THE WORST Is over
Great Danger From Waters
in Paris is Passed.
EXPLANATION OF THE FLOODS
Little Fear of Predicted Disaster to
the Great City-Conditions Are
Improving Everywhere.

Paris. BY Cable.-Siowly, very
slowly. the swollen waters OF the
Seine. which reached the high mark
at = o'clock last Saturday morning,
are subsidiny and al midnight the fall
measured about four and u half IN
ches.
The danger Of some great calamity,
such as has been predicted now seems
over. although the situation contin-
ues TO be critical ut many points
within the city.
The effect OF the removal of the
water pressure has been to weaken
foundations generally and this causes
the greatest anxiety.
1t is generally believed that the
breaking of the dam at Gonnevilliers
appreciably FASTENED the climax by
releasing an immense amount Of wa
ter, but the consequences below are
appalling. Gonnevilliers and Colom-
bes, having 10000 inhabitants, are
completely submerged, the water
reached the tops Of the houses in the
lower Sectio while the food is
backing up into the very center of
ASniereS.
Certainly 10000 have been driven
from their homes by the food in the
valley of the Seine TO the hospitals
and other buildings which have been
placed at the disposition of. the re-
fugees.
The local government authorities
are displaying great devotion and
zeal i'll the work Of salvage and
rescue. Nevertheless the conditions,
especially in the country districts,
are pitiful. The houses OF farmers
are submerged to their roofs. and
in many eases the inhabitants have
lost everything including their live
stock.
\ number of deplorable incidents
have been reported. Several shop
keepers. who attempted to charge
quadruple prices have been mobbed.
while grocery who was driven to
the upper story of his house by an
angry crowd fired Il revolver. wound
ing woman. Rowdies have at
tempted to pillage many of the
houses and at several of the towns
they have been driven off by the
military.
The explanations of the floods
given by French scientists are of
especial interest. Etienne Statislas
Mouniere. the eminent geologist
considers the phenomenon to be more
of ii geological than n meteorological
nature. After explaining the action
and reaction of the water i'll the
strata below the surface. he declares
that the soil of the entire basin of
the Seine and the other big rivers
of France had become imperceptibly
filled to the point of complete satur-
alton during the preceding three
months of gentle rains with moder-
ate temperatures which retarded
evaporation. When the heavy rains
came last week the ground was sill
persaturated and the water ran of
as il from cement floor.
