the top of the jetties, and which is
the work receiving it's finishing
touches this week, is only few feet
wide. The Gaping is a sea wall
four and one-half feet high and is
the only portion of the jetties not
submerged. The wall weighs between
two and three tons to each linear
foot.
The submerged structure support
ing this mass of concrete is made
almost entirely of willow poles and
brush. With the aid of frame works
of scantling the willows were formed
into so-called mattresses fat
structures resembling bed mattresses
in form-each about two feet thick,
200 feet long and varying in width
from thirty-five to 150 feet The
mattresses were sunk one above the
other, with the widest at the bottom
and those above uniformly diminish
ing in width as they approached the
surface. The topmost mattresses
were uniformly thirty-five feet wide,
and on level with the surface Of the
water. Heavy broken stone was
spread evenly over the mattresses to
sink them, so that a layer of stone
structures. The greatest number of
supperimposed mattresses is five.
The Mississippi has done some in
teresting work in addition to scour-
ing out a channel, for it has made
the mattresses practically indestruc-
tible to any normal agency of nature
in this region by burying them under
hundreds of tons of mud. These de-
posits follow closely the contour of
the jetties, in conjunction with which
they form new banks of the river
The only change likely to occur in
the jetties Is their gradual sinking,
until in time the concrete Gaping
entirely disappears. This sinking
already has occurred to the ietties
at South Pass.
In the course of many years a new
bar may form by silt deposits in the
Gulf in the now deep water beyond
the mouth of the jetties, and then the
remedy will be the extension of the
jetties short distance further The
rate of bar extension during nearly
seventy-five years preceding the
starting of the jetties was between
$50 and ESQ feet annually, and the
deposits responsible for this advance
were made when conditions, now
greatly changed, favored such accre-
tions.
Part of the 100000 allotted to
making the channel is being spent in
safeguards several miles above the
jetties to prevent any increase in the
flow of other large outlets from the
main river to the Gulf. This is being
accomplished by placing stone covered
mattress stills on the river bottom
across the entrances to those outlets.
Several small bayous leading from
Southwest Pass to the Gulf will be
entirely closed up.

wife, who is his assistant, say they
will see the experiment through.
Russell thinks in time courtship will
be taken out of the realm of en-
pyricism and lifted into the realm Of
exact science as chemistry followed
alchemy.
Twenty-three pupils, ten Of whom
are girls, constitute the first class in
the world to receive formal instruc-

has given them three lectures and
they have written essays. The in
