| - ~ PAOLOildlGd ulNGIS6 che
nellassleme formano come tanti
ofganl idralici-...- Ora, associando
queste vlsloni questi rumori,
moi avremo la spiegazione dele
leggendarie sirene.
Negli altri porti dele coste sir
tiche, Gabes, a Zardos, a Tri-
poll, la pesca dele spugne viene
pero praticata in modo assai piu
semphce. Essa vien fatta col tri-
dente, come duemila ami sono.
Ire o quattro uomini Sc ne vanno
su una fluza. Due remand dolce
mente, il padrone della barca 81
slede davanti, con la tesla avvol-
ia in una tela nera, e figge il suo
sguardo di cormorano nellie pro-
fondita piu recondite dell'acuua.
A un suO menomo cennO la bar
ca 81 ferma, un uomo gil porge
un tridente ed egli 10 scaglia con
Iun colpO secco e tira su la povera
/ spugna come una tesla infilata
nella punta di una lancia.
A volte, il fondo del mare e
motto profondo: allora, al triden-
te viene annodata una cordicina,
ed e sovente dodici, quindici,
a venti metri sott'acqua che un
able "raids" deve colpire la sua
vittima.
La prima volta che 10 vidi del
peScatori di spugne fu a Tripoli.
Ire uomini seminudi correvano
sulla spiaggia tenendo in una ma
no un tridente e nellaltro, inf
late in una cordicella d'alghe,
dele cose rotonde, gone e mi
serevoh. EranO tire greci con lie
loro spugne. Ma in quel momen-
to 10 credetti di vedere uscire dial
fondo del mare tire Nettuni Wit
toriosi calichi di un trofeo ac-
quatico, di una messe di teste di
sirene stillanti dale ferite fire.
Sche del Sangue marino.....
E quello no nera certo il solo
miraggio di quelle contrade mito-
logiche. A Gabes, Ulisse e i suoi
compagni furono vittime di ben
attire illusioni! Non credettero
essi, forse, di aver mangiato il
frutto dell'oblio, il frutto di quel-
Palbero che, da secoli, botanici e
storici 81 strizzanO il cervello per
ritrovare p. | famosi zolofagi
non erano che bevitori di lagmi e
i marinai del re di Itaca 81 erano
.semplicemente ubriacati. L'erro-
re di Ulisse, del resto, e perche
il "lagmi", che e il succo, della
palma, facilmente fermentabile
ed eccessivamente inebriante, 81
raccoglie appunto come datteri
sulla vetta della palma, da una
"fontanella owe il succo affluisce
come da un pozzo artesiano.
E gil argonauti che cercaronO
in quei luoghi il favoloso vello
d'oro, non furono essi pure in
gannati dalla immaginazione di
un poeta che canto il brivido del
lie mimose in fiore?
E quei miraggi esistono tutto-
ra.-... Per quanto increduli oggi 81
sia, moi subiamo ancora il fasci-
no delPAfrica, moi incontriamo
ancora dele Nausicae che lavano
i loro lini sulle rive degli "ua-
di". Uno zufolo di Gamma che
GENE dietro gil oleandri ci ricor-
da tuttora il dolce lamento di ar
monia, nei vapori del lago del
Tritone moi vediamo ancora ga
loppare lie Amazzoni..~

p AST HISTORY LINKS WITH
 AMERICA
(By Associated Press)

BERKELEY, Cal, Dec. 15.-The past history of Europe and Asia. in the long-vanished Pliocene Age. has at last more closely linked up with that of America. The clock time for the Pliocene period has now been reg ulated by Professor John c. Merriam of the University of California, by comparing the extinct animals of the Old World with the extinct horses. camels, rhinoceroses, bears. hyenas. elephants, and tigers he has discover ed in the rocks of Mount Diablo. the region west of Tulare lake. of the MoJave desert, and elsewhere in Cal ifornia and in Nevada. Oregon. Wash lngton, and Idaho. Professor Merri- am maintains that extinct Hipparion horses, which in Pliocene times roam ed the valleys of California, must have crossed over to Asia by an old land bridge, now sunk beneath the sea, because their descendants flour ished later in the Old World, as prov ed by the presence of Hipparion hors- es. in the Schansi and Honan beds of China, in the Pikermi beds of Greece, and in the Maragha beds of Persia. So, also. the rhinoceroses of the Dhok Pathan beds of India descended from the same ancestors as the Teleoceras rhinoceroses found in the Rattlesnake beds in Central Oregon and in the Thousand creek beds of Northwest ern Nevada
The Cordova daily times., 1917-12-15

In California exists a monument of the whole Pliocene Age, unbroken and complete, such as has been discovered nowhere else in the world. This is the Etchegoin-Tulare beds. a smgle group of deposits on the western border of the San Joaquin valley. in which is paralleled the whole history of the pliocene age in Europe. Asia. and the whole of America These Etchegoin-Tulare beds are more than ten thousand feet in thickness. This means that they represent so vast a stretch of time that the waste of erosion was washed down into the sea until this water-carried material had piled up to a depth of ten thous. and feet.
