mediately went to the window, whence
he saw woman clad in dark skirt
enter the escape from the window of
young Ayres' room, and after descend
Ing to the second story, disappear

scended slowly. and evidently was

RIVERS UNDER THE OCEAN.
streams Of Fresh Water Said to Course
Under the Sea.

A few months ago H. Benest, an
English geographer, published an inter-
esting study of streams of fresh water
flowing beneath the surface Of the sea.
Disasters to ocean telegraph cables
first called attention to this subject.
On several occasions. about 1885, a
new and wellmade cable between Cape
Verde and Brazil broke. Soundings
were made to discover whether these
break1ngs were due to the state of the
sea bottom, and it was found that the
place in question was near the sub
marine mouth of a subterranean river;
the alluvial material transported by
this fresh water stream encountered
the cable and finally. succeeded in
breaking it. The fact is that a river
that flows into the lagoons of Yof, on
the coast of Senegal, is finally lost in
the sand. 1t undoubtedly has taken
its invisible course to the sea, and it
is this river that has been discovered
in the deep hollow of more than 300
meters (i,210 feeD that is transverset.
by the Brazilian cable. Also while the
cable was being repaired at a point 2:
