stance as follows:
Whereas for several years the
price of coal to the consumer has
from time to time been largely in

Whereas for period this increase
In price was attributed to existing
war conditions; and
Whereas In spite Of the fact that
since the armistiee was signed, No
vember II, 1913, normal peace condi-
tions have prevailed, the price of coal
has continued to rise, without any
apparent economic or other proper
reason therefor: Therefore be 1t
Resolved, That the committee on

Evidence of possible long-distance
plant dispersion could doubtless be
picked up on many coasts. n. Colgan
reports TO the Royal Irish academy
that for two centuries observers have
been finding tropical seeds along the
Atlantic coast Of Ireland from Done

West indies without human aid.
Eight species Of fruits and seeds have
been recOgnized-all native or natur-

Old and New Are Mingled.

Bogota, the intellectual and cul-
tured capital city, molder of thought
home of savants and thinkers, Is q
metropolis which, while offering to the
tourist no startling display of New
York or Partisan skyscrapers, boule-
wards or Broadways, claims attention
by reason of the gifts with which ma
ture endowed it Spring is there eter-
nal; the climate Is ideal: the fertility
of the soil surrounding is extraor-
binary.
Bogota conserves vestiges of her
colonial period. Over the portals of
rambling old houses which defied the
ages are to be seen coats Of arms. The
century-old churches. venerable relics
of the past, guard beneath panels of
gold and costly wood collections of
mastery paintings; Byzantine cornices
of arabesque designs abut the granite
pilasters which support arches. and
under dais of wrought gold and silver
the choir lofts are to be seen; long
spiral staircases, massive towers, and
belfry spires stand out against the
clear sky, just as they did centuries
ago.
On the other hand, the tendency to-
ward twentieth century building Is ir-
resistible, and the most up-to-date tai
ent is displayedTin the erection Of lux
urious homes or public buildings IN
Bogota today.
The national capital situated on the
southern side of the Plaza de Bolivar,
resembles the Church of the Madeleine
In Paris. and is considered one Of the
best stone edifices in South America.
Along the entire western side OF the

pure French style, and along the north
ern side modern buildings occupied by
banks and commercial houses; the
