Call the great ilver a mile wido ba twee . levees, and tha brook a foot wide from bank to bank. A confining levee, or embank ment, ten. feet high along the river would ba represented proportionately in the casa of the brook by one less than half an inch high. How much, think you, would the brook be re strained by a-.ich a barrier after a sudden thun der shower in the Bummer or a prolonged rain? Tha United Btatos govern ment can do it, of course t It can do anything! and tha mere building of a continuous quad ruple chain of mountains along th great rivers rnav be effected if the nation sets about it Then there is that other pleasant little pro ject which contemplates storage reservoirs, wherein tha anrplus waters of early spring thall ba retained until they are wanted during tha drought of summer! If tha re doubtable Co!. Kellers had though! of tha Mississippi he need never have wasted his time in providing eye-water at a dollar a bottle for the forr hundred million of weak-eyed Asiatics. Tua whole couutry Is interested in having tho river made as useful and as harmless as possihltf, bt.t the way to do this is to learn the habits of the river, an1 adapt ourselves and our neceasitica to its c in Toiucnce.
