TOOK ODD BELIEF FOR FACT
Description by Aristotle of Birds That

Gus Reading Today.

Aristotle was one of the greatest
minds of all time. His philosophical
deductions and reasoning powers have
never been surpassed but like many
another great genius he often made
the mistake of accepting common sup
positions for truth. He was not him
self an observer, and his dependence
upon the observation of others often
led him into ridiculous errors. He
wrote in this fashion concerning the
phoenix, fabulous bird which never
existed.
The Ethiopians and Indians tell US
of birds of varied coloring and indie

ROCKS THAT PUZZLED DARWIN
Great Naturalist Could Offer Mo Ex-
PLANTATION Of Peculiar Land Off
South American Coast.

To the average reader the name of
st. Paurs Rocks is unfamiliar. The
average geography and map make no
mention of st. Paul's Rocks. They are,
of course, uninhabited. The little
known island or rather group, lies one
degree above the equator and $40
miles off the coast of South America.
In the entire breadth of the Allan.
tic there is probably no land so re-
mote. The Rocks measure only about
1,40O feet in length and some 100
feet in width. There is no harbor
worth the name the only entrance be-
ing narrow inlet but few feet in
width. AS far as the records show.
it has only been visited two or three
times in the last 50 years.
The most famous visitor ito the
Rocks was, doubtless. Charles Darwin,
who landed there and made mi
mute Investigations. His description
of this visit is contained in his book
on volcanic islands. Darwin decided
after careful investigation that the
Rocks were not of volcanic origin
They lie much too far south to have
been part of the fabulous continent
of Atlantis. In his report Darwin
says that the island was composed of
rocks unlike any he had ever seen,
and adds that he was unable to char
acterize them by any name.

Remarkable Mountain Of Sand.

In the great desert regions of the
Southwest there is remarkable
mountain Of sand. The behavior Of
it mystffied the early settlers who in
the days Of 40 followed the old trail
from Yuma to Los Angeles. The noun
tain was constantly changing form.
The first pioneers mentioned it to
their friends. as landmark by which
they might guide themselves On their
way into the new country, but it
changed it's appearance so rapidly that
many Of them failed to recognize it,
wandered from the trail and were lost
in the desert.
People discovered later that it was
the strong winds that from time to
time sweep across the desert that
made the mountain act in so queer a
way. When the wind blew 1t shifted
loose sand from one spot to another,
