thus describes a great natural wonder
which he observed near Demnat. In
few minutes we were on the top of the
closing barrier of rock, and then, to
my profound surprise. found that
was not only on the top OF natural
arch and bridge utilized by the inhab-
Itants, but also on an aqueduct by
which fine stream was conveyed from
one side of the glen to the other, where
1t fell in cascade. The explanation
of this probably unique phenomenon OF
river being conveyed naturally across
a gorge 140 feet deep soon became ap-
parent, and proved to be sufficiently
simple. The arch was not composed OF
the limestone rock of the hills, but OF
calcareous tufa. The stream that now
crossed the glen had primarily fallen
as a simple cascade on the eastern side.
and, being charged with lime In solu-
ton. had, throughout long centuries,
continued to deposit its calcareous bur-
den layer after layer. In process Of
time the tufa or lime thus deposited
had gradually grown out until 1t had
reached the opposite side OF the gorge
and completed the bridge aqueduct:
and now, instead of falling on the east
side. the stream falls as cascade on
the west side and there continues its
deposition of tufa. OF course. mean
while, the Wad Demnat was also at
work beneath. preventing the choking
up of its natural channel while eating
away the limestone beds beneath, thus
preventing the formation Of the mas
