Limestone Streams

Records for low water in the rivers
and streams of the State have been
broken by the recent drouth, according
to reports received at the State Water
Supply Commission At Williamsport,
on the West Branch of the Susquehanna
river, where the tributary drainage
area is 500 square miles, the river
fell during October 0.20 of foot low
err than had previously been recorded
as the minimum, but has since risen
slightly, so that at present it is still
0.02 of foot lower than during the
previous low flow.
One interesting feature, standing out
prominently in the present drought, is
the behavior of those streams draining
limestone sections of the country. Or

river, one of the large limestone
streams in this State, is running at a
uniformly falling stage and is now

probably the most uniformly flowing
stream in the State.
On the North Branch of the Susque-
mamma river the tributaries were all
very low, but have shown general
rise during the past week. A peculiar
fact is that the main river is still low
and stationary and has not been af-
fected by the raise in the tributaries.
This condition cannot exist long and the
main river should rise slightly in Il
short time, bringing to an end the long
dry spell.
The Water Supply Commission has
had its engineers and photographers
making measurements of discharge on
the streams of the State during this
low season and has collected valuable
data relative to this subject. This in
formation is for the use of the public
and can be had by any one interested.

Her own life was as romantic any drama At thir- teen she was left an orphan. and set out on foot for London. At Cam bridge she met a studen who per suaded her to dress as a. boy and live with him at the university. At six teen she married Sir stephen Fox who died within a year. After a brief space of mourning, the beauti- full girl-widow became the bride of Col. Carol, but two years later he was slain in 8 duel, and she was again a widow. At about this time she wrote her first drama, tragedy entitled ''The Perjured Husband, ', which was produced at the Drury Lane Theatre in HOO, and was fair ly successful She then wrote several com edies which were great ''hits,'' and herself played in several of them. In 1706 she took a third husband, Joseph Centliyre, who was 'tyoeman of the mouth otherwise chief chef, to Queen Anne. They lived happily to- gether until Mrs. Cent1ivre's death in 1723.

Bret Harte was a native of Albany, N.
