ARABlA'S DIVERTED RIVER.
A Work That May Have Been Directed
by Alexander the Great

Arabia lies at the head Of the Per
sian gulf, its western boundary being
the Shat-el-Arab, the great river form
ed by the combined waters Of the Tigris
and Euphrates, the right bank of which
Is in Turkish Arabia.
Forty miles above where 1t flows into
the Persian gulf the Shat-el-Arab is
joined by the Karun, and the town Of
Mohammerah stands at the junction OF
the two rivers. the former a 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
1t is impossible even to make guess
at the date of this wonderful work,
not even a tradition remaining Of the
ruler whose farsightedness realized
the enormous value and possibilities OF
the waterways.
Alexander the Great has been sug-
gested, but apparently for no other
reason than that he is "A convenient
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

Some Golf Shot.

A Glasgow golfer vouches for the
following: playing over the Cathcart
castle course one evening last summer
with two friends, we were approaching
the fourth green, which is of the
plateau type. Having played my sec
ond, | was preparing to walk toward
the green when the air was rent with
loud laughter and shouting On going
forward to inquire the cause of the
hilarity we learned that my shot had
overrun the green, passed between the
legs of the player who was at the mo
ment in the act of driving from the
fifth tee (the fifth being at right an
giles to the fourth, knocked his ball
from the tee, and his club. descending,
had made perfect shot with my ball
to the edge OF the fifth green, IT'S

Dy a Zeppelin, says II 4. Hearne IN
"Zeppelins and Super-Zeppelins."
Today the tendency is to attribute
too high a speed to the vessels. In
still air 1t is doubtful if higher speed
than sixty-five miles an hour can be
reached, and by the most careful cal
culation Mr.. Hearne has come to the
conclusion that the average speed of
the modern Zeppelin in war trim is
about forty miles an hour, full load.
"Of course" he says, with favor
ing wind the ship may often be rum
ming at over sixty miles an hour, and
the difficulty of gauging wind speed
often causes erroneous estimates of
Zeppelin speed by observers on land.
In the upper region where an airship
Is moving there may be a strong cur
rent, while near the earth there is
calm"
1t Is well to note that for a short
period Zeppelin can climb faster than
an aeroplane. BY throwing out ballast,
going full speed ahead jamming the
tail down and showing the nose up,
Zepp jumps a thousand feet or so in
about half minute. This rate of
climb however, cannot be maintained.

EXERCISE AND FOOD.
In the Interest of Good Health They
Should Just Balance.

Should Just balance.
ut has not been so very long, com
paratively speaking. since our ances-
tors were almost exclusively animal In
their daily pursuits" says the New
York Medical Journal. Since then
the blessing of cooking has proved
often a curse, in that 1t adds tempta-
ton to our natural tendency to take
more food than we need for sedentary
purposes, merely for the sake of the
SAVIOR thereof
1T is such a JOY to dine, and other
sources of pleasure seem so scarce or
of such less moment to the average
man that to large extent eating has
become one of the reasons for exist
ence We have made much OF the evil
of treating to alcoholic drinks, but the
temptation held out to intemperance
In foods is a more widespread evil,
with serious consequences in the long
run.
with q reasonable amount of mus
cular exercise, perhaps, truer physio-
logical balance is reached then If we
are purely sedentary We approximate
more nearly our animal ancestry as to
muscular activity, and we can exer-
else our digestive powers a trifie more
without harm. Surely IL we do not
expect to suffer in one way or another
the amount OF bodily exercise must
balance the intake of food or the In
take of food must be made to CORE
spond with the degree of bodily ac-
tivity"

Enrca of a ElNinn Bird

The marvellous force with which a
bird flies was strikingly illustrated re
Gently when partridge crashed
through a big window of a country es-
tate The window was glazed with
plate glass a quarter of an inch thick
The bird, which weighed twenty
ounces, was found dead In the living
room eleven feet from the window
The impact Of its body broke a hole In
the heavy glass about three feet in di-
ameter The window is more than five
feet square and close to the ground
1t overlooks a large lawn, which at
certain times In the day Is very vividly
reflected in the glass. 1t IS thought
that the bird was deceived by this re
fiection into thinking it was flying
through an opening Nearly oil Of the
broken glass was thrown into the
room Detroit Free Press.

STORY OF TWO BOYS.
Their Methods Were Different, and So
Were the Results.


Two boys left home with just money
enough TO take them through college.
They both did well at college, took
their diplomas In due time and got
from members of the faculty letters to
q large shipbuilding firm with which
they desired employment. When the
first boy was given an audience with

The other boy then presented MIN
self and his papers.
What can you dop' the president
asked him
Anything that green hand can do,
SIR was the reply.
The president touched a bell that
called a foreman, and the college grad
uate went to sorting scrap iron. a
week passed, and the president, meet
ing the superintendent, asked, How is
the new man getting on?"
"Oh." said the superintendent, "he

REVEALED A STATE SECRET.
An indiscreet Envoy Who Paid Dearly
For His Loose Tongue.

For His Loose Tongue.
In a history of the Turks, Chalconey-
las, a Greek, relates how fleet OF
Crusaders sailing toward Constantine
pie In the beginning of the thirteenth
century was becalmed at the entrance
of the Hellespont.
At that time there was at the court
of Athens an ambassador of the king
Of France, who set out In a galley to
visit the chiefs of the fleet. The .admi-
raj conilded 10 him that he mad been
ordered to take Constantinople 10y sur
prise.
The ambassador spoke of the diff
culties and dangers of this passage, as
1t was between two banks from which
ballistae could hurl upon the vessels
enormous stones, boiling oil and, above
all, Greek fire.
The admiral revealed to him that the
governors of the forts would make lit
tie resistance, as they had been brtb-
ed The ambassador was so pleased
that as soon as he had returned TO land
he had great trouble TO hold his tongue
He was heard to prophesy in mystic
rious words that the famous passage
would soon be forced.
AS there were spies on all sides the
words of the ambassador were soon
carried to Constantinople. When the
feet presented itself in the Hellespont
the catapults OF the Turks manifested
great activity. The bribed captains of
the forts had been removed and others
were III their places. The indiscreet
ambassador was recalled to Paris and

DRAMATIC INCIDENTS.
How Sothern Learned of the Deaths o
Booth and Mccullough.

Booth and Mccullough.
1t has been my fortune to encounter
two rather startling coincidents in con
and John Mccullough.
The night that Edwin Booth died /
was taking supper in the dining room
of the Players club with three friends.
There were no other men In the club.
1t was about o'clock In the morning.
We, of course, knew that Mr.. Booth
was i'll, but his death was not expected
Immediately While we We're talking
over our meal suddenly every light In
the club went out. Ny companions be-
gan to call for the waiter and protest
loudly. From the darkness right at
our elbows u voice, that Of Mr.. Nc
CONCEAL, the manager of the club, said:
"Hushl Mr.. Booth Is dead"
