TIME remarkable sand dunes of the
Peruvian desert have attracted
the attention of every visitor to
this arid region. The striking
feature of these formations Is that
they slowly but constantly shift their
position, always in the same direction.
In the Geographical Journal of London,
W. S. Barclay thus describes and ex-
plains these travelling sand dunes.
Although the majority of the duDes

which they take their origin is no.
ticeable elsewhere along the Peruvian
coast. One Of my most vivid recol-
lections on the steamer voyage along
the desolate coast from Lima to Mol
lendo is a vision, against the early
morning sun, of great flame-colored
hill that seen through the coast fogs
presented almost the appearance CT a
city on fire. This flame effect was, as
I afterwards ascertained, due to sand
and dust blowing across its upper
ridges.
Starting from Mollendo the railway
winds its way up the deeply eroded
fianks Of the coast hills. The hot air
rising from the desert keeps back or
dissolves the clouds which attempt to
make their way across the Andean
crests to the sea, and rain is reckoned
to fall on this coast not more than once
in seven years. When this occurs, how
ever, its erosive effect on the soft,
loose soil Is striking. Watercourses IL
to 20 feet deep are cut In few hours.
One of these rare phenomena had ta-
ken place few days before my visit
1t does not pay the railway, when con-
structing its track, to allow openings
for these infrequent cloudbursts, and
one sees in consequence solid earth

sometimes a mile or more on the up.
side.
Wind That Forms the Dunes.
On reaching the Pacific fringe Of the
Pampa, or Desert, del Sacramento, af-
ter an ascent from the coast of some
1000 feet, one begins to feel the wind

ally advance over or threaten the rail-
way line. The method of avoiding the
threatened obstruction is simple but
effective. A couple of men go out with
long-handled spades and wheelbar-
row and collect loose pebbles and grit
from the surface of the Pampa. This
they proceed to scatter in thin layer
over the back Of the unfortunate dune.
The pebbles arrest the action of the
ripples and so interfere with the even
circulation Of the sand particles, which
Is apparently as essential to the prog
ress of the dune as the circulation of

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or callus so 1t lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on O
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn OF
hardened callus loosens so 1t can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain
A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corr
or callus. This should be tried, as II
is inexpensive and is said not to irri
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezon'

of the dunes. The general direction
Of this wind is from the northwest,
being caused by radiation from the
desert surface and the consequent in
rush of cooler air from the Pacific.
1t blows at about 20 miles an hour on
the hard fiat surface between the
ridges. The wind starts as soon as
the desert warns up and increases in
violence with the rising temperature,
attaining it's maximum force between
2 p. m. and sunset.
The conglomerate bed Of this desert
Pampa is chiefly formed of the follow
Ing constituents, in order of their i'm
portance: Quartzite, tufa, gypsum, di-
orite with iron and pyrOXin crystals),
and quartz. The whole is packed and
blended by the gypsum which has run
into and filled fractures made perpen-
dicularly, thus facilitating weathering.
The tufa Is found in beds also in the
neighbOrhood Of Arequipa, and is cut
into blocks for building purposes.
They ring when struck like well-burnt
bricks. The quartzite forms the main
mass Of the hills surrounding the des-
ert. 1t weathers into brick-red oxide
on the surface, which gives the desert
its tone, making the slaty-white sand
dunes noticeable by contrast. The
quartz is infrequent. Diorite is in
terspersed in the conglomerate, but in
angular form, showing no signs of wa
ter wearing; it must therefore be at
tributed to volcanic ejecta. The ge-
nesis of the sand dunes is best seen
on the Pacific or western fringe of the
desert, where the winds are eating
away the conglOmerate ridges (possl-
bly, the remains of an ancient higher
leveD, which run out from the quartz
ite hills in a direction at right angles
to the prevailing winds.
On the western border of the desert
the sand remains largely inchoate, but
after about Is or 20 miles dunes begin
to appear, and these increase in num-
ber till on nearing the inland fringe,
some 25 miles from Arequipa, they can
be observed In serried battalioqs ac-
companying the railway.

Charles w. Fenton, commandant of the
officers training camp at Fort Myer,

Lieutenant Colonel Fenton has

men the Importance of thinking for
themselves and being original.

LEADER IN SPANISH POLITICS

Count Romanones is accounted by
men who are in touch with the ex.
traordinarily tangled Spanish politics
as the most powerful individual N
Spanish politics today. He is in his
early fifties. He entered politics when
he was thirty-two years old, and since
then has been a member of seven gov
ernments. Time after time he has
held Office because even his political
opponents conceded thar he was the
one man who could handle the embar-
RAISING situation of the moment. His
return to power is confidently pre-
dicted by his friends.
Romanones is not of great stature,
but compactly built, and evidently a
man of great physical strength. Al
though a member of one of Spain's
greatest families, he is extraordinarily
democratic in manner and candid in
speech. His personal character was

in stately sequence southeast across
the Pampa until they reach some large
obstacle or abrupt change of level. If
the barrier is negotiable they adapt
themselves to cross 1t, the dune pro-
jecting 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-mOon
shape, and proceeds on its way. These
dunes often attain a considerable size,
measuring up to 80 yards between the
points of the horns.
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 the 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. The stronger the wind
| the higher 1t will force up the sand
particles in direct right angle to the
axis Of the dune, |. e., to line drawn
between the horns. The shape of any
given dune Is therefore the result of q
perfectly graduated balance between
the wind force and the floor level. The
railway track in crossing the desert
shows an average rise of slightly over
J. In 100, so that although their shape
Is governed by surface variations the
dunes are on the whole marching up
hill.

SOUNDS LIKE FABLE
But IS REALLY TRUE

In 1889 La Crosse county farmer
decided that his ordinary "beef and
milk" COWS were not paying, and so he
purchased the best pure bred sire he
could get of the breed desired and
mated him with his herd, which was
of mixed breeding.
By keeping careful records he found
that the COWS resulting from the first
cross produced the first year on the
average Of 212 pounds Of butterfat.
By continuing the use of pure bred
sires of the same breed he increased
this amount to a 26S-pound average at
the end of the ninth year. In 1913, in
his herd of 25 milking COWS, none pro-
duced less than 400 pounds of butter
fat and several produced 600 pounds.
