HYENAs OF THE DANUBE.
Plundering the Many Dead Bodies That
Float Down the River.

Plundering the Many Dead Bodies That
Float Down the River.
painful sensation has been created
here, says a Vienna correspondent of
the London Teleg raph, by an article in
one of the Vienna daily papers, entitled
THE Hyenas Of the, Danube" in which
a grewsomely realistic description is
given of the annual appearance of hun
dreds of corpses floating down the river
between Vienna and Hungary, which
are regularly plundered by the people
on the banks, and then cynically
thrown back into the swift current of
the stream, never to he heard of again.
The writer considers this horrible
state of things mainly in a judicial
light, and complains of the serious
losses thus inflicted upon the living in
consequence of the absence of all clew
to the fate of their unfortunate rela-
tives. Year after year" he affirms,
hundreds of lifeless bodies-the NOR
tai remains of suicides, victims of
crime and victims of accidents to
the surface of the Danube, are swept
along with the curren4 and washed
up on the land on one bank or the 9TH
er. Here they are discovered by the
'hyenas,' who rifle the corpses, and
then, as rule. kick them back on the
waves, aft er which no human being
worries about them more. Thousands
of people vanish from the scene in this
manner, no one ever learning what
fate befell them. Blood-curdling
crimes remain undiscovered, and the
uncertainty whether a man is dead or
will return again to his family and
friends is often fraught with heavy
losses to the latter. No mound marks
the spot where these unfortunate peo-
pie rest; they are struck out of the
roll-cal1 of humanity; no trace reveals
the course of their last long journey;
they have simply vanished from the
world like the lost wanderer of the
desert who is buried beneath enormous
sand waves, or like the famished trav-
eler in the wilderness whose body be
comes the food of birds of prey. And
yet we are living in Europep'

Some Striking Examples of the workings
of the Ice Age.
An immense area of the northeastern
states, extending south to New York,
and then westward in an irregular line
TO Cincinnati and st. Louis, is almost
wholly covered with deposit of drift
material, in which rocks Of various sizes
are imbedded. while other rocks, often of
enormous size, lie upon the surface.
These blocks have been carefully studied
by the American biologists, and they
present us with some very interesting
facts. Not only are the distances from
which they have been transported very
great, but in very many cases they are
found at greater elevation than the
place from which they must have come.
Professor G.. F. Wright found an enor
nous accumulation of powders on q
sandstone plateau in Monroe county,
Pa. Many of these powders were gram
ite and must have come either from the
Adirondack mountains, 200 miles to the
north, or from the Canadian highlands,
still farther away. This accumulation
Of powders was 10 or 80 feet high, and
it extended many miles, descending into
q deep valley ], 900 feet below the plateau
in nearly continuous line, forming part
of the southern moraine of the great
American ice sheet.
On the Kentucky hills, about 10 miles
south of Cincinnati, conglomerats bowl
ders containing pebbles of red jasper can
be traced to- limited outcrop of the same
rock in Canada, to the north of Lake
Huron, more than 900 miles distant, and
similar powders have been found at
intervals over the whole intervening
country. In both these cases the blocks
must have passed over intervening val
leys and hills, the latter as high or near
ly as high as the source whence the rocks
were derived.
Even more remarkable are numerous
powders of Heidelberg limestone on the
summit Of the Blue Ridge in Pennsyl-
vania, which must have been brought
from lodges at least 500 feet lower than
the places upon which they now lie.
The Blue Ridge itself shows remark
able signs of glacial abrasion in well
defined shoulder marking the southern
limit of the ice las indicated also by
heaps of drifts and erratics). 60 that Mr..
Wright concludes that several hundred
feet of the ridge have been worn away
by the ice.
The browning example of bowlder
transportation is, however, afforded by
the blocks of light gray gneiss discover
ed by Professor Hitchcock on the sum-
NIT of Mount Washington, over 8,o00
feet above sea level, and identified with
Bethlehem gneiss, whose nearest outcrop
is in Jefferson, several miles to the north
west and 5000 or 1000 feet lower than
Mount Washington.-A. r. Wallace in
Fortnightly Review.
