HOW WORLD KEEPS BALANCE
Permanence of Continents Explained
by Biologists as Due to Greater
Lightness of Rock of Land.

1t Is a comparatively new theory
that explains the permanence Of con-
tinents, though their surfaces are on
the average about three miles higher
than the sea bottom, as due to the
greater lightness Of the rocks Of the
land. At various periods in geological
history the balance thus established
has been disturbed by the forcing up
or depressing of portions of the
earths crust, and the disturbances
seem to have been followed by slow
settling or rising to the point of stable
equilibrium.
Late researches by the coast and
geodetic survey prove satisfactorily
that the mountains Of the United
States at least retain their places
through their low density instead of
being held up by the rigidity or
strength Of the earth's materials. The
lfghtest gases rise highest, land are,
kept above the general level as ice
bergs rise higher than the denser wa
ter in which they float. The differ
ences in the density of continental and
suboceanic materials are believed to
continue down to a depth of about
sixty miles. The normal condition is
considered to be that in the large river
valleys and under the coastal plains,
and the material below sea level is
heavier than normal down to sixty
miles.

pened upon it's course of exposure
through having had for three years
before the war what other papers de-
scribed as a bug on wireless teleg-
raphy. The paper had maintained two
powerful wireless plants at Point Ju-
dith and at Block island.
when war broke out they had de-
cided to listen in on the messages
crossing the Atlantic. For five months
they kept record of these messages,
and then they set out to find the codes
and make revelations. Of the mate
rial they secured they used only a frac-
tional part
"One OF the newspapers stenograph-
ers was sent and secured an appoint
ment in the Austrian consulate In New
York. Other of his workers were con-
stantly engaged in shadowing Captain
Boy-Ed, Captain Won Papen, former
Austrian Ambassador Dumba, Ambas-
sador BernStOrff and other German
and Austrian officials.
''The two wireless plants unceasing-
ly listened in, two shifts of operators
at work day and night, on Sayville and
Nantucket, the two wireless stations
which were being used mostly by the
Germans to keep in touch with Berlin,
from where they received instructions
for every detail Of their plotting policy.

nothing suspicious was ever reported
until Mr.. Rathom took some of the
messages which he had received from
his operators to the state department.
1t was then learned that the navy yard
operators had been in the pay Of Ger
man agents in America and had been
told not to hear too much.
"The codes used by the Germans
were Of the most ingenious nature.
Many of them pretended to be stock
quotations, and some were even done
up as funeral directions In some
cases, however, the codes showed evil

to by the speaker, as on one occasion
when Mr.. Rathom was able to go to
President Wilson and show him COPIES
of eight separate messages sent by the
wireless plant within nine days, all re-
lating that little Emily had died Of
such and such an illness, In a certain
part Of room, had been buried in q
certain cemetery beside such and such
a previously deceased relative. In
every one of these messages the Ill
ness, the part Of the room, the name of
the relative, the cemetery, and so on,
varied, and clear code was detected
in each Of the messages.

KOBE HAS WESTERN FLAVOR
Big Busting Japanese City Seems
Proud of Having Occidental Rather
Than Oriental Appearance.

When you arrive at the hotel in
Kobe the management informs you
proudly that they have the biggest
dining room between Calcutta and San
Francisco. This is a foretaste of a
string Of disappOintments that await
the tourist who is in search of the
real Japanese flavor. Kobe is a big,
bustling prosperous city, but it is proud
Of being up-tO-date and Western rath-
er than being curious and Oriental
The hotel is full of European travel
ers and business men, the streets are
full of people in Western costumes,
and on the whole you are likely to de-
eide that you might have stayed in
Kansas City.
If you refuse to be disappointed,
however, and extend your explorations,
you will find that the characteristically
Japanese quarters of Kobe are the big
gest part of the city and it is still
going about it's affairs in the Japanese
way. Here are the narrow crowded
streets, the bounding rickshaw men
who pull up and grin good naturedly
at each other after averting a fatal
collision by hairs breadth, the rows
on rows of little low shops with their
big, incomprehensible signs, and the
incongruous groves and forests of tele-
graph poles.
The telegraph and telephone pole to-
day is really more feature Of the
Japanese landscape than Fujiyama, the
sacred mountain. The modern Jap
anese fan should show a line of
conventionalized telegraph poles dis
appearing in impossible perspec-
tive rather than the cherry blossoms
and fan-wielding maidens who belong
60 past age. For some reason Japan
has proved a fertile soil for the tele-
graph pole. The wires run under
ground and apparently more poles are
used than there is any necessity for.
The poles are the most conspicuous
feature of the Kobe landscape.

U-BOATS NEAR AMERICA AGAIN
U. S. Learns Submarines Have Base in
the Atlantic off Cuba.


Providence, r. l., June 27.-The
Providence Journal today says:
1.-THE United States government is
in possession Of information which
has revived the belief that German
U-bOats are again on this side of the
Atlantic and that they have estab-
lished a base somewhere off the south
side of Cuba.
1T is declared by officers Of the navy
that If this is so these U-boats have
either been preceded or followed by
one or more mercantile submarines,
which have carried extra supplies Of
tOrpedOes and oil.
"Such a convoy is said to be abso-
lutely necessary in order to make the
trip across the Atlantic for German
submarines worth while.
"It is believed that mercantile sub
marine conveys have been sent and
carry extra tOrpedoes.
american warships are conducting
a ceaseless search along the suspected
shores for any trace Of bases of this
character"

coal was the first subject taken up.
