RIVER OF SALT WATER.
Slows Inland In Greek Island and
Then Disappears.

one ~ the most curiou9 phenomena
of geography is found on the southern
coust Of the island " Cephalonia. near
Greece. IL is u stream of salt water
which for an unknown period has left
the almost tldeless sea and flowed In
land with considerable volume.
The sea enters the land at four
points where the coast is practically on
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 II finally
disappears In the limestone rock and
sinks into the earth.
Tt,a inland flow has continued nl-
most certainly for several centuries.
II Is FAR too great for removal by evnp-
grafton. chemical combination or even
physical INSCRIPTION by pores or cav
erns In the rocks. what becomes OF
the water that ls constantly flowing
inland and disappears fnnlly In the
assures that have opened In the lime

The question has been the subject Of
much study. but no conclusive answer
has been given. II Is probable that
there is an underground channel which
no great depth below the surface. The

Taking Time BY the Foretop..

| The city OF New Orleans has grab
had time By the topknot In a some
what summary manner by announcing

Of the completion of the Panama canal,
| The setting Of the date for the consum-
| nation of the canal, even with one
| years leeway, Is a bold thing to do.
Who can tell with any degree OF GER
tainty when that interOceanic water
way will be ready for use? New Or
leans seems to be setting a perilous
precedent for worlds fairs.
just suppose that the city near the
mouth of the Mississippi should build
her big exposition and have every
thing ready for opening on time ex-
cept the one thing primarily needful-
the event which the exposition is to eel
ebrate Imagine the opening ceremo-
MES on May day of 1915, with Pres
ident Roosevelt, Bryan, Taft, Folk,
Hughes, Jones-whoever the incumbent
may be--on hand with speech Of
glittering generalities, with all the ma
lions of the world represented, with
the New Orleans harbOr full Of visiting
warships, all gathered to celebrate the
opening Of the canal-and that canal
still full OF dry air and dirt!
In that event New Orleans would
present the spectacle Of another big
exposition not ready to open, though
the nnreadiness would be due to causes
outside the local sphere. Nevertheless
one must admire the pluck Of New Or
leans in pre-empting thus early the
name and the occasion. If she takes
care not to ''fall down on the date her
exposition should be glorious success,
for the completion of the canal will
realize a dream which has occupied
the minds Of men for four centuries of
and on. Christopher Columbus when
be sailed westward from the port of
Palos in 1892 had in view identically
the same object which inspires the
cutting Of the Panama canal-namely,
the discovery of water passage to the
orient. We have celebrated the four
hundredth anniversary Of the failure
of Columbus to find that passage,
though he found something lust as
good or better. Now 1t is we'll in or
der to celebrate the final fuifillment Of
the dream Of Columbus ii we can dis
cover the correct date.

All Around Self Reliance.

In giving advice to young men to be
self reliant Mr.. Charles G. Dawes, the
hnancier, recently laid stress upon the
evil Of easy money" promoters. Dis
trust the financial demagogue as you
would the political demagogue, he
says. That advice is just as good the
other way and 40 sorely needed. The
political demagOgues who teaches men
to look for the governments helping
hand before getting to work, is respon-
sible for many Micawber that fools
away his time waiting for the powers
that be to throw something his way.
For thirty years or more some of our
people have been looking to the gov
eminent to straighten out kinks in bust
ness, opportunity, and ali that This
II only another way Of waiting for
''easy money" No government, how
ever wise, powerful and generous, can
permanently help any class or any man
who wants something for nothing. Gov
eminent is q plain business PROPOSE
ton and as hard In its way as poverty
and adversely. Its primary duty 10 to
set up system and keep order, while
the citizens, individually and collective
", do the rest. For the average among
u there 10 no easy road to wealth, no
easy road to success, no easy road to
happiness. Whether these things come
or whether they elude pursuit depends
upon the man who puts up the chase.
