There are good many salt cataracts
In existence. They may be found in
Norway, southern Chile and British Co.
lumbia, where narrow fiords, or arms
of the sea, are obstructed by barriers
of rock. The rising tide flows over and
filters through such reefs into the great
natural reservoirs beyond, but the wa
ter Is held back at the ebb until 1t
breaks over the obstruction in an ire
sistible torrent. Most curious of all is
the waterfall ut Canoe passage, where
the island Of Vancouver approaches the
British Columbia mainland. Here the
flood tide from the gulf Of Georgia, to
the southwark. is damned back at q
narrow cleft between two islands until
1t pours over in a boiling cascade eight
cen feet high, with perhaps double the
volume Of the Rhine. AT the turn Of
the tide, however, the waters from the
north rush back into the gulf, produc-
ing II cascade of equal height and vol
ume. This salt water fall actually flows
both WAYS.

of India was Akbar, born Oct. II, 1912
He began to reign when he was but
twelve years old and over three prov

Odd Marriage Ceremony.

Polynesia is probably the only place
In the world where the marriage feast
takes place without the presence Of the
bridegroom. For some unexplained
reason the young man is "sent into the
bush when negotiations are opened
with the family of his bride, and he re-
mains there during the subsequent fes-
tivities. 1t is only when the guests
have departed and the girl is left alone
with his parents that messengers are
dispatched for him.

The First Lesson OF nm Arab Roy.

Tsle very first lesson which an Arab
baby learns when he begins to talk is
to keep facts to himself 1t does not
sound very friendly put in that way,
but 1t saves deal Of trouble. Foreign
ers do not understand Arabs. They
ask them pointed questions and receive
peculiar answers. They construe the
answers to please themselves and come
away to tell the world that the Arabs
are Il nation of liars. They are not n
nation of liars. Perhaps If they should
tell the foreigners to mind their own
affairs and let them and theirs alone
the foreigners would understand them
better.-EXchange

A most curious and sluggish creature
Is the tautawa, nine inch lizard
whose home is in New Zealand. This
little imitation saurian has the reputa-
ton Of being the LATEST creature ever
created. He is usually found clinging
to rocks or logs along the shores of riv-
ers and lakes and has been known to
remain in one position perfectly mo-
tlonless for many monais. How the
creature manages to exist is mystery.
