Did Moon Come Out Of Pacific.


From the National Geographical Magazine.
AS to the origin of the Pacific ocean
bed, the greatest depression on the globe.
many ingenious theories have been adj
vanced. and among these the two follow
ing are interesting:
The first hypothesis suggests that the
Pacific area was formerly. occupied by a
land mass which has subsided below the
SEA level, probably by volcanic agency.
The volcanic system extending round the
Pacific littoral Of Asia and America lends
considerable color to the theory and would
represent the edge Of the sunken plain.
At this point OF fracture the subjacent
molten contents Of the earth have found
vent and thus by dispersal have built up
the coast mountain chains. If this be
true, the present island groups of the Pa
cific would represent the submits Of for
nner mountain systems.
the present archipelagoes. evidences are
not lacking that they have at some time
been connected with other land masses.
The absence Of mammals Of any import
ance. however, would suggest this period
to be SO remote that the severance oc-
CURED before the evolution Of these crea-
lures. The land mollusks. whose nearest
afinities must be sought in geologic fos-
sils. also point to the islands as having
been isolated in the remote past.
The second geological theory of the Pa
cific which has claimed credence is that
the land mass which formerly occupied
its depression was. in the age before the
solidhiication of the globe was too far ad-
vanced. whirled OF by centrifugal force
and now composes our satellite the moon
A comparison Of the shores Of west Amer
lea and east Asia with other evidence
suggests some truth to this remarkable
theory. for the coast lines will be seen
to bear the same relation to one another
as that possessed by the indentures Of a
legal document.

versed with friends or relatives because.
it is reported. he was Tilted by girl

several years he lived near Kansas City.
but finally returned to his mother, near
Middletown.
The flame had not died. but he was
far different Ben Lands than the one
who went away few years before. Rel
atives declare that he became queer
while in the west" but neighbors and
friends say lit was the girl" II was at
this time in his life that he took the VOW
never again to speak to any one, and he
has lived up to his resolution unfiinch-

Today the girl whom Lands wooed is
widow, her husband having been killed on
railroad sixteen years ago. She lives

Get One Which Is Smooth Inside the
Bowl, Says Smoker.
From the New York Sun


A collegian who prides himself on the
sweetness and color of his briarwood pipes
and pretends to know a lot more about
them than any ordinary smoker, spent
half an hour in a tobacco shop q few
afternoons ago making an addition to his
already large collection.
Some pipes he discarded because OF the
grain of the wood: there was too much
stripe or too much birdseye. he remarked.
When he found one which suited him he
put il aside until he had gathered three
or four which apparently were all right.
and then came his final test TO pick out
the best of them all.
He held each with the bowl toward the
light. then slowly rubbed his LITTLE finger
inside. Two he discarded. then repeated
the operation with the others until only
one remained out of the discard. That
one he bought.
Want 'em smooth inside" he explained
"A briar pipe roughly finished inside the
bowl isn't worth bothering with. 1 would
not take one for a gift; wouldn't take the
trouble to try to break IL in. for IL will
never he any good. Ii won't cake up right
and it'll never be nice and sweet.
1--WE got q theory that when the inside
of the bowl is rough all the little edges
and points of the wood char and burn
the first time you smoke it, and burnt
pipe is no good. That's why j always take
a pipe that has a bowl smooth on the
inside on the out
Then il doesn't char but cakes up even
~ and gets good in a little time. Maybe
the theory is wrong. but it has worked out

CORONER NEWT COMMENTS ON

Stopcocks Close Together.

As q result Of the accidental asphyxia-
ton of Alton Purtell. a private of the
Marine Corps, at 1908 H street. yesterday.
Coroner hewitt has called attention to the
necessity for some police regulation pro-
hibiting the placing of two gas stopcocks
close together.
In the room Of the young marine two
stopcocks were within a few inches Of
each other. one opening gas to burner,
the other allowing it to flow to stove.
In the opinion Of the coroner. Purtell ac-
cidentally opened the stopcock leading to
the stove when he turned off the gas to
the burner just before retiring. The
young man went to sleep without noticing
the escaping gas and he never awoke.

death was due to the opening Of one

NEW BRIDGE IN 81 MINUTES.
Record Breaking Feat by B. and O.
Engineers.

From the Baltimore Sun
An object lesson in the evolution of rail-
road bridge replacement was given yes
terday morning on the Philadelphia divis-
ion of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
when the old bridge across Chester creek
was pulled out and new double-track
steel bridge $50 feet long was slid into
position In just three and a half minutes
without a hitch. breaking the time record
on this system and believed to be the
quickest work of the kind ever done any
where. There was no interruption to
trafflc.
The new bridge weighs about 300 tons
and was built complete alongside the old
one by the Pittsburg Construction Com
pany Of steel furnished by the American
Bridge Company. Messrs. D. D. Caroth-
ers. chief engineer: w. 8. Bouton. engi-
neer Of bridges and buildings: A. w.

remarkable feat was witnessed by Mr.. III.

There has been a pest Of cells along the

There seemed to be no way of

when 1t was we'll covered several thou

DEATH TO WEEDS.
Way Of Clearing Out Squirrel-Tail
Grass, Horse Nettle and Mustard.

Way OF Clearing Out Squtrrel-Ta1l
Grass, Horse Nettle and Mustard.
From the Literary Digest.
Weeds growing along country roads
may do much damage. for the weeds of
farms are caused in part by roadside
weeds that have been allowed to go to
seed. Many states have laws dealing with
the determination Of weeds along the
roadside. and the manual Of the Iowa
highway commission gives methods for
destroying various weeds. In that state
rag weeds and thistles are common. and
the squirrel-tail grass is becoming very
abundant. Says q writer in Engineering
Contracting:
1.-THE squirrel-tail grass is an annual or
winter annual, appearing abundantly In
the fall. To prevent its seeding in the
meadow, grass should be cut early. In
this way blue grass will have a chance to
grow and II will not be necessary to plow
up the roadside II the grass is cut In this
way for q few years.
THE mustards may be exterminated by
treatment with copper-sulfate solution.
This il made by the use Of one pound Of

fifty gallons should be used to the acre.
1.-THE horse nettle as we'll as the thistles
are perennials. and hence 1t Is more dim

method for determination of the Canada
thistle may be applied to this class OF
weeds:

This is probably the most effective and
least expensive method of removing this
plant. For this purpose clover Is the most
suitable plant. The soil should be har-
rowed or cultivated frequently until the
time Of seeding. which may be any time
during May and June Planting to corn
or oats is a method also used in destroy
ing the horse nettle. The plant should be
kept down before seeding time. The re-
moval of the nettle when In well al.

being to kill the plant by shock. This
method is simply an effective means OF
