The search for convenient ways Of
transportation by which the products Of
the Sudan may reach the outer world
has called attentlaon to remarkable
phenomenon of vegetable life on some
Of the head waters and tributaries Of
the Nile. This consists of enormous
growths OF papyrus and other plants,
completely covering the streams and
forming carpets Of vegetation two or
three feet thick, beneath which flows
the water. Navigation by small boats
Is, Of course, entirely interrupted by
this obstruction, which is in places sup
plemented by vines and cllnglng plants
which arch the streams from bank to
bank. Heavy floods occasionally sweep
away the accumulations of plants, but
they are quickly reformed.
Several years ago, members Of the
Geological Survey suggested that in for

Of Joining the Ohio, as at present, flow
ed into the Gulf Of Mexico through the
channels of the Coosa and Alabama
Rivers. This conclusion has recently
been corrOborated In a singular manner
by Charles T. Simpson, of the Smith
sonian Institution. The original sug-
gestion was based on the appearances
of the land, but Mr. Simpsons confr-
nation depends upon the distribution
Of a particular form Of fresh-water
mussel which, although 1t is peculiar to
the Tennessee River, is also found in
the Coosa and the Alabama. AS these
creatures cannot traverse the land, the
inference Is that formerly the waters of
the Tennessee flowed southwark into
the streams above named.
