Phone 108, FORECASTING GREAT FLOODS. A Prognostication Which Should Have . Saved Much Property. Early In 1897, telegrams were posted In n hundred cities along the Missis sippi, warning the Inhabitants to pre pare for tremendous floods, writes John Elfreth Watkins In .Technical World Magazine. Those warnings went so. far as to name the exact date—soemtlme two or three weeks oft — when the coming flood would be at Its height, and even Stated the number of feet above low Water mark which the water would reach. They were slg|ied by the chief of the weather bureau at Washington. The Inhabitants of Cairo, of New Orleans, and of the towns and cities between, read these sensational mes sages, looked qut at the shrunken Father of Waters flowing calmly along within his banks, and sniffed con temptuously. They were not gqjng to be scared by a lot of fool scientists In Washington!* Only a comparatively few timid people were at all alarmed impressed.

Even the newspapers took the matter .up, and tjeolded the government fpr allowing the weather bureau to frighten need lessly a lot of Billy old women. Finally, the date, set tor. the ( coming of the flood arrived, and wlth'lt camo the water. The greatest flood for more than half a century swept;down the Mississippi and overflowed tnbre than' IsWuv square miles qf land. The ihhfn streets of a hundred towns and cities were under water,, and-at-some points;- practically the only propei iy not dam aged was that of the ridiculed people who had' heeded the despised warning of the weather bureau. And It was es timated that property to the vaiue of $15,000,000 . was saved, which would certainly have been destroyed but for the advance notice whldh its owners had been wise enough to heed.
