and a thousand minor streams. Yet
the level stays below the level of the
Atlantic, despite the fact that there
Is no outlet. The reason, of course,
is that evaporation, the invisible pro-
cess of lifting moisture into the
heavens, takes the water out as fast
as the great visible torrents can
bring it in. The rush of water as
cending to the skies all around US,
though invisible, is greater than
many Niagaras.
Cause OF Amazon's Floods
Another interesting investigation
recently made by the Weather Blu
reau concerns the great floods of the
Amazon river in South America. In
recent years floods of tremendous
volume have swept down and mum
dated the banks of this greatest of
streams. Here again, it was first
thought that heavy rains were re-
sponsible for the flood stages but a
patient study of precipitation in the
Interior exploded this theory.
The mouths of the Amazon form
a delta, many separate streams emp
tying into the sea. The investigation
has shown that these channels at
some seasons fill up with sediment,
clogging the passage of the waters.
Great trees falling into the river be-
come waterlogged and heavy and, by
the time they reach the delta, will
be nearly all submerged. Their pro-
truding branches will stick in the
mud and sands of the bottom and
hold them stationary. Other logs
will come floating down the stream
and a log jam results beneath the
surface. Silt and sand, drifting down
in the current will come to rest
against these logs and automatically
make dams. When the spring floods
come they must rise over these OBJ
structions which are now regarded
as the u of the unusually high
water noted in recent years. It is
believed that it might be possible to
dynamite some of these natural dams
and let the current carry the frag.
ments out to sea.
Sometimes portions of these mass.
es of logs and earth will break away
and float down the river. Grasses
and other vegetation get a foothold
on them and give them the appear.

@. Why won't paper labels stick to
tin cans when ordinary paste is used?
e. C. II.
A. If proper methods are used,
the labels will stick. Paste for cans
should not be too thin, and the can
should be free from grease. New
tin generally has an oily or greksy
surface, due to the tallow or oil Med
in the plating process. The grease
may be removed with an alkali or
with benzine.

@. When were horse shoes first
used?-G. w. r.
A. 1t is known that the ancients
had certain devices for covering the
feet of horses but the practice of
mailing iron plates or rim -shoes to

been introduced earlier than the End
century B. c.. and was not common
ly known until the close of the 5th
century A. D., or in regular use un-
til the Middle Ages.
