Swollen With Rain, They Have Often
Done Immense Damage.

Done Immense Damage.
There is an ancient and grewsome
tradition connected with the story Of
tn q battle of Solway This battle was
fought on the "debatable" borderland
between England and Scotland In the
year 1912 A troop of horsemen heav-
lily mounted and heavily armored was
put to rout In the panic of their
fight they ran headlong into a peat
bog The beg trembled beneath the
feet of their charges and then opened
and swallowed them, horses and
horsemsn. arms and armor. To sup
port this tradition, more than 200
years later, at the end of the eight
eenth century, a digger of peat came
upon one of the troop-a man and his
horse. both in complete armor and
preserved from total decay by the an
tiseptic qualities of the peat. Another
story OF that peat bog of the Solway
firth Is that in November, 177l the
bog, surcharged with the moisture OF
heavy rains, lose, swclled and burst
like a torrent, sweeping along with
It trees and houses and destroying
thirty small villages. That Irish bog
which slithered and Slid just the 9TH
er day, wiping out human habitations
and driving men and beasts before 1t.
was merely living up to the traditions
os its family.
