RIVER or SALT WATER
Flows Inland In a Greek Island and Then
Disappears.

One OF h most curious phenome na OF
geography is found on the southern coast
Of the island Of Cephalonia. in Greece. 1T
il a stream of salt water which for an I'M
known period has left the almost tideless
sea and flowed inland with a volume sufh-
oient to furnish water power to two mills.
For some generations the mills were oper-
ated by undershot wheels which took their
power from this little river Of ocean water.
They supplied hour TO the people OF the
island until recently, but now they ave
been dismantled owing to the competition
OF larger and better equipped mills.
The sea enters the land at four points
where the coast is practically on a level
with the salt water surface. The four
initial streams unite TO form the little river
that flows inland in a broken rocky channel
until 1t finally disappears In the limestone
rock and sinks into the earth.
This inland How has continued almost
certainly for several centuries. 1t 10 far
too great for removal by evaporation, chem
ical combination. or even physical absorp-
ton by pores or caverns in the rocks. What
becomes of the water hat Is constantly
flowing inland and disappears finally In the
assures that have opened in the limestone?
The question has been the subject OF much
study, but no conclusive answ or has been
given. IL is probable that there is an I'M
d~erground channel which carries the water
the surface. The constant influx OF salt
water at ~Cephalonia is duplicated. as far
a. 10 known. at no other point Of the world.

The following spring, when the shed was
left open to dry, six out OF those seven cow

They didn't come together, but during
April and May they all sauntered IN. They
had found their way back. one thirty miles.

doubtless she'd a turned up too.
PECULIAR. Well, the peculiarest thing
about the whole business to me was that
each COW returned TO the exact corner
or stall where she had been the year before.
The six cows kept that caper up as long as I
kept them. five years OF so.
But about the most interesting exhibit
uon OF instinct or memory or association
OF ideas, or whatever you would call IL,
that l ever saw was in a couple OF COW
ponies and an old mule that used to be
drifting o on the range north Of the
Yellowstone a few years ago.
You sometimes read in the papers Of
wornout old fire department horses who
when an alarm rings forget the pedler
wagons OF dump carts they are pulling
and dash on for the fire. all their dormant
selves awaking again at the dear old
familiar olang. Well, that's the sort of
thing that happened TO Button and Sunday.
the old x L COW ponies.
Year after year they had worked on
the roundup till their joints got stiff.
Every May they would start out with
the outfit. following down one creek and
rounding. up uncomfortable. Then they'd
be turned out on the range for the winter
till The next May would begin the old
roundup life all over again.
Roundup work is devilish hard on

couldn't have been more than z or 8 when
the x l T men, deciding they were worn
out. put a couple of fresh ponies in their
place. and started of without them.

lost her own colt. She will hang around a colt
trying to enlist its affections, with a view to
coaxing it away from its mother, and some
fine day she will sneak away with IL.
-Of course the true mother is frantic
at the loss Of her kid and I have to drop
everything and restore the lost child to its
rightful parent. Sometimes the colt pre-
fers to stay with the wicked, designing
mare. Sometimes it runs back to its
mother with every show Of joy. Either way,
it's a clear case Of kidnapping.
These Western range animals have lots
OF the old Adam In them, meaning what
was good in Adam as well as what was
bad. Take the friendships Of horses for
one another, for instance. There's some
thing very pretty in that.
Horses run together in punches or
groups. These punches are like big families
or clans or fraternities. The horses OF
a bunch get 30 attached to one another
that It Is impossible to separate them on
the range.
Say you want a couple Of mares out OF
a bunch. DO you think you can just ride
out and bring them inf No, sir. You'll
take every horse In the bunch or none at
all. They stick close together. herding
one another. watching out that the weak
old ones and the little young ones don't
get cornered out or left behind, and the
leader-every bunch has it's leader-will
see to it hat you take 'em all or leave 'em
all. II ! want TO brand one oolt I nave to

stepped plumb into a tent that happened TO
be in his way.
James stayed with him till he had sue
ceeded in getting a hackamore on his head.
By that time the tent looked as if a Kansas
cyclone had struck IL. The pegs had been
pulled out, the sides gashed. the guy ropes
snapped and the whole top had collapsed.

Talking Of the friendships Of range
horses for one another reminds me that
range COWS show a curious affection for the
spot where they have their first calf. For
years afterward, II il lisa possible thing, they
will return n have their calves in the same
old place.
"A few years ago I b bought a bunch of COWS

Kentucky horses are that SELFISH
I'VE Montana fellows had an illustration
OF this difference at the beginning Of the

Kentucky horses for mounts.
The fret night after we had reported

The bath gown is a nuisance to the man
who does not want TO carry much luggage
for even the linen bath gowns made up
for travel take a considerable part of a
bag. In some houses there prevails the
amiable habit Of sending bath gowns to the

II is entirely excusable TO sponge on
the host for a bathing suit, and persons
who live near the water usually take the
~preoaution to supply themselves with a
sufficient number for their guests. Men
