AFTER THE FLOOD.

The waters of the unparalleled floods
which submerged cities and farms of
several States have run their course and
are now lost in the Gulf OF Mexico. The
details of the event are already fading
into history; the people with unbounded
courage have set resolutely at work to
rebuild their homes, factories and for
tunes. Even the countless deeds of valOr,
many of which have not been excelled
upon the battlefield, are told less and
less often, as time leaves them far astern
in the irresistible forward movement of
modern activities.
The volume of water which fell in the
Ohio region during those fateful four
days has been estimated by weather
bureau expert as sufficient to fill reser-
voir five miles long, five miles wide and
five miles deep; or river 100 feet deep,
1000 feet wide and 1,4OO miles long; il
would cover the entire State of Ohio to
a depth of seven inches.
While the great flood is doubtless I'm.
likely to be duplicated in century or
two, if ever, it differed from previous
floods in the same district chiefly in vol
ume with corresponding damage. Of the
three great devastating commissions OF
Nature-f1ood, tornado and earthquake
the flood is the only one which man car
forestall. Already embryonic plans and
schemes to prevent a recurrence are
suggested, but none has been carefully
worked out and therefore no estimate is
possible of the probable cost. 1t is evil
dent, however, that any effectual remedy
must be through the medium of Fedora
Government, and, as previously suggest
ed in these pages, accomplished largely
by capitalization of the enormous water
power which would be secured by en-.
trainment of what is now only reckless
menace.
This wonderful spirit of accomplish
ment that swept the fever from the
Panama Zone and dug through noun
tains to connect two oceans, is surely
competent to first solve the problem Of
our overcoming floods. in the Ohio ane
Mississippi valleys, and then to execute
the engineering plans that will turn thu
annual panic of waters into permanent
source of power. 1t is doubtful if any
possible achievements by which Genera
Goethals might have served his country
on the battlefelds would have surpassed
the honor and enduring fame he has 81
fairly earned as constructor of the Pana
ma Canal. When the canal is completed
our army engineers may well turn theil
attention to a solution of the flood prob

STEAM DRIVEN FLYING BOAT TO CROSS
ATLANTIC.
To fly across the Atlantic Ocean in 81
hours in the largest and heaviest ship of
the air ever constructed, is the aim of a
young French law student of Chicago,
who has already constructed the hull of
an aerial craft which he will name "Na-
poleon."
This machine, which is described,
with illustrations. in the June Popular
Mechanics Magazine, is planned 10 have
the widest pair of wings ever made, con-
structed of aluminium steel. The total
weight Of the monoplane will be 5000
lbs, but the raising capacity of the
wings, as designed, will be, Theoretically
about 16, 900 lbs, sufficient to lift crew
of six men, with their provisions and
tuel supply.
The motive power is to be provided by
two $50 h. p. steam turbines, weighing
$50 lbs. each, the fuel for which will be
condensed coke. Each engine will con-
troll two 9-feet propellers of the usual
shape, one pair in front and the other
behind. Additional stability is ex-
pected to be secured by six automatic
balancers, in the form of square shutters
to open and close as the hydro aeroplane
tips beyond certain angle. A fluid in a
metal ball will control the releasing trig-
gers for each set of balancers, the action
consuming only 1.25 of a second. The
inventor claims to have foated stationary
in the air for more than 20 minutes by
means of this equipment on an ordinary
monoplane, during which time the shut
ters were kept fiuttering constantly.
1t is proposed to carry 300 lbs. of coke,
and over 500 gal. of water in two boilers,
which the inventor claims will be suf-
ciert to keep the craft in motion for Sc
hours.

In Damascus the trio presented
themselves at the one decent hotel,
and but for Ackermann's charges upon
the manager, It is doubtful II he would
have accepted them as guests: for a
more suspicious-looking trio he had
never set eyes upon. "a hotel man
weighs person by the quality Of his
clothes.) Moreover. they carried no
luggage. Ackermann went sponsor;
and knowing something Of the integ-
rity Of the rug-hunter, the manager
surrendered. And when George pre-
sented his letter Of credit at the I'm.
perial Ottoman Bank, again 1t was
Ackermann who vouched for him. 1t
had been agreed to say nothing Of the
character Of their adventure. None
Of them wanted to be followed by Gu
rious eyes.
With handful Of British gold In his

fully. He took his companions In

clothing. which after various Difficult.

And Fortune wondered how she

them. She would have to live In the

He was now what he had been two
