F. R. Spearman writes of Queer
American Rivers" in st. Nicholas.
Speaking of the rivers of the western
plains Mr.. Spearman says: The irriga-
ton engineers have lately discovered
something wonderful about even these
despised rivers. During the very drlest
seasons, when the stream is apparent
ly quite dry, there is still great BODY
of water running in the sand. Like a
vast sponge, the sand holds the water
vet it flows continually, just as il 1t
we're 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 brough
to the surface for irrigation.
