SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 90
Easter Island, the riddle of the Pa
cific! Situated 1000 miles from the
nearest continent, rock bound and
stormswept. this small desolate island,
the farthest outpost Of the Polynesian
group, has earned the title OF THE
Mystery Of the Pacihc."s
This sphinx Of the oceans and
its nearly extinct inhabitants have
proven a battling problem to scientists
and explorers of modern times. II is
said by some to be the remains Of
a submerged continent and declared
by others only to have been inhab-
tied by an advanced race of natives
The Easter Islanders were the only
natives of the Pacific islands who had
developed the art of writing Their
inscriptions are on wooden tablets
and bear remarkable resemblance to
ancient Babylonian. These hero
glyphics have never been deCipher-
ed.
This mysterious people was a race
of idol worshipers and had mastered
to some degree the art Of sculpture
and masonry.
On the island. which is about 50
square miles in extent. are immense
platforms facing the sea, formed of
large stones fitted together some Of
which weigh five tons, and in places
the sea side of the walls are 30 feet
high and over 200 feet long. On these
platforms stand colossal figures Carv-
ed out Of lava from an extinct crater

Farmers Fruit To
Run Their Machinery
Scientist Tells Them to Make
Denatured Alcohol and Use It
as Motive Power.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 20.-Farmers
should get the motive power to run
the engines on their farm machinery
from denatured alcohol made from
inferior apples, Joseph NJ. Anglada, OF
New York. said in an address here.
This is the solution of the problem
for supplying power on the farm" hs
said. Farmers should establish CO.
operative alcohol plants There are
barrels of apples which go to waste
on the farm. The farmers of each
neighborhood in which apples are
produced should gather up these ap-
pies and take them to a cooperative
mill and denatured alcohol could be
made in large quantities.
The motive power furnished by
alcohol is more desirable than that
from any other source"
