ROCKS THAT PUZZLED DARWIN
Great Naturalist Could Offer No Ex-
PLANTATION Of Peculiar Land OF
South American Coast.

TO the average reader the name Of
average geography and map make no
mention Of St. Pauls Rocks. They are.
of course, uninhablted. 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 700
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 so years.
The most famous visitor to 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 a 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.

An interesting picture of life In

who made research expedition there

Antarctic explorer who had settled
down as head Of a Norwegian whaling
station on the island. Below my soli-
tary tent" the correspondent writes,
"the grassy bank sloped sharply to a
milk-colored glacial stream entering
an inlet Of the sea only so yards away.
A quarter of a mile across the inlet
stood the perpendicular front Of a
beautiful valley glacier, coming down
between peaked hills from the lifeless,
silent interior. Penguins bObbed out
Of the sea below the glacier and were
my most interesting callers, for their
curiosity could not resist human be-
ing. Sea elephants crawled uncon-
cernedly up the stream below me and
went to sleep among the hummucks
on the beach. Above the tent. on the
plateau of the little promontory, seven
pairs of albatrosses carried on their
,ourtship and nesting, along with
giant petrels, skuas kelp gulls and the
pretty little antarctic ttlarks, the only
land bird of the Far South, whose
cheerful song was almost the sole
hOmelike sound"

Remarkable Mountain Of Sand.

In the great desert regions of the
Southwest there is remarkable
mountain of sand. The behavior of
II mystified 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 1t to
their friends as landmark by which
they might guide themselves on their
way into the new country, hut 1t
changed its appearance so rapidly that
many of them failed to recognize 1t,
wandered from the trail and were lost
In the desert
People discovered later that 1t was
the strong winds that from time to
time sweep across the desert that
made the mountain act In so queer
way. When the wind blew 1t shifted
loose sand from one spot to another,
built new domes and pinnacles and
destroyed others, until within short
time the whole mountain presented an
entirely new outline against the sky.
