or Is II, perhaps, because he regrets not
having caught her and exhibited her in

Antony had been married to Octavia.

ed this noble lady and followed the Egyp.
tian siren it angered the young Caesar and
helped his ambitions. When Augustus led
his army against Antony he said to his
soldiers:
ut is not against Antony. the Roman
soldier, that we are going to fight but
against this woman, who in the delirium Of
her hopes and the intoXication OF her good
fortune dreams of the fall OF the Capitol
and the ruin OF the Empire"
Augustus met the forces OF Antony and
Cleopatra near Actium on the Ionian Sea.
Antony would have fought on land. as he
was the most popular Roman general. but
Cleopatra persuaded him. in spite of the
advice Of his soldiers. to meet Augustus at
sea- because she wished her large feet TO
share in the glory of the battle. Antony
then put most Of his army on the ships.
Augustus, by skilful manoeuvring. threw
the hostile feet into confusion The battle
was by no means lost, however. when
Cleopatra was struck by panic and sailed
away at the head OF her fleet Antony could
not stay away from his charmer, and for
getting the men who were dying for him
he took his swiftest galley and followed
the Queens ship with the purple sails
Augustus then completely scattered the
forces OF Antony. Cleopatra returned to
Alexandria. where she plundered the
temples, and desiring the friendship of
the Modes sent them the head Of her pris-
oner the King OF Armenia, as gift. There

A Vanishing River.

ONE Of the most remarkable rivers
~ in the world flows through the
northern part of Mexico. 1t borders
the great Mexican desert and to reach
it one need travel only one days jour-
ney on horseback from the Rio
Grande, which marks the southern
boundary Of the United States in that
region. The extraordinary river in
question has it's source in the hills
bordering the desert. 1t flows south
ward for some twenty miles as
smoothly as any we'll behaved river,
but, suddenly, as it flows between
, high bluffs, it becomes whirling
rapids-rapids so strong and so dan
gerous that no man has ever been
brave enough to attempt to cross the
rushing waters.
One follows the rapids, as he walks
along the bluff on either side, for
about two miles, and then that river
vanishes utterly. Hence the name
denly, mysteriosuly, completely, into
the earth itself, and not into a cave,
as one would suppose. Scientists have
tried in vain to ascertain where that
river goes; all that they have yet an
nounced as the result of their ex-
plorations is that the river seems to
drop sheer into the earth, as over the
brink of a bottomless abyss, and that
this Vanishing river is the most
amazing body OF water known to
geographers.
