10 the prevailing winds.
ON the western border of the desert
the sand remains largely inchoate. but
after about Il or 20 miles dunes begin
To appear. and these increase in num-
Der till on nearing the inland fringe,
some - miles from Arequipa, they can
be observed in Serried battalionS aC-
campaigning the railway.
Once formed, the dunes take their
typical half-mOOn shape and proceed
in stately sequence southeast across
the Pampa until they reach some large
obstacle or abrupt change of level. IL
the barrier IS negotiable they adapt
themselves to cross il, the dune pro-
iecting itself into the easiest passes
and elOngating up to the limit OF
its sand mass. once the obstacle is
crossed. the vanguard of the dune
marks time until the rear catches up,
forms once more into a half-mOOE
shape, and proceeds on its way. These
dunes often attain considerable size.
The march of the dunes is assisted
by the sand rippleS whose more eX-
posed surfaces are blown onward by
the wind. The sand climbs the steep
back OF the dune more slowly than the
low salient wings. hence the half
moon shape. Small particles travel ut
relatively high speed near ground level
as far as the projecting points, or
horns, but as soon as they reach them
they are on the lee of the wind and
their farther progress is checked I'M
til the mass of lie dune catches up.
Thus the distance the sand travels
along the points Is dependent on the
maximum height of the back of the
dune, and this in turn depends on the
force of wind.

effective. couple Of men go out with
long-handled spades and a wheclbar-

they proceed to scatter In thin layer

several large dunes scattered stones

q total of 125,639 poles treated in 1915.
This is estimated to be about one-half
the actual number subjected to treat
ment, since large number given brush

Naming of Pennsylvania.

William Penn did not give his own
name to the state of Pennsylvania.
The name he selected for the extensive
territory which he acquired by treaty
with the indians was Sylvania, from
the Latin SILVA" forest, because it
was a heavily wooded country. King
Charles II, who was a personal friend
Of PENIS father, an admiral in the
British navy, changed the name from
Sylvania to Pennsylvania. The grant
covered 3O,OOO,OOO acres of land, and
gave Penn opportunities of acquiring
wealth. but through the dishonesty of
others he spent part of his old age In
prison and died poor.
