wl Flood Commission Supporis the Water Conservationists Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 26.—That the Flood Commission of Pittsburgh is ac- tively interested in the plans of the Water Conservation Association of Pennsylvania was made plain in an in. terview yesterday with W. M. Jacoby, executive secretary of the Flood Com- mission. He stated that the new asso- ciation hopes to solve the water prob- lem in Pennsylvania so as to prevent flocds and at the same time create a new asset to the state. “The Floocd Commission is co-oper- ating with the Water Conservation Association,” sald Mr. Jacoby, “for the purpose of assisting in determin- ing what means can ie taken to con- serve the water resources in Pennsy!- vania, prevent floods and improve op- erating conditions. “In no other state are conditions so bad in respect to lack of control of the water supply, both from the stand- point of utilization and from the standpoint of preventing damage from excessive floods. Owing to the heavy precipitation over this area the rivers and streams throughout the state of Pennsylvania are subject to more ex- treme fluctuations than is the case elsewhere. Inasmuch as the timber has been practically all removed through- out the drainage area of the rivers in the state this great downfall of water immediately runs off, causing at times excessive floods and conditions which bring about serious damage to indi- vidua! property owners and to cities and towns along the banks of streams. “In former days the control of these streams was better than at present. Before the passing of the timber these streams in many places were provided with dams which tended to hold water and In a measure contral ii. Those dams have largely disappeared, with the result that in the absence of any contro! the waters are allowed to flow unrestrained. | “Taking a single instance, that of the Susquehanna river: Statistics show that over a period of twenty years the average damage caused by extreme high water approximtes $1,000,000 each year. The lozs by reason of inefficiency of this river for navigation and power purposes is not to be covered so ac- curately, but doubtless represents an enormous loss. “In the western part of the state and particularly in the Pittsburgh dis- trict the steadily increasing damage due from flood= resulted in the forma- tion of the Flood Commission. We have investigated the possibility of re- ~ lief measures and are able to present plans for this section which would be applicable in all parts of the state for preventing floods, developing water power, aiding navigation and improv- ing the quality of water for domestic consumption at a comparatively small cost compared to the enormous bene- fits obtained. Our commission has found that floods are continually in- creasing in frequency and height, and conservatively estimates that the direct losses due to flood damage at Pitts. burgh alone will am~-~t to $40,000,000 In the next twenty v. .rs. The naviga- tion interests in this section are co- operating in the movement with the Flood Commission. “It is the intention of those inter- ested in the Water Conservation As-' sociation of Pennsylvania to urge the enactment of laws at the next session | of the legislature to give the state broader powers to cope with the water question. We believe that not only can | the costly floods be prevented, but’ that the water that does so much dam- | age can be turned inte a real asset to the state.” Ear Works as Eye For Blind. A remarkable invention has recent- ly been made by Dr. Fournier D'Albe, | a lecturer on physics at Birmingham | University, England, who announces | that he has perfected an Instrument | which he calls the optophone, by | means of which the blind are enabled ' to use the ear as an eye. The invention makes use of seleni- um, the byproduct of the manufacture | of sulphuric acid from iron pyrites. Metallic selenium conducts electricity, and when exposed to light possesses the peculiar property of diminishing its resistance in direct ratio to the intensity of the light. That is to say, the greater the intensity of light fall- ing upon metallic selenium is the less opposition the selenium offers to the passage through itself of an electrical current. In Dr. D'Albe’s invention the elec- trical current generated by this change in resistance is transmitted through telephone receivers fitted to the head of a blind person, who, when a light is Brought near him, becomes conscious of a noise which increases in volume as the intensity of the illumination is increased and vice versa. A common arc light generates a distinct rumble Title sunlight produces a loud roaring no ! 1 Wear to Gold Coins. There are probably millions of dol lars in gold coin circulating in the United States which are not worth their face value. This fact has been calied to the attention of Lee Mec: Clung, treasure. of the United States, but the government has no desire to recall the’'money. The wear caused by abrasions in circulation has made the Money to Loan. Constitutional Amendments Fine Job Printing. !
