the evidences of the rising sea during the last century. Briefly, the evi- dences are these:
 l. The persistent tradition of the Arabs, confirmed by the record ot travellers (Seitzen, 1906, and Irby and Mangles, 1818), that there was ford across near the lower end of the sea about 100 years ago.
 2. Reliable account (de Saulcy, 1S50) that there was at that time peninsula near the upper end of the sea, which according to travel CTS became an island I myself saw this island twenty-one years ago, and Jerusalem friend of mine assured me in 1912 that he had been one of picnic party on it fifteen years be fore. Now it is under some four or five feet of water
 3. The abundant testimony of those now living, of the time when there was beach and a passageway along the foot of Jebel Usdum on the east side of the sea, though the foot of the mountain is now constantly washed by the waves; and also, that the stumps and other remains of large trees may now be seen under the water around the shores of the sea.
 All these things, now well estab lished, point to the fact that there was once time when the water ex- tended but little, if at all, beyond the Lisan or tongue of land which projects from the eastern shore part ly across the sea near the southern end, and that there was once a con- siderable plain ("the Plain"?) to the south of Lisan. There, probably, un der the waters of the sea today, is the site of the ruined cities of "the Plain, Sodom and Gomorrah.- School Times

RAILROAD TRAINS
 EXPOSITION BLDGS.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.-A sight that never fails to amaze wis itors to the Panama-Pacific Interna- tional Exposition grounds is that a train of freight cars speeding out of a nea4tly finished, exhibit palace. While all the entrances are large enough to admit locomotives and cars, the proportions of the immense buildings are such that the specta- tor does not realize this. Spurs of the exposition terminal railway sys- tenn enter all the palaces and are now in daily use transporting lumber and materials for construction to the interior of the ediftces. Later these tracks will be used in the installation of exhibits. When the exposition opens every track will be covered ov- CT, and will remain invisible until the close of the celebration, when they will again be used.

e. Risina of the Dead Sea.

Reference was made about a year ago to the rising level of the Dead sea-. The wonder of travellers is that the sea does not fill up, altogether that is, to those travellers who do not know. the phenomenal power of evap- oration which the sun has in this deep valley of Jordan, a valley whose depth gives il. almost tropical eli mate. As there is no outlet from the. sea, the level of it's surface is al ways at the, point of equilibrium. be- tween the inflow of water and the evaporation. Dr. Masterman, of 'Jeru- salem, who has for many years made meteorological observations and rec ords concerning the Dead sea. and given them to the public through the Palestine Exploration Society. has re- gently given a summary of most of the changes of level since the year 1900, and with this also resume of

Owner of Big Diamond Can't Find
 Purchaser For His Stone.
 London.-An English diamond digger named Bowker has arrived in London with diamond of the first water weighing 17SH carats. but he finds himself in the same position as Mark Twain's man with the $l,0OO,OOO bank note He has more wealth than hun dreds of men to whom he has appeal ed. but he is unable to raise a penny on the stone.
 The diamond is an amber stone, per fectly clear and of undoubted value. It was found at Droogeveld, South Af- rica. and resembles the Kohinoor. There is no question that Bowker is the legitimate owner, but he cannot find q buyer. He has shown the stone to all the big London dealers; but. while they have all displayed keen in- terest, all have declined to purchase it on one pretext or another.
 The biggest diamond ever found, the Cullinan, discovered in 1905. weighed 3,O25M carats. or 1-3 pounds, until it was cut up.

CHIHUAHUA RUN ON
 SOCIALISTIC BASIS
Rebels Operate Every Industry and Apply Proceeds to State.

Fl Paso. TeX.-Socialism is getting d practical tryout in Chihuahua, the refugees say The rebel state govern ment is operating the banks, the stores. the foundry. the brewery. the mint. tue street car lines. all gambling c0nces- sions, the railroad to Juarez and every other industry. Villa is preparing to reopen the old Falomir bank as state bank with the coniiscated Terrazas es, tates as securities and will issue paper money from the bank. All of the pro ceeds from street railway lines are go ing into the state treasury.
 Villa has ordered the Constitutional ist government to execute deeds giving the homes of the principal Huerta sympathizers in the city of Chihuahua to the rebel military commanders.
 Villa has announced that he will give the homes of Enrique Greet. Juan Creel, Juan Terrazas. Luis Terrazas, IT,, and Martin Falomir to his gen erals in the field and retain the home of Manuel Prieto for his own use.
 These homes were among those or dered conflscated by Villa. as well as that of Jacob Tuche. who is subject of Turkey. Villa also distributed clothing, shoes and candy from the seized Spanish stores among the poor of Chihuahua as q Christmas present from the rebel leader.
 A wireless tower is now ready in Chihuahua for operation on the roof of the cathedral. and field wireless out fit is to be supplied to the rebel army so that communication may be estab- ished. with headquarters in Chihua- hua.
 Rebel officials in Chihuahua claim to have evidence that the federal gen erals carried off much wealth when they evacuated and left for Oiinaga They declare that the federal com handlers reported to the City of Mexi co after all battles that none of their men had been killed and continued to draw pay for them all They charge that General Mercado bought $2O0.0UO worth of diamonds in Chihuahua city before leaving. as he could get them at very low prices because of the OWL CTS fear of losing them to rebel 1ooters.

UNEMPLOYMENT AND AGlTA-
 TORS.

The problem of unemployment is always serious one and has been at tracting more than usual attention in the last few months, owing to very general temporary depression, now happily passing, in many of the lead ing industries. While public officials and students of economic conditions have been exerting every effort to re- lieve the temporary distress as well as to plan aainst repetition of such situations, it is now being made clear that certain agitators nave been mak- ing a concerted effort to exaggerate conditions.
 In Chicago the other day there was a parade of the unemployed at the very moment that the municipal em- ployment agency was announcing that it had work on hand for 2,000 men. And in New York certain agitators have sent men around to churches ostensibly to ask sleeping quarters therein. when there was plenty of room in the municipal lodging house and not enough workers could be ob- tained by the contractors trying to remove snow from the city streets.
 The real problem of the unemploy- ed is grave enough, in all conscience, without having it confused with the efforts of demagogues and fakers.

SEEING AMERICA FIRST.

Millions of American dollars are spent by tourists in Europe every year. Many of these travellers have never seen half of their own. coun- try. They take in Switzerland, climb ing the mountains, riding in stage coaches, or up cog-railways, forget ting that the United States can offer them finer scenery on larger scale, and things that should interest themf as much as what they see abroad.
 Enos A. Mills, who lived in the rocky mountains for some time, IS now acquiring national prominence by trying to get congress to do some thing more for the improvement of our great national Western parks. MT. Mills says rightly that you can not expect people to put up with lot of discomfort in touring when they can get better hotel accommodations and travelling conveniences else where. He advocates putting America in a COn0ltlOn 10 De SeeH ny fio'Ioie D and then perhaps the people will spend their time and money in their own country.
 Many of the wonders of the United States are inaccessible to the average traveller. The hotel accommodatons are poor, the methods of conveyance primitive, the distances very long, and all in all people are not to be blamed for their attitude in going abroad in stead of seeing America first.
 Mr. Mills is on the right track. It is to be hoped that congress will look into this matter There is no way to estimate the amount that could be diverted from Europe and kept at home. At any rate, providing better hotels and roads, and keeping Amer ican property up to as high a stand ard as possible so that it is worth showing to American tourists-and to others from all parts of the world. for that matter--is nothing more than what should be expected, as we'll as paying investment.-Ex.

And Murphy will stick.
San Langford settled all doubts as
to his gameness when he knocked out
Frank. Wills, another colored man, in
the 14th round at Los Angeles.
Wills surprised kangford in the first
three chapters. In the first round,
after minute of sparring, Wills sent
Langford down for the count of nine
and repeated as soon as the Boston
man tottered to his feet. Langford
was helpless before whirlwind at
tack and the bell saved him. Groggy
at the start of the second, Langford
went down again, but managed to
weather the storm when he arose.
He didn't know his own corner at the
end of the round.
In the third and fourth Langford
was given terrible punishment, but
tenaciously chung to his man, and had
gained his bearings when the fifth
started. Then he made his regular
fight, keeping after his man and pep
pering him with both hands. In the
18th Langford Jared Wills with a

knocked Wills cold. .

early, but also employed all the foul

games and saved the west from hui
initiation by handily defeating SYRIA
cuse, 20 to 0. The score was half
that made by Dartmouth against the
Salt City eleven, but the Catholics
had just gone through a long trip.
EichenIaub, the big South Bend
fuIlback, showed the east that Mault-
bosch of Michigan isn't the only sure
ground gamer developed in the West.
Time after time Eichy tore up SYRIA
cuse line, blowing along with two or
three tacklers perched on his anat-
omy. He failed to cross the goal line
once, but for each touchdown put his
team in position by his irresistible
plunging.
Notre Dame met four eastern
elevens this fall and defeated two.
Army and Yale both downed the
Catholics, but Carlisle and Syracuse
were easy victims. The Notre Dame
season can be counted a bright sue
cess.
Some comparisons are now due,
owing to the fact that Syracuse
downed Michigan and was beaten by
Notre Dame. Comparative scores
are absolutely worthless, however,
and argument will not settle the
western supremacy.
Cornell wound up a good season by
