Islands Swallowed
Up by the Ocean

London,-Has the Pacific Ocean
swallowed mysterious Easter Island?
1t was feared in London that the
recent Chilean earthquake shook Eas-
ter Island from its foundatiOnS-and
that this most isolated island on the
globe has disappeared forever.
Islands do vanish-sometimeS for
overland apain they'll reappear,
steaming hot, from the ocean depths.
The DAILY Mail" records several
remarkable phenomena of this char
acter.
Falcon Island, near the TongaS, was
first seen in 1885, this newspaper
points cut, but no sooner had the map
makers settled its position, than it
disappeared out of sight beneath the
waves Yet its cliffs Were at least $50
feet high.
In 1898 it rose again, steaming hot,
but since that date it has again disap-
peared.
Then there was Bermeja, good Siz-
ed iSlet in the southern part of She Gull
Of Mexico. 1t was no upStart like Fal-
con Island. but had been In existence
for many years. In 1901 cruiser
engaged in charting could find no
trace of the island. There was not
even reef left.
In 1S41 Captain Dougheyty reported
an island about half way between New
Zealand and Cape Horn, great rocky
ridge seven miles long and 800 feet
high. Twenty years later the island
was described for second time 6y
Captain keates.
In the present century, the DiScOv-
cry sailed right over the spot former
ly occupied by this island. What IS
more, Soundings revealed a depth Of
1000 fathoms, or nearly three miles.
MetiS is another Pacific island which
vanished in similarly mysterious fash
ion. In 1880 it was great mass OF
rock, at least $50 feet high, but twenty
years later nothing Of it remained
above the surface of the sea.

Planning To Bring
Zeppelin to U. S
lnY United prcss.l

Berlin, Dec. 1.-THE 10000 subic
meter Zeppelin now being built for
the United States navy at Friedrich
shafen in Southern Germany, will
attempt to complete the flight to its
hangar at Lakehurst, in seventy
hours. This will include actual fly
ing time from the Zeppelin works in
Friedrichshafen over Spain, where a
short stop will probably be made,
thence across the Atlantic to Lake
hurst.
The giant ship viii be propelled
by six motors with a total of 1900
horse power. A commission OF
American naval experts will make
the flight from Germany to the Uni
ted State aboard the ship.
The relative value of the finer
gems places the ruby first, then the
diamond and the the sapphire.

Two theories Of the killing are be-
ing considered by the authorities. One
is that Pollard shot the girl, follow
ing a quarrel, pribably on the belief
that she was about to killhim. The
other theory, and the one in which
the detectives are inclined to place
moro credence, is that the young wo-
man was shot accidentally during a
struggle for possession of the pistol
which is said to have belonged to her.

Dot over the FIRE. After an hour
of boiling the wax had melted and
risen to the surface. The berries
were strained out, and the water

it was strained. Then the candle
