LONG 'N0-MAN'S LAND
FALKLAND ISLANDS NOT CON.
siDERED WoRTH POSSESSING.
Though Now q Part OF the British
Possessions, This Dates Only
From the Eighteenth Cen.
tury-Rivers Of Stones.


The Falkland islands. which win
always be memorable in the history
Of the war, were first discovered by
. Captain Cowley In the days OF
Queen Elizabeth, but 1t was not until
1764, in the days OF King George, that
the British decided to annex them.
It was then found that the French
had established colony there In the
previous year and had annexed the
islands In the name of the king OF
France. The British, however, later
came into possession, but were evict-
ed by the Spaniards by main force.
A war between England and Spain
was averted, and the English resumed
possession. only to abandon the place
three years later. Until the transac-
lions which took place between the
Argentine and the British governments
In the early part OF the eighteenth
century the islands were q no-mans
land.
Lacturing before the Royal Colonial
institute In London recently, Major
Quayle Dickson. formerly colonial sec
rotary for the Falklands. remarked
that the rivers OF stones were con-
sidered by many to be the most In
teresting feature OF the Falklands.
They varied In length from a few
yards to two miles. and from dis
lance looked like rivers.
There was no accepted explanation
OF their existence. but one theory put
forward was that the whole country
Including Patagonia) was at one time
covered with ice. When the ice
melted these stones were left bare
and slipped down the hilisides into
the valleys where they were now
found. II was also suggested that the
bowlder streams were due simply to
the natural disintegration of the solid
rock.
The blocks were not water worn,
their angles being only little blunt.
ed. They varied In size from one to
| two feet In diameter to ten or even
twenty times as much, and were not
| thrown together In irregular piles
but spread out into level sheets or
great streams.
1t was not possible to ascertain
their depth, but the water of small
streamlets could be heard trickling
through the stones many feet below
the surface. The actual depth was
probably great, or the crevices be.
tween the fragments must long ago
have been filled up with sand and
peat dust. So large were the stones
that one could easily find shelter be
meath one OF them.
In some cases a continuous stream
Of these fragments followed up the
course of a valley, and extended even
to the very crest of the hill. On these
crests huge masses, exceeding In di
mansions any small buildings, stood
as II arrested in their headlont
course.
There also the carved strata of thu
archways lay piled on each other like
the ruins OF some vast and ancien,
cathedral.

new CHIEF OF YARDS AND DOCKS

Civil Engineer Frederic r. Harris
OF the navy, recently appointed chief
of the bureau of yards and docks, navy
department, to succeed Civil Engineer
Homer r. Stanford, has made an en-
viable record in connection with
number of important projects on
which he was engaged since appoint
ment to the navy corps Of civil engi-
neers.
Among his achievements was the
solving Of the problem that long had
attached to the dry dock at the New
York navy yard, the contract for
which was awarded in 1905. Five years
later, after several contractors had
failed on the job, Civil Engineer Har-
rts took charge. He employed an en-
tirely new method Of construction, he
was instrumental in having the di-
mansions OF the dock increased, and
he successfully completed the work
In 1912.
