! FAMOUS RIVERS OF WORLD
Many are the curious beliefs
and speculations connected with
rivers—the Nile, so mysteriously
secred to the Egyptians; the Ti
j ber, so dear to the old Romans,
| the Rubicon, the Pactolus in which
‘ Midas,so legends go, washed away
from iiimsolf the power to turn
into gold everything he touched and
whose sands have been golden in
consequence ever since; the Ganges
so sacred to the Hindus that in
British courts of justice in Hin
dustan its waters are used for
swearing Hindus,as the Koran is
used for Mohammedans. Benares,
the city on the banks of the Gan
ges, which the Hindus regard as '
' the holiest spot on earth ,is visit-1
ed by hundreds of thousands of
pilgrims every year, who go de
voutedly to bathe in the river and
so wash away their sins. June is
the month they devote to Jugger
naut, theft idol, and then especially
is the sacred ground crowded with
pilgrims,an exchange states.
The Ganges is a beautiful and
wonderful river, apart from the
superstitions connected with it
It has its source two miles above
the level of the sea in the great
Hamalayas, and the water flow
out of a cave of ice at the botom
of a glacier. Many other rivers
flow into the Ganges, and soon it
becomes a mile wide and exceeding
ly swift. It is 1,540 miles long.
At a distance of 500 miles from
the sea the channel is thirty feet
deep.
Among famous rivers must al
ways be included the Jordan, nearly
as sacred to Christians as the
Ganges is to the Hindus, because
of the baptism of Christ in its
waters. The Jordan near its source
j is below the level of the ocean and
! the Dead sea, where it empties, is
a quarter of a mile below the
surface of the Mediterranean.
There were four old fords of the
Jordan. At one of these on the
Monday before Easter the pilgrims
of the Greek church, often thous
ands in number, who have come
down from Jerusalem escorted by
Turkish soldiers, perform the well
known ceremony of bathing in the
sacred stream. A short distance be
low this is the point where the
river loses itself in lifeless waters
j of the Dead Sea.
DOGES FROM CLOUD TO CLOUD
—
French Aviator Tell of a Thrilling
Experience
PARIS, Oct. 30—Aviator known
as “G. G.” who recently destroyed in
one trip one German aeroplane and
a captive baloon, tells his thrilling
experience in a letter to a friend
her, in which he says rn part:
“It was our fourth attempt,”
writes the aviator, “to attack a fam
ous baloon which was so well guard
ed that we never were able to get
near it. When we got over the
Boche lines I saw our balloon em
erging from a sea of clouds 15
miles away. Being wary, we made
j a wide detour so as to get to the
| windward and bear down upon it
1 from its own lines, whence it was
j certain not to expect an attack.
“On the way, however, we came
} upon a substantial aeroplane which,
j being beneath us, did not appear
to see us. I signalled our pilot.
! He pushed his engine to 1,300 rev
j olutions and dropped vertically up
on the enemy. My position was
precarious, my body hanging out
over space, clinging to a strut with
the left hand, my right hand on the
butt of a machine gun.
“At 350 yards I opened fire. In
stantly the Boche swerved and tried
! to flee, but he got across us and I
gave him a broadside. He pitched
downward into the clouds.
“We were then within three miles
of th balloon. We advanced crab
wise, jumping from cloud to cloud.
I Th balloon did not budge. We got
close up. I gave the sign and we
swooped upon him. When 300 yards
above it I opened the second gun.
in 12 seconds it was all over. I
leaned over and could see the bal
loon, half deflated, lying on the
trees. The German batteries saw
nothing and did not fire on us.”
