When It Was . Sandy Desert With .
 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 mountainous regicn, 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.
 \ peculiar sandstone, which geolo- gists have called the Catahoula sand stone, has been studied with care by G. C. Matson and b. 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 tree closely related to the present day Mexican and Gen. tral 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 geologists in the region and the simi- larity of the sand composing the sand stone to certain tropical desert sands have similar implicatiOn.-Geological Survey.

MEXICO's NEW CONSTITUTION.

IF American or British radicals were to draft new Constitution for country controlled by them they would produce a document resemb- ling in many respects that which has just received the approval of the con- vention at Queretaro.
 he e;,. ic principle of the law, that Mexico is to be reserved for Mexicans with al! it's ramifications in relation to ownership and use cf public lanGs and natural resources and opportuni- ties for employment, has found ex- pressica at one time or anOther in the policy of various American States. eight hours are to constitute a day work and there is to be compulsory arbitration of labor disputes, where in barharous Mexico is d step ahead of the United States. Tn the admin. istration of criminal justlce all court costs gre abolished.
 Politically the most important pro- vision is that which relates to the Presidency. There is to be no vice president and no other designated success ,or to the President. When for any other reason there is vacancy i'll the Chiet Magistracy, Congress alone is empowered to act, pending an cleo ton. Recent events such as the ele- vation of Huerta by assassination and enforced resignatiOns by which he gained the title of President, explain tnis departure.
 Excepting some narrow enactments which will inevitably be modified aft rr the heat of the revolution has sub- sided in some degree, the summary of the Constitution received here vindi- cates the judgment of such Americans as have held with President Wilson shat the Mexican people were work ing out their problems and were in the way of progress. They have come thus far through great travail and if the memory of the price that they have paid for liberty survives, they are only at the beginning of their ad- vancement.

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


 Nutty Proposition.
 Leave it to the bewbiskered old boys of science, they of the square specta- cles and ear muffs. and this world will be pulled through it's rather precariOus existence. Some time ago somebody who needed the money wrote an alarmist article for magazine, stat ing that in a very short time-ip fact. within S,OOO,OOO or 100000 years-tfe earth's food supply would be entirely exhausted.
 This set all the scientists going like .yroscopes. and in the dizzy whirl of investigation some very interesting things came to light. It was up to the scientists to find something for the people to eat S,OOO,OOO or 9,0OO0O0 years hence. It was not wholly new problem. Scientists long ago evolved the scheme of saving up timber into breakfast food and said that man could go forth with bucksaw and get enough sawdust out of fence rail to keep himself and his family supplied for some time.
 One learned scientist thinks that he has solved the problem for all time. He says that the nut trees could in a pinch supply food for the entire world. This knOtty question has become a nutty question and one which he has apparently su.rei. Those who are on earth now should be of good cheer. They will not have to starve S,OOO.OOO years hence.-Topeka State Journal

ON THE BRINK OF WAR.

The foreign situation has been further complicated by the sinking of
 the Laconia and this will probably sever tine last tie of friendship be-
 tween Germany and the United States. President Wilson has appear ed before congress and asked for the
 power to arm merchantmen with gun ners and guns from the American navy, and to take whatever measures he deems necessary to protect Ameri- can life and property on the high seas.
 While the Laconia was British ve-
 sel sailing under the British flag and loaded with munitions of war and oth- CT cOntraband, there is little doubt
 but that peremptory measures will hc adopted by the administration to call 9 halt to the German submarine
 blockade
 Obviously such move will bring the country one step nearer to the
 brink of war if not actually bringing about a conflict, but there is still >lignt ray of Inc pc in the situation fo' the reason that an actual state of war
 fare does not yet exist. The terminG- tion of diplomatic relations was T measure but little short of war, and the proposed use of the navy in pro tecting Americans on British ships
 gan be construed as step so near war that the distinction is indeed hard to define. It is a situation somewhat analogous to that which obtained
 when the American fleet made dis play against Huerta at Vera Cruz. This was not actual war. notwith- standing that number of Americans and Mexicans were killed in the con
 nict involving the seizure of the cus- toms house at Vera Cruz.
 Evidently it is the intention of the President to use warships to protec. Americans from German submarines. The possibilities of such a measure are far-reaching. Should an Ameri- can gunner sink a submarine Ger
 many will declare war on the United States; and if a submarine should sink a vessel with representatives of the American navy upoL it the United
 States will undoubtedly declare war on Germany. In fact the arming of
 vessels and sending them into the war zone under duly accredited represen- tatives of our navy is virtual decls- ration of war.
 However. the refusal of the PrcGi- dent to wage war over technicatGes and its policy in waiting for cl2ai- cut issue before taking a step which will embroil the country still deeper in a situation it would gladly avoid will be approved by all but the most ardent jingOists. For the nor" the country thinks about war with it's a.- tendant horrors, the greater the ab- horIen of war become. If it must fight it will fight only vixen eve other method of obtaining peace has failed.
