Sand Dunes In GasconY.

One of the most interesting and re-
markable of the many regions for the
observation of SAND dunes lies between
Bordeaux and Bayonne, in GaSc0ny.
The sea here throws every year upon
the beach, along line of 100 miles In
length, some 100000 cubic yards of
sand. The prevailing westerly winds
continue picking up the surface par
ticles from the westward slope, whirl
them over to the inward slope, where
they are again deposited, and the entire
ridge by this means alone moves grad
ually inward. In the course of years
there has thus been formed complex
system of dunes, all approximately
parallel with the coast and with one
another and Of all attitudes up to 30
feet. These are marching steadily in
ward at rate of from three to six
feet year, whole villages having
sometimes been torn down TO prevent
burial and rebuilt at distance

AUSTRIA STILL STRONG,
SAYS RETURNED CAPTIVE

Rome. Aug. Aristide Sartoria,
the famous painter of the Roman CAIN
pagna, has just returned from capti7-
ity in Austria and disposes, for the
time being at least, OF reports concern
ing the political disintegration Of Aus
tria a probable revolution due to the
scarcity OF foods, a separatist move
ment and the possibility Of defeating
Austria in any other way save on the
field OF battle.
SartnriO, az the outbreak Of the war,
was among the first 10 enlist for ac-
tive service. He was wounded and
made prisoner early in June, 1911
while on q recommending expedition
lie has now arrived here with large
number of inyalidcd prisoners after
spending two years at the Mautnausen
Concentration camp.
The painter said he must dispel the
dangerous belief prevailing in Italy
I that Austria is exhausted or nearly So.
The truth is quite otherwise" S9r,
torio said In order to win We must
summon all our energies and make a
supreme effort against a foe neither

Speaking OF what he had seen while
crossing German and Austrian terri
tory. the painter said
In Bavaria we have seen signs
which tell a different story from what
you read in the Entente press. From
the train we had for a whole day the
view of beautifully titled lands which
promise an unusually rich crop o.
cereals and fodder. Beside, in eyery
station we beheld vast quantities q
war material, especially ammunition
and well equipped, prosperous looking
soldiers.
The same can he said of Austria

ON THE AUCTION BLOCK

It will not do to regard Bulgar- ian representations too seriously. Our Minister at Stockholm has doubtless had some interesting con gersatiOns with his Bulgarian col hague, and ir is probably true that Bulgarisn diplomats elsewhere have dropped hints that their august sovereign, Ferdinand, would be glad to get out Of his cO-partner- ship with the Kaiser, But all this s to be taken with a large grain Of salt. The truth probably is thaf Bulgaria is once more upon :Te auction block. Her ruler long since acquired the rpeutation of be- ing the most astute international SrSder iE Europe; and, up to the tine Of the first Balkan War, in 1912, hs had managed to secure large benefits, in territory and power, without ever firing a shot. h the olden days he used to play off the Turk against the Powers of tRe CoRcert-and always to his ad- TsptaEe, h like mauuer he play ed the Entente off against the TeutoniC Alliance in those shame TuI days when each was seeking to get him into the war on it's side. At length the Kaiser outbid his rivals snd Ferdinand came down on the Huns side Of the fence. Now, finding the situation irksome, he is ready Co trade once more. If the Entente appears generous, he will use that fact to screw up larEeE concession from the Kaiser. IL is 8 sordld business, ill which Do well informed person will be deceived, AA
