an important branch, the
river and flood service, which yearly
saves from destruction millions of dol
lars worth of property and saves the
lives of hundreds of people.
A writer in the Philadelphia Press,
who speaks in detail of the splendid
work done by this branch, paints in
graphic words picture of the ruin by
flood that so frequently falls upon vari-
Gus portions of the United States. He
says the great American floods are be-
coming as famous and as tragic as
American billiards.
The unusual SHOWS of last winter,
the numberless ice-gorges in streams
and rivers, awaken apprehension of
what may happen if spring rains sud-
denly flood everything. Floods occur
in the different localities at widely diff
ferent periods. Those in the lower
Mississippi generally begin along the
last of March; the upper Mississippi
tie latter part of April or in May; the
Mississippi river floods come somewhat
later than in the upper river; Ohio
floods may happen anywhere from Feb
ruary to June; the eastern and south
eastern river may overflow any time
of the year save in August, generally

Law Measure Causes Tilt.

The bill appropriating $500 each to
John Barnes and r. M. Bashford for law
services has raised an uproar in the SEN
ate, its initial appearance being marked
by sharp tilt between Senators Mum
son and McGillvray, who was presiding.
The judiciary committee reported the
bill out by a divided vote, and it's en-
trance into the upper house gave an OPP
portunity to observers to gain an insight
into its popularity.

The Gas Engine.

The gas engine. which is one Of the
newest fads of the day, and very
useful AID important one, dates back
at least to 1920. In that year an in
ternal combustion motor was shown
in operation in Cambridge, England.
1t is said to have been invented by
Rev. w. Cecil, of Magdalen college

of the world. During the great flood or
1897 $15,0000O0 worth of perishable
property was moved at the instance OF
the weather forecasts. Yet the total cost
of the river and flood service of the
United States was that year only $15,-
900, the one-thousandth of this saving
to the people. So this particular enter
prise of the government certainly more
than pays for itself, to put it very
feebly."
The people do not by any means al
ways regard the service warnings as a
prophecy worth needing; often there is
heard the cry that the weather bureau
needlessly alarms. When the bureau
sends word that without doubt houses
along certain city streets will soon be
submerged, and are told the inhabitants
must move, often the residents persist
in waiting until their houses are deep in
water; they themselves can escape only
at the expense of good deal Of trouble
and no small danger. And after the
flood subsidies, they go back and build
on the very same spots.
We give below list of some of the
worst floods that have occurred in this
country.
