THE ORIGIN OF LAKES.
English GeO1ogist Advances a High
ly Novel Theory.

English GeO1ogist Advances High
ly Novel Theory.
The position Of the earlier geologists,
standing, as they appeared to do, on
the solid foundations of the earth, once
seemed to be impregnable. But recent
discoveries, notably that of radium,
have unsettled many of the older be-
liefs and theories. And now very
eminent geologist has advanced a new
and very interesting theory regarding
the origin of lakes and mountain tarns.
Hitherto glacial action has been ac-
cepted as sufficient explanation of
the existence Of these bodies Of water,
but the Investigations carried on by
Prof. Garwood Of England tend to es-
tablish the probability that in many in
stances the gradual solution of dOlomite
IS the cause. In his recent address be-
fore the Biologists Association at Uni
versity College, London, carefully
prepared model of Lake Ritoon, Val
Plora, near Airolo, on a scale of about
five inches to the mile, gave very
clear illustration of the conditions sup
porting Prof. Garwood's theory, and the
opinion was expressed by those present
that he had made out a good case.
And what Is dolomite? the unscien-
tlfic reader may ask. Dolomite, named
in honor Of the French geologist, Dolo-
mien, Is calcium-magnesium carbonate
that crystallizes in the hexagonal sys-
tenn 1t varies in color from white to
reddish or greenlsh white, and, In some
varieties, even reaches brown and black
Dolomite, both as mineral and a
rock Is found In various parts Of
Europe and the United States. The
crystalliZed varieties include the pearl
spar, which is so called from its luster
The compact varieties are used as
building stone.
The houses of Parliament in London
were built from variety found at Bel
sever Moor, and st. Patrick's Cathedral
New York City, is built from variety
found In Westchester County, N. Y.
Calcined and slaked, dolomite yields
a cement offering considerable resist
ance to the action of water. The same
mineral, when treated with sulphuric
acid, yields calcium and magnesium
sulphates and is used In the manufac-
ture of EPSON salts.

Hamid ragged and stormed and ordered
regiments from Smyrna, Salonlca and
other military posts to advance against
the mutineers and eXterminate them.
The troops refused to move, for they,
too, had become imbued with the prin-
ciples of the Young Turkey party. The
Sultan sent trusted officials to see why
his orders had not been obeyed. They
were promptly shot. At this juncture
Maj. Niazier, commanding the garrison
at Salonica, sent a message to the
Sultan: proclaim a constitution at
once or l will march on Constantinople
at the head Of 100000 men" The Sui
tan sought to temporize, but the time
for that hadpassed. The garrison atSa-

rule had extended over Macedonia the

religious services in every mosque in

When fowls crow at night, which Is
the fact when the number quartered Is
greater than the capacity Of the house,
they sweat. This sweating causes the
feathers to rot at the base, giving them
the very appearance Of moting. This
explains why so many tiocks look
ragged In early summer.
1t Is a noted fact that the majority
Of cases where roup has become epi-
demlc among fowls the latter were
crowded in tightly-built houses when
the weather Is very cold and allowing
the houses to remain closed all the next

Tet between this poverty and the
economy" Of the small-salaried en-
ploye who is compelled to adjust his
earnings to the demands of his occupa-

in New York by the cost, rather than

er the operator seizes the animals leg
with the jaws Of the instrument and
pulls the rope, which closes the jaws

that the pursuer need not continually
