ROCKS MADE TO TELL THEIR OWN
STORY

The walls of the Grand Canyon in
Arizona form a great natural gealogic
section, in which each layer of rock is
in its original position relative to
those above and below 1t. In few 9TH
er places, however, is the story of the
upbuilding of the earths crust so
plainly and impressively told. AS a
rule the geologist who would decipher
the records of the rocks must get a
bit here and a bit there. He may
find the edges of some beds exposed
in a river bluff and Others sticking
out on steep mountain side. He de-
termines by fossils or other means
the order in which the beds were de-
posted, and by putting all his infor-
nation together he constructs what
he calls a columnar section for the
district in which he is working-thick-
ness and character of the beds. Such
q section discloses the strata that
fern the upper part of the earth's
crust at that place. just as a slice of
layer cake shows at a glance the va
rious layers of which it is composed
After a number of districts in a re-
gion have been studied and their gen.
eral columnar sections determined,
the gealogic history of the region can
be learned by comparing these sec
tiOns, just as the engineer who is
drilling for low-grade copper ores
his drill records and thus
learns the outlines of the ore body.
Such comparison of the beds at one
place and another shows how certain
beds change in character and thick
hess from place to place or even thin
out and disappear. 1t enables the geo.
logist to draw some conclusions as tc
the former distribution of land and
sea, to distinguish the deposits laid
down in deep water from those spread
by rivers over their flood plains, and
to reconstruct in imagination the
course of events at a time long be-
fore the beginning of the Grand Can
yon. Such a comparison has recently
been made for Arizona, and is pub
lished by the United States Geological
Survey, Department of the Interior,
as Professional Paper 9S-K, by F. l.,
Ransome, geologist.

MYSTERIES OF WORDS
Detroit Free Press)

Our language is always in a state of
fluXation or change, so that the mean
ings of words alter, one hardly knows
when or how. Take the word blouse,
for instance, which once described a
loose, ugly garment, worn by men and
badly dressed women. By some mys-
terious transition it now applies to the
thinnest and most fragile of
coverings, thing of V-neck and trans
parency. Criticism is another instance
OF perversion. Standing for the power
of nice discrimination originally, It
is now synonym for faultfinding. A
year or so ago, when a certain promi-
nent New York clergyman was sued
for breach of promise, society instant
ly scented a scandal, and was disap-
pointed that the breach was merely a
failure to pay certain moneys as prom
Used. By common usage the phrase
has come to mean failure to fulfill a
the simple process of common use in
a certain way, words are made to
mean things other than their roo.
meanings would signify.
Another amusing thing in regard to
words is the way in which they come
into prominence and have what in
craftsmanship would be termed "
run" For time they are on all lips.
then apparently the public's fancy
changes, and another attaches the
spotlight. Efficiency played up large
something over a year ago Reforr
was sadly overworked for a season;
community had it's innings, and Their
verybody was approached with a prop
osition. We can also remember wheE
the adjective big was a favorite prefix
Preparedness and Americanism are
the catchwords of the present. bu.
even the pure-bred Yankee could not
guess what will replace them. Some
unusual word gets into print; its nov.
city attracts; it is appropriated, but
finally dies a natural death and. a new
one catches on"
We have, all of us, smiled over the
enthusiastic schoolgirl to whom a
cake, a sunset, a new dress ana pic
mic are alike perfectly elegant" Her
vocabulary has its limitations; she was
fallen into the habit of using a certain
word without much regard for its ap
positeness. Really We should not
smile; We all do it.

UNCLE SANS DOMAIN
Chicago JournaD

Secretary Lane has given out some
public land figures which are rather
surprising. He shows that Uncle Sam
still owns 254,945,5S9 acres of vacant
land, situated in 25 states. This is
Just under 100000 square miles-an
area equal to the combined extent of
England, France, Holland, Belgium
and Italy, with almost enough left
over to include Switzerland, too.
Most of this vast domain is located
in the Western states, of course, but
710,564 acres are in the Southern
states, largely in Arkansas, and 1913, 40s
acres in Minnesota alone. Florida is
the only state fronting on the Atlantic
which has any public land.
The agricultural value of this ma
tional farm is very limited Most of
the Western land, unless located on in
accessible mountain tops, is dry as an
undertaker's eye, and most of the
Southern and Minnesota acreage goes
OF the other extreme and is wet as 4
First Ward ball. A great deal of min
eral wealth is found on the public do
main, however, and much of it is good
for grazing purposes.
Irrigation and n grazing homestead
law will help to settle some parts of
the Western domain, but in the South
the national Government should get
more land before parting with any
that it now holds. The problem of the
Mississippi River never will be rightly
dealt with until the Government takes
over the food lands at their existing
value, reclaims them with comprehen-
sive levees or a spillway system, and
then by selling this reclaimed acreage
pays back to the national Treasury
much or all of the expenses incurred

CHAMPION FISH STORY
New York Tribunel

The fish story to be told herewith is
at the outset admitted to be the hard
est to believe ever emanating from New
Jersey. However, truth crushed to the
ground will rise out of the crushers,
there can be no denying that:
Louis G. Bowden, of Little Falls road
was fishing in the waters of Peckman
river on Saturday and caught picker
ell. II was great big one, and as he
snapped it out of the water he give
a triumphant cry. A fish hawk flying
over his head seized the fish and con-
tinued on his way, allowing the hook
to flop down empty. Mr.. Bowden, as
might be expected, was exceedingly
annoyed. He was especially anxious
to eat some pickerel, and he whipped
the river for an hour in an effort to
get one. No luck.
The fish hawk who deliberately stole
that pickerel flew over the truck farm
OF Jacob Gissing after leaving the
scene of the robbery. The pickerel
was heavy, and the hawk with difficul-I
ty flew on. Mr.. Gissing saw the bird
swooping low and, throwing up his
hat, shouted with energy. The bird
dropped the fish.
When MIR. Gissing took the fish home
his wife said it was so large and fine
that she would call up Mr.. and Mrs.
Bowden, who lived near by. and have a
splendid fish dinner with new peas,
new potatoes, fresh beets and straw
berry shOrtcake.
Mr. Bowden, angry beyond words,
arrived home just as his wife was
ready to go to the Gissing home. He
went What night. What a
triumph. His own fish.
