Dahmer heated chalky pulp from

the crust Of the pulp, small pieces
of which flew upwards, and at the
spot of each burst was formed rihs

ment that the ring mountains OF the

our world grows cooler and becoming
less and less elastic, which suggests
that enc day, when the crust can

London, England.-The Royal ge-

kings gold medal to DR. Hamilton
Rice OF Boston, Mass. for his work OF
exploration in South America.
DR.. Rice started from London IN
December. 1911. for Barranquilla. at
the month of Magdalena river. and 20
days later reached BOgota. capital oil
Colombia. From that city he started
for San Martin, 100 miles south Of 80
gotta. For q months he explored
southeast Colombia and northwest
Brazil. traversing almost 100000
square miles of virtually unknown
country. The trip ended at Manaos,
Brazil, 1000 miles up the Amazon
river.
DR.. Rice said afterward that the rec
ord of the party was one Of physical
horrors. Insects made existence hor'
rible, there were periods of starva'
ton and consequent mutiny and con
slant prevalence of disease.
A race of light colored Indians was
! discovered. as was also a colony com
posed entirely of male Indians. Fol
! the most part, however, the region eX
| plored was uninhabited
! Progress through the country wa:
extremely difficult, and machete'
were necessary to cut track almos
the entire way. In being forced t
swim small streams the members o
the party were attacked by dangerou
sword fishes, which inflicted ugly seq
tic wounds From the result OF on
of these attacks Dr Rice suffered iron
poisonous ulcers and was compelled I
operate upon himself by candle hgh'
cutting his leg to the bone. During
period of starvation the party was re
duced to eating monkey meat.

this to do with the moon? We kno"
that the attraction of the moon con
trolls the tides of the waters OF the

broke through the assures, rose up
and then flowed back again; and so
on for long periods until there were
formed the ring mountains. Such Is
the theory of Ebert, and very plaus-
ible it is.
The well-known English astrono-
mers. Nasmyth and Carpenter, tried
to prove years ago that the lunar

crater from which they were project
ed. In the case of the volcanoes OF
the earth, say these English scientists
the matter thrown out was not cast
in such wide circles. because on the
earth bodies are six times as heavy as
they are on the moon with its much
smaller power of attraction. TINS
theory. too. has its numerous faults.
Thus it must be admitted that we are
still far from solving the mystery OF
the ring mountains of the moon.
