A GREAT PREHISTORIC SEA.
Il Reached From the Gulf Of Mexico
Far Up Into New York.


Far UP Into New York.
A prehistoric sea or arm of the ocean
which extended from the gulf of Mex
leo far up into New York state Is de-
s:ribed by the United States geological
survey In reporting to a correspondent
On a rock sample:
1.-THE rock was formed very long ago
many millions years ago. In what ge-
ologists call the Devonian period. AT
that time large part Of the eastern
United States was occupied by an
arm Of the sea which extended north
eastward from the gulf Of Mexico re-
gion 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 far
Their east lay a great continent which
extended an unknown distance into
the area now occupied by the north
Atlantic. The northern shore Of the
sea WINS somewhere near line drawn
from Albany through Syracuse. Roch-
ester 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.
1.-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 crawled about
or grew upon the sea door. AS the
streams washed In sand and mud from
the neighboring lands the sea grind
ually nlled 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
tile region, and the beds Of sand and
mud that had been hardened into sand
stone and shale were lifted thousands
Of feet above sea level to form a great
new land. The Catskill mountains
have since been carved from this up
lifted mass of rock through the cut
ting of valleys by the streams"

In the World.
The largest monument of the human
form existing in the east today. II not
In the world, is the great reclining
statue Of Buddha near Pegu, In Bur
ma, around which the government
erected a building with lattice steel
pillars to protect 1t from the elements.
This colossus was brought to light dur
ing the construction Of the railway
that runs northeast from Rangoon to
Mandalay.
While the permanent way WAS being
banked up to protect the lines from
occasional foods the engineer In charge
required for the purpose of bis work
a harder ballast than the alluvial de-
posit over which the line was running
could give him. Less than n mile away
was a tree clad mound, and here. 1t
was thought, suitable material might
be found. The task of clearing away
some Of the trees took but an hour or
the needed stone. Before the diggers
had gone down more than n yard they
struck an enormous and fairly pre-
served figure of Gautama.
In actual length the statue is 1870
feet and fifty feet high at the Shout
der. The figure and its pedestal are
Of brick. covered with plaster. Since
Its discovery the plaster has been re-
moved and painted over, the box at
the head and the finger nails gilded
and the headdress decorated with
glass jewels. The statue is thought to
be about 500 years old. but no one
knows its history. no reference what
ever being made to 1t In Burmese leg

Rudy Mars.

There seems to have been no reason
other than Its suggestive color for the
selection Of the planet Mars as the ce-
lestial symbol of the war god. Yet 1t
was universally 80 regarded In ancient
times.
If we could tell why Mars Is red we
might hit upon the whole secret Of that

due to some peculiar quality of its soil
