River Flows Inland From Sea.

A currant of water will flow back and forth in a tide-water river, but on the Island of Cephalonia, near Greece, says Popular Mechanics, is the curious phenomena of a river Steadily flowing inward from the sea and disappearing. All rivers naturally flow toward the lower levels to the sea. and this curious instance on. the island in the Mediterranean is not duplicated anywhere else in the world so far as is known. ' Tbe sea, which is almost tideless, enters the land at four points where the coast is practically on a level with the surface of the sea. These four streams unite to form the little river that flows inland until it finally disappears in the limestone rocks and I sinks into the earth. 'The volume of ths river la too great to be removed by evaporation and the question is. Where does it go?
