A PETRIFIED SEA
By FRANCIS J. DYER

THE designation ~ Pctriicd Sea" is given
L by a French traveller 10 the Mexican
territory of Quintana Roo, a part Of the
Nucatan peninsula, which is in many re-
~pccts an exceedingly strange and wonderful
region.
This territory, with a coast line Of five
hundred miles and IN area OF twenty-five
thousand square miles, was at one time oc-
cupicd by a people having high state Of
civilization, as the numerous imposing ruins
testify. and later il was a rich field for cX-
ploi,ation by Spaniards.
In "a recent report 10 the Department ol
State hv Consul William W. Canada OF
Vera Cruz, il IS stated that the savage
Navas hold the interior; so that all COM
mcrcal. mining. and other operations are
confined 10 the strip of coast, which Is COM
posed almost wholly Of coral and has been
described as q "pctritlcl sea. II Is also
hkcncd 90 the roof of "a great cavern wherein
are Slltcrrancan waters. Almost anywhere
hole can be casilv dug 10 water, and
through these holes cvcl,ss catfish ar
caught. Many small lakes are fed by sub
tcrr3ncan streams: but. having no outlet.
the coppcr-jmprcgnatcl water is not tt for
use: indeed. sometime cannot be used even
I'm steam boilers.
Practically No soil exists on this coral land,
with lis low unlulations Ike the waves Of
The sea. Sometimes holes are blasted out
with dynamite and in them uch soil as can
De collected Is deposited and little garden
made. There Is such lack Of vegetables,
however. that 10 their absence is largely at
,ributcd the fevers and sickness common To-
the region. Living is extremely high. Ice
