STRANGE CRATER IN ARIZONA
Geolouists Have offered Several The.
cries to Account for This Singular
Phenomenon.

About forty miles from Flagstaff.
Ariz.. in the midst of a great plain,
there is a saucer-shaped hollow about
three-quarters of mile across and
600 feet deep. The rim of this strange
crater rises between $50 and 200 feet
above the surrounding plain. Rocky
fragments are scattered for several
miles around the crater. Among these
rocks many fragments of meteoric
iron, some containing minute black
diamonds, have been found. The in
ner walls show that the crust of the
earth was broken when the crater was
formed; yet no volcanic rocks exist
there Biologists have offered several
theories to account for this singular
phenomenon. One is that an immense
meteorite made the hole, and that the
meteoric fragments just mentioned are
remnants of the falling star. Another
theory ascribes the origin of the era
ter to a tremendous explosion OF steam
in the rocks beneath, and a third com
bines the first two by suggesting that
the blow Of falling meteor, striking
the earth's crust at a point where
subteIrarean water had accumulated
in the ncighborhood Of heated rocks
was the cause Of the explosion.

OLD HOMES ARE GOING FAST
"Before the War" Mansions of the
South, With Their Romance,
Are Disappearing.

The grand old before the war"
homes, STEPPED in romance and dear
to the heart Of the children of the old
south, are fast going. Set in a grove
Of oaks, the big house with its impos'
ing columns, ample verandas and its
air of hospitality and cheer, soon Will
be no more. Some of these old man
sions have fallen into wreck and
ruin; hundreds have been burned.
The surviving ones are relics OF an
age that is past.
For several years there has been
movement in the south for smaller
farms. This movement has been con-
stantly accelerated. And it means
much for the welfare of this section,
The old plantations were manageable
only when labor could be relied upon
and when one person was willing to
pass his life in the employment OF
another.
The south is becoming more utili'
tartan. Descendants of those caval
iers who charged with Rupert and
melted their plate to support the tot
tering throne of an unworthy Stuart
have scanned their lessons well. Life
is activity, hurry and turmoil. 1t
still would be an elysian existence
forever to loiter in the shade and yell
to Pompey for another julep-but it
is no longer practicable.
This month will see two of the fine
old plantation homes of Barbour
county go under the hammer. His
toric Roseland and the splendid Pugh
estate alike are to be sold. Some OF
these days when the south gets enor'
mously wealthy again the grand old
times may be Observation-Disclosures

THE COMMERCIAL WILL SOON
MOVE INTO NEW QUARTERS
Has Leased Commodious Build
ing at Corner Of College and
Sixth Streets

The Commercial has leased
the commodious building at the
corner of College and Sixth
streets, and after the first OF
September will have its office
therein.
The building will be remodeled
and improved to meet the re-
quirements of the paper. A coat.
ing of cement will give the
exterior of the structure most
imposing appearance and there
will be other improvements af.
fording comforts and con-
veniences for the employees.
Light is one of the prime re.
quisities in any well regulated
printing office, and arrangements
have been made to food the
building with sunshine by re-
placing the old wooden doors
with glass ones and by cutting
a number of windows in the
west wall of the building.
After having moved into its
new quarters the Commercial
will not only be better equipped
for getting out good paper, but
will be better prepared to get
out high grade job printing in a
more expeditions manner than
heretofore, and we hope to re-
ceiye a more liberal patronage.
