Great Danger From" Waters
in Paris is Passed. s
EXPLANATION OF THE FLOODS
little Tear of Predicted Disaster to
the' Great City--Conditions Are
Improvliuf Everywliere.
Paris, By Cable. Slowly, very
wlv. the swollen waters of the
Seine, which reached the high mark
at 2 o'clock last Saturday morning,
are subsiding and at midnight the fall
measured about four and a half in
ches. : . :!i i .
The danger of some great calamity,
each as has been predicted &or seems
over, alUaough the situation contin
ues to be critical at many points
within the city..
The effett of the rcaoen-al of the
irater pressure has been to weaken
founltftions generally ad this causes
i It is generally belierwecl that the
breaking of thedam a.t Gonnevilliers
apiareciably hastened the climax by
releasing an immense amount of.wa
te, but the conseqwaices below are
appaling. Gonnevillasers and Colom
bes. having 30,000 inhabitants, are
completely; submoged, . the water
reached the tops of (the houses in the
lower sections wicfle the" flood is
backing up into tie very center of
.Asnieres. ' . '
Certainty 40JOTJlhave been driven
from their homes by the flood in Ibe
valley of the Seme to the hospitals
andj other buildings which have bteen;
placed at the Ssposition of the ire-;
fusees. . !
Ttie local semment anthoxatieB
are displaying qreat devotion and'
zeal Sin the work of salvage and
rescue. Nevertheless the .conditions,
especially sa Ihe country districts,
are pitifuL- The houses of farmers
ai submerged to their roofe, nfl
in many cases the inhabitants !have
losU everytijEg including tkeir !Ihre
stock. -
A number rff deplorable ineideitts
have been Teported. Several shop-
keepers, tkm , attempted to Charge
quadruple ,il5cesl Jl&T
while a pPocery who was dnven w
jl the upper tory of his house "by an
anry crowd ffired a revolver, -wound -
; ing a woman. Rowdies have at
tempt ed to 'pillage many of fhe
i .houses aTifi iat several of t!be towns
they have Ibeen driven eff "by fhe
military. t
The explanations of the "floods
given by French scientists are of
'especial Trfterest. Etienne Stifitas
Mouniere, 'the eminent 'geologist,
considers fbe- phenomenon to he more
of a geolojjreal than a meterologiral
nature. After explaining the -action
and reaction of the water in fhe
strata below the surface, he declares
that the eoil of the entire bas'in of
the Seine and the other big rivers
of France Trad become imperceptibly
filled to frie point of complete 'satur
ation during the preceding three
months of gentile rains, with moder
ate temper; rtures which retarded
evaporation.' "When the heavy rains
came .last wreek the ground was; su
persaturated' and the water ran' 'df
as if from a cement floor.
