year-and 60 after it in the true Atlanta way!
President Light assured the gathering that the Congress will

be made between Atlanta and New Orleans The latter city
is bidding most heartily for the Congress.
There will be in attendance upon the meeting about
thousand delegates and visitors They will parts

the very flower of American citizenship
Manesty therefore this Congress the thing Atlanta
looking for and will but add to the already fine list of

There matter moreover TO the heart and the
material interest Of the South than the matter of good roads
And this Congress stands for the last word in good roads

tn HE missing continent Of At
lantis, whose extraordi-
nary story as told by the
Greek philosopher, Plato, is at
once fascinating romance and
the greatest of geographical inys-
teries, has again become the sub
Ject OF learned discussion.
Was there or was there NOT
formerly a continent in the midst
or the Atlantic Ocean? If II sank
suddenly under the waves, with
all its splendid cities, as the tradi-
tions gathered by Plato declared.
are any traces of It now TO be
found on the bottom of the sea ?
In the light of modern science is
1t possible to admit that cats.-
trophe OF such unexampled mag
nitude as the swallowing up of a
whole continent could occur?
These are some of the questions
reawakened by the investigation
OF the subject which M. J.. Ger
main has recently published in the
"Annales de Geographic"
The clue to the mystery that NJ.
German follows is that which is
furnished by the existence of the
island groups Of the Canaries, the
Madeiras, Cape de Verde and
the Azores. These islands lie in
deep water near the place where
Plato said Atlantis existed. AL
though they are widely separated
they possess plants and animals of
tho same species, and these spe-
Giles are similar to those found IN
Southwestern Europe and North
ern Africa, but entirely different
from those Of Equatorial Africa
This fact is regarded as indi-
eating that the islands in question
once formed part of a continuous
continent, which was either di-
rectly connected with Southern
Europe and Northern Africa by a
bridge of land, or lay so close to
them that animals and plants
could easily cross over the inter
vening strip OF sea.
Moreover, there are living In
these islands species of plants and
animals which once existed, but
now exist no longer. in Europe.
where their remains are to be
found in deposits of the Tertiary
Age. The explanation would seem
to be that these plants and ami
mails lived contemporaneously In
Europe and the continent OF At
lantis during Tertiary times, but
have since become extinct in Eu-
rope, although they continue to
exist on the islands which are the
only visible remains of Atlantis.
But there is another curious
fact to be considered. The living
species inhabiting these mysteri-
those of Southern Europe and \
Northern Africa, but also those of
the West India Islands and Cen
trail America. This suggests that
the continent OF Atlantis eS-
tended completely across the
ocean and was connected with
America on the west.
Atlantis, then, was as closely
associated with the New World as
with the Old and formed a means

of communication between them.
Here, perhaps, Is the explanation
of the singular resemblances ~
the arts and ideas OF the vanished
people who built the ruined c,t,s,
of Central America and those ~
the ancient inhabitants around
the shores OF the Mediterranean
Sea and in the land OF the Nh.
Atlantis was a kind of common
ground, or meeting place, for the
predecessors of these various nso-
pies.
The science of geology does not
forbid us to think that continent
might sink.
The ups and downs Of tn.
earth's crust have been MANY IN
the course Of the geological ages
and one Of the greatest authorl-
ties Of the present day, the Ger
man professor, Suess, has de.
clared in advance that he sees, n,
reason why parts of the ocean or
even the dry land, may not to-
morrow sink to form new depth.
Suess even thinks that Greenland
may be one of the remnants Of an
ancient continent which occuniea
large part of the Atlantic basin
and which could have been no
other than that tabled land of A.
lantis. echoes OF whose vanished
glories were yet vibrating in hui
man tradition in the DAYS Of
Plato.
These things carry the imae'-
native mind to the DEPTHS of ,p.'
sea and call up pictures OF the
marvels that might be discovered
there If the ocean could be dried ,
up, or If a means could be found
for exploring its profunditia~ IN
submarine vessels as perfect as
that which Jules Verne's Captain
Memo constructed.
They also summon up an awful
vision OF the unparalleled calam-
ity that put an end 10 the life OF
an entire continent. Not only pa
latial cities vast cultivated lands.

and roaring ocean closed over

wholesale the sons of men be-
