PARIS ONCE MORE FEARS
DAMAGE FROM FLOODS
Nothing Practical Done to Pre-
vent Repetition of Losses
of 1910.
Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
PARIS. September o5, 1912.
Although the rise in the Seine has
hitherto been insignificant, those of the
Disc and several other rivers in the vi
entity of Paris are already giving ground
for fears of possible foundations. Since
the floods of 1910 nothing practical has
been done to prevent repetition of the
enormous damage and inconvenience then
caused. and a similar rise of waters
would cause identical results. A scheme
has been elaborated for deepening the
bed Of the Seine along its whole length
from Paris to Rouen, at a cost OF about
$12 500. OOO but this is still in the EN-
bryonic stage.
In Paris floods are no new experience,
and they occurred all during the eight
zenith and nineteenth centuries, but the
antepenultimate flood of 1876 appears To
have been forgotten when that of 1910
surprised the city.
Stone Preferred to Wood.
In former times the inhabitants sub
stituted stone for wooden bridges, and
kept building parapets and auays To
keep the stream within bounds. The last
visitation, however. proved the futility
of these measures. as quarters far dis
tant suffered severely by infiltration and
flooded drains.
1t is universally recognized that the
only remedy is the deepening of the river
bed in a way to allow the water TO be
gradually carried off as 1t rises. 1t is
pointed out however, that even this
would be useless to Paris so long as the
Seine is strangled halfway along its
course through the city at the point
known as the lie de la Monnaie, which
cuts the stream into two narrow branches
each now strongly damned with stone
works. II is idle to provide an abundant
outlet lower down the stream so long as
the overflow meets this resistance in the
middle of Paris.
Awake to the Danger.
The municipal council IS quite awake to
this danger. and last December it
passed a resolution urging the immediate
necessity of taking measures to invite
remedial projects. Unfortunately the
municipality Is powerless without the as
sistance of the state, which governs
everything appertaining to the regula-
ton of the Seine. This means that par.
lament must be applied to for the huge
outlay required. and whatever may ulti-
mately happen. nothing efficacious could
to done in time for this winters eventu-
alities. 1t is estimated that the double
work Of opening out the river at the lie
de Ia Monnaie and deepening the whole
length OF the Seine would last at least
ten years, even with the greatest dill.
gence.
All that can be hoped is that the river
will be on its good behavior till the work
has been completed and that no more
time will he lost. II both these condi-

any recurrence of the floods now would
find Paris as unprepared as in 1910.
The continuous rainfall Of the last few
weeks has rendered the ground as sod.
den as a sponge. and if hitherto the rise
has been small, it is because the soil has
water to its utmost capacity.

He may think. with the assurance of
youth, that it makes no difference what

To marry a girl whose mother man

The mother who is garrulous before

into silence after that event. If she
