EXPLORATIONS OF PIKE.

they Had Political Consequences
Not FOreseen in That Time.
General Zebulon Pixies explorations
Of 1SO6-1SO7 had political consequences
which neither Pike nor anybody else
In his day could foresee, says the Re-
view OF Reviews. Although he was
well treated by the Spaniards, his cap
ture by them intensified the desire Of
Americans, especially in the west, to
drive Spain out Of Mexico. Written
In 1903 and published in 1910, his re-
port pointed out the wealth of Next
co.'s natural resources, showed the
weakness of Spain's hold on thar coun-
try, and urged her expulsion by an
American army if Bonaparte should
seize the Spanish throne, which Bona
parte did while Pike was writing, and
held 1t for six years.
Pixies report sent Magee, Kemper,
Long, and other adventures from our
side of the line over into Texas and
other parts Of Mexico. More import
ant still, it melted Moses Austin to get
from Ferdinand Wis representatives
In 1920 permission to establish colo
ny Of Americans In Texas, which his
son, Stephen F. Austin, planted there
In 1922. When the Mexicans soon aft
erward drove Spain out the inevitable
race conflict with the Americans be-
gan, which eliminated in Sam Hous-
tons victory over Santa Anna at San
Jacinto in 1886, and the establishment
of the Texas republic.
By the annexation Of Texas in 1916
the United States inherited Texas
boundary dispute with Mexico, and
this led to the war of 1S46-1S4S, which,
through conquest and purchase, placed
the stars and stripes over the present
New Mexico. Arizona Except that
part below the ella, which Gadsden
bought in 1859, California, Nevada.
Utah, and parts of Colorado and Wyo-
ming, and pushed our territory in the
southwest onward to the Pacific. While
the American and Mexican commits
sioners were fixing up their peace pact
at Guadalupe Hidalgo in the opening
days Of 184S, James w. Marshall made
his gold discovery in the raceway of
Suffers mill, on the American fork of
the Sacramento, which made Califor-
MIA knock for admission as state be-
fore the politicians had time to organ
lie it as territory, melted the search
which led to the gold and silver strikes
In other parts Of the West. and swung

AUTOS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Used for Government Transportation

To Banguio in an automobile! That
is the latest. The autos have been
cabled for, and travellers for the
mountains can have ride from
Dagupan to the summer capital, bag

In the near future.
Charles Jenkins, the hustling hotel
proprietor of Dagupan and Baguio,
who holds the contract for govern
ment transportation between those
points, expects to have the machines
on the road as soon as possible.
Swinging suspension wire bridges
have been constructed across the
rivers, and in a few months more the
trip to the hill country over the Ben
guet road will be pleasure.
1t is expected that within another
year a railroad line will be completed
between Dagupan and Camp One, at
the entrance of the canyon, which will
enable travellers from Manila to
reach the hills in much less time than
at present. With the completion Of
the railroad the automobiles will be
placed on the road between Camp One
and Baguio, a distance Of about 81
miles.-Manila Times.

MEXICAN THREADS ON THE WATER
Cornell Student lnVents Shoes and
Introduces Aquatic Lacrosse.

Ithaca, N. Y.-Jose Antonio Ostos, a
Mexican student in Cornell university,
has walked on the water of Cayugoa
lake. He wore pair of water shoes
which he recently designed in the de-
partment of mechanical engineering.
He shot about over the water in every
direction with little apparent effort.
The shoes are constructed of tin,
with four air chambers in each, and a
separate compartment for the foot.
They are five feet three inches long,
IA inches wide and nearly ten inches
deep. Collapsible fans prevent them
from slipping backward. A large
crowd witnessed the test. Ostos is a
prominent athlete in the university,
rowing in the freshman crew at
Poughkeepsie in 1903 His chief OBJ
ject in having the shoes made Is to
start a new form of water sport at
Cornell, sort of water lacrosse. He
hopes to introduce the game in other
universities If it proves success
here.

HoIdlna Down Natures Eorces.

Less than FIVE hundred feet be-
meath the surface of the earth at
Punta Gorda there is power Of force
capable of lifting a column of water
eight inches in diameter to height OF
II feet above the surface.
AS this prodigious subterranean
force has been stored beneath the
surface for 1000 years or more and
has never in all that time burst forth
to overwhelm the land there is not
the slightest danger that 1t will do SO
at this late date, especially as we are
continually piling tons of weight on
top of it to help hold it down. More
than a thousand people and several
hundred buildings, to say nothing OF
as many cattle and dogs, have been
added to the surface weight since this
immense power was first stored in the

College Students as Thinkers.

It is important for college teachers
to promote the pursuit on the part OF
their students of such subjects as in
their inherent character demand think
ing, and also to promote such pur-
suit of these subjects as does promote
thinking. Mathematics Is a subject
which demands thinking. 1t is think
ing; it is nothing else. History may
be presented as matter Of acQuisi-
ton; 1t also may be presented as a
matter Of weighing evidence as a
study of cause and eject. Economics
is a subject which specially offers OPP
portunities for such study as develops
thinking. Its phenomena are complex
and the causes which prevail in its
field are often obscure. These studies
and similar ones offer special ad
vantage in creating and nourishing the
power Of thinking-North American
