GEORGIA REGISTERS
STRONG PROTEST

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.--The re-
ceipt by congress of protest from
the legislature OF Georgia against the
method In which the resolution for the
direct election of senators was passed
foreshadows another lengthy fight on
the question which may delay the
realizing Of the reform indefinitely.
The legislature OF Georgia not only
represents that 1t cannot consent to
receive or act on the proposed amend
ment to the constitution, but 1t calls
on the senator's and representatives of
the State to take II UP with congress-.
and asks the governors of other States
to lay 1t before their legislatures In
the hope that they will join In the
stand taken by Georgia
The protest Of Georgia is based on
the ground that the resolution did not
receive a two-third vote Of both houses

SECRET OF THE OASIS.

The opening of railway cOmmuniCa- tion from a point near Luxor ino the Libyan desert has rendered easy of ac- cses the celebrated oasis of Khargen, long regarded as a typical example of these isolated centers of life.
 For some time past certain scientists have, while actually residing there been studying the phenomena of springs, moving sands, wells, and Sc forth. It appears from their investi- gatiOns that the Libyan oases are deer Impressions in lofty plateau that has a maximum elevation of nearly 2,00( feet. but that the bottom Of the oases are only from 100 to 300 feet above sea level. They are underlaid by beds ot sandstone, which are the sources o1 the water supply.
