MESSINA SHORES
CUT AWAY BY SEA
SUBSIDENCE OF LAND REEVES
BELIEF CITY DOOMED
TO DESTRUCTION.

The popular tradition that Messina
is doomed to be swallowed by the sea
and disappear ike the land which
united the north coast of Sicily to
Italy and its south coast to Africa re-
eeiyes continuation by strange phe-
nomenon observed recently, says the
ST. Louis Post-Dispatch
Since the great earthquake and It'd
al wave of year ago gradual slow
depression of the land has been no
ticed in several parts of the coast.
Within the past year the land along
the seacoast sank about eighteen
inches. The promenade on the sea
front, which was greatly damaged by
the earthquake and partially washed
away by the tidal wave, has now in a
way been repaired, as it's level has
been raised by heaping rubble and
loose earth on it. Still, several steps
Of the different landing stages on
this promenade originally built above
the water and which remained dry af-
ter the earthquake are now complete
ly under water.
Likewise the tongue of land or pc
ninsula in the shape of a sickle,
which forms a natural breakwater in
the harbor of Messina, is under wa
ter in those portions where no fortifi-
cations and lighthouses exist, and in
rough weather the waves wash over
it from the strait into the harbor. The
Citadel has its meats all flooded, a
proof that the land on which it is
is built has subsidized
A similar proof is afforded along
the railroad between Messina and
Catania, where the sea now laps the
embankment originally built at least
couple of yards inland. Some at,
tempts are being made to remedy the
evil, especially in the harbor where
the rubbish cleared from the streets
OF the ruined city is dumped, but the
subsistence of the soil continues, and
the sea in rough weather washes
away all the loose earth heaped on
the natural breakwater.
The phenomenon is causing alarm
among the surviving inhabitants OF
Messina, who are in a continual state
of panic owing to the daily shocks
of earthquake felt since last Deem
Der, but evidently their alarm is not
shared by those in authority, since il
is settled to rebuild the city on the
same spot.

Although man has known for ages that
certain animals when i'll go to the nearest
nudhole, burrow in the mud until they
Gre covered and there remain until they
have been cured, it was not until COM
raratively recent period that mud-baths
became recognized as of the highest vir-
ue. Then they began to be known in
europe, where the most celebrated of
them have become faVorite resorts be-
cause until recently it was not under
stood that here in America are mud baths
with virtues as marked as any on the
other side Of the Ocean. -'~zse-s -a-"vag"'
In a little valley in the heart of the
HooSer hills nature has provided a COM
bination of healing elements unequalled,
so far as known, in this countrywide
lavia, at Kramer, Indiana
An oak-clad natural amphitheater here

perennially into the little valley inclosed

flowing 5000 barrels day, have for CEN
the rocks on the hillside in exactly the
place where the rivulets thereby created
would flow through the loan deposit and
Saturate it with valuable mineral salts.
More recently a sulpho-saline artesian
we'll has been discovered near the group
at depth of 1000 feet, and gushes forth
q three-inch stream of sparkling white
water containing in mild but effective
proportions the best natural ingredients
for soothing and cleansing the digestive
canal in man.

The greatest empire of the ancient
world, and which shared with the Nile
Valley the distinction of being the

ness of the soil is not the only factor
in the fertility of the land.
Even more than Egypt it was de-
pendent on careful and scientific irri-
CATION, and in the days of the great
sovereigns Of Babylon the canals were
most strictly and jealousy guarded.
But when the ancient empires finally
fell the canals and irrigation works
were neglected and left uncared for,
with the result that in a few years
time the sand of the deserts and the
weeds choked up the waterways,
and the land relasped into desolation.
But the new ministry at CONSTANT
nople has awakened to the Importance
of the matter, and Sir Williams Will
cocks, the famous engineer, who
wrote most valuable monograph on
the Babylonian canals a few years
ago, has been intrusted with tn work.

estimated at a quarter of a million
Turkish pounds, of which G100 900
will be spent in the first year. For
such an absurdly small sum can the
desert be once more turned into fer

ant has already spread out a load of
Steaming hot black mud six inches thick
over the bottom of the cot and you lie
down in this with your head resting ON
a rubber air cushion. From a barrow
filed with fresh mud--the same mud is
never used tWice--moist and steaming hot,
you are covered all over up to the nape
of the neck, until you look like rough
statue done in black plaster, with no
marks of Identification visible but your
head and face. A thin canvas cover Is
thrown over you, and over that a thick
black blanket, and your attendant leaves
you to your own reflections Within
minute you begin to perspire. The sweat
stands out in beads on your forehead and
face, trickles into your eyes, requiring a
professional "Sweat-wiper" to visit you at
frequent intervals to do away with the
excess of moisture. After 80 or 40 min
utes-according to the doctors directions
you are unblanketed, the upper layers
of mud removed, and are told to sit up on
the edge of the cot. As you do so single
look at yourself makes you ask: "Wfll I
