FAMOUS RIVERS OF WORLD

Many are the curious beliefs and speculations connected with rivers-the Nile, so mysteriously seered to the Egyptians; the Ti- Der, so dear to the old Romans, the Rubicon, the Pactolus in which Midas.so legends go, washed away from himself the power to turn into gold everything he touched and whose sands have been golden in consequence ever since; the Ganges so sacred to the Hindus that in British courts of justice in Hin dustan its waters are used for swearing Hindus,as the Koran is used for Mohammedans. Benares, the city on the banks of the Gan ges, which the Hindus regard as the hohest spot on earth is visit ed by hundreds of thousands of pilgrims every year, who go de- voutedly to bathe in the river and so wash away their sins. June is the month they devote to Jugger- naut theif idol, and then especially is the sacred ground crowded with pilgrims,an exchange states.
 The Ganges is beautiful and wonderful river, apart from the superstitions connected with it It has it's source two miles above the level of the sea in the great Hamalayas, and the water flow out of cave of ice at the bottom of a glacier. Many other rivers flow into the Ganges, and soon it becomes a mile wide and exceeding ly swift. It is 1,540 miles long. At a distance of 300 miles from the sea the channel is thirty feet deep.
 Among famous rivers must al- ways be included the Jordan, nearly as sacred to Christians as the Ganges is to the Hindus, because of the baptism of Christ in it's waters. The Jordan near its source is below the level of the ocean and the Dead sea, where it empties, is a quarter of a mile below the surface of the Mediterranean.
 There were four old lords of the Jordan. At one of these on the before Easter the pilgrims of the Greek church, often thous- ands in number, who have come down from Jerusalem escorted by Turkish soldiers, perform the well known ceremony of bathing in the sacred stream. A short distance be- low this is the point where the river loses itself in lifeless waters of the Dead Sea.

Terror of Shells

the pathetic scenes in the street.
There are two men over in the hos

blown off and the other had the top
of his head knocked off. I've got TO

As he ran across the street to the
hospital l saw him taking off his

his house coat would be off; her he
would be in a white apron; and soon
the apron would be red and the great
physician from London would be
doing the work of mercy that no Or

J at.
The roar of hundreds Of guns came
to us from the battle line, as we en-
tered a little country hotel to eat.
J No shells had fallen on the town
now for an hour; the tension was re-

gians with PACKAGES; some of them
were sitting on chairs, at their door

sETrLEMERT OF
 CONTROVERSY OVER ANcoNA
Austro- Hungarian Charge Negotiating
 with Secretary Lansing.

Washington, Dec. 1.-Pending re- ceipt of Austria-Hungary's reply to the second American note regarding the sinking of the Italian steamship Ancona, Baron Erich Zweidinek, charge of the Austro- Hungarian embassy. is conducting, or forming basis to con- duct, informal negotiations with Sec- retary Lansing looking toward an ami- cable settlement of the controversy. An intfmation to that effect was re- ceived at the state department today after the charge had conferred at some length with the secretary.
 It is understood Baron Zwiedinek is attempting negotiations similar to those conducted by Count Won Bern storff, the German ambassador, after the sinking of the Arabic. It is con- sidered improbable, however, that such negotiations can develop to an i'm portant stage until after receipt of the next formal communication from Austro-Hungary, which is expected some time within the next week.
 Just what authority Baron Zwied- enik has been given has not been made known. It was recalled today that re- lations between the United States and Germany were seriously strained when the German ambassador was given virtually free hand to conduct the negotiations. In some official quarters the belief prevails. that it was the ne- gottations conducted by Count Won Bernstorff which prevented the sit uation from becoming more serious than it at one time admittedly was.

TWO FfREMEN KILLED
 AT FIRE IN BOSTON
When Floor of Burning Factory Col
 Iapsed-A Third Man Injured.

Boston, Dec 21-Two firemen were killed and a third was seriously in jured when a floor collapsed in a burn ing factory building on Cambridge street early today. The victoms were Dennis A. Walsh and Charles c. Will lett. William Mccarthy, the injured man, was taken to a hospital.
 The three men were fighting the flames on the third floor of the six story brick building. The floor above gave way and buried them. It was more than an hour before their com rades could reach them and Walsh and Willett were found dead.
 Another fireman, William J. Connell, was badly hurt by falling from lad der.
 The fire caused damage estimated at $50,000 to the building, which was occupied by the Glenbrook Wine com pany, the National Rubber company and the Massachusetts Thread Works It started on the second floor and worked upward and through the roof.
 The inmates of the Charles Street jail, just behind the burning structure, were reused and made ready for re- moYal if necessary, and persons liv- ing in an adjoining boarding house and tenement houses prepared to leave The fire, however, was confined to the factory building
