ODD SEA OF WHITE SAND

In the midst of the Southwestern
desert, near Alamogordo, N. M. there
Is shining sea of white sand that
has proved a puzzle to many noted sci
entists who have visited it.
The country in which the sands are
located Is known as the Tularosa des-
ert. AS the traveller approaches the
desert he gets no preliminary hints as
to the character of the country he is
entering upon. Suddenly one comes
upon distinctly marked bed Of white
sand, glittering and sparkling in the
sun like nothing so much as granula-
ted sugar. The pure wilderness OF the
sand is astounding AS far as the eye
can reach. there is a glare of white,
relieved only by the creme of the yucca
plants on some of the dunes.
These dunes are composed of irreg-
ular heaps and ridges of gypsum.
Some of the dunes rise to height of
90 feet, but most of them stretch away
In regular pillows of Is or 20 feet In
height The effect of water is height
ened by the ripples which are carved
on the surface Of the sand by the
winds. These ripples look like wave
lets carved on marble representa-
ton of the ocean, when viewed from
a distance.
The white sands are in an irregular
body, 10 by 80 miles in extent They
are composed of gypsum, and are in
perfect granules. When moist the
sands are yellowish, but when dry are
pure white They are firm and unyield-
Ing, like wet beach on the seashore,
and one can walk across them almost
without Leaving footprints. Taken In
the hand, the grains of sand are dull,
but when viewed from a distance they
sparkle with an uncanny brightness.
II one walks a little way across the
white sands, in the middle of one of
the hot, sunshiny days common in
New Mexico, the glare proves almost
binding, while the heat radiated from |
this sea Of sand is terrific. A peculi- |
arity about the sand is its perfect sol |
utility. Taken in the hands. grains |
of the white sand can be rubbed into |
powder with little effort
Oldtimers in New Mexico, who have
known of the white sands for many
years, assert that the white sands are
constantly moving. The Indians tell
all kinds of uncanny stories concern
ing the white sands, which are sup
posed to be bad medicine" and the
red men are careful to keep away from
the place. 1t is estimated by careful
observers that In about twenty years
the white sands have advanced east
ward one-half mile, and that a steady
movement In that direction is going
On. In fact, wagon road leading
around the edge of the sands has been
changed several times, because the
shifting sea of sand has obliterated
parts of It,
Nobody has ever made the trip
icross the white sands to the knowl-
edge OF white men in the southwest
t would be easy for a "tenderfoot" to
become lost in the sand dunes half ;
nile from the edge Of the Tularosa
lesert proper. The dunes look much {
like, and, unless one had compass f
le might wander for days in the maze ;
4 glazing white sand hills and never
md his way out. 1t would require but
few hours in such a blaze OF heat,
owever for man to succumb, I'M
ess he had taken the precaution to 0
rovide himself with an ample supply
( water.

The Southern Banker, the only
magazine of its kind in the South
eastern states published in the inter
est of banks and banking, is alive
to the Importance of advertising
more extensively the advantages OF

Information reaches us that this
company will shortly send a repre-

pose of gathering information to be
used in the publication of Greater
Florida edition as a supplement- in
equal size to its present regular
monthly.
Undoubtedly it will result in bring
ing many new people and enterpris
es into FLORIDA
The Southern Banker should BE-
commended for selecting FLORIDA fol

Approaching this. the people of Flor
ida generally county boards, CONNER
cial bodies and all enterprising citi
zens should join heartily with The
| Southern Banker in making thi.
edition the best ever devoted to this
state.
The fact that this. the largest and
only financial magazine in fourteen
Southern States, takes up this worl
and will place Greater Florida edi
ton wherever their own paper pene
trates, is an advantage out of th'
ordinary. Also it is proof conclusive
that this state will be prominent1l
brought before the people OF the Il
