ON CONTINENT -* i Fifth Place Among Large Rivers of North America Flow, Ranges From to 254,(MH) Cubic' Fe»t of Water a Second Washington, Nov. CO. —The Yukon J river in Alaska is one of the great, rivers of the North American contin- 1 ent.. A brief report 011 the discharge j of the Yukon river at tiagle, Alaska, I by E. A. Porter and K. \Y. Davenport, i has just been issued bv the United i States geological survey as water sup- j ply paper 345-F. Probably few people] have an adequate conception of the size of this river and characteristics of its flow. A. if. Brooks, of the geo logical survey, gives tho Yukon nt'th place among the large rivers in North! America and estimates its drainage j area at about 330,000 square miles. I Its length, including the Lewes and] TesJin rivers, is given in the report as j 3.200 miles. This may be compared with 6,000 miles for the Mississippi i and Missouri, 2,56S miles for the, Mackenzie, 2,000 for the Colorado combined with Green river, and 1,300 for the Ohio combiued with the Alle gheny. The discharge of the Yukon varies from a maximum of 254,000 to a mini mum of 10.100 cubic feet a second, or an estimated average How of 73,204) cubic feet. This is a relatively small | discharge, the average flow of the Mis- ; sissippi being 695,000, that of the Ohio. 300,000, and that of the Colo- i rado 23,300 second-feet. The Nile, with ! a drainage area of 1.262,000 square ] miles, has an average tlow of 116,000 j cubic feet a second. The flow of the ] Yukon is therefore relatively small as related to its drainage area, and this apparent anojualv is accounted for by] ■thtf fact jtifct tie interior i>f Alaska] has the small rainfall ''characteristic of that portion of the United States, which lies between the Sierra Nevada and the Rocky mountains, north of the ] latitude of Salt Lake City.'' Navigation on the Y'ukon has so im- j port-ant a bearing on transportation ] in interior Alaska that it has given i rise to a general recognition of two ] seasons—the "closed season," when 1 the Yukon is either filled with floating! ice or frozen over, and the "open sea-' son." The break-up of tie ice usually' occurs about the middle of May, after ] which the river is open to transports-) tion for five or six months, or a little j longer. The break-up is not only an • event of great economic significance to j the inhabitants in the interior of ] Alaska, but it presents features oft great dramatic interest as well. One| who has witnessed it, according to ] the authors of the survey report, can ] hardly imagine the impressiveness of | the spectacle. From bank to bank the surface of the river is a solid mass of j huge moving ice cakes, which are con-1 stantlv grinding and disintegrating I with an awe-inspiring exhibition of re- j sistless force. The freeze-up is less spectacular, With the increasing cold of the au-! tumn slush ice forms in the river and 1 as the cold becomes more intense the! ice increases in volumn until finally j it is sufficient to bridge the entire, stream. This means the termination j of navigation on the Yukon until tbo following May. The Geological Survey 'g measure ments of stream flow near Eagle were made during the winter at a point about 2 miles above the town, where j the river is 1.600 feet wide, by cutting holes through the ice at intervals of 50 feet and making soundings. In this way the exposed section of the | river was determined and the velocity of the stream at eaoh hole was deter- i mined by a Price current meter. Dur ing the period of break-up discharge' measurements were made by means of ice floats. Iu the open season the flow was determined by the same method j as on any large river. The maximum discharge measured in 1911 was on May 22, when the vol ume was 253,000 second-feet. The width of the water surface at the measuring section was 1,643 feet and the greatest depth of the river was 28.7 feet. The average surface velocity was 5.8 miles an hour.

Boston, Nov. 20. —Criticism of the [administration's attitude iu connection I with the recent firing upon a boat from ; I the cruiser Tennessee in Turkish [ waters, and with the Tampico incident in the Mexican troubles, was made last night by United States Senator Henry j Cabot Lodge. Speaking before the Middlesex Club, a Republican organi sation, the said: "The administration is content to ; have it appear that the Tennessee was j fired upon to give warning of mines, but i you all know what happened at Tam pico. Then within three days American ! sailors were in Mexican waters and shedding their blood. And now—now the incident of the salute seems to have been forgotten. And the flag was never saluted. "All our efforts should have been devoted to bringing about pacification in Mexico instead of getting liuerta out ;of office. As it is ao«v, Mexieo is in the throes of revolution and the two pets of this administration, Carranza and Villa, are at each other's throats." "The party iu power should remem ber," Mr. Lodge added, "that these are parlous times. It shou'l inquire into the state of our defense. The President says this is an academic ques tion. This is a fighting world —a fight ing age. us find out the condition i of our army and our navy and the state iof our preparedness. Lict those find iings be made known to the people and then let the people say whether the money should be divested from build ing southern postoffices to our defense." !
