where, according to Plato and other
ancient writer's, Atlantis al situated.
They described it not as a continent,
but as a very large island. west Of the
Pillars of Hercules. which was their
name for the Straits of Gibraltar. This
description is confirmed by the new
maps, which show the plateau to be
about $50 miles long and half as wide.
It's surface is extremely rugged and
mountainous Gas proved by so%undings),
and nine Of Its highest peaks rise even
today above the surface of the sea.
Their tops form the archipelago OF
islands known to US as the Azores
If. this idea be accepted, it would
seem that Atlantis is not wholly lost.
Even o a few submits of it's lofttest
mountains remain above sea level and
afford places Of habitation for man
kind. The Azores are Of volcanic.
origin, largely composed of eruptlve
lavas, and on them are volcanoes not
vet extinct, which within recent cen
turtles have belched destructive fires
All of which perfectly agrees with
the story tradition tells--that Atlanns
was a very mountainous island, With
steep cliffs fronting the ocean along It's
shores. And the volcanic character OF
the Azores today rather strikingly sus-
rests a reason for the sudden sub
mersence. Only ninety years ago there
was u somewhat similar happening IN
the Mediterranean, where an island ooo
miles in circumference was thrown up
from the sea bottom between the south
west coast of Sicily and the ancient site
of Carthage on the African coast.
After rising to a height Of 200 feet IT
sank and disappeared:

and weighing the chicks. In almost
all cases they wore undcrwcight.
Weights vary. Of course, according
to the kind of chickens reared. One
hundred Leghorn chicks, weighing
eight pounds when newly Matched,
should tip the scales at $50 pounds at
the end Of the ninth week.
The experts say that chicks should
double their weight every two weeks
until they weigh one pound. They
should have plenty of dry mash, scratch

Will Lost atlantis Rise Again From the Sea?

RECENT exploration Of the depths Of
the sea has furnished undeniable
evidence to support the romantic story
OF Lost Atlantis-the wonderful land
which is said to have a%nciently existea
IN mldocean, and which, according to
the tale, sank beneath. the waves, to-
gether~ with its cities and their in.
habitants.
Inc new oceanographic maps appear
to show Atlantis as a now submerged
plateau rising abruptly from the bot.
tom OF the sea, about 500 miles due
west from Gibraltar. At all events,
th's plateau occupies exactly the place

said to Be pure Greek, and it has many
words derived from the AssyriaQ. Thus
it seems more than, possible that At
lantis was a source, of immigration into
America. and that it may have af.
fcrded a stopping of place for early
European emlgrants on their way to the
New World.
A traveller wandering through the
well. nigh impenetrable forests Of Yucca
tan or elsewhere in Central America is
apt suddenly 10 find himself ON a broad,
we'll. paved rad, over which in places
trees many centuries old are growing.
Following it, he sees before him the
ruins Of a vast city built of hewn
stones, with splendid palaces and tenn
pies. The road has been worn deep by
the passing of multitudes Of feet during
bygone ages, but>now nobody goes along
it unless an occasional ragged native.
All is desolation hopeless and profound.
The temples and palaces are the homes
Of the iguana and the centipede.
The ruined pyramids Of Yucatan, the
architecture and ancient sculptures of
Mexico, Bolivia and Peru, are most
strikingly suggestive of Egypt and the
Assyria Of thirty: Ave centuries nso.
Very likely a similar culture in At
Iantis produced buildings and art works
of corresponding character. hut in
whatever light these things are viewed;
the obvious inference is that the early
civilizations Of those parts Of America
came from the east.
Curiously enough, the ancient books
of the Aztecs contain many references
to an awful catastrophe which swal.
lowed up a country far out in the ocean
toward the east. Probably we should
have more definite and satisfactory
statements i'll regard to it if the Span
ish priests had not made a business 4
destroying by fire all Of the Mexican
historical and other literature on which
they could lay hands.
Atlantis is no more. The ocean has
swallowed it:
