
able address on the levee system OF
the Mississippi river by Maj, b. NJ
Harrod. of New Orleans, La, reports
the Cincinnati Enquirer Mr. Harrod
IS a civil engineer. and for the past
.wenty.four years has been a member
he members of which body are APP
pointed by the Federal Government.
Among other things Maj Harrod
said: THE improvement of the Mis-
sissippi should enlist the interest of all
citizens who are interested in the ul-
innate development of our country's
resources, its increase in population,
in the food supply for home and for
eign countries. in its domestic and
foreign commerce, and the logical re-
suit of ali these in its primary and
power
Il believe in the largest practi-
cable Improvement for navigation of
the main trunk Of the Mississippi river
ont of the Gulf of Mexico with thirty.
five feet of water.
The Mississippi river in its floods
has discharge Of 100000 to 1000
900 cubic feet per second, which even
at it's low stages seldom, II ever falls
below 100000 feet per second. The
deepest water and swiftest current fol
lows close to the shore of the concave
bends. causing rapid caving. which is
followed by equally rapid advances of
the opposite point out into the shore
and comparatively still water on the
convex side Of the bend. The recess
sion of the bends and elongation of the
points increase the length of the riy-
er until some point has become so
attenuated that the river breaks
through it. Thousands of acres of
high and valuable banks are annual
ly torn down. and the debris dumped
in the twenty or twenty-five places
where the natural navigable depth at
low water is reduced to five OF six
feet
The plan of the Mississippi Riy-
er Commission was therefore based on
the observation that where the chan
mel was fixed in location and con-
iiend TO moderate width. the depth
vas always ample for navigation.
This led to tho adoption Of the fol-

The new year may bring many new
things to Cairo, as it always does, and
who knows but that what the new
style of dancing described by Rev
Denham of Elkh4rt. Ind, who preach
ed on that subject recently may be
one of them?
The Rev Denham preached sen
satonal sermon at the First Christian
church in Elkhart, recently on the
evils Of dancing The church was
crowded, for the previous announce
ment had declared that If he did not
give good and sufficient reason why
he did not dance himself and why
the others should not he would accept
an invitation to the next dance to be
given in Elkhart and keep step with
the best OF the dancers.
why don't men dance by them
selves. and the women by themselves,
like they did in the Old Testament
times?'
But the heads of New York society,
it is announced. have invented the sit
ting ont waltz, wherein the position is
the same. only you sit, instead Of
dance during the rendition of music.
Now, that is more like it, We have
always regarded as quite a nuisance

The new bridge is forty per cent

APPLES AND MORALS.

John IT, Stenson, who holds the In.
teresting position Of directory Of po-
mology at the ST, Louis exposition, is
writing a pamphlet which he will have
distributed broadcast at the big fair
on apple Day" September 9th, in
which the humble apple is set forth as
a sure cure for the drink habit, the to-
bacco habit and the low state Of NOR
ais that leads to suicide and crime.
He contends stoutly for apples, not
only as the ideal physical diet, but
the ideal moral diet. There is some
mysterious quality In the apple, he
thinks, that keeps the ethical machln-
cry oiled up and in working order.

way, II is at variance with that old
theory which originated in the Garden
OF Eden and holds the apple respon-
sible for all the sin In the world.
