naval engagements of the European war

Judging from reports from various ships
which have been engaged in target prac-

VAST PREHISTORIC SEA.
Covered Large Portion Of the United
States Now Teemins With PopuIa-
ton.

A prehistoric sea. or arm of the
ocean. which extended from the Gulf
of Mexico far up into New York State.
together with the early animal life of
this sea, is described in an interesting
manner by the United State Geo
logical Survey in reporting to a cor
respondent on rock sample:
The rock was formed very long
ago. many million years ago, in what
biologists call the Devonian period.
At that time a large part of the east
ern United States was occupied by an
arm of the sea which extended north
eastward from the Gulf of Mexico re-
sion into New York State. The east
ern shore Of the sea was not far east
of the present line of the Blue Ridge
and the Highlands Of New Jersey and
southeastern New York, and still
farther east lay great continent
which extended an unknown distance
into the area now occupied by the
North Atlantic. The northern shore
drawn from Albany through Syracuse.
Rochester, and Buffalo. The present
site of the Catskills was thus near
the northeast end or head of this sea
or gulf. with land not far away on the
east and north.
The sea teemed with life, almost
wholly invertebrate animals and ma
rine plants, and the larger part Of the
life appears to have inhabited the
sea bottom. Brachiopods, though
rare now. were very abundant then.
and many other forms Of animals
awled about or grew upon the sea
floor. AS the streams washed in sand
and mud from the neighboring lands
and the sea gradually filled up and the
shells Of many brachiopods and other
shell bearing animals were thus buried
in the sand and their forms preserved
till now BY slow upward movement
of the earth's crust the sea was
drained from the region and the beds
of sand and mud that had been
and hardened into sandstone anu
shale. and lifted thousands OF 1eet
above sea level to form great new
land. The Catskill Mountains have
since been carved from this upilfted
mass of rock through the cutting VI
valleys by the streams.
AS rule none VI lie o'ie'i''' ~

ON EXHIBITION
New Pacific Type Locomotive
Goes to Atlantic City To-
day; in Service Soon

one of the largest passenger loco
motives in the worlG will be added to
the equipment of the Keading Railway
within few weeks for service be-
tween Camden and Atlantic City.
The machine, huge and powerful.
was designed and built in the Reading
shops in Reading. 1t will draw thir-
teen heavy steel coaches loaded with
passengers at the rate of ninety miles
an hour.
The locomotive is complete now and
will be taken to Atlantic City to-day
and placed on exhibition there at the
convention of the Master Car Builders
afterward ii will be placed in service.
Pacific Type Engine
This locomotive is the first of the
new Pacific type of passenger engines,
Glass G-1-A. 1t is fitted with all the
latest Improvements such as super
heater, power reverse gear, Walschaert
valve gear, piston valves, automatic
fire doors, light reciprocating parts of
heat treated steel, etc.
This type of engine has more ca
pacity than any of the present equip
ment of the Reading Railway and will
aid greatly in keeping up the heavy
fast passenger schedules between this
city and the shore.
The addition of this huge locomo-
tive to the Atlantic City service of the
Reading Railway will be great boon
to travellers to the shore city. The
train that this locomotive will draw
will be composed of all-steel coaches
with every comfort installed and ca
pable of making the run at a main
tanned speed of ninety miles an hour.

2,OO4.326, an increase of 173,604 over
the previous year. The natural in
crease in attendance which comes with
each year that sees favorable weather
will be helped along in 1916 by an in

Department of Agriculture are offer
ing total of S179,671.42 in premiums
for this year, which is s1S,045 more
than last year.

fOU CAN HAVE PINK CHEEKS

What causes the color to fade from
pink cheeks and red lips2 In a word
it is thin blood.
When the fading color in cheeksend
lips is accompanied by loss of bright
ness in the eyes and an increasing
heaviness in the step, the cause is to be
sought in the state of the blood.
A hundred causes may contribute to
the condition of thin blood that is
known as anemia. 0verwork, lack of
outdoor exercise, insufficient rest and
sleep, improper diet, these are a few
of them. The important thing is to re-
store the blood to normal, to build it
up so that the color will return to
cheeks and lips.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the great
blood builder and invigorator. They be-
gin at once to increase the red corpus
cles in the blood and the new blood car
ries strength and health to every part
OF the body. Appetite increases, diges-
tion becomes more perfect, energy and
ambition return.

New Efficiency Record
For Middle Division Men

Middle division employees during the
month of May established one of the
best efficiency records ever attained on
this division of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road.
There were a total of 156 efficiency
tests made on the division regarding
the observance of signals and other
safety rules, and all were observed and
carried out perfectly. The observations
of obedience rules numbered %, ,163
and of these there were but two fail
ures noted, and they were in the case
of flagmen failing to properly protect
their trains. The greatest number of
observations were in regard to con-
formity to speed regulations, there be-
ing 2.472, and all were correct. A per-
feet record was made regarding proper
use of signals, there being SS1 OBJ
servations. There were also 664 per-
feet displays of markersA That caution
was taken by the engineers and train
men in protecting men working on
tracks is evidenced by the fact that
2,221 observations were made regard
ing the observance of regulations, and
all were perfect.

Planks VIII Laud Wilson
The principal planks that await
presentation to the platform commit
tee are foreign relations, the Mexican
situation, preparedness and tariff. The
foreign relations plank will set forth
the unprecedented conditions that
have arisen as result of the war
and it will be pointed out that while
President Wilson has kept us from
strife he has also maintained a neu-
trality both strict and honest
The plank on the Mexican situation
will develop that this question has
been approached with the idea of
keeping peace not only with the Mexi-
can republic, but to maintain peace
within her own borders.
On the question of preparedness the
platform will assert that the party
has met the demands of the worldwide
situation by an advanced stage of pre-
paredness of the navy and the enlarge
ment of the army and the reorganiza-
tion of the National Guard.
TarifT-An Achievement
The tariff plank will point out that
the reduction of tariff duties so that
the income from that source in normal
times would meet the needs of the
