Psychology of Speed.

There are many sins of civilization,
but speed is one of them and the
latest born, laments the Ohio State
Journal. Except in a courtroom,
speed is an obstacle 1t is in the way
Of true success, for it is Indifferent to
all the laws of life. A man who goes
so fast that he fails to see the quiet
and beautiful things along the way is
injuring his mind and breaking up
his nerves. If we had family OF sew
eral children and put them in an
automobile and raced them off at
20 miles an hour, we would regard
ourselves their mortal enemy, for they
will never grow up with their nerves
steady or their intellects lively.
The alienists say that in 200 years
the human family will all be lunatics.
1t won't be that long, if the speed of
autos is kept up to over twenty miles
an hour. Indeed, many of these wild
and reckless drivers are getting that
way now, and they are pulling every
body down with them. But save the
children, and if the old lunatics must
have their way, take the children out
and keep them at home.

available when the conduit Is first put
IN service. The fact Is that II New
York gets 250,00O,000 gallons each day
from the Catskills regularly II will be
drawing from that region just about as
much as can be- expected. Now think
OF what this means with the present
rate of growth of the FIVE boroughs.
In 1910. five years after the system
was authorized, the total population Of
Greater New York was 47C6, S33. To-
day. according to the latest estimates.
It Is 55S3s7l, "A growth in four years
Of Sl6,9SS. Five years hence New York
will have no fewer than $500. 900 per-
sons living within It's gates. This does
not include the hundreds Of thousands
Of commuters and other transients. SO
It Is apparent that the water supply
must increase yearly.
The Croton watershed will continue
TO supply part Of the c!ty's needs and
probably II can be relied upon for n
daily allowance OF 350000O 600 gallons.
but the Esopus watershed. the only one
of the four Catsklll reservations now
available, cannot, in a series OF dry
years, be depended upon for more than
a dlurnal supply of 250.000,000 gallons.
Where, then, is the city to get all the
water It will need half a decade hence
when, in all probability the population
will number quite 100000? II is plain
that the $50, 900 900 from the Croton re-
g!on and the 25O,OOO,OO gallons from
the Esopus watcrshed--a combined to-
tai of 900 600 900 galloEs-will not suf-
flee If the present allowance of 100 gal
Ions per capita daily for man. woman
and child Is maintained.
| AS has been said. the supply region
originally planned comprised four
| drainage areas with n total spread of
nearly 500 square miles. Now. taking
them separately, the basins are of the
following areas: Esopus, 255 square
miles: Schohare, 22S square miles
Rondout. 1871 square miles, and Catsklll
| Creek, 1863 square miles. SO far the city
authorities have confined their efforts
to providing storage facilities for the
Esopus region, representing but trlfle
| over 2S per cent. OF the total estimated
area. and this in part explains the
| predcament which the Water Supply
Board anticipates and which II proposes
to meet by adding to the city's resources
as soon as possible the next largest
watershed area, that of Schoharie. But
there is a curious obstacle In the way.
Back in 1905 New York sought to
have reserved for Its use the four
watersheds named. Agrecably to the
requirements OF the law. advertisements
were duly posted throughout the several
counties from which concessions were
to he asked. For some reason not given

Schobar!e? you may ask. Tho map
with this article will help 10 answer
your questions. The Schoharie tunnel
is but ten miles long. Tho Rondout
aqueduct Is neaBy twice rs long. not
counting the bigger engineering prob
lem involved in the Lackawack Reser-
voir, compared with that at Prattsvlle.
Remember. too. that apart from these
disadvantages the Rondout watershed
Is 1871 square miles, as against 22S
square miles OF the Schoharie reser-
walton. True. the Catskill section could
be utilized. but again see what that
would involve.
To make use Of the Catskil rescrva-
ton It would he necessary TO build three
mpounding reservoirs, and in order to
link their waters with the main basin
at Ashokan II would be needful To lead
them via an aqueduct nearly thirty
miles long. Either OF these aqueducts
would take longer 10 build than the
Schoharie tunnel, and there are other
obstacles OF a physical character that
make It vitality important that New
York should tap first the Schoharie
watershed.
Then the Catskill reservation Ia not
strictly OF mountainous character.
The country Is OF a fairly unduatng
nature, especially suitable TO husbandry
whilo the soil is OF very absorptive
character. The result is that It offers a
poor runoff for the rainfall and 1t would
be extremely difficult and costly To
gather and store the waters rhere even
IL an acqucduct were constructed and
dams and reservoirs built and designed
But" you will probably say. "let
us begin at Rondout and follow on to
the Catskill watershed later on" Again
we are face to face with opposing condi-
lions of Natures making
that were not AT first suspected
Since the Water Supply Board begain
! it's work at Esopus some of its en-
gineers have been busy making test
borings In the Rondout watershed in
order to discover the character of the
substrata. These explorations have been
extremely discouraging from a construc-
tional point of view. Just where the
| dam would have TO be built and the
aqueduct led Is the remnant OF many
centuries gone in the shape OF a valley
filled with glacial drift, This is very
deep and overies stratum OF clay
beneath which are sand and gravel
saturated with water under pressure
Below this, at a depth OF some hundreds

OF Montgomery and Schenectady were
not duly placarded in the manner pre-
scribed. Accordingly they were techni-
cally unaware of the disposition to be
made Of certain of their remote water
rights. and on account of this neglect
the State authorities refused to set
aside this particular watershed. but
granted the Catskill, Esopus and Ron
dout reservations.
Possibly 1t may seem that there Is
no need for present anxiety, because
the combined area OF the Rondout and
Catskill watersheds is matter of
294 square miles But there are physi-
cal drawbacks OF a discouraging nature
which We're not realized, some OF them,
when the Rondout and Catskill sections
were set aside. The situation has been
rendered more acute OF late by the
position taken by John A. Bensel State
Engineer. whose particular object OF
concern is the States barge canal.
According to Mr.. Bensel It would be
exceedingly unwise to permit the city
OF New York to obtain the Schoharie
extension OF the Catskill watershed
because In this way the water supply
OF the barge canal would be menaced in
the neighboring section of the Mohawk
River division. is Mr.. Bensel justified
in taking this position?
The total area of the Schoharie water
shed is "A matter of $40 square miles.
The area to be drained above the pro-
posed Prattsvlle dam-the storage
reservoir for New York city-Covers
22S square miles. Thus there would
still be left 702 square miles out of
the total Schoharie reservation from
which water could be gathered for the
streams feeding into the Mohawk. forty
miles away II IL therefore apparent
that the requirements OF the State
barge canal do not conflict with the
water supply needs of this city.
There is vital reason why New York
should have the Schoharie watershed
set aside for its uses at an early date,
There are legal and engineering aspects
that must he provided for now. In
any event possibly two years would
pass ere work could be actually started
Now the project as planned provides
for a dam at Prattsville and ten mile
tunnel leading 20 a feeder creek drain
| ing into the Ashokan Reservoir, the
great impounding basin for the Esopus
watershed. Even after contracts are
let for the Prattsville dam and the con-
Meeting tunnel IT will take five years
to link. the Schoharie region with that
OF the Esopus and to bring their waters
to New York. All told this part of the
orign undertaking could not, under
| the circumstances, be finished in less
than seven years.

gone, and New York IL not yet drink
