affected even by the radiant heat OF

to convection currents set up inside ihf

is covered. While the glass is not

the minute differences o. temperature

a queer freak of nature In the rear

has been discovered TO a subterranean
river of unknown depth. The under
ground stream is forty-fye feet below
the surface. and flows with great ra-

but the herceness Of the waters nearly
dragged the sounding lines from his
