A DIVERTED RIVER.
Who Changed the Flow Of the karun
In Persia Is a Mystery.

In Persia Is a Mystery.
Arabistan lies at the head Of the Per
sian gulf its western boundary being
the Shatel- Arab. the great river formed
by the combined waters of the Tigris
and Euphrates. the right bank Of which
is In Persian territory, while the left
Is In Turkish Arabia. Forty miles
above where 1t flows into the Persian
gulf the Shatel-Arab is Joined by the
Karun. and the town of Mohammerah
stands at the junction of the two rivers,
the former clear green stream, the
latter thick and red.
In ancient times the Karun flowed
into the gulf and part of the river still
runs along the old channel, but the
main stream has been diverted. three
miles above Mohammerah, into an arti-
fetal channel known geographically
as the Haffar canal.
II is impossible even to make a guess
at the date of this wonderful work, not
even a tradition remaining of the ruler
whose farsightedness realized the enor-
nous advantage of joining up the two
water ways. Alexander the Great has
been suggested. but apparently for no
other reason than that he is a con-
venient and likely person to credit with
any ambitious enterprise. and that one
Of his many Alexandrias was built on
the site Of the present Mohammerah.-
