There are sewers Of all shapes and
sizes. Some are 50 large that you could
ride down them on horseback. others so
small that you have to stoop to go through
them. Some are egg shaped. some barrel
shaped, others almost square. There are
special varieties also. There are blood
sewers and boiling sewers and others I'M
der the special patronage Of manufactur-
ing chemists, candle makers and soap boil
ers. The blood sewers Of the meat mar
kets are the special habitat Of the sewer
rat, not often met with elsewhere under
ground. The reputed size and ferocity Of
these creatures must be literally dis
counted. In the course Of several tours
underground the writer saw only one. and
1t scuttled away as fast as its legs could
carry it. Finally. there are disused sew

THEFT OF A GREAT RIVER.
How the Danube Ii Robbed Through
Diversion of Its Tributaries,

Biologists have long known that one
stream may appropriate the waters Of
another by gradually encroaching upon
Its watershed and diverting its tributaries
one BY one. This kind Of theft is at least
frank and open. 1t takes place on the
surface, and every one, at least every
geologist, can see what is going on. The
river Danube, according to expert author
ity, is suffering from d more insidious
form of robbery, by which the Rhine
profits, part Of the Danube's water being
drawn off underground into the Rhine
valley. And this may be of great impor-
lance to future jewellers Of the Danube.
for if it is not stopped it may end by
causing the river below the point of alb
sorption to become permanently dry.
Says n. E. A. Martel, writing on this
subject in La Geographic PARIS:
I'm a recent geological work =
Professor Albrecht Penck has called at
tention to the subterranean drainage of
a part of the waters Of the Danube by
which, curiously enough, the Rhine basin
profits. Between Donauschingen Baden)
and Tuttlinger CWurttemberg)
the assures in the limestone formation
draw off the waters Of the Danube under
ground-a phenomenon observed as long
ago as 1919 by F. w. Breuinger. This
writer suggested that the water thus
drawn off reappeared in the springs Of
Aach, little town near lake Constance
and his hypothesis was verified
by Knop in 1877 by the use of fluoce-
rine."
Still more recently, the writer tells us,
other instances Of subterranean "cap-
ture" have been noted by which part Of
the waters Of one river are diverted into
the drainage basin Of another. Now it is
remarked by Professor Penck that unless
this loss of Danube water is stopped in
some way it will go on increasing gradu-
ally until it will take the whole of the
rivers supply. leaving the lower river
bed quite dry, as it is left occasionally
now, according to Quenstedt, in years of
drought. Then the gradual deepening of
the Danube valley will end at the point
Of absorption. Below Monringen will ex-
tend dry valley, while above "blind
valley" will be drained by a subterranean
river. This is not fight of the magma
ton, for the same thing has happened to
the river Foiba in Istria and the Recca
near Triest. The author adds that these
and other cases, notably in Dalmatia,
show what threatens the Danube valley
unless man intervenes. The length Of time
that elapses before the temperance of
the water at Aach go hours shows that
1t must make a long circuit or that it en-
counters great obstacles underground. 1t
Is noted by NJ. Martel that Professor
Psnck's book goes far to confirm theory
advanced by himself that subterranean
circulation Of water is gradually taking
the place Of surface drainage in lime
stone regions.-Literary Digest.

SKIN DISEASES
Simple Precautions by Which They
May BE Prevented.

Among the most common diseases of
the skin are acne and eczema, one of
which is known to be and the other
probably is the result Of the presence
OF microbr on or in the skin. This
microbe is a vegetable growth, although
a very minute one. and, like other nox.
ieus weeds. when once it has been plant
ed and has begun to grow it is often ex-
tiemely difficult to dislodge it.
Every farmer knows that it is easier
to keep field clean by constant care
than to clear it after it has once been
oyergrown with weeds. 1t is the same
with the skin. 1t is easier to keep the
skin i'll health and to arrest commenc-
ing disease than to cure q disease once
it has become firmly established.
Ii it were generally understood that
the presence OF few pimples constitutes
true skin disease, which, il neglected,
will probably grow worse, fewer persons
would suffer from the Disagreement Of
acne.
The skin is much like the system in
general. Ii it is iii good condition, it
will repel the assaults of disease, but
II neglected it becomes less resistant
and soon offers a favorable soil for the
growth of noxious germs.
The skin is one of the 80 called ex-
cretory organs. and if the other organs
of similar function-the kidneys and the
bowels-do not perform their work prop
erly an undue proportion Of the waste
products Of the body must be got rid Of
through the pores Of the skin. This
throws work upon the integument which
1t is not accustomed to perform, and il
soon becomes diseased in consequence.
The first thing necessary to keep the
skin we'll is to maintain the health OF
the body by exercise, cleanliness, fresh
air day and night. good food properly
cooked, sufficient amount Of sleep and
suitable clothing. In addition to these
general measures the skin itself should
receive special attention in the way of q
daily bath, followed by vigorous rubbing
with q coarse towel or flesh brush
Some persons have naturally clear
skins. while others appear to have
special predisposition to black heads aud
pimples. The fortunate ones must see to
it that they do not mar what nature has
given them by IN unhygienic mode Of
life, but the others need not despair. for
their tendency to eruptions may often
be overcome by scrupulous care both OF
the body and OF the skin itself. after
the manner above indicated and in such
other ways as the physician may direct

Shooting a Ny stery,

Altoona, Pa, March 22-Much mys-
terry surrounds the probable murder
or suicide of William West, a former
Altoona man, who was found lying
along the river shore near ConnellSv-
ilea, in dying condition, with one side
of his face shot away, last evening.
William West, his father, received Il
message from Connellsvillc to he
at the depot about midnight, and
signed d. Maxwell. He went to the
station and met Maxwell with two
companions. Maxwell told him that
his son William had shot him and
then killed himself near Connells-
vile.
Maxwell was taken to the hospital,
where a bullet was extracted from his
right arm below the shoulder. Be-
coming suspicious, West had Max
well placed under arrest pending in
veStigation. The two men who came
with Maxwell have also been locked
up,
MaXwclls tale is that West and he
met by chance at ConnellSville yester-
day, and while celebrating the reun-
ion by drinking came in contact with
George Williams, of Philadelphia, and
James Wilson, of Springfield, Mass,
the other two persons held under ar
rest. During a quarrel Maxwell
claims to have been hot in the arm
by West when his back was turned.
Maxwell further says: "While the
other two men were tying up my
wound he shot himself through the
head, ] guess to show me that he
was mt a coward"
