The Worlds Big Rivers.

Geographers claim that there are twenty
five rivers on the globe which have a total
length of over 1000 miles, says the st.
Louis Republic. OF these, two-the Mis-
sissippi, from the source of the Missouri in
the Rocky mountains to the Eads jetties,
and the Amazon, from the source of the
Benz to the isle of Marajo-are over 1000
miles in length; to be exact, the former is
300 and the latter 1929 from the source
to the places where their waters are min
gled with those of the ocean. Four claim
total length of over 5000 and under
1000. They are the Yenesei in Asia,
length, $3.50 miles; the Kiang, also in
Asia, 5000 miles; the Nile, Africa, 3,240;
and the Hoang- Ho, the third monster Asian
stream, which is 3,040 miles from source
to mouth Seven streams on the globe are
under 5000 and over = 900 miles in length
the Volga, in Russia, and the Amor,
in Asia, each being $500 miles in length;
two are $500 miles long, viz: the Macken-
zie, in British America, and the Platte, in
South America. The Rio Bravo, in North
America; the Rio Madeira, in South Amer
lea, and the Niger, in Africa, are each 1890
miles from end to end. The Arkansas
river just comes inside of this 2,000-mile
limit, with a length of $3.50 miles. Ten
of the great rivers of the world are over
900 and under 1000 miles in length.
Three of these are in North America, viz:
the Red river, 1920; the Ohio, l ,4S0,
and the ST. Lawrence, $50. South
America has also three in this list-the
Rio Negro, $50, the 0rinoco, 500, and
the Uruguay, LOO miles long. Asia has
three in the same list-the Euphrates,
900 miles in length, and the Tigris and
the Ganges, each of which is about ], 300
miles in length. In the group of great
rivers the st. Lawrence is the most remark
able. 1t constitutes by far the Largest
body of fresh water in the world. 1nclud-
ing lakes and streams, the st. Lawrence
covers about $1,000 square miles; the assre-
gate, it is estimated, represents not less
than 5000 solid miles of water. The I'M
thinkable size of this mass may be better
comprehended, if not fully realized, when
we consider the figures of Prof Cyrus c.
Dnwiddie, who says that it would take
over forty years for the aggregate of this
entire mass to pour over Niagara at the
computed rate of 100000 cubic feet per
second.

Commissioner Roosevelt observed the
conduct of Republican primary in Balti-
more last year, made report thereon and
recommended some removals of Federal
employees for violations of the civil service
law. On Tuesday the House of Represen-
tives by resolution directed the Select Com
mittee on Reform in the Civil Service to
investigate and report whether all or any OF
the officials found by the investigation and
report of the civil service commission to
have violated the law are still in Office, and
whether any of such officials have been
indicted or proceeded against in the courts
on account of such alleged violation of the
law.

THRILLING SIGHTS AP SEA.
A Procession of Huge Wa1erspOufs Roar,
fDg like Niagara.

PHIIAnEI.PH4 April l8.-Capt. Newton.
of the steamship W. C. Mitchell, reports that
on Friday he experienced a very heavy south
egly gale, but on Saturday it moderated, and
the sea became calm. At nine o'clock in
the morning there appeared on the horizon
objects which occasioned great curiosity.
Some on board took 1T to be phantom
ship, while others believed it to be merely a
cloud formation. The ship was then about
200 miles southeast of the Delaware capes.
and the objects on the horizon drew nearer
and nearer the ship, when it was discovered
that they were a number of waterspouts fol-
sowiGg closely in each others wake.
The noise created by the phenomenon was
deafening, and the rush of water was greater
by far than that of Niagara Falls. Quickly
seizing his glass, Captain Newton discovered
the direction in which the waterspouts were
fHoving. and realizing the danger if struck by
them, altered his course to avoid being struck
Captain Newton says he never saw such
large watersponts before, and says the sight
they presented az they passed the vessel was
thrilling. Huge bodies of water were being
carried in every direction for miles around.
Captain Rasmussen, Of the steamship Nab,
reports that on April IL, in latitude 1896
longitude 1928, he sighted eleven icebergs of
various shapes and sizes. One was fully
LOO feet long and seventy-ive feet high.
Seven attempts were made to burn Louis
vile, Kentucky on Wednesday night. In

rapidly did they fellow that engines and
trucks Eve miles distant we're called out.
Saturday night there were Ave ineendiary
fires in the same radius, and Edward Kel-
Ter was arrested for the crime. The larry
est losses were on tobacco factory and an
excelsior factory. William King was ar
rested at midnight and charged With arson.
Several cotton balls, saturated with oil,
were found in his pockets.
