REMARKABLE RIVERS

In Colombia is the Rio de VinagreI
which Is so sour from the mixture of sui.
phurio acid that it is most appropriated
" called the Vinegar river. j
In Algeria exists q small river which
has been turned by the chemistry Of ma
ture into ink It Is formed by the union
Of two rivulets, one of which is strong
iy impregnated with iron. while the
other flows through peat marshes and i'm

full inky compound formed by the union
of gallo acid and iron.
One Of the most curious streams that
have ever come to the knowledge of men
IS the Webbe Shebeyli of eastern Africa,
a deep and rapid stream Astounding in
strange fish and immense crocodiles.
Although 1t flows for hundreds of miles
through fertile lands It never reaches
the sea. A short distance north Of the
equator the river Is lost in a desert res
gion a short way from the Indian ocean.
In South Africa the Orange river
rises in the mountains which separate
Natal from the Orange Free State. It
Is 300 miles long and it's banks abound
In rich, valuable woods, while around
1t are copper ores. In It's waters are
many varieties of fish, which are found
until the river reaches q point where
copper Is prevalent and the water below
there Is poisonous, almost instantly
fatal to any kind of fish.
Some Of the recent explorers of Alask-
ka say the Mississippi can no longer be
regarded as the largest river on this
continent as they claim this distino-
ton for the Yukon river. According to
a man who spent two years in Alaska
preparing facts for the last census the
Yukon empties more water than the
Mississippi pours into the Gulf Of Mex
leo. Its basin comprises the northern
half of Alaska and 600 miles from its
mouth the river is mile wide. Many
centuries before It was discovered by
white men 1t doubtless served as high
way into the interior for the tribes
which we believe crossed over from
Asia. The Yukon Is over 1000 miles
long.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by LEGAL applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an in1amed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
