Some Facts About Rivers

Great rivers which flow from north to
south. like the Mississippi or from south
to north, in the southern hemisphere, may
empty into seas the surface of which il
much farther from the center of the earth
than the points at which the rivers rise.
In that sense the Mississippi flows uphill
and the elevation which its waters climb
Is measured in miles, not in feet. The ex-
PLANTATION is, of course that the whirling
of the earth on its axis makes its motion
much greater at the equator than nearer
the poles, and the waters OF the oceans
are piled up toward the equator, just as
water on grindstone tends to fly of the
rim when 1t revolves rapidly.
There are rivers which are deeper than
the rivers into which they flow. The
Saguenay is one of them. Where
the St. Lawrence receives the Saguena
the former is vast river wide as
rather large lake. deep and majestic but
the saguenay is deeper. where It breaks
through the Laurentian mountains, than
any of the great lakes. Its bottom is
about a quarter of mile below the bed
of the st. Lawrence.
Since the earth is much farther from the
sun when 1t is summer in the northern
hemisphere and winter In the southern
than when the seasons are reversed, 1t
might be supposed that the climate would
be more extreme in the southern half OF
the earth than II Is in the northern. The
actual difference is made slight by the fact
that the proportion of land to water is
much greater in the northern hemisphere
There are no real tidal waves on the
great lakes. Occasionally waves of aston
ishing height roll in upon the shore, where
there is no storm, but such phenomena are
not in any sense tides. They are the result
of great atmospheric pressure far from
the places where they are observed or Of
distant tenpests.
OF all the states which border on the
great lakes Michigan is the only one which
is drained or chiefly drained into these in
land seas. AS a rule, the drainage basin
of the lakes is bounded by SUBMITS, com
monty low and often difficult to locate pre-
cisely, which are surprisingly near their
shores.
1t would take at least eight or ten rivers
like the Mississippi to contain as much
water as Lake Erie. and Erie is the least
of the five great lakes In that respect.
Ontario covers a smaller area, but more
than makes up for 1t by greater depth.
1t is a strange month now when the ton
mage built on the lakes does not far ex-
coed the total for all the salt water coasts
OF the United States, with the interior
rivers thrown into the scale.

Haunt II in HIS face. But for her father-in-
law she would have done It, tool The
marquis told her not to be a little idiot.
Tor though Rene might forgive he would
never forget her admission. She would but
undermine all her future happiness even
II she did not break Rene's heart. Her
philosophlc father-in-law advised her to
take a leaf out Of his book and draw close
the curtains Of the hirtatious chambers Of
her life.
Though Rene had not noticed Jeanne's
filtration with Pierre, Hortense had. and
woman like, she told him. Acting on her
advice he went to his wife and accused
her. One cannot live with a historian bent
on seeking and telling the truth without
getting into the habit OF doing likewise
Jeanne, therefore, was on the point of ad-
hitting everything when the marquis
quietly put his hand on her shoulder. She
remembered In time his advice and strenu-
ously denied the soft impeachment. Feel
ing that bis suspicious were unfounded and
unjust Rene took his wife in his arms, and,
kissing her in a perfect ecstasy Of delight,
assured her that he adored her more than
ever before. He really did not care, he
said, one iota for Hortense. who had sought
to undermine his happiness by making him
Jealous.
As the marquis watched the restoration
Of the happy relations between his son and
daughter-in-law he was more confirmed
than ever IN the value Of his philosophy,
and, as a prescription for preserving hap
piness ever after declared that there Is
nothing in the world to compare with the
maxim kiss and never tell"
