NATURE AS AN EQUILIBRlST
The Destruction Of One of the Most Remarkable Fs Balancing BY Thoss Tourists
BY GARRETT P. SERvIss.

n GREAT natural curiosity has
~ lately been destroyed at Tan
dill, in the province Of Buenos
Ayres, Argentina 1t was q bal
anced stone, celebrated under the
name of the Rock of Tandil. which
nature, in one of her freaks, had
poised exactly upon the brow of q
precipice. There it had remained
for untold centuries. the wonder Of
the surrounding country, and the
pride Of the inhabitants of the To-
cality Its name, in geographical
and geological publications. had be-
come famous all over the world.
The photographs herewith show the
rock as It formerly was, and the
appearance OF the place now that
the stone has tumbled into the
abyss beneath it.
This remarkable boulder Of gran
lite weighed 270 tons, and although
1t was poised 50 deIcately on the
brow OF the precipice that the pres
sure Of the hand made it oscillate,
1t is said that the Dictator Rosas
once tried IN vain to dislodge it
with the aid OF the united strength

Ice Age Trade Mark.


1t is believed that it's fall was
brought about through the wearing
away Of the granite brow by the
action Of the dust and fragments
OF bottles which visitors were con
tinually throwing under the stone
in order to see them ground up
when it was set into motion Their
thoughtless amusement has result
ed in the loss OF one Of the great
est curiosities Of the kind that the
world possessed
Balancing stones occur in all
countries which have been subject
ed to glacial action; that Is. where
great bodies Of Ice, in some former
age Of cold, have been slowly forced
over the face Of the land. moving
down from The nearest mountains
and carrying with them whatever
movable objects they encountered.
But there are very few cases in
which the rocks are OF so great
weight 50 remarkable in form and
poised in so singular a place and
manner as happened with the Rock
Of Tandil In some countries ii
would have been carefully protect
ed 10y law, as IS now done with nat
ural curiosities OF all kinds in Ger
many, and to a large extent in Eng
land
These strange stones are surviv-
ing Witnesses OF some of the most
remarkable chapters in the geo.
logical history of the earth. AS
have said, they are almost invaria-
bly, reminders Of the glacial ages.
It is customary to speak of the
age of glaciers" as If there had been
but one. In fact, there is reason to
believe that number OF successive
glacial ages have passed over the
earth since it has been, so far as
its general surface is concerned, in
practically it's present condition.
The Causes.
Not once, but several times in
succession, the ice has advanced In
North America, driving life before
it toward the south. Many thou
sands of years have elapsed be-
tween the invasions of the ice, and
genial periods have INTERVIEWED dur
ing which the ice has retired, and
vegetation and animal life have re-
possessed themselves Of the terri
tory from which they had been
driven
There are astronomical causes
operating TO bring about these enor-
nous changes OF climate. and they
have not ceased; there will be more
glacial ages in the future. 1t is
known that in about ten or eleven
thousand years from now the Win
ter Of the northern hemispheres
will occur, not, as at present, when
the earth is at the point in it's Or
bit which is nearest to the sun. but
when 1t is at the opposite point,
100000 miles farther from the sun.
This IN itself will suffice to cause
decided lowering Of the winter

You Ought To Be Able

1t has been figured out that the
average family should save some
thing like Nine Dollars a year on

anniversary of free. sugar.
WHETHER YOU HAVE THE
NINE DOLLARS ON HAND

er way. Just note if you can real
Iy find the Three Dollars and Fifty
Cents in the pockets of the new
suit few months after YOU have
begun to wear it.
One of the loudest slogans Of
this campaign is the Square Deal.
Well, just watch your deals. See
if they are any squarer than thew
have been.
And so on. Pull all the promises
out of the party platform. Take
them home and spread them on the

Perhaps You and Your
Wife Can Find That $3.50.

Let you and your wife be rulers
over a kingdom in which the de-
partments are run on sane. solid
basis, and you will be able to To-
cate that Twelve Dollars and Fifty
Cents. In fact, you may be able to
find it even if sugar and clothing
remain at their present prices.
Don't spend your days in singing

you for an animated slot machine

Voter

THlS will be land of wonder
i full promises until next No
vember After that things
will rumble along, like echoing
thunder, until March 4, 1913. Then
we shall be off for another four
years of something or other that
will get into school histories later
on.
Meanwhile, if you want to be
convinced who makes prosperity for
you-whether the government
makes it or whether you make 1t
yOurself-all you need to do is to
keep list of party promises that
will be made until the next inaugu-
ration. Then, as the days go by for
the next four years, check them off
as they come true. This may be a
little trouble, but you need to do it
only once in a lifetime.
This will not be hard to do, for
each party will make its promises,
each will give assurance to you as a
voter what a benefit it will be to
YOU to- help elect one man or the
other. And you will, Of course,
help as you think best.
But watch the results.
1t is inevitable that one candidate
will be elected; that one party will
have a majority over the other in
congress. Then watch, as a matter
of interest and education, what
they all do 'with the party prom
ises, and watch particularly how
you are affected.

See If You Can Find
Trace of the Two Items.

But do not let the checkup stop
here.
If there are Nine Dollars to your
credit on the sugar schedule and
Three Dollars and Fifty Cents on
the suit, see if you can flnd a trace
of the Twelve Dollars and Fifty
Cents anywhere around the house.
The government has been prom
Using you, through its political par
ties, that things will be easier.
Now, there are scores of men in
public office who make promises
that are as sacred to them as the
most solemn oath they could take.
They mean all they promise, and
they try with all their strength to
make good.
And still you do not locate that
Twelve Dollars and Fifty Cents.
Why?
Your treasury department is out
of order. Not the United States
treasury department, but your own.
The finest set of statesmen that
were ever born can neither fill your
pocketbook nor control it. The
voter who expects it virtually be-
lieves that a handful of lawmakers
can put one hundred millions OF
citizens on Easy street,
The best they can do is to pave
Easy street, but they can not put
your feet on 1t. Government is a
great and wonderful thing, but the
fortune and the maker of it are
not at Washington, D. c. They are
at your fireside. Look around and
see what you control: A family,
job, a reputation, the qualities Of
industry, honor, perseverance and
self denial.

Loves Supremacy
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

Copyright 1912, by American Journal Examiner
u yon great sun in his supreme condition
Absorbs small worlds and makes them all his own
So does my love absorb each vain ambition.
Each outside purpose which my life has known
Stars can not shine that vast orbed spendor:
They content to feed his flames of fire.:
And my heart is satisfied to render
Its strength, its ALL to meet thy strong desire
AS in forest when dead leaves are falling
From all save some perennial green tree
SO one by one find all pleasure palling
That are not linked with or enjoyed by thee
AnS all the homage that the world may profer
| take as perfumed oils or incense sweet
And think of it as thing more to offer
And sacrifice to Love at thy dear feet
| love myself because thou art my lover
My name seems dear since uttered by thv voice
Yet arguS-eyed, watch and would discover
Each bemiSh in the object of thy choice
/ coldy sit in judgment on each error:
To my souls gaze hold each fault of me
Until my pride is lost in abject terror
Lest become inadequate to thee
Like some swift-rushing and seaseeking river,
Which gathers force the farther on II goes
So does the current of my love forever
Find added strength and beauty as it flows
The more | give, the more remains for giving:
The more receive. the remains to win
All only in eenities of living 3 .
