RIVERS IN FLOOD TIMES.
Why the Water In the Center 10 High.
or Than Near the Banks.

Why the Water In the Center 10 High.
or Than Near the Banks.
Why swiftly flowing rivers are high
er at the center than near the banks
is thus explained in a bulletin Of the
United States geological surrey:
1.-THE elevation Of the center Of a
stream above Its margins during
food Is generally the result Of the
roughness of its bed. Bowiders, sand
waves and rifles and even sand grains
turn parts Of the current that strike
against them outward from tho banks
and upward from the bottom Of tho
channel. The particles directly de-
fected by the obstacles may move but
a short distance In that direction, but
their energy is transmitted to other
particles and by them to still others.
setting up system Of forces that act
toward the upper middle part Of the
stream. -
can forces acting in a liquid cause
motion until friction completely wastes
the energy involved. Therefore these
forces cause movements In the streams
mass that converge toward the upper
central part Of the cross section. This
causes the center Of the stream to
rise above the margins until hydraulic
head balances the detected forces.
1.-THE height to which the center Of
q stream may rise above its margin
depends upon the size, shape and
roughness Of the channel and the We
locity Of the current. It IL greater In
relatively deep and narrow streams and
in rough than IN smooth channels."

this purpose by tribe Of Tartars In
