THE POTOMAC BASIN.
A Sanitary Survey Showing Sources
Of Pollution.

No drainage basin in the east is Of
greater Importance or interest from the
point Of view Of the engineer and the
sanitarian than that of the Potomac
river and for this reason special value
is attached to a comprehensive report
on the physical and photographic fea-
lures Of this area. now being prepared
for publication by the United States
Geological Survey. In this report will
be discussed the pollution by sewage
and manufacturing plants, the quantity
or water flowing in the streams, the
physical development of the basin and
the forestation.
A sanitary survey has been made of
the entire basin, ard the paper will con-
tain a section On the pollution caused
by the discharge Of sewage or manufac-
turing refuse into the stream and its cf-
feet upon the health Of communities
affected.
Tn effect Of waste material from the
industrial plants in the basin, such as
tanHeri-s pulp mills, wooden mills and
distilIe~i,s- will be described in detail
and there viii be discussion Of the
epide5aics Of typhoid fever that have
occurred At various points
The report will include also all avail
able information regarding the quantity
Of water flowing in the streams. For
some years the United States Geologi-
cal Survey has made measurements Of
flow Of most of the important streams
in the basin. The records Of flow will
be Of great value in connection with the
development Of power plants, as they
viii show in concise form the amount
Of water that is likely to be available.

IEIETY MILES AN HOUR.
OF road. Several motor cars Of differ
ent tyres aud weights are in reaGi-
ness. The photographers and the men
with stop watches are duly placed at
their appointed stations N'h0Ush. OFF
goes a machine at a rapid rate, fol-
lowed closely by another, in the front
OF which, with the chauffeur, sits d
man Who operates camera. The
dust flies upward in cloud, partly
obscuring the automobile in front. but
that is what is waut2l-to show by
photography how much dust IS thus
thrown Up from the road5cd, to he
carried off by the breeze, and So in
considerable part, lost
To say that dust is tie life OF q road
is not putting the fact too strongly.
It IS the Cementing material of the road
surface which, combining with the
moisture contributed by rain, holds to-
Gether the stony particles composing
that surface shedding storm water
and preventing the particles from IN
Gergoing diSintegrati0n. Thus it may
be said that dust is to a road what
shingles are to a house. If it Is taken
away the roadbed goes to pieces The
amount Of dust thrown up by the au-
tomobile is in proportion to the speed
at which it goes. But, in order to OBJ
tain exact figures on this point, the
government experts take series of
photographs of each motor car, tray
cling over the same stretch of road. at
ten miles, twenty miles, thirty miles
and 50 on up to seventy miles an hour.
\ stretch Of road with a fairly sharp
turn is chosen by preference, in order
that photographers posted at the bend
may, with safety to themselves. snap
shoot each motor car from directly
in front, as it approaches, and also
directly from behind, after it has
passed by. Now, it is not merely for
| theoretical purposes that the road bu-
reau is making these experiments. 1t
is trying to find a remedy for the mis-
chief-a practical part Of the inquiry
which is being carried On simultane-
ously with the automobile tests above
described. Something must be found,
obviously to keep the dust from being
carried off the roads, and the pre-
lentive seems to be either tar or oil
For some months past the experts
have been applying tar and crude pc
troleum to different sections of roads,
| and they have found that either
Enough the tar seems TO he preferred)
aCcomplishos the purpose admirably.
| 1t appears that an application Of tar
/ costs less than cents 4 square yard,
| including labor, and it will last for a
year or 50, though Just how long can
not be stated exactly as yet The cost
Of oil is even less. The tar is trans
ported for the purpose in tank cars
and heated in the car by introducing Il
coil Of steam pipe into it and furnish
ing the requisite heat from m engine
on wheels which is run up alongside.
In this way the material is made fluid,
so rs to be easily spread by men with
brooms or otherwise over the surface
Of the roadbed that IS to be treated.
The tar gives a hard and smooth coat

the case Of macadam forms a sort Of
