CHILE GIVES
 BOLIVIA WAY
 TO THE SEA
After Forty Years Inland South American Repub- lie Will Again Have a
 Seaport on Pacific

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Chile has ceded to Bolivia a strip out to the Pacific ocean, the land being north of Africa, and giving Bolivia an open ing to the Pacific for her trade. The principal Bolivian port on the Paci- fic as a result of the cession will be Tacna, capital of the Province of Tacna and the largest city in Chile north of Iquique.
 Before the war in which Chile de feated Bolivia and Peru, 1S79-81, the provinces of Africa and Tarapaca. the chief cities and capitals of which were Tacna, Africa and Iquique, were Peruvian territory, while Bolivia had outlets to the sea at Tocapilla, Cob ija and Sotomayor and the inland towns of Calama was Bolivian. The result of aggression. Peruvian first and Bolivian second. shut Bolivia from the sea, making it an inland nation For more than 30 years Boli- via has sought through peaceful means to secure an outlet to the Pacific, and early in his administra- ton President Wilson suggested that Chile as a mark of friendliness and in the interest of good feeling in South America give Bolivia that which she craved. The cession of Chile's northermost possessions, for meriy the Peruvian Province of Tao na, has been made in that spirit.

ICE DISAPPEARED
WHERE METEOR FELL

TOWANDA, PENN. Feb. 20 (by
maiD A search for a missing me.
teor, conducted by the United States
Geological Survey, has ended in the
reservoir of the Towanda Water Com
pany. incidentally it has enabled the
company to account for the sudden
disappearance of its ice crop on the
night Of January %.
On the afternoon Of the meteor's
flight local officials visited the reser.
voir and decided to cut the eight-inch
crop of ice the next morning. During
the night the meteor landed in the res
ervoir. When workmen went to har.
vest the ice It had dwindled to scant
three inches, due, 1t Is asserted, to
the heat OF the meteor warming. the
water in the reservoir.
The reservoir will be drained in an
effort to find the meteor.
