GREAT ANTIQUITY OF FLORIDA.
Discovered by U. S. Geological Survey to
be Older than Has Been Supposed.

For many years the origin OF the pen
insula Of Florida has been the subject
of speculation among scientists. Some
sixty years ago the great naturalist
Louis Agassiz advanced the hypothe-
sis that the greater part of the PENN
sula had been produced during compare
lively recent times by successive growth
of coral reefs along its southern margin,
which has thus been extended farther
and farther into the waters OF the gulf.
A few years later Joseph LeConte re-
stated this view Of the organic origin
of Florida and suggested that the work
of corals has been largely supplemented
by mud and other sediments dropped by
the gulf stream.
This hypothesis was generally accept.
ed as correct for many years, but in
1881 Prof. Eugene A. Smith discovered
that the greater part of the peninsula
OF Florida is underlain at no great depth
by limestones which are not the work
Of corals and which were formed long
before the recent epoch.
For the last 81 years these fundamen-
tai rocks OF Florida, often called the
0cala limestones. have been thought TO
be nearly equivalent in age 20 che Nicks-
burg limestone OF Mississippi and Ala
hama and have been called the Vicks-
burg group. A short time ago c. Wythe
Cooke, Of the United States geological
survey, discovered that the Ocala or so
called NickHburg limestone Of Florida
contains many fossil remains Of sea shells |
n the same species that occur in the |
maria near .Tarkson Mis- aud that are I
known 10 have become extinct before the |
rocks az Nicksburg were deposited. IL |
therefore appears that the Ocala lime /
stone Is Of about the same age A. the
Jackson formation and Is considerably 1
,lder than has heretofore been supposed. |

EMBASSY HAS IT IN CHARGE.
Agreement with Hamburg American
Line in Official Hands.

| New York, Dec 1.-THE abstract OF
the Hamburg American lines agreement
with the German government whereby
the former was to supply German cruis-
ers at sea with coal and supplies in neu-
trail ships sailing from American ports
early in the war, has passed into the
keeping of the German embassy at
Washington.
DR.. Karl Buenz, managing director of
the line, so testified yesterday in his
trial--and that of three other line Off

spiracy now nearing its close in the
United States district court here.
Not only has the abstract of this agree.
ment been given TO the embassy for safe
keeping, Doctor Buenz testified, but all
correspondence on the subject, by letter
or cable, likewise has formally been
turned over to the German government
through the embassy at Washington.
The cablegrams, it was said, were in
the German naval code and were re.
moved TO the embassy when it was
thought there was danger of their being
coming public through this trial and
thus revealing to representatives of Eng
land, France and Russia, the key TO the
German secret code.
Notwithstanding the severance of the
German cables to America by the British
early in the war, the Hamburg American
line was in constant cable communication
with Germany, Doctor Bucnz testified.
These cablegrams, a6 the time the line
sent out relief ships, told Doctor Buenz
where to send his ships to meet German
Notwithstanding the isolation of
the warships from the German admiralty. |
The government strenGously objected
TO Doctor Buenz's testimony concerning
the abstract of the agreement and the
eablegrams relating to the dispatch of |
relief ships. Roger B. Wood, United
States assistant district attorney, con-
tended that the documents themselves
we're available and that they should be
brought into the court room. In this
lie was upheld by Judge Howe and Doc

tons of three of his cabinet ministers
Baron Engel Won Mainfeldon, minister OF
finance; DR.. Karl Heinold D'Udynski
minister of the interior, and DIR. Rudolf
Schuster Won Bonnott, minister of com

said the deposed ministers favored open
ing negotiations for separate peace
with Italy.
DIR. Heinold and Baron Engel have been
appointed members of the upper house,
while the rank of freiherr has been con-
ferred on DIR. Schuster.
Prince Hohenlohe Schillingfuerst, presi-
dent of the supreme court of accounts,
has been appointed minister of the inte-
rior; Ritter Won Leth governor of the
postal savings bank, minister of finance,
and Herr Won Sptzminller, director of
the kredit anstalt, minister of commerce.
The three designations naturally are
associated in diplomatic comment, with
reports that Austrian leaders have been
discussing separate peace for their

they favored such step, but were over
ruled.
The finance minister is thought likely
to have surrendered his portfolio because
unable to raise money to continue the
struggle. The interior minister is pre-
sumed to have retired through inability
to organize food distribution satisfactor-
lily and perhaps because he could not
cope with outbreaks of popular discon-
tent. The commerce minister, it is sug-
gested, probably agreed with the other
two.
These were surmises. Vienna dis |

FAVORED RURAL CREDITS.
Along the Line of Building and Loan
Associations.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-Robert ID. Kent, pres.
dent of the Merchants bank, Passaic
n j., in an address yesterday before the
National Conference on Marketing and
Farm Credits proposed system of ru-
raj credits organized after the manner
of building and loan associations, the
separate associations to be controlled by
central national body. He favored
such system because of its inherent
tendency to encourage private initiative.
He said that government operation OF
any business was not TO be desired and
was not necessary He hoped for a
self capitalized system of rural credits.
Mr.. Kent said in part:
Each agricultural community should
organize into an association all of the
farmers and Others who desired to share
in the prospective benefits, at the rate
of one dollar a month per share. If
five hundred shares were subscribed, the
end of the third month would see a fund
of ST 800 available for making temporary
loans to such members as might need
TO borrow. After the lapse of year
the accumulated dues, interests and re-
payment of short loans would amount
to enough to warrant the association in
embarking in the farm mortgage bust
ness. -
"Any number of local associations not
less than ten and not exceeding thirty
should form district association, gov
erned by a board consisting of one repre-
sentative from each local association in

should be federated into a national as

SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR

Rheumatism depends on an acid which
flows in the blood, affecting the muscles
and joints, producing Inflammation, stiff
ness and pain. This acid gets into the
blood through some defect in the digest
i've processes, and remains there because
the liver, kidneys and skin are too torpid
to carry it off,
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old-time blood
tonic, is very successful in the treatment
of rheumatism. IL acts directly, with
purifying effect, on the blood, and,

and skin, which it stimulates, and at
the same time II improves the digestion.
