or.sss.s Dam on Earth.

Fifteen years ago the highest dam
In existence was the Furens dam lin
France). the total height OF which was
40 feet. Since then three very much
larger dams have been bnilt in the
United States. These are the Croton
dam In New York. the Clinton water
works dam at Boston and the water
works dam near Denver, on the South
Fork OF the Platte river. says Critten-
den Marriott In November Technical
World Magazine. Each OF these at
present holds the record In one re-
spect or another: the Denver dam Ia
the highest In the world. the Clinton
impOunds the largest amount of water.
and the Croton dam contains the larg-
est mass OF masonry. But the Salt
River dam. when finished. will exceed
each OF these In It's own specially: 1t
will be higher than Denver. will ex-
coed the Croton dam In masonry, and
will impound twice AS much water as
all three put together. II will be 270
feet high from foundation to parapet,
will contain 100000 cubic yards OF
masonry. and will impound more than
a million acre.feet OF water; that Is.
more than enough to cover a million
acres l.500 square miles, to a depth
OF one foot. II will form a lake five
miles long and one to two miles wide.
