Appeal to County for Help

Residents of East Omaha made trantlc
appeals to the county board Tuesday morn
ing for assistance in the fight against the
threatened encroachments of the river and
Commissioners Riggs made a tour Of the
flood district during the forenoon. Inc
combination dyke and road maintained by
the county on the southeastern side Oh
Florence lake he found to be seriously
threatened. The high wind had driven the
water against the dyke with such force
that It was almost eaten through. A force
OF fifteen men with a team worked most
Of the. day filling in the threatened portions
Of the dyke with willows and sandoass,
Unless there is another rise In the river
it is believed the dyke will hold. II 1t
gives way it is feared the bottom lands
will all be flooded.
About q mile east OF Florence lake on
the river the Omaha Cold Storage company
| has a force Of men and five teams at
work trying to dam up the river where 1t
has broken through into Cutoff lake. Dirt
was hauled into the slough through which
the water was running and early in the
forenoon the connection between the lake
and the river was cut off. Another rise,
however, might cut through again.

Men FIshtIne the water.

At East Omaha flagmen were stationed
at the Illinois Central bridge, where the
water is backing in slowly, but causing
no serious damage. At the Swift ice
houses on Cutoff lake a force OF twenty
men has been put to work to prevent the
river from breaking through into Cut-OIt
lake and additional men have been sent for
10 assist in the work. Word from the
Florence pumping station indicates that
no immediate damage is threatened at
Florence lake and none has thus far 4c-

Missouri Reaches Stage of 1873, Great

on Lowlands-No Danger
at Florence.

The Missouri river reached the highest
stage Tuesday since the big flood Of 1881,
when II stood. April "a, at 23.S feet. The
stage In the forenoon was 1879 feet, show
ing a rise OF four-tenths OF a foot since
MONDAY morning.
While the river showed an additional
rise Of about two inches at this point at
six o'clock Tuesday evening over that of
the morning, no material Inconvenience
resulted. The wind took a kindly notion
to blow from the west and kept the flood
nearer the center of the river. Conse-
uuently the trouble Of the forenoon and
previous evening at Cut Off lake in the
wash over the dam between the lake and
river was not INCREASED and the campers
at Cut OFF lake rested easier.
a trip though East Omaha shows that
the danger there has been somewhat
exaggerated. The water has not backed
into East Omaha at all except to . worry
small degree just north of the illinois
Central bridge. This is rot water direct
from the river but the seepage and is in
significant in quantity. At the same time
the Illinois Central people are keeping a
close watch on the river and continue
to keep flagmen posted there to be on
the constant lookout for any danger.
River authorities are Of the opinion that
the further rise Of the river will be very
slight. The current is extremely swift and
is carrying the excessive water away rapid
". There are no conditions prevailing
above Sioux City that indicate any further
rise from that source, and with the rap
IDLY falling river south Of Omaha, 1t Is
confidently expected that the crest of the
Hood will have passed during Wednesday
forenoon and that the river will fall RAP
idly after that time.
AS a reault of this high tide, residents ane
pleasure seekers on the river In the eas'
bottoms, where the river has broken over
are taking precautions against a serious
intimidation. Forces Of men are at work.
The stage Of the river at Sioux CITY
shows a rise Of six-tenths of a foot, and a
Blair bridge OF five-tenths Of a foot, with
falling river above Sioux City and a rapid
ly falling river at Plattsmouth. The ris'
between Omaha and Sioux City attributed
10 heavy rains iD western Minnesota ant
the eastern Dakotas, where the rains o
Monday night averaged between one and
half and two inches.

WORKING FOR NEXT CENSUS.
Director North Estimates the Under
taking viii Cost S14,ooO,o0o.

Director North Estimates the Under
taking viii Cost S14,ooO,000.
Although the next census will not be
taken for more than two years, Direct
or North Is laying the groundwork for
the undertaking. says a Washington
correspondent Of the Brooklyn Eagle.
He says II ls none too early to organ
ize the army Of enumerators and block
out the country into census districts.
Fourteen million dollars Is the lump
sum necessary for the next census, ac-
cording to the estimate of Director
North, based upon the three year de-
cennial period plan. II 1t shall be de-
cided that the censuses Of Porto Rico
and the Philippine Islands shall be
taken as a part Of the thirteenth cen
sus, an additional appropriation of ST.
100000 win be required. In making
this estimate Director North has not
been unmindful OF certain economies
dictated by past experience.
For example. the mortality reports,
which are now issued annually, viii
make II possible to reduce the number
Of these from four to three. The cen
sus experts ara unanimously opposed
to the continuance Of the collection OF
death returns for the rest Of the popu-
lation upon the schedule Of the enumer-
ator BY every test that can be APP
piled the returns OF death are too In
accurate to be worth what they cost.
''They convey no trustworthy indica-
ton Of the death rates prevailing In
the nonregistration areas" the director
points out. "Sueh death rates for
these areas can only be secured by
proper state aud municipal revision
for vital statistics. The absence of any
such data In the thirteenth census
may bring sharply to the attention of
these states and cities the necessity Of
this course"
Another amendment proposed Is that
the canvass OF the household and me.
chanical industries In connection with
the manufacturing census be aban-
doned. This was not included In the
census OF 1905, and no criticism ever
reached the census office upon the
omission 1t has been the experience
Of the director that the returns from
this group Of statistics have always
been too incomplete and Inaccurate to
justify their compilation. Their ellmi-
nation win make It possible. he thinks.
to intrust the entire canvass OF manu-
facturers to special agents, as was
done two years ago. In this way an,
other schedule can DO withdrawn from
fha enumeration lanyinR him only non
ulatiOn and agriculture schedules to
handle and In the cities the population
schedule only.

william. Thomson, who became Lord
Kelvin and died recently at Glasgow,
Scotland, had for years been regarded
a. the foremost scientist OF Great Brit
ain. While his achievements as a
physicist have been many and varied.
It Is for his work In the field Of cleo
tricity that he win perhaps be longest
remembered. Beginning with his work
as chief electrical adviser at the in.
stallation Of the first Atlantic cables,
there are few departments in the SCI
ence Of electricity that do not bear the
impress Of his mind. In 1867 he was
knighted for his work in connection
with the Atlantic cable, and in 1892 he
was created Baron Kelvin.
II IL q curious fact that Lord Kelvin,
who did 30 much to advance the worlds
knowledge Of electricity, dislIked the
electric light, says the New York Press.
when he visited the United States
some years ago with Lady Kelvin they
spent q week end with Mr.. and Mrs.
George Westinghouse, whose Lenox
home after shutdown ia blaze Of cleo
triclty.
The first night they spent there Lady
Kelvin rang up a servant to beg they
might "be accommodated with a cou-
pie Of tallow dips. as they were unac-
custOmed TO such intense light In their
bedroom"

land IL an transformations house over

where electricity IL unknown even for
public illumination.

II Is told of Lord Kelvin that he was
always busy, always actively at work
on some problem, and yet he was ro-
bust and physically ft all his life and
lived to the extreme age Of eighty
three, says the New York Times. 1t is
told Of him that once, having just re-
turned from a four months trip to
Brazil, he rushed into his nephew's
Office, grabbed him by the arm and
asked him hurriediy, Can you come
and catch a train with meT
BY his works Lord Kelvin won not
only his peerage, but also membership
in and honors from the most distin-
guished scientific organizations in the
world. He was often referred to as
the highest type of physicist, since he
combined the powers Of mathematical
reasoning with the inventive faculty
and manipulative skill of the expert
mentalist
Lord Kelvin was by no means a type
Of the absentminded, impracticable pro
lessor represented by Barrie's Profess
or GoodwIllie. But a story that is
told OF him shows that sometimes he
was thinking more about theory than
practice.
It had been the custom at Glasgow
university to have certain students call
the roll at the classes. Wishing to get
rid Of these censors, Professor Thorn
son (afterward Lord Kelvin put q
great deal OF thought into the inven-
ton OF a mechanical device for keep
ing track of the students. The device
consisted Of a box with a roll of paper
in II, and each student wrote his name
on the paper when he came In. 1t was
q long time before the professor dis
covered quite by accident that, though
the machine was working we'll, It could
not cry out when some student wrote
down the name Of an absentee.
Coeur d'Alene evening press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1907-1929, 1908-01-14

II give It up. Tell me-" But Lord
Kelvin, with twinkle in his eye, cried
with glee: "Never You must find
out for yourself" Walking through a
great electrical works. he said to a
workman quite casually. What is this
electricity Of which / hear so muchY"
The man, not recognizing his ques-
toner, answered, Il am sure ! don't
know, SIR" mo more do l." replied
Lord Kelvin. And that expresses hishu-
mility In discussing a subject on which
he knew probably as much as any hv-
ing man. 1t is this Newton-lIke hu-
mility which endeared him to his col
leagues.

Lord Kelvin, who was eighty three
years old, was not above having .

day he asked a distinguished scientist
