Rivers Diverted From
Beds by Fields of Ice
It Is n lons way from present-day
floods ulong tin; Mississippi river back
to (lie great Ice age, but happenings
of ilie latter period have considerable
hearing on the trials and tribulations
of the valley dwellers.
Before the great Helds of lee worked
their way down from tlie north, at
least two rivers, the upper Missouri
and the Yellowstone, flowed northeast
and emptied Into Hudson hay. Willi
the advent of flie sheets of lee, how
ever, these two rivers were forced to
run to the smith, and their combined
waters cut the gorge now followed
by the Missouri through the Dakotas.
At the same time I lie Red river lie
enme a huge pond called glacial Lake
Agassiz, with an outlet to Hie Minne
sola river valley. I’art of the water
shed of flic Red river became a per
manent source of water for a river
flowing to Hie south and Hie original
head of Hie Missouri river. This river
is now known ns Hie James river.
"With the melting of the great Ice
dam, the Red river resumed its normal
flow to the north, hut Hie others con
tinued to the south. —Exchange.
Stream in Venezuela
Explorers Call Unique
What Is called the Caslquinre “eun
nl” In soul horn Venezuela Is not u
canal at all, hut a natural stream
which connects two rivers which are
flowing in different directions, and It
Js said lo be the only river which
acts in this manner. There is said to
be a very small stream in the Kooky
mountains which divides Itself and
part of its waters find its way into I lie
Pacific while the remainder finally
gets to the Atlantic. Many writers
who have had occasion to refer to llie
erratic behavior of the Unslqiilare
state that it Hows one way at times
and In am (her direction at other
times, tint recent investigations have
proven that this Is not so and the wa
ters of the Cnsiquiure invariably How
in one direction from tlie Orinoco to
the Kio Negro, which Is a branch of
the Amazon. The mouths of these
two streams are separated by thou
sands of miles.
Caruso’s Generosity
Caruso, the great, tenor, was. It is
slated by some of the newspaper men
in New York, very generous. He used
to give them each year lie was in that
city a sum of about sl,fi(K) as a dou
ceur. A man in a position swell as
Caruso’s could easily afford to do this,
because in New York alone lie got a
fee of $2,400 for each time he sang—
and that was at least sixty times in
a season —besides being Invited to sing
live to six times at Atlantic City at an
honorarium of SI,OOO a time; so that
this famous singer made in one season
in America a siiin of $200,000 besides
$20,000 for ids gramophone records.
Famoui American Tree*

111 Luck and Good Luck
It was a piece of ill-luck which di
reeled Cecil Rhodes lo South Africa,
hut It turned out luckily. 111-liealth

declaring that the climate of that part
of the world would he beneficial to

if lie remained In England lie would
lie doomed to an early dentil. The cli

one of the lending figures in the indus

"Ye gods!” said the motorist, who

all these children are yours?”
“Sure thing, stranger,” yawned the
mountaineer.
"Good heavens!" exclaimed the mo

“Don’t," he replied. " ’Mother batty

A* Richter Saw Thing*
Except by name, . T .“uri Paul Fried
rich Richter Is little known out of
Germany. The only thing connected
with him, we think, that has reached
this country Is his saying. Imported by
Madame de Stael and tlinnk fully
pocketed by most newspaper critics—
“ Providence bus given to the French
tlie empire of Hie land; to the English,
that of the sea; to the Germans that
of the air l’’—Thomas Carlylo (1795
1881), "Richter" In Hie Edinburgh Re
view.
Cook Book* in Story Form
To put over their message In the
most pleasing guise, cook books once
were written In story form or ns a
collection of letters, as In “Letters to
a Young Housekeeper.” Among such
cook books was one entitled “Gen
Me Breadwinners." The heroine passes
through various adventures in which
she makes frencli Icing, Venetian
cakes, mince meat, candied orange and
lemon peel until, ns the climax, she
wins, by means of her good cooking, a
home and a husbund.—Detroit News
Clock 132 Year* Old
One of the oldest, and probably the
oldest clock In continuous use In
'America Is an old German-made lime
keeper which surmounts the town hall
at Frederick, Md„ reports a writer In
the Farm Journal. It was installed In
171)7, soon after John Adams had suc
ceeded Washington as President, and
It lias tolled Hie hours without inter
rupllon during the years since.
But If He Fail*
Charles Levine, of flying fame, w T as
talking about an aged millionaire’s
marriage to a beautiful stenographer
of 1!) summers.
"The old hoy should he happy
enough In this marriage," Mr. Levine
said, “for Ids bride Is a sensible, level
headed girl, and she’ll cling to him for
all lie is worth.’’
