Observation-Disclosures,

Can you imagine river that gets
rusty? There is one which is subject
TO this phenomenon-the River OBJ.
which falls into the Arctic ocean and
runs through the north of Siberia.
The OBJ contains great amount OF
iron. Every year when 1t freezes over
the iron Is cut off from the air. The
result is that the metal precipitates.
or, in other words, instead of being
dissolved in the water. becomes
solid.
The whole underside of the ice Is
covered thickly with rust. and even
the fish and other creatures become
rusty. In the lower reaches, where
ice does not form. the water. ordi-
narily quite clear. becomes cloudy and
discolored. The whole river. $500
miles long. becomes poisonous.
People living near it have to quench
their thirst with melted snow. and
most Of the fish leave the river and
seek safety in the sea. They are told
by instinct when the time arrives for
their annual exodus.
In the spring the ice thaws and the
air renders the river free from poison.
The fish Immediately return. They
swim up the stream in such vast num-
bers that they are packed tightly to-
gether. Any boat that tries to navi-
