levee Breaks at Panther Forest, Ark, Salem and Dog Tail Landing, La. Flooding a Great Stretch
 of Territory.

Forrest City, Ark, April 12.-(Spe- cial)--Crawley's Ridge, two miles east of this city, to the Federal levee on the Mississippi. is tonight an un- broken expanse of water The St Francis river, with its back water, and the Mississippi river, with it's rushing torrents, have lapped in their sheet of yellow misery, a distance of 3s miles east and west parallel with the Rock Island railroad
 / Madison, perched half way into se- irurity, until the St Francis this even ing swept over it's west bank, is no longer city of harbor for refugees, but on the contrary, is now fighting to protect itself from the water.
 The United States government, With It's precision of method, is feed. ing the hungry mouths at Forrest City, at Earianna and other points, and if there is actual suffering, it is in the isolated regions where the refasees cannot get out.
 The loss of life here in the path of this flood will be like the loss of life in other widespread calamities, in that t will never be all tten, but it is the living no wgetti he attention.
 The victims are for the most part uegroes. They did not believe the flood would be the largest ever 'sz.ssHn- They expected one or two. feet of water and they got 10. then when they were rescued for the points of safety in small improvlsed rafts, they could save only themselves.
 The large land owners are caring for many of these and the situation so far as known is not critical, but there will be need of much clothing TOT men, women and children, and those refugees will have to be fed long time before they can be self-sustain- ing again.
 When the water will go out, no- body knows. It's mark will last for a year.
 Little homes, abandoned in the hur- ry of getting to safety, will not be found again. It is a case of all to do over again on the part of the home less.
 Reports are meager from other sec tions, but it is reasonable to believe that the whole of the area between the St. Francis and Mississippi for half hundred miles, is inundated, and there are rumors of other breaks in the leyees. The fund that Hot Springs has raised will be needed, but it's best distribution is problem that cannot be answered In day. How and when to use it to best advantage is the question. But all along this water front there is need of clothing and blankets and these are immediate necessities. HOTCHklSS.

LAMENTARLE ERROR MADE POS sIBLE BY CoNcEALMENT OF
 RELATIONSHIP BY MOTHER.
Young Couple With Two Children and Loving Each Other, Seek Only Relief Offered by the D.
 Vorce Court.

Cincinnati. Ohio, April 12--A strange story which resulted in John r. Ruch IT., aged 22 years, being d. vorced from his sister, Helen Hoff- man Ruch, 24, was related in the n- solvency court here today The broth CT and sister were married October 25, 1910, neither at the time knowing of the blood relationship between them.
 The discovery of the relationship was disclosed a few weeks ago ana the action for divorce followed.
 It was explained to the court that the mistake had been possible because the mother had hidden from the chil- dren the fact that tTey were brother and sister, allowing them to believe that the girl was only an adopted child
 The husband was given the GUS tody of the two children.
 The petition for divorce, filed by the husband, was upon the formal ground of neglect The divorce was granted upon that ground to protect the young couple Sc fer fer ass asss possible in the record.
 The parents of the young couple were not in court when the hearing was held.
 The relationship of the Ruchs was disclosed to the young husband and wife by Judge William Lueders of the probate court, few weeks ago. in the presence of their mother, Mr.. John P. Ruch.
 Neighbors of the Ruch family in formed Judge 'Lueders that they be- lleved the couple were half brother and half sister. He learned after in- vestigation that the two had grown mp together under the belief that the girl was only an adopted daughter of Mrs. Ruch.
 The youngest of their children IS only few weeks old
 In securing the marriage license. Ruch gave the young woman's name as Helen Hoffman.
 This young man came to the pro- bate court in fSf0 and secured IT. cense to marry the young woman who it since has been discovered, is his sister" said Judge Lueders to the court
 T have investigated the matter carefully and feel certain he did not know at that time this young woman was his sister The discovery was not made until a eomparauveIy short time ago. ] had them in my office and we tried to arrive at some soiu- ton of the problem presented. Tney have two children. They still love each other. and love their children explained to them that although they might be able to keep the secret for years, there will come time as surely as anything human can be cer- tain when someone will have diseow cred it and it will be exposed possibly in their declining years. Or if the dis closure were to come not until after their death it would be left as heri- tage to their children. Now they can come into court, honestly to explain an honest mistake and do the only thing in their power to rectify that mistake"

WHY SUN CHANGES IN SIZE
Varied Opinions Are Due to Fact That
There Is Nothing With Which
TO Compare II.

Ask ten people how large the sun
looks to them when it is in mid
heaven, and you will get ten different
opinions Of its size, which range from
a silver dollar to a cart wheel. The
varied opinions are due to the fact
that there is nothing with which to
compare it when looked at by itself
Before any accurate estimate of its
size can be made, we must have some
known object with which to compare
it.
Thus, when the sun is on the hori.
zon and appears to be close to houses,
trees and hills, It looks large. To some
people 1t seems as large as a house or
tree. Moreover, there are more per
sons who will agree that II appears
to be a certain fixed size under this
condition that will agree when it is
viewed at the zenith. The diversity
Of opinion in the latter case results
from the inability of the eye to "size
up" an isolated object.
This has been proved by Prof. e. G.
lands, by projecting a narrow beam
Of light on perfectly black, nonre.
fecting screen so placed that the oh.
server could see nothing but the beam
of light, and had no way of judging
his distance from the screen. The
observations of several persons under
these conditions revealed the fact that
there was no certainty about the
length Of the beam, the apparent
length being estimated all the way
from a few inches to several feet.
This being the case when the sun is
in midheaven, how can its size be re-
duced TO some uniform standard?
The most logical answer is found by
representing It as a circle located at
fixed distance from the eye.
