HOW TO i:.MPTV A llAUItKf..
Everybody contest iu the pies-
enco of tho sea of waters now over-
spreading the valley of the Missis-
sippi that no eaitheu walls can hedge
it iu and yet no sooner do floods sub-
Hide than the stupid task is reinaugur-
ated. And what Is 11101 e amuiug
these dyke-building philosopheis
when told that outlets into the sea
must bo made would dip tho water
out fiom tho overflowing hogshead In-
stead of boiing a hole iu tho bottom
that it may empty itself. Instead of
unplugging the Mississippi and buffer-
ing it to dlscliaige Itself into Lake
llorgne -Mr. Carlisle insists that wo
must meet tho Hoods at Calto
and thero begin the pro-
cess of diversion. Ho never
though hot 11 in Kentucky emptied a
band from the buug-holo. It there
weioany lcceptaclo for tho Hoods ex-
cept tho Gulf or .Mexico .Mr. Cailisle's
icasoning would bo sound. If water
In tho river woio not an unit and
stood still at Cairo when its level is re-
duced twelve feet at Luke llorgne.
then Mr. Carlisle's reasoning would
be well founded. If ho would say that
the icduction of the river's height
twelve feet at Xow Orleans and tho
same lessening of Its height along its
whole course would not piuvonl over-
Hows and that therefore other out-
lets must bo provided and tributaries
of tho Mississippi dl voi ted then his
theories would bo uulveisally accepted.
Tin: stiit: ami thi: aiis.sfcvtfi'iM.
Hut ono great end is attained when
the gioanlng Hood now descending

It bus often been insisted that rail-
ways exert Inllnlto potency in diwet-
Jng tho course of raln-stoinis. The
railway system of tho United States
converges at ludlunnpnlls. Tho broad
distiict between tho Ohio and the
great Jakes Is striated with railways.
When Chicago was burned It was Im-
agined that tlio convergence at that
point of tlio continental system of in-
terminable eouduetois of electric cur-
leuts begot that intensity of heat which
melted thu7Vmnr building of stone
when it sunk a heap of ashes to tlio
earth. It is obcrvcd that rain-clouds
follow lallways across once atld wes-
tern plains and that vegetation
springs up along their lino or maicli
and trees rise modestly at Hist to
kiss tlio steam as it Is condensed and
then to blithe their beads at lust 111
that atmospheric sea of which we tell.
Tho dry air is filled with Invisible
clouds exhaled fiom tho ttees and
visible clouds at lastaio formed and
convusslve forces of rattling touring
thumh'rous 1 ail way trains com-
pel tho unity of particles of
molstliic; and In diamond drops they
fall and duster upon ears of com anil
about the heads of golden wheal more
beautiful than Jewels adorning faitcat
women In fashion's rovelrics. Havo
all these agencies oo-optrated in tlio
valley of tho Ohio to beget tills de-
luge 'now bending its lcsistless way
down tho overwhelmed valley of tho
Mississippi to tho sea? Did tho
iiale-faced moon empty her "bom of
plenty" upon Louisville and Cincinna-
ti? Did hillsides and valleys denuded
of vegetation thrust tho drenching
Hoods full of alluvium luto rivulets to
clioko up livers and overwhelm vil-
lages and farms? Did railways gen-
erate electric currents to draw allot'
them clouds thus humessed to count-
Icsh trains and unload at Indianapolis?
Wan there notco-oporallon of all these
forces Hindu operative by man and na-
ture to beget this more latal than
iNoaohlnn deluge? Can tho signal li-
rcatt tell or ascertaining causes can It
rcgulato or conttol tho tempests and
