NOTES.

Robert Marshall Brown. Of Wor-
cester, Mass, has an article in the
Popular Science Monthly for August
reviewing recent legislation for the
improvement Of the Mississippi river,
ana incidentally tho Ohio. The inn
mediate need of fourteen foot water
way from the lakes to the gulf arises
from the fact that the products of the
valley have out-stripped the carrying
capacity OF the railroads. 1t Is admit
ted BY railroad men that there is no
immediate prospect OF the construc.
ticn of additional lines, and they can
not keep pace with the mills. palms
and forests. The only relief seems
to be In the improvement of the
Mississippi river. This argument also
applies to tho improvement OF the
Ohio river from Pitsburg to Cairo,
which ii also contemplated under the
provisions OF the Rivers and Harbors
Bill The canalization oil stream is

been demonstrated in Europe on the
Elbe, Seine and Main, and in this
country on some parts OF the Ohio.
Tho writer congratuiates the country
that the scheme is to be carefully
looked into before work is begun, and
that the progress will be slow, as the
amount to be expended is enormous.
