the assures In the limestone
formation draw of the waters Of the
Danube underground phenomenon
observed as long ago as 1719 by f. w.
Breuinger. This writer suggested that
the water thus drawn of reappeared in
the springs Of AaclI, little town near
Lake Constance and his by
pothesis was verified by Knop in 1877
by the use Of fiourescein."
Still more recently, the writer tells
us, other instances OF subterranean
capture" have been noted by which
part Of the waters of one river are d.
verted into the drainage basin of an
other. Now it is remarked by Profess
sor Penck that unless this loss Of Dan
ube water is stopped in some way it
will go on increasing gradually until it
will take the whole of the rivers sup
ply, leaving the lower river bed quite
dry, as it is left occasionally now, ae-
cording TO Quenstedt, in years of
drouth. Then the gradual deepening of
the Danube valley viii end at the point
of absorption. Below Monringen will
extend dry valley while above
blind valley" viii be drained by a sub
terranean river. This is not a flight Of
the Imagination, for the same thing has
happened to the river Foiba IN Istria
and the Recca, near Trieste. The au-
thor adds that these and other cases,
notably in Dalmatia, show what threat
ems the Danube valley unless man in
tervenes. The length Of time that
elapses before the temperance of the
water at Aach (sixty hours shows that
it must make a long circuit. or that it
encounters great obstacles under

firm a theory advanced by himself that

gradually taking the place Of surface

THEFT OF A GREAT River.

How the Danube Is Robbed Through
the 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 tribu :
taries 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 authority. is suffering from a
more insldious form of robbery, by
which the Rhine profits, part Of the
Danube's water being drawn Off under
ground into the Rhine valley. And this
may be of great Importance to future
jewellers of the Danube. for II 1t is not
stopped it may end by causing the river
below the point Of absorption to be
come permanently dry. Says NJ. E. A.
Martel, writing on this subject in La
Geographic tParisl:

himself happy or miserable; but in the

All men of Imagination are capable of
fear. The most dangerous fear is
panic The soldier who is caught off his
guard may be in a state of panic for
minutes or hours, but when recovered
is as brave as a lion.
l witnessed a strange scene on the
Manhattan Beach Railroad several
years ago. Trains loaded to the guards
were run in sections from Sheepshead
Bay to Bay Ridge. Darkness had set
in. The first section stopped without
warning near Parkville, and passengers
in the rear car thought the engine fol-
lowing was about to crash into them.
The panic lasted several seconds. 1t
was all pervading. 1t seemed as if
there were strange beings in the air
spreading an uncomfortable fear among
men and women. There was one stimuli
taneous movement, as If the electric
force in nature had shocked the entire
crowd into mechanical action, this ac-
ton leading to a headlong rush forward
over the backs Of chairs and vain efforts
to leap through open windows.
A man who had faced death a hun
dred times, who had lived with the riff
raff of humanity without once losing
his nerve in the slightest degree, who
had just returned from three years
wandering in the widest regions of
Canada, sat near the front Of the car.
| The panic struck him. He leaped to his
feet and gasped with a palsy of fright.
His companion, who had escaped the
contagion, said: "Why, George" II
brought him to his senses. and in an
other moment he was quieting the
crowd by telling it that the engine was
standing still. AS he resumed his seat
he remarked: Il didn't know could
be scared; l feel like a contemplate
coward. New York Press.

The managers of the fair invited
Harry to bring his trained calves to

the ring, and gave him premium for
doing so. That was why he was feel
ing so gay and proud coming home
that evening from the county fair.
His little yoke of steers, one year
old, had won a prize all through his
own efforts.
One day Harry's father wanted
some bran from the feed store, two
miles away, and Harry said he could
go after it with his wagon and calves.
There was a big hill to come up on
the road home, and Harry's father
thought that they could not haul

to attack from above and from be-
meath by enemies which it cannot
reach.
He draws, therefore, an interesting
and thrilling picture of a naval bat
tie of the future, which includes
fight between a flying machine and
a submarine boat. This, he says, is
not so improbable as it seems.
The flying machine can, he says,
see the submarine beneath the sur
face when it would be invisible to
men on a vessel, just as the fish
hawk can locate its submerged VIC
tim. As the aeroplane can move
with celerity, it can hover over the
submarine until the latter is COM
PEELED to come to the surface for air
or rises for attack. Then it can drop
dynamite bombs upon the submarine
and train rapid-fres upon its thin
shell.
The submarine, however, will not
be quite helpless. A well-aimed shot
from its bow rapid-fires (Which can
be uncovered the moment the nose of
the boat rises above the surface)
would instantly put the flying ma
chine out of business, thus clearing
the way for other submarines to
rise to the surface or for bevy of
friendly flying machines to come up.
Meanwhile, there would be no vessels
in sight.
The critic does not, however, utter
ly eXtinguish ships. They can, he
says, act in a subordinate capacity,
dependent upon the preliminary fight
ing which must be done between fly
ing machines and submarines to clear
the mouths of harbors and make
navigation safe. 1t is admitted that
big dynamite or guncottOn bomb
dropped from the air upon the deck
of the strongest warship afloat might
be likely to destroy it. Moreover, a
submarine getting home a single tor
pedo upon the bottom of such ship
would sink it.
But naval officers (ever conserva'
tive and properly waiting for DEM
onstrated superiority before accept
ing so-called improvements comfort
themselves with the reflection that
command of the air and of the sub
marine world is far from being ac-
tually achieved, and that so far as
anybody can see navies will remain
in existence for a few years yet.
