   Let us briefly recall what, no doubt, many of you already know, is the way in which a river is formed. The rain falling on the uplands runs, in part, down the slopes to join an existing brook, or sinks, in part into the ground, until it is stopped by some layer, such as hard rock or clay, which it cannot penetrate. Here it gathers in a pool until pressure forces it to seek an outlet, and it issues from the hillside in a trickly stream, which is often the source of a river. Even the great Shannon, we shall presently see, has its rise in a seemingly humble manner like this.
