Underground Flow Of Rivers.

+. II. Spearman writes of "Queer
American Rivers" in st. Nicholas.
Speaking of the rivers of the western
plains Mir. Spearrnan says: The irriga-
ton engineers have lately discovered
something wonderful about even these
despised rivers. During the very driest
seasons, when the stream is apparent
ly quite dry, there is still great body
of water running in the sand. Like 4
vast sponge, the sand holds the water,
yet it flows continually, just as if it
were in plain sight, but more slowly,
of course. The volume may be estimat-
ed by the depth and breadth of the
sand. One pint of it will hold three
quarters of pint of water. This is
called the underground flow, and is pc
culiar to this class of rivers. BY means
of bitches this water may be brought
to the surface for irrigation.

when suddenly alarmed is to throw off

large as the old ones. For several
weeks, however. the patient who is

Sunday, when it became known that
the Spanish government had formally
requested the recall of Consul General
Lee at his post at Havana, to which re-

the Spanish government has suggested
the improperly of sending relief sup
plies to the Cuban reconcentradoes on
the cruiser Montgomery and gunboat
Nashville, to which suggestion the
United States had given a like answer in
the negative.
The first intimation of these steps
came in brief and explicit cable dis
patch. from Madrid.. Prior to it's re-
ceipt, however, the authorities:here had
been fully conversant with the facts,
although no intimation had been al
lowed to get to the public on either
