Died. Dexter Parshall Cooper, 57, hydraulic engineer who in 1919 conceived a plan for harnessing the tide which piles from the Bay of Fundy into narrow St. John's River so fast that a waterfall pours up-stream-a plan later half realized in the unfinished $36,000,000 Passamaquoddy power project; of a heart attack; in Boston. With his brother, the late Hugh Lincoln Cooper, he helped plan the Keokuk, Iowa dam across the Mississippi, Wilson Dam, Muscle Shoals power project...

About four miles from Spring Green, Wis., the hills splay into two soft ranges to let a fast stream flow toward the Wisconsin River. Facing southwest over this valley a big, long house folds around the summit of one hill, its roof lines parallel to the line of ridges, its masonry the same red-yellow sandstone that crops out in ledges along the stream. Under snow the house melts easily into the landscape. Its name is Taliesin, a Welsh word meaning...
