AN UNCERTAIN RIVER.
Fhs Indus Has a Bad Habit of Chang­
ing Its Channal.
The river Indus In width during the
fear may vary by miles. Traffic for
long distances cannot be guaranteed
because the ever shifting channel
throws up mud flats and sand banks
here and overwhelm» good land there
In a manner which defeats the wis­
dom of the ancient boatmen.
With the Indus, too, it Is not merely
a question of land or water. There is
always a gamble as to the kind of
land which the river will recede from.
In one place It will leave magnificent
soil ready at on e to take a splendid
crop of wheat even If the winter rains,
as Is too oft» n the case, amount to
nothlug. In another the greater mois­
ture will only allow leguminous ['hints

to flocks of gray and bar headed
geese. Other lands again will grew
nothing but long reeds and low tama­
risk scrub These. If properly placed in
