WORK OF VOLCANO
EXPLANATION OF DESTRUCTION
OF soDoM AND GoMoRRAH.
Scientist Satisfied He Has Discovered
Agent by Which the Two Wicked
Cities Were Wiped from
the Earth

Ellsworth Huntington, head of the
recent Yale expedition to Palestine,
declares that he has verified the Bible
story of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Hundreds of pages" he says in
Harper's Magazine, have been writ
ten to prove that the story is a
myth, or that the ancient towns were
destroyed by the bursting forth Of
oil wells like those of Texas or Baku,
which sometimes are ignited and
burn for days. Other hundreds of
pages have been devoted to proving
that Sodom and Gomorrah were or
were not at the north end of the Dead
sea, and that they were or were not
buried under the saline deposits at
either end of the lake.
Among recent writer's there seems
to be tendency to believe that
Sodom and it's sister town were prob
ably located at the south end of the
lake, where the name Usdom is
thought to represent Sodom, and
where Arab tradition now locates the
Inflated cities The means of their
destruction are believed to have been
| the oil wells mentioned above. This
rather unsatisfactory conclusion has
been adopted largely because 1t has
| been supposed that no volcano Is To-
| Gated in such position that it could
have borne any part in the story.
According to the story in Genesis.
Lot and Abraham were at Bethel, ten
miles north of Jerusalem, when their
| herdsmen quarreled and they decided
| to separate. And Lot lifted up his
eyes, and beheld all the Plain of the
Jordan, that It was well watered
everywhere, before Jehovah destroyed
Sodom and G,,morrah like the garden
of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt.
as thou goest unto Zoar. So Lot chose
him all the pain of Jordan
Then the story goes on to the time
when Jehovah rained upon Sodom
and upon Goporrah birthstone and fire
from Jehovah out of heaven while
Lot fed to che near town of Zoar.
He did not stuy long. but went out OF
Zoar and dwAlt in the mountain-in a
cave
1 Having freshly read the story and
having looked over the strong argu
ments for locating the towns south
of the Dead sea and for believing
them to have been destroyed by some
thing in the nature of bituminous out
bursts, was taken by surprise when
visited the little ruins of Suweimeh
and picked up bits of genuine scoriace
GUS lava. while the sheikh who acted
as guide told the story of Sodom as
the story of Suweimeh of Suweim
The name may be corruption Of
Sodom
II went into the mountains at once
from Suweim in order to see where
the lava came from. AS we climbed
the lower hills the sheikh noticed
tnat picked up black pieces of lava
and broke them open.
Don't bother with those he said
UP here pointing southeast, there is
whole mountain of black rock like
that"

SPANISH CLIMATE IN WINTER
Many cities and Localities That Are
Famed Throughout the World as
Health Resorts.

The most agreeable winter climate
in Spain and probably in Europe is
that of Malaga, which has mean
winter temperature of 55 degrees
Fahrenheit. The climate is extremely
beneficial to sufferers from rheuma-
tism, but it is not at all recommended
in highly nervous cases.
There are at times unpleasant winds
but extremely little rain during the
winter months. Though healthy
place, the sanitation of the town is
not good, but the unsanitary effects
are to large extent neutralized by
the dry climate, by the sea air and
by the abundant and excellent water
supply.
Ronda is nearly 5000 feet above the
sea and has a bracing climate-too
bracing, in fact for winter. Algeciras
is probably the most successful win
ter station in Spain, and since the
conference which was held there a
few years ago it's hotels have been
full Of visitors during the greater part
of late winter and spring. Being
within easy reach OF Gibraltar, the
place is by no means dull.
There are tennis courts, a golf
course, polo ground Eat Campamento),
and most of the meets of the Calpe
Hounds are as conveniently reached
from Algeciras as from Gibraltar.
Yachting, boating and sea fishing may
be freely INDUCED in and driving ex-
cursions may be made in the direction
of Tarifa and Cadiz. More distant ex.
,cursions include those to Tangier,
Granada, Seville and Malaga. Madrid
is too cold for January. 1t is at an
altitude of 2,4OO feet Seville is better
in March and April than in January.

Craftsmanship they have crouch against
the Speaker. If they fail to secure the
immediate passage of some bill in which
they have personal interest, but which
is of no public interest or Importance,
they lay that up against the Speaker,
although the bill may have been pigeon
holed by the committee to which it was
referred. The rules, which were made
for the proper control of legislative
body Of four hundred members, have
perhaps incurred the condemnation of
some newly-fedged Congressman, who
then chooses to consider it a personal
matter between the Speaker and himself,
while really he only represents the fly on
the wheel of a coach. Then, of course,
the Democratic press goes industriously
to work to fan the flames and make the
most of these petty feuds, and the result
is that gross injustice is done to one
who has served his constituency and his
