HAS A PETRIFIED WATERFALL
One of the Natural Wonders of the
World That Is Located in
Country of Algeria.

With all the beauty of a cataract of
living water, there is in Algeria a re-
markable petrif1ed waterfall which re-
ton of scientists. This is the Ham
mam-Meskhutin, which means The
bath of the damned" and is located 62
miles from Constantine. This solidified
cascade is the production of calcare-
GUS deposits from sulphurous and fer
ruginous mineral springs, issuing
from the depths of the earth at tenn
perature of 95 degrees centigrade.
The bath of the damned even
from a near viewpoint, looks for all
the world like a great wall of water
dashing into swirling pool at it's
foot, yet its cleaning, graceful curves
and the apparently swirling eddies at
its base are as fixed and immOvable as
if carved from the face of a granite
cliff.
Many centuries have, of course.
and the springs were well known to
the ancient Romans. The name Ham
mam-Meskhutin was given to the stone
cataract in an allusion to a legend
that the waterfall was petrified by
Allah, furnishing the impiety of UNI
believers by turning all the members
of the tribe into stone. At night, SO
the story runs, its stone dwellers of
the remote ages are freed from their
strange letters, come to life and re-
sumo their normal shapes.
