piled to the Mississippi.
Under Mr.. Bryan's plan canals of ma
sonry would be constructed across PENN
sulars at the bends of rivers. The in
take of the canal would be on the level
with the normal surface water of the
river and at flood time the waters would
be diverted from the slow, crooked.

explained that his method was devised
under the theory that ii is the accumu-
lated water in devious, unevenly con-

Mr. Bryan said that if his plan were
adopted the flooding of towns and cities

Dr. Allan Greenwood, of Boston, de-

Jen- ning's brother, was one of a Harvard large number of nurses, who went to France last June, and performed field hospital service for three rnontss. It was a hospital of one thousand beds. Dr. Greenwood was in command of the sanitary arrangements and of the eve works, which is his speciality. He first drew a mind picture of what happens when a country is unprepar- ed In 1898 he was in Porto Rico as regimental surgeon with the Nine teenth regulars, and saw the evil ef- fects of being unprepared. He was the only surgeon available and had from two to three hundred patients a day. He had charge besides of a tent hospital of twentyfour beds. No nurses. only men. The camp was not prepared and the deaths from disease and not sufficient assistance was ap- paling. He gave steriopticon views taken by himself. First, he showed the steamship on which the party sailed, and of different features of the voyage. There were several views of country through which they passed, in England and France. and principal ly the views were of the hospitals in which they were stationed. So conn pIete was the detail of work that there was not a single case of lock-jaw, and only three cases of typhoid. In the three months the death rate was less
