River Flows Inland From Sea.

A currant of water will flow back
and forth in tide-water river, but
on the Island Of Ccphalonia, near
Greece, says Popular Mechanics. is
the curious phenomena Of a river
steadily flowing inward from the sea
and disappearing. All rivers naturally
flow toward the lower levels to the
sea, and this curious instance on the
island in the Mediterranean is not du-
plicated anywhere else in the world
80 far as is known.
The sea, which Is almost tideless,
enters The land at four points where
the coast is practically on level with
the surface Of the sea. These four
streams unite to form the little river
that flows inland until it finally dis
appears in the limestone rocks and
sinks into the earth. The volume Of
the river is too great to be removed
by evaporation and the question Is.
Where does it go?
