THEFT OF A GREAT RIVER.
The Danube Robbed by the Diver
sion of Tributaries.
(From the Literary Digest.)

(From the Literary Digest.)
Biologists have long known that one
stream may appropriate the waters of
another by gradually encroaching upon
its watershed and dtverting its tributaries
one by ono. This kind of theft is at least
frank and open. 1t takes place on the
surface and everyone-at least every
geologist-can see what is going On. The
River Danube. according tn expert author

drawn off underground into the Rhins VAL

to future dTellers of the Danube, for II 1t
is not stopped II may end by causing the
river below the point of absorption to be-
come permanently dry. Says N. q. A.
Martel. writing on this subject in La
Geographic" (Paris):
In recent geological worR . Prof.
Albrecht Penck has called attention to the
subterranean drainage of part of the
waters Of the Danube by which, curiously
enough, the Rhine basin profits. Between
Donauschingen Baden and TuttIinger
(Wurtemburg) the ffssures in the
limestone formation draw off the waters

observed as long ago as 1719 by F. W.
Brouinger. This writer suggested that the

Still more recently the writer tells us.
other instances OF subterranean capture"
have been noted by which part OF the wat
ers of one river are diverted into the
drainage basin OF another. Now it Is re-
marked by Prof. Penck that unless this loss

Quenstedt, iNyears of drought Then the
gradual deepening OF the Danube valley
will end at the point of absorption.

drained by subterranean river. This Is
not flight OF the imagination. for the
same thing has happened to the River
Foiba In Istria and the Recca, near
Trieste. The author adds that these and
other cases, notably in Dalmatia, show
what threatens the Danube valley unless
man intervenes. The length OF TINA that
elapses before the temperance of thu

it must make a long circuit, or that 1t en-
counters great obstacles underground
