Salt sea, were wholly cut on" And
later It Is said that after the people
passed over, "the waters of the Jordan
returned unto their place. and went
over all its banks. as aforetime."
The geological situation is here a
very interesting one and fits exactly
into the situation SO that the geologist
has no difficulty in believing the story.
The water In the Dead sea and Jordan
valley stood at one time 1.400 feet
higher than now. so that lake ex-
tanded from Lake Merom southwark
through the valley OF the Jordan and
the Dead sea, and rs or 30 miles be-
yond. This was during the glacial
period when the rainfall was greater
and the evaporation less than now.
On the passing away of these condi-
tons the lake was gradually dried up
to its present Dimensions. But mean
while the streams coming in from
every side had deposited hundred
feet or more Of sediment over the
Jordan valley. leaving 1t in much the
condition in which an old mill pond is
found when the water. ia first drawn

valley covered with this deposit IL
about Is miles wide.
The River Jordan has cut chan
mel through this unconsolidated sedi-
ment about 100 feet deep. This chan
mel Is now on an average about u
quarter Of a mile wide. with a food
plain which is annually overfiowed by
water. extending to the high banks.
As this inner gorge is being constant
ly enlarged by the erosion Of the
stream 1t must have been much mar
rover 5000 years ago than It is now.
The conditions, therefore. make It
very easy at certain points for land
slide to occur which should temporar-
lily dam the stream and produce exact
ly the succession OF events described
in the Bible. There is an Arabic &C
count OF similar interruption in the
flow. of the Jordan Is miles above
Damieh, in A. D. 1878. Not more than
200 years ago the Columbia river In
Oregon was damned up at the Cas-
cades by an immense landslide, but In
this case the obstruction was perma-
nent since 1t turned the water over the
rocks which now form the cascades.

Throughout the Scriptures marriage
is used to illustrate the relation OF
God to the chosen people and OF
Christ to his church. Lovers of the
Bible would therefore keep matrimony
holy. They would see In 1t something
more than biological phenomenon
or legal contract. They would exalt
1t, dignity it. and solemnize 1t. They
believe that the tide of public opinion
must be turned away from marriages

berly, with due solemnity and in the
fear of God.
To follow the Bible is also to seek
to promote marriage among the truly
marriageable. 1t is said that there
are In New York city more than $50.
900 unmarried men and women over
twenty-five years OF age, OF whom $50.
900 are men and 100000 women. AT

the broken fence and reached lot

there cropped grass which had been
poisoned in the mixing OF spray for
potato vines. in consequence OF which
part of them died. Defendant did not
know that the potatoes had been

American troops, instead Of being n
safeguard against further revolution
and peace with the United Sttaes, con-
stituted a constant menace to friend
ly relations. The Mexican chief con-
tended--and he was supported by
Gen. Villa and Gen. Obregon-that
the Mexican people would not under
stand the continued presence Of
American troops on Mexican soil and
would cherish resentment no matter
how we'll intentioned the American
government was.
Until today the Washington gov
crnmcnt had not decided on any fixed
time for the withdrawal and awaited
negotiations with the new govern
ment. At first the president believed
it desirable to keep American forces
at Vera Cruz for salutary effect, hop
rng a constitutional election would be
conducted fairly and the troops
brought back after constitutionally
elected executive was in power. The
constitutionalist chief argued, how
ever, that no election could be free
with part of Mexican territory con-
trOllcd by American forces.
Secretary Garrison today asked Sec
retary Bryan to designate competent
MeXicans to take over the Vera Cruz
customs house and city government.
An inquiry on this subject was sent
:" the CarranZa government by Sccre-
tary Bryan, but no answer has been
received.
The troops at Vera Cruz are oX-
pectcd to begin departure in about
two weeks. Orders were sent to
transports at Newport News today to
prepare for the movement.
