question will have fair amount OF
water and the tendency will. be for
it to cut its channel deeper. The
cutting process is carried on in part
by the chemical action Of the atmos-
phere, in part by the mechanical
action of the flowing water. II mat
tiers not what the agencies are In de-
tail, the point is that 1t cuts its chan
mel deeper. This deepening of the
channel will be continued until by
and by a condition will be reached
which prevents the deepening pro-
cess being carried any further until
general environments are changed,
To give all the details substantiating
this would require too great a time,
but they are connected principally
with the law governing the carrying
power OF flowing water. The carry
ing capacity Of moving water varies
as the sixth power of the velocity.
Suppose, for instance, we have a
stream with its water moving one
mile an hour, and a second stream
with its water moving two miles an
hour. The carrying capacity Of the
water in the second stream will be
sixty-four times as great as the water
in the first stream. 1t 10 difficult
for one to believe that this statement
Is true, and yet 1t is true both in
theory and in practice, and has been,
incorporated in our standard text
books for twenty-five years or more.

IThe following interesting descrip-
ton of the Kaw river and its tribu-
taries was an address by Prof. Ha-
worth of the University of Kansas
before the Academy of Science last
month.
During recent times much inter-
est has been manifested in river
foods and how to prevent damages
from the same. This is particularly
true in eastern Kansas and south
western Missouri; a district with an
annual rainfall of from forty to
forty-fve inches, a district with
drainage streams which long ago
reached the condition of grades or
base level, and have since widened
their channels to extraordinary
widths with the usual meanderings
by which the actual lengths OF the
channels have been increased many
fold; a district subject to exceeding
" irregular precipitation and one,
therefore, which Is liable to have a
period of foods at any time in the
year or to have none at all. Else
where in America a like interest Is
manifested, partly due to increasing
damages from foods as a necessary
result of increase in population and
improvements, but largely due to
the general tendency of federal and
state governments to look into mat
tiers Of general public interest, and
where deemed possible to give aid
for a betterment Of conditions.
This last aspect of the subject is
modern-scarcely more than a dec
ade old in most states-and, as a
result, little has yet been accom-
plished beyond preliminary discus
sions of methods to be executed la
ter. Practically all the states in the
mississippi valley have taken up the
matter in one way or another, SO
that we now find measures enacted
into law on the statute books Of the
several states. Such statutes, al
though varying greatly in detail, are
fairly uniform in one respect. name
IL, the creation by law OF certain
drainage districts with power to as
sess taxes on real estate for the pur-
pose OF making such improvements
as each Individual district may deem
advisable. The federal government
likewise has at least two depart
ments-the Department Of Agricul-
ture and the U. s. Geological Survey
each Of which is giving attention
to the subject and for which limited
appropriations have been made by
the congress Of the United States.
In each instance Investigations Of
flood conditions are, in . measure
sutwined with those Of reclaiming
swamp Lands and marshes.

FLOODS and THE KANSAS RIVERS.
The Kaw from Its Source to Mouth
By Prof. Erasmus Haworth.

some preliminary surveys in the val
ley of the Neosho river with a de
sire to ascertain what could be done
to prevent such vast destruction o.
property by floods Of that stream
Our neighboring state, Missouri, BY
proper legislation, has legalized the
drainage district idea and in one mo-
table case a comparatively large dis
trict has been organized and work
is we'll under way whereby vast sums
of money will be expended and q
most interesting experiment under
taken. / refer to the work nov
progress of the Marais des Cygnes
river in the southwestern part OF
Bates county near Rich Hill.
Since the unusually high and des-
tructive floods OF 1903 different rail-
road companies have attempted to
guard against further damage by
building their grades excessively
high across river valleys. This is
notably true with the Santa Fe line
across the Wakarusa valley south VI
Lawrence and across the Verdigris
river valley just east Of Indeptn-
dence, Kansas. The present condi-
tions in the Kansas river valley If
the vicinity of Kansas City, likewise,
should be mentioned in this connec-
ton. Where the various railroad
lines cross and recrOss the valley in
many different ways, apparently the
management for each line has at
tempted to lift his grade as high as
possible with a hope OF keeping the
track above the water level in times
of great floods. Years ago similar
attempt was made by the Missouri
Pacific and other railroad compan-
les whose lines cross the Marias des
Cygnes river valley in the vicinity OF
Pleasanton and LaCygne, Kansas,
and eastward towards the Missouri
state line.
At the present time there seems to
be a prevailing idea that local, some
times exceedingly local, improve
ments or precautions can be taken
which, when properly executed, will
protect a local area against flood
damages regardless Of what is done
elsewhere in q given river valley.
This is notably true along the Kan
sas river. Under the state law Great
ed by the state legislature called in
extraordinary session in the summer
Of 1908, Immediately after the des-
tructlve food Of that summer, drain
age districts have been organized
and much agitation has resulted re-
gardIng what to do and how to do
Il There seems TO be a general SEN
timent OF widespread extent that all
any local area need 70 do u to or
eanire q drainage district according
70 law, obtain the assistance Of an
ensiueer, and in a comparatively
sssy ana simple way protect them
,slvss AGAINST an future food de-
rnrisfion.
