CRACK IN EARTH

laws

MARATHON. Tex, Dee. 30-The sec
ond largest crack in the earth in the
United States has been discovered in a
remote part of the Terlingua quicksilver
district. ninety miles south Of here, ac-
cording to DR.. William b. Phillips. for
merly director of the State mineral sur
vey, who is now operating mines in that
section.
DR.. Phillips says this crack is four
teen miles long and no less than 200
feet wide at any point. II is 800 feet
deep. The walls are almost perpen-
dicula-.
The country where II is located has
an altitude OF about 5000 feet Careful
exploration of this remarkable crack
mas not yet been made. 1t is believed
that search may reveal rich minerals
particularly quicksilver.
One Inhabitant.
The crack Is far from any human
habitation, with the exception OF the
shack OF an old Mexican. who lives
In its gloomy bottom. He was found
by party Of hunters. but fed at their
approach and reached the bottom OF
the crack by means of rude rope lad
der, which he had made from the fiber
Of the cactus plant.
The hunters followed him down the
ladder and cOrnered him in his house
The old man could not be induced TO
talk much. Only a glimmer OF the sun
could be seen from the bottom OF the
pit. and the Americans did not tarry
long.
They noticed that stream of pure
water bubbled uD near the Mexican's
shack and thai he seemed well pro-
Yided with veg bles and other edibles
Goats grazed upon the grass and shrub
berry which covered the floor of the
cavern. and chickens were gathered
around the home of the hermit The.
old Mexican said he came there wears
before from Mexico. How long ago he
could not remember. He lived there be-
cause he wanted to be alone. He had
miles distant. few times

Mexic8us and Americans. Many futile
pursuits after these lnurderers and
thieves were made by the United
States and Texas officers of the law.
The discovery of this crack NAV ex-
plain how these criminals evaded cap
ture so easily. II is believed that
they made the cavern their rendezvous
and some persons thinTs that a vast
store Of robbers treasure may be found
there.

NEW YORK. Dec. 30-ProbabIy the
most universally popular dog-the fox
terrier-was scarcely known a hundred
years ago. and then he was q, very diff
ferent animal than the fox terrier of
today.
His actual origin is unknown. al
though some authorities claim that he
comes from a cross of an ordinary ter
rier with beagle. Many remember
when he was found with enormous ears
frequently reaching almost to the
ground. a King Charles spaniers
might do. Gradually the ears have
shortened but some say they may grow

Color Has Changed.
The color of the fox terrier has
changed greatly with the passing OF
time Now his fixed color is white with
splashes here and there. much better
than the old yellow or pepper and salt
combination once so common
And there is a growing preference for
the wire-haired fellows. who have a
more rugged physique than the smooth
terriers and are more easily kept in
trim.

Mr.. Rogers regards this money box
with the jealous eye of a faithful
watchdog. and any overt movement in
its direction. either in or out of busi

less than warlike assault. The picture
