ASTONISHING POWER of RUNNING WATER

BY GEORGE FREDE RICKWRIGHT A.M.,LL.D.

y'"" z HE power of running water Tto remove sand, gravel and pebbles Increases In a remarkable degree with the Increase in velocity, so v that mining engineers can gh—-ip make accurate calculaSuA Jhy tions concerning the. ve■kJfe locity which Is necessary to remove stones of a certain size from their sluiceways. The transporting power increases 64 times with each doubling of the velocity; so that If you increase the velocity threefold you have increased the transporting power of the water 729 times and if you quadruple it you have increased the weight of the pebble which It would move 4,096 times. This at first thought seems Incredible, but it Is nevertheless true, and prepares us to appreciate the astonishing results that are produced by running water. Water moving three feet In a second, or a mile in six hours, will carry along with it particles of fine clay and keep them In suspension. Water moving at twice that velocity will lift and carry along with It fine sand; while a velocity four times as great will sweep along fine gravel and water moving at the rate of two miles an hour will carry along stones as big as a hen’s egg. There Is hardly any limit to the size of a pebble that would be rolled along by a current of six or eight miles an hour,, blocks as big as houses being sometimes set in motion and transported for considerable distances. In various ways one can obtain positive evidence of this power of water transportation. If, for Instance, he attempts to wade across the Platte river in Nebraska, which is overloaded with sand and has a gradient of seven or eight feet to the mile, and hence a very rapid current, he will find his bare legs stung by the particles of sand and fine gravel that are driven against them. Or If after a storm one pauses to listen he will hear what sounds like distant cannonading, produced by the knocking of the stones together as they are rolled along upon the bottom of the stream. The erosive power of a stream flowing over a rocky bed is determined by Its ability to shove along sand and pebbles and gravel over its bottom. It Is these particles of solid matter that accomplish the erosion, acting as a rasp, or sandpaper, or more properly a sand blast, to remove the solid rock beneath and deepen the channel of a stream. In order to do this, however, there has to be proper adjustment between the supply of loose solid matter to be transported and the volume and velocity of the water. If there Is more sand and gravel than the current can handle, this will accumulate upon the bottom and fill up rather than deepen the bed. If there Is too little material the stream will flow over the rocks without effecting much erosion, while if there Is just the right amount of solid matter to be shoved along It will deepen the channel with great rapidity. There are many striking examples of the work which has been accom pUshed by rivers in deepening and widening their channels. We look upon the rise of mountain chains as being most majestic illustrations of the power of natural forces, but the fact Is equally impressive that In many cases rivers which run across the line of mountain elevation are able to wear down their channels as fast as the mountains rise and thus maintain their ancient onward course. The Hudson river has thus sawed down a channel through the solid rocks which In ancient geologic times arose across Its course at West Point and below, all that picturesque valley of the Hudson being a valley of erosion. The Delaware river has worn an even more striking gorge through the Blue Ridge at the Delaware Water Gap, where It cuts directly across the very hard strata of Medina sandstone constituting Bine Ridge, forming perpendicular walls on either side 1,000 feet In height Similar gorges are found In the Susquehanna and Potomac and many other rivers along the Appalachian chain just above where they emerge upon the surrounding lowland. We often speak of such rivers as “bursting” through their barrier. But there was no bursting In the operation. These gorges were cut by the stow process which we have described, the rivers lowering their channels gradually as the mountains slowly rose •cross them. Among the most striking examples of rivers which have by erosion kept pace with the elevation of mountains across their course Is that of the Columbia river, in Oregon, where for a long distance it occupies a trough running directly through the mown tain chain thousands of feet In depth. Another very striking Instance Is that to be seen ta the Amur river where it crosses the Bureya monntatoa in •astern Siberia. For nearly 100 miles

the stream crosses this range with a gradient that is continuous with that of the vast pralrie regions above and below. The Yenisei river has cut a similar gorge across the granite mountain' chain which rose up to

separate the fertile plains of Minusinsk from the vaster plains of northern Siberia. Coming to our own country, we have in addition to the streams already mentioned, gorges and canons on a most Impressive scale in the upper part of the Susquehanna river, where the east branch cuts across the Allegheny mountains south of the state of New York, and forms the beautiful Wyoming valley, which is wholly one of erosion. The west branch has likewise cut a gorge of equal dimensions 50 miles or more in length west of Williamsport, which is fully |,OOO feet in: depth, as one can see by the fact that here the coal mines on either side are that distance above the bed of the stream and of the railroad track. Coming to the

Matchmaking of Japanese

Mr. Orlo Tamura, as we will call our young gentleman, is about twenty years old, an article in the Wide World says. He is an up-to-date Japanese, and has put off all thoughts of matrimony until this comparatively late date—for Japan—in order to finish his university studies. Now 3 however, he has finished his training, and has Intimated to his father, as a dutiful son should, that he would like to marry. That is all he is required to do, at present; it is the business of his parents to take the next step. Orio’s father, presumably, has some quiet talks with his wife on the subject, and then betakes himself to a professional matchmaker, or go-be-tween. These marriage brokers are a class apart—discreet men of the world, with a good deal of insight into human nature. For the sake of hie own reputation and future the go-between usually does his best to please all parties. Sometimes, in the east as in the west, love laughs at restraints, and somebody or other conveys a hint to the marriage broker that a meeting between Mr. A and Miss Z might not be unacceptable to both; in which case the task is easy. Usually, however, he takes time to look around him, and he in turn —how indispensable the ladies are in these

Fate of a Merchant of Fez

The merchants of Fez are to be found all over Morocco. In due course All Mahmoud launches out into business on a large scale, says the London Graphic. He prospers exceedingly and presently purchases a black female slave to assist his wife in her duties. All Mahmoud takes a house in the pleasant olive groves. In course of time he buys two more slaves and is fairly set up as a householder. When his first daughter is bortt there is great rejoicing. The baby is immediately stained all over its little body with henna and then smeared liberally with butter and wrapped in woolen clothes. On the seventh day these are removed and the child is washed for the first time. When the girl has reached her first year her head is shaved, leaving a little tuft by which Mohammed could catch her up to heave* If he were so disposed. In her seventh year her hair has grown long again. She is then veiled, and her proud father sets about looking for a husband for her. It is still the custom to betroth children from infancy.' All Malmoud prospers, and. save for a few domestic troubles, his life runs smoothly, in the evenings All will sit and smoke in the bosom of his family. On Thursdays and Saturdays he visits hie friends. They pass

PART OF THE DELTA OF THE MISSISSIPPI

other side of the Allegheny mountains, one strikes into the various branches of the Ohio river and fluds himself in a trench several hundred feet below the general level of the land, and extending for more than 1,000 miles in length untH the river emerges into the center of the Mississippi valley. The upper part of the Mississippi occupies a similar gorge for a still greater distance. Everywhere along this portion of their course on ascending either side of the rivers to the summit, one will find himself upon a vast plain, extending off in either direction, whose main superficial irregularities are those which have been produced by the erosion of the countless smaUer streams which joined together make the great rivers.

matters—consults his wife. At last, carefully considering the official and social position of the persons and families interested, he suggests that a certain Miss Chrysanthemum would make a most desirable bride for the “learned son of the honorable house of Tamura.” Once more Orio’s father consults his wife and sundry other relations, and, having no fault to find with the gobetween’s suggestion, instructs the latter to proceed. The marriage broker’s next step is to approach the parents of the young lady he has in view and arrange a formal appointment for mutual inspection—it is known as the "look-at-each-other meeting”—between the prospective bride and bridegroom at the house of the bride’s father, and in the presence of that gentleman and the go-between himself. The meeting usually takes the form of a conventional tea party, at which the prospective bride does the honors. It Is perhaps unnecessary to add that she does not wear the oldest clothes on this occasion. Here, for the first time in their. Hves, the young lady and Orio set eyes on each other. Etiquette forbids them to speak to each other, but nevertheless they are doubtless very busy taking “stock” of the other's appearance and manners.

Such I^the uncertainty of fate in Morocco. He was serving in his shop when the customer suddenly raised his voice and cried out that he was getting false weight. The accusation was terrible, and All vehemently protested his Innocence. It was an arranged charge by an enemy of the merchant, who philosophically bowed his head with this saying: •‘Kismet! Mine enemy has found me, and the serpent requires milk.” The arbitrators were called, and, having been bribed previously, they find Mahmoud guilty and sentence him to the usual punishment meted out to givers of false weights. He Is dragged to the southern wall of the ctty.to a place where a tall gibbet is erected. By the irony of fate it is within sight of his own house, it rope is made fast to,hfs right wrist and hoisted up until his toes can just touch the ground. Here he is left till sunset. The Idlers jeer at him and the gamins of the quarter pelt him with stones and refuse. At sundown his friends carry him home. Broken and disgraced, thus ended his career a< a respectable merchant

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

“When my boy was six years old, he suffered terribly with' eczema. He could neither sit still nor He quietly In bed, for the Itching was dreadful. He would Irritate spots by scratching with his nails and that only made them worse. A doctor treated him and we tried almost everything, but the eczema seemed to. spread. It started In a small place on the lower extremities and spread for two years until it very nearly covered the back part of his leg to the knee. "Finally I got Cutlcura Soap, Cutlcura Ointment and Cutlcura Pills and gave them according to directions. I used them in the morning and that evening, before I put my boy to bed, I used them again and the Improvement even In those few hours was surprising, the inflammation seemed to be so much less. I used two boxes of Cutlcura Ointment, the same of the Pills and the Soap and my boy was cured. My son Is now In his seventeenth year and he has never had a return of the eczema. “I took care of a friend’s child that had eczema on Its face and limbs and I used the Cutlcura Soap and Ointment They acted on the child just as they did on my son and It has never returned. I would recommend the Cutlcura Remedies to anyone. Mrs. A. J. Cochran, 1823 Columbia Ave., Philadelphia, Pa., Oct 20, 1909.’’

A Teacher in the Making.

She was a popular young normal student, who had been to a party the night before, and as a consequence, was “not prepared” in the geography class. The woman Instructor, true to her method of drawing upon the general knowledge of a student rather than to permit a failure, after eliciting two or three inconsequential "stabs” from her fair but jaded disciple, asked for the products of China. The victim brightened. “Tea,” she asserted, preparing to sit down. “Yes, and what else?” encouraged the instructor. The young woman smiled with sweet hopelessness. “Now you can mention others, I am sure. Just think about it.” “Tea,” drawled the flute-like voice of the pretty girl, “and,” puckering her forehead with an intellectual tour de force, “and laundry work.”— Youth’s Companion.

Get After the Files.

With the warm days flies multiply amazingly. Now is the time to attack them and prevent the breeding of millions from the few hundreds that already exist Perhaps the most effective method of destroying flies is by burning pyrethrum in each room. This stuns the files and they can be swept up and burned. Flies are dangerous carriers of disease and an enemy of humankind.

Wilbur Wright was talking to a Dayton reporter about the Daily Mail’s 150,000 aerial race from London to Manchester. “It was shocking, though,” said the reporter, “that Graham White, an An-glo-Saxon flying man, let himself be beaten by a Frenchman.” Mr. Wright smiled. “Shocking?” he said. “It was more than that. It was a-Paulhan.”
