Why Not See Mexico7

Forty-eight hours Of travel will take
you from the cold clustering Northern
winter to>a land of sunshine and flowers
What Egypt and India are to the old
world, Mexico is to the new. "a land
of white sunshine, redolent with towers
a land of gay costumes, crumbling
churches, and old converts. land of
kindly greetings, of extreme courtesy,
of open, broad hospitality. It was
more than enough to reveal in an
Italian sun, lighting up semi-tropical
land; to look up to white-capped peaks
towering into blue; to look down upon
wind-swept plains, encircled by ragged
chains of mountains; and to relize that
today, in its varied scenery, costumes
architecture, street life, canals crowd
ed with fowerladen boats, market
places thronged with gaily dressed
natives, faded church interiors, and
abaneoned converts. Mexico is the most
marvelously picturesque country nnder
the sun. A tropical Venice; A semi
barbarous Spain; A new Holy Lane"

Causes Of Earthquakes.

There are many earthquakes which
there is reason to suppose have been
caused by those sheering movements
of the rocks which produce what ge-
ology terms faults. Others are known
which appear to have been caused by
the sudden dropping or fall Of con-
siderable tract of the earth's surface
with the underlying rocks of great.
but unknown, thickness. In such
cases large areas of the surface. more
than 100 miles square in extent, sud-
denly sink, causing the earth to trem-
BILE many hundreds of miles away.

Broke Leg In Catching Fly.

There have been many cases where
ball players in throwing the sphere
about have fractured their arms at
the elbows or the shoulder. but the
records show only one instance where
a player ever broke both legs in at
tempting to catch a fly ball. Umpire
King, one of the American leagues
judges of play, several years ago.
while taking part in game. ran after
a foul fly. He misjudged it and in
suddenly turning around to make the
catch he fractured both knee caps.
AS a result of this queer accident he
was confined to his bed for seven
months and never played ball again.

Planting Acorn. and w.Inuts.

Planting Aeerns and Walnuts-
L. NJ. H.-what is the proper time
and method of planting seeds Of the
nak and the walnut?
Walnuts and acorns should either
be planted as soon as they are ripe
In the autumn or kept where they
will not dry out. and then planted In
tie spring. as once they become dry
their terminating power is much less
ened and sometimes destroyed. As
the soil may be now too much frozen
to plant the nuts this year. they may
be put in q box spread out in thin
layers alternately with layers OF
moist sand. The box should then be
buried outside to prevent drying out
and To allow the frost to crock the
nuts. or the box may be kept In
cellar. but with less satisfactory re-
suits. Another good plan is to make
a shallow hole in the ground outside.
spread out the nuts and cover with
two or three inches Of soil and leave
them there until spring. In the spring
the nuts and acorns may either be
planted where they ara to remain per.
mnnently or else in rows three feet
apart. The acorns should not be plant
ed more than two inches deep. and
the walnuts not more than three
inches.
