Floods in France.

The great foods In France. Of which
mention is made in our news columns,
have reached the proportions Of a nation
al calamity. PrutraCted storms of rain
ana sleet. which began on the 18th inst.
have raised the rivers OF the country to
the highest pitch that has been known
in the last hundred years. Hundreds of
square miles Of the lower lands are under
water, and scores Of cities and towns are
flooded. The suffering among many
thousands of people is very great, and
the fun extent Of the property loss al
ready placed at $2o0000.000 is yet to be
estimated The situation in the city of
Paris is better understood when it is
remembered that the country in which
the city lies is a shallow alluvial basin,
much of it below the river level, like our
own lower Mississippi valley The river
Seine. coming down through the plain,
flows through the city in a winding
course seven miles long. its channel mar
rowed and controlled by walls of ma
sonry on either side. Usually the depth
of the river in the city is only seven or
eight feet, but when. as now, ii is
swoolen TO resstless flood 20 or 30 feet
deep and the piled up waters flow over
into the waterfront streets the result can
be imagined. What makes the Paris sit
uation a peculiarly critical and desperate
one is the fact that the citys foundation
is literally honeycombed by its great
sewer system 800 miles long. by the cata-
combs, and by the subway system of
underground railroads which was opened
in 1900 and has since been rapidly de-
veloped. The dispatches tell us that
these underground tunnels have been
Hooded, the subway railroad traffic has
been stopped, the sewer pipes have burst
under the pressure of the water build
ings have been undermined, and water
