joined by the half dozen loafers who
had been lounging around the place.
These men did not exactly Join us, but

girl she was. passed the drinks over
the counter and took in the dust.
We did not try to get near the bar,
but after Il few moments regained the
street. The captain said farewell, and
we hunted up by his direction the New

had So worth of various things done to

still the center OF town, the streets i'm

were many clothing stores and a mum
Der Of new saloons and gambling
houses. AS we were picking our Way
along we ran into an old acquaintance
in the person OF the captain Of the
Panama. He recognized us ut once,
and we drew up for a chat. After we
had exchanged first news Johnny ask
ed him if he knew OF a place where Ii
fair price could be raised on the dla-
mond.
''Why, the jewelry store is your tick
ct, Of course" replied the captain.

"And a good one." supplemented the
captain. Come along. I'll take you
to it." ...
It was a good one and carried Il
large stock of rings. chains. pins.
clocks. watches aud speaking trump
cts. The latter two items were the
most prominent. for there were hun
dreds of watches and apparently thou
sands of speaking trumpets. They
stood in rows Oh the shelves and de-
pended in ranks from hooks and nails.
Most of them were Of silver or Of sill

cried as a group Of men turned in at

THE KNOTTY FOOD PROBLEM.
A Scientist Finds Its Solution In a
Nutty Proposition.

Leave it to the bewhiskered old bovs
Of science, they Of the square speclo-
cles and ear muffs, and this world VI
be pulled through its rather precariots
existence. Some time ago SOMEBODY
who needed the money wrote al
alarmist article for a magazine. stat
ing that in a very short time-in fact.
within 100000 or 100000 years-the
earth's food supply would be entirely
exhausted. a.
This set all the scientists going Hike
horoscopes. and IN the dizzy whirl of
investigation some very interesting
things came to light. 1t vas up to the
scientists to find something for the
people to eat 100000 or 100000
years hence. 1t was not wholly q new
problem. Scientists long ago evolved
the scheme Of saving up timber int"
breakfast food and said that q man
could 60 forth with Il bucksaw and get
enough sawdust out OF Il fence rail to
keep himself and his family supplied
for some time.
One learned scientist thinks that ht
has solved the problem for all time.
He says that the nut trees could in q
pinch supply food for the entire world.
This knotty question has become O
nutty question and one which he has
apparently solved. Those who are on
earth now should be Of good Chez.
They will not have to starve 100000
years hence.-Topeka State Journal.

Tropical Climate.
The geology Of mountain regions is
generally more difficult to master than
that Of plains, because the rocks have
been more broken and tilted about,
but the geology Of certain parts Of
Mississippi is almost as difficult as
that Of Il mountainous region, because
certain widely distributed formations
bear few definite identification marks,
particularly remains and impressions
of plants and animals that lived at the
time the deposits were formed.
a peculiar sandstone, which geolo-
gists have called the Catahoula sand
stone, has been studied with care by
G. G. Matson and Z. w. Berry Of the
United States geological survey, de-
partment of the interior, who have
been able to identify and follow the
sandstone by means of the remains OF
plants.
Among the plants found were pines.
ferns, leaves Of date palms, tropical
myrtles, figs, and a tree closely related
to the present day Mexican and Cen
trail American sapota, from which
most Of the material for chewing gum
is obtained. These fossil plants show
that at the time the sandstone was
formed-perhaps 100000 years ago
the climate Of this region was tropical,
and bones Of camels found by other
| biologists in the region and the SINH
larity Of thersand composing the SIll-
stone to certain tropical desert sands
