List In the streets Of London, lost
beyond al hslp of police or town
crierl There Is something weird In
bhe very words, "lost rivers" Some
thing suggestive Of caverns and OF
the dark and, incidentally, OF treas
nre. In the cases of these departed
streams there are caverns and DARK
and treasure truly enough, but the
rivers have gone forever, choked up
by the great overbearlug city which
knows no check in it's mighty growth.
In Mr.. Heckethorn's London Sou
venirs" there is a description of some
Of the waterways which that town
has brought to naught.
In the ancient days numerous riv
ers, rivulets and brooks ran through
the land now paved SO closely, and
crossed and recrossed by streets and
subways. Some of those rivers Oh
the past were so large as to cause
serious foundations. Now they have
totally disappeared, and men walk
easily ON asphalt pavements instead
Of picking their way over stepping
stones or crossing small foot-bridges.
In digging London cellars shovela
often uncover evidences not only OF
land but of water life. In 1895 a
man, excavating at Cheapside, fifteen
feet below the pavement, came on
the channel Of a brook on the bank
of which a tree sawed into five steps
SO that one could step over the same
brook" In 1884 a river channel was
uncovered, with an ancient landing
stage of mosaic pavement.
Laying the foundations Of the Ma
tional Safe Deposit Building brought
to light at the depth of forty feet the
ancient course of the Wellbrooke, in
the bed of which was found an enorm'
Gus quantity of broken crockery and
kitchen utensils-evidence that the
careless cook or maid of English
Rome had ways of concealment not
unlike those of today. The banks OF
the Wellbrooke were favorite sites
for fashionable villas.
The River Fleet formed an import
ant part of London topography. Elk
tensive gardens ran down to the
rivers edge. Old bridges and piers
have been discovered; ancient
wharves and anchors, all hidden I'M
der the hurry and stir of modern
and dry London.-Youth's Compan

TO MAKE SUBMARINES SAFE.
English Naval OFFICERS Invent an
Escaping Suit fer Accidents.

Escaping Suit fer Accidents.
Two officers OF the British navy;
Commander Hall and Staff Surgeon
Rees, have invented an apparatus
which, 1T is expected, will remove the
present dangers to crews navigating
submarine boats. 1t is designed to
enable the men to escape from the
vessel even If 1t Is filled with watef
or poisonous gases.
Experiments carried out by the Adj
miralty at Portsmouth proved, it is
stated, that the apparatus will fulfil
what Is claimed for it, and 1T is likely
to be adopted Don by the British
fleet.
The invention resembles a diving
helmet with a jacket attached. 1t con-
tains an ingenious oxygen generator,
the chief feature OF which IL that the
oxygen may be breathed and rebreatR.
ed repeatedly for several hours, be-
cause the ~carbonic acid in the respir-
ed air is absorbed by a special SUBJ
stance called oxylithe.
The apparatus also has thu Qualities
of a life buoy, and the wearer when
under water can by a simple manipu-
latdon rise to the surface rapidly and
float until rescued. The apparatus can
be hung handily within a submarine
boat and al be donned in thirty Sec
onds. Even in the most poisonous
fumes of chlorine gas, which sea wat
er generates when it comes in con-
tact with the batteries of submarine
boats, the wearer can live for All hour
and twenty minutes.
Commander Hall says he does not
want to keep the patent a secret, and
there is no reason why foreign govern
ments should not use the apparatus.

rho The champions Of the
Superfluous appointment Of which
COmm1ttee created such a wave OF
dissatisfaction in most of the Jewish pa
pers of this country, begin to defend the
un-American and un-democratic meth
ods employed in the self-election. In
the first place they impute impure mo-
tives to all those who had and still have
the courage and backbone to call spade
a spade. Judging, no doubt, others by
their own standard, they claim that the
majority Of editors Of the Jewish press
of this country criticise the Russian way
Of appointing instead Of electing Of said
committee from reasons Of selfshness
and vanity, because they themselves
were not appointed. Granted, for the
sake Of argument, such claim were
true, even then the injustice and wrong
done is not justifable. To search into

and the oldest republic at that, the Jews
do not occupy, at least not politically,
the position they occupy in old Euro
pean lands. The number Of Jews in the
United States Congress is very small in
deed when compared with the number of
Jews in the parliaments of other ma
tions. Even in Russia, there were in the
last Duma proportionately more Jews
than are in the Congress of the United
States. The same is the case in Ger
many, Austria, Hungary and France,
where in the parliaments Jews are prom
inently in evidence. In Italy, with her
very small Jewish population, there is
very large number Of Jews in Parlia-
ent, and no less than three, and the most
important positions in the Italian Cab
met of Ministers, are held by Jews who,
moreover, take interest in Judaism This,
too, in Rome, the seat Of Vatican, the
journalistic mouthpiece Of which the
"Osservatore Romana," is anti-Semitic
to the core. And what about England,
with her numerically very insignificant
population?

dent Of one of the leading American pa
pers has to say on the very important
subject:

American Israel, who owe whatever they
are to the Jews and Judaism upon
whose backs they have ridden into polit
ical Offices but to whom Jews and Juda-
ism owe absolutely nothing, because they
have never done an unselfish act in their
life. There are men in the committee
who will soon make political capital out
Of the fact that they have been ap-

The last trump in defense of the Rus
sian procedure in connection with said
committee is the argument that it would
be next to impossible to have such COM
mittee elected, as the difficulties in the
way Of such a popular election are in
surmountable. Hence, if such com
mittee should be elected by the people
there would be no committee at all.
Even at the risk that some Of our
readers should be surprised, we plainly
concede that this last argument is abso-
lutely correct. And therefore we close
this article with little story.
