Queer Hole in the Ground.

On the coast of the Greek island Of
Cephalonia, near the town Of Argostoll,
there are two large fumes or canals,
leading inland from the sea, conveying
their contents into rudely excavated
pits, through whose badly assured, rocky
bottoms the water Immediately loses It.
self, says Cassler's Magazine. At least
as long ago as 1885 mill was run by
power from one Of these fumes; and
second mill was built beside and oper-
ated by the other little while after
ward The mills themselves are now in
ruins, but the flow continues. This re-
markable state Of things has existed
over sixty years, and very likely for
century.
One cannot help asking in amazement
where all the water goes to- Messrs.
Crosby estimate that the flow in each
channel amounts to 1000 cubic feet per
minute, or 1900, 900 cubic feet per day in
both. Two small passages of similar
character have been observed in the
same neighbOrhOod; and 1t is added that
along the shore, "at all points between
the two mills, and for an unknown dis
tance beyond each, the water is every
where percOlating through cracks and
assures Of the limestone and sinking
into the earth. The openings on the sea
bottom are, no doubt, mainly closed by
weeds and gravel; yet no inconsiderable
amount Of water must find its way to

these mysterious depths through such
an extent OF beach, lying on a rock that
Is practically as porous as a sieve.
1t is difficult TO decide which Is the
greater marvel, the sea mills themselves
or the fact that they have remained prac-
tically unknown to the scientific world
up to the present day, although de-
scribed by several authors, mentioned in
the guide books, and visited by "ad-
mirals, generals, bishops and distin-
guished civilians"
Almost the only explanation hitherto
offered assumes that evaporation goes
on rapidly in some subterranean cavern,
and thus disposes OF the water. But as
1t Is admitted that the remaining salt
from the two mill streams alone would
amount to $4,000 cubic feet year, 1t Is
hard to understand why the subterra-
mean cavern Qf there be One) does not
fill up, Messrs. Crosby offer different
hypothesis. They ask the reader to
imagine two great assures descending
into the earth and meeting below, like
the sides Of the letter V or u Then they
suggest that perhaps one arm Is shorter
than the other, and that there is long,
very gently rising passage leading from
the bottom Of one to the bottom Of the
other, so that the subterranean heat can
get a good chance to act on any stream
passing through it. 1t then becomes easy
to suppose that a cold current of sea
water comes down through one branch
Of the system and is forced upward
through the other by thermal influences.
The rock island of Cephalonia, like
some Of It's neighbOrs, betrays the effects
of earthquakes innumerable in times
past, aboundlng in fractures and faults,
caverns and subterranean rivers None
Of the springs on Cephalonia contains
any large quantity Of salt, however, and
1t is difficult to regard any Of them as
the outflow of the food which disap-
pears at ArgostOli. But 1t is possible
that, as Alpheus is said to have done,
it takes dive beneath the sea and comes
up in some far-off island.

The Fading Declaration,

The Declaration Of independence is
kept between two great plates of glass,
the edges of which are hermetically
sealed. At intervals and as a special
favor the custodian pulls out drawer
in a huge steel box and shows the treas
ure But most Of the time the two
plates, with their sheet of parchment
between, rest where burglars cannot
break through, where fire cannot reach,
and where daylight cannot complete the
ravages already wrought by exposure.
Visitors to the State Department who
want to see the Declaration are shown
perfect fac-simile which hangs in a
handsome frame and looks old enough
to be the original. They go away none
the wiser for the substitution. The
truth Is that the Declaration was fast
becoming a tradition when the eXtraOr-
binary steps for its preservation were
taken about three years ago.
In the administration of John Quincy
Adams a copper plate Of the original
was made. To get the copy for the en-
graver the surface Of the parchment
was mOistened with wet cloth. A

the original was exhibited under glass
at the patent Office. 1t hung where the
sun reached short time each day, until
the discovery was made that the script
was fading. Better care was taken when
the Declaration was hung in the library
Of the new State Department building.
But for some reason never satisfactorily
explained the signatures suddenly
seemed to be fading John HancOck's
name, one of the boldest on the sheet,

officials having charge saw that IL left

generations entirely disappear. The

AERIAL AUXILTARIES,

On the rOundtOpped hill at the north
end Of Mare Island, the great naval sta
tiOn Of this coast, stands gayly-painted
little cottage, which can be seen from
any point in the great bay Of San Pablo.
InQulring strangers are surprised when
they learn that this little house is the
home of over 100 fnely-bred carrier
pigeons belonging to Uncle Sans navy,
and that the red and white stripes which
decorate the sides are for the purpose
of enabling the little messengers to
quickly distinguish their home station
from distance.
But why should the navy spend hun
dreds of dollars each year to support
fancy breed Of pigeons, the stranger
asks?
In spite Of the dire prophecies of few
malcontents it is not probable that our
fair country will see another great civil
. war, but it is from beyond our shores
that the enemy will come, if war should
break out. In this event it will be the
duty of our navy to patrol the coast
lines of the Atlantic and Pacific, and as
the outer line of defense ward off the
invaders fleets. IT, while steaming up
and down the coast one or two hundred
miles off shore, our guardian fleet should
sight the enemy, it would be of the ut
most Importance to communicate at once
with the authorities on shore. Various
inventors have claimed the discovery Of
a wireless telegraph through the water,
but none has yet succeeded; to send in
a vessel with the news would weaken

fleet carries a few hOming pigeons accu-
rate messages may be sent in from the
ships to the pigeon loft, where telegraph
and telephone connections with the cities
adjacent and with headquarters at
Washington are available. Thus, the
important part that the hOming pigeon
may play in the next war may be seen
at glance.
This use Of pigeons as messengers
from ships to shore is not new, for we
have records which show that it was
practiced by the ancient Egyptians and
by the Venetians in the middle ages,
but their modern use dates from the
siege Of Paris in 1871, when the Pari-
SLAMS, hemmed in on every side, used the
birds to communicate with the outer
WOEIu ALL6E Lu6 ClOSS VI LudL wal
French military authorities used the
pigeons to communicate with the Island
of Corsica, and from this it was only
step to sending them out on ships to
carry messages to the shore. The French
have extended this service until they
now have 1000 birds trained for war
service in all directions.
But our own navy is always cOnserva-
tive, and it was not until 1898 that ex-
periments began on American ships. A
few officers at the Naval Academy at
Annapolis, under the lead Of Prof Henri
Marion, who had seen the value of the
pigeon service in France, established
loft at that place at their own expense,
and the birds were sent out on the train
ing ships and sent in from points a sea
over distances of from 100 25O miles.
