raised the Rocky mountain region above
the plains. By these 1rth movements
the strata along the foot of the noun
tains were tilted to a vertical position
and finally dislocated or faulted, so that
enormous blocks were moved many
thousand feet from their original posi-
ton. To this faulting is due the abrupt
ness with which the mountains rise
above the plains. The curious pinnacles
near the gateway to the Garden of the
Gods are simply the upturned and erod-
ed edges of resistant strata that were
dragged into vertical position by these
disturbances. The geologic diversity of
the region is increased by the fact that
during Tertiary time volcano existed
a short distance west of Pixies peak. and
that during the ice age the summit OF
the peak itself was covered with gla-
ciers.
The folio also describes briefly some
of the semiprecious stones which are of
fered for sale to tourists and for which
the Pixies peak region has long been fa-
nous among mineral collectors The re-
port concludes with description of the
coal deposits of the quadrangle, the ce-
ment and building stone materials, the
soils, and the water resources.

Germany in Brazil.

Germany does not include Mexico among
the countries she would like to use for
her policy of expansion. She remembers
the fate of the late Austrian emperor's
brother. Enough if Mexico can be made
a catspaw TO pick chestnuts for the kais-
er out of fire in the United States. But
the possible use of Brazil is another
story. The German colonization Of south
ern provinces, Rio Grande do Sui, Par
ana and Santa Catharina, is notorious.
1t has been carried on for a number of
years most systematically. The move
ment is not that of immigrants acting
of their own volition, leaving the land
of their birth for personal reasons, and
deciding for themselves on country of
which they shall become citizens. 1t is
an organized movement, carried on by
colonization companies, and the colon
lists are men who form ride clubs and
would make good fighting force under
the German flag. They number already
nearly 100000 And now it is reported
that the Hamburg Colonization company
has further scheme to colonize, with
Germans only, portion of the country
between Santa Catharina and Rio Grande
do Sui.
While denouncing this design, ex-Dep
uty Corrira de Freites makes the re-
markable statement that, prior to the
defeat of the German army in the bat
tie of the Marine, the German colonists
we're planning TO demand the incorpora-
ton of southern Brazil with the Ger
man empire under the name of Ant
arctic Germany in such a project there
IS nothing inherently improbable. The |
government of Brazil has a grave prob |
lem on its hands in the character of the |
German -colonized provinces. Nobody be
ieves that their inhabitants would stand /
Tor Brazil against Germany if they had |
% choose between the two. This may
be one reason why the government is
protesting so theoretically against Ger
nanv's submarine operations. The Bra
.ilians of Portuguese descent seem TO
.hink that it would be wise to bring
he Germanic trouble in Brazil to a head
,efore the German colonies are strength

OF GREAT SCENIC BEAUTY.
Is Region Embracing Pixies Peak and
Garden of the Gods.

| One of the most interesting localities
in the United States to the tourist as
well as to the prospector and to the geol-
ogist is the region embracing Pixies
peak and Garden of the Gods The great
scenic beauty of this region, which has
made it the yearly Mecca of thousands
of tourists, depends not only on its lakes
and streams and on the forests that
clothe the lower TANKS of the mountains.
but on the steep, rocky canyons and on
the great mountain masses of bare rock
that form so prominent feature of the
landscape. AT the foot of Pixies peak,
which towers l4,l09 feet above sea level
and 5000 feet above the plains to the
east, lies the Garden OF the Gods the
charm of which is due largely to the pic
turesque pinnaeles of red sandstone,
carved by nature into many fantastic
shapes, that rise abruptly from the sur
face of the plain.
Because of the dominant part that
geologic agencies have taken in shaping
the scenery of this famous playground a
complete and authoritative account of
the geology is of especial interest. Such
an account has just been published by
the United States geological survey, de-
partment of the interior, as the Colorado
Springs folio folio 203l, by George !.
Finlay. This folio, which is the latest
addition to the great geological atlas of
the United States that the survey is
making contains topographic and geo.
logic maps OF the region; presents de-
scriptions of the rock formations, the
mineral deposits, and the water re-
sources, and gives the geological history
of the area in relation to that of the
region. In addition to the
maps of the Colorado Springs quadrant
gle, published on scale of half an inch
to the mile, the folio contains large
scale map az inches to the milel of
the Manitou quadrangle, which includes
Pixies peak, the Garden of the Gods, and
the city of Colorado Springs. The folio
is illustrated by many photographs of
the natural wonders of the region and
particularly fine panorama of
Pixies peak and the adjoining mountains
Of the Front range.
The rock formations of this region

Estimated Food Supply

"The weather conditions during the
growing season of 1916 were unfavorable
in many parts OF the world. They were
distinctly unfavorable in this country.
Although there was large wheat gore
age, the weather conditions were such as
to favor the appearance of the black rust
disease affecting wheat. The conse-
quence was that although the acreage
was large the yield was relatively small.
The conditions were not especially favor
able for corn and for some other impor-
tant crops. Still the food output on the
whole for the current year was not so
small as to excite alarm. The corn crop
was 1900 900 900 bushels, nearly the FIVE
year average. The cat crop was above
the iye-yesr average, the barley very
nearly the fiveyesr average, rye 10000,
900 bushels more than the fiye-year aver
age, and rice 40.OOO.000 bushels, az

lies, giving a case where he was ca.ied
on TO baptize two boys, twins, whose
births. strangely enough took place N
different years. One was born on I've.
cember 81, about IN the evening. and
the other on January /, IT 4 a. N. The
parson mentioned that he had added
special note in the registry to he ef
feet that these were twins, so that no
doubt about the matter should subse-
quently arise.
Mrs. Webster, in the parish Of Holy
Trinity, Ipswich, gave birth to twins
in March 1915. One child, a girl. was
born at 10 p. m, on the third # the
month and the other at p. m. the
next day. These were both girls: and
here also the rector made speaial
note Of the curious circumstances ahd
attached IL TO the bsptismal entry.
But no case Of this sort really equals
the record Of the workman's wife at
Barrow. a small village near Clitheroe.
Lancashire. who a year or two ago
gave birth on February "a to a son, and
then, six weeks later to a day. gave
( birth also to a girl. These, say many
medical authorities who examined this
extraordinary case. were undoubtedly
twins, and the surgeons of Queen Char.

whilst agreed on that, an stated ih7t
in their opinion, the thing was abso-
lutely unique in the annals Of twins.
