Under the constitution the secretary
Of state will soon make publication in
the county newspapers of the state OF
the constitutional amendment sub
mitted to the people at the November
election for ratification or rejection.
There are two of these amendments,
one is to take the trunk lines OF high
ways out OF the hands Of supervisors
of the 50 counties and put them un-
der the jurisdiction Of the State High
way Commission, in order that Mis-
sissippi may share In appropriations
for the building and maintenance Of
roads from the federal government,
and the other is to abolish the offer Of
county treasurer in the 50 counties OF
Mississippi. Indications are that both
amendments will be ratified.

SnIendid Memorial.

A living memorial, distinctive and
majestic, and different from any other
that has been dedicated since the
World war, was unveiled recently in
Yosemite National park. says Popu.
lar Mechanics Magazine. 1t is a tab
let of bronze set at the base of one
OF California's famous big trees. This
giant of the forest, towering above
the ordinary timber that surrounds
it, stands henceforth as "a memorial
to the unknown dead" who gave their
lives in the great war. A peculiarly
fitting ceremony marked the unveil.
ing of this tablet. Water from tie
cryStal-clear stream of the Merced that
flows through the park was sprinkled
upon the tree and the tablet, TO sym.
bOliZe the purity of the devotion Of
the men who died in the war and the
rock at the foot of the tree on which
the tablet was placed was taken as
symbol of the permanence and
strength of the principles for which
the men fought, and the tree, which
Ii is hoped will live through gener-
atiOns, was cited as emblematic of
the living and growing gratitude Of
the nation for the supreme sacrifice {
made by its sons in the war.

Use for Forest Waste.

Many persons at one time or an
other have been struck with the waste
Of material that is permitted in Amer.
lean forests as compared with the
care of Europeans, rs a rn!e, TO make
use Of every last twig that falls. Worth
noting, therefore, is the news item
from the Pacific coast which shows
that fallen timber In some of the for.
ests out that way is to be used ex-
tensively In the manufacture OF grape
stakes for California vineyards. One
order for these stakes will require, we
are told, 100 freight cars for its trans
portation, but the best thing about II
is that It will reclaim cedar trunks
that have been on the ground for
years. Tho difficulty about such
reclamation in general is not SO much
In finding down stuff" that Is sound
enough to be useful as 1t is In dis
covering a use that will make recoy'
cry profitable.

OLDER THAN NEW ORLEANS
Ancient Records Show That Town OF
Natehitoehes Has Right to Claim
Earliest Settlement.

Early in the history of Louisian;
the French and Spanlards as to which
nation should occupy the region be
tween the Red and Sabine rivers
About the close OF the Seventeenth
century the Spaniards established a
post at Adayes Cor AdaiSe), on the
east side of the Sabine. and in II1.i
Governor Cadillas sent Juchereau de
st. Denis to establish post at some
point on the Red river Martin, the
historian, says that the expedition Of
st. Denis was for the double purpose
of finding Il vent for Crozat's goods
and checking the advances of the
Spaniards, who were preparing to
form settlements In the neighhOrlIood
of Natchitoches." ST. Denis left a few
settlers AZ Natchitoches, but II was
not until 1Tl7 that a permanent fort
was erected there, which makes Nat.
chitocheS a little older than New Or.
leans, Dumont describes this fort as
"A square palisade, where a little gar.
rison was kept rs barrier against the
Spaniards." A Catholic mission was
established about the same time. The
people, few in numbers, were not able
TO employ n resident priest, and for
some years they were attended by
Father Stanislaus came in 1765, and !
the humble mission developed into the !
cathedral church of ST. Francis, which /
today is one of the historical Catho |
lie landmarks of the nation. During /
the French and Spanish domination /
Natchitoches was an important trad
ing post. The Spaniards from the west
of the Sabine would come back with /
pack mules heavily laden with pei
tries, dried buffalo tongues, silver
from the Mexican mines, etc, TO eX-
change for dry goods and other neces.

SOUND THE OCEhI
Scientific Investigation Is Now
Going On.
strong Probability That the Wonders
Of the Deep viii Be Revealed
Very Shortly.

Difficulties encountered In dec2.ser
sounding are disclosed by a marine
engineer writing in the London (Eng'
and) Daily Mail.
Deep-sea sounding OF late years. he
/ says. has become very exact science
When ship Is thousands Of miles
rom land the real work begins. To
I sink lead TO a quite shallow depth
S the easiest thing In the world. But
when 1t comes TO working In miles,
sailors are brought up against very
liiserent problem.
Even today nobody knows exactly
where the greatest depth exists, for
the simple reason that no instrumen!
at present invented can reach the hot.
tom in the deepest parts. A theory
accredited by scientists is that he!o"
certain depth solid matter refuses To-
sink, because the pressure of the water
is so great that specific gravity Is over
come.
II is widely held that when ships
sink in the deepest parts Of the ocean
they never reach bottom. but noat
about suspended in the water at
depth below which their weight Is
not sufficient to take them. The
greatest depth which has been sounded
up TO the present is just over five
miles. But it is thought that parts Of
the ocean are perhaps four times as
deep.
In this branch of nautical service
wonderful instruments are used. At
tached to the leads OF tie saunders.
which weigh seventy pounds and are
suspended on piano wire, are specially
constructed cups, which close auto
matically and bring up samples Of
the oceans bed. They are provided
with a dial, upon which the depth
touched by the leads is AT once rec
orded, and are in use In all ocean
going cable ships, which must OF
necessity determine OF what the ocean
bed consists.
Time after time ships working In far
seas have seen no record of solid |
matter reached by reading the sounder !
dial, because the leads are not suf' |

All records may very soon be broscir
by the Shackleton expedition TO the |
Antarctic The grab sinker which they |
will use can be employed at depth
of seven miles. What will be found
nobody can say. All existing theories
may be exploded, but 1t is certain that
some interesting data will be forth
coming.
Naturally, deep-sea sounding is es-
sentlaI from many points. Fog is the
seaman's enemy Suundings must be
taken to avoid disaster. Formerly the
leads used were smeared with tallow.
Many interesting specimens were
brought to the surface, but nothing Il
known of the flora and the fauna that
exists at great depths. Hence tie
constant attempts to discover better
apparatus.

The pecan crop of the Nuevo Laredo
district of Mexico for the 1921 season
is estimated roughly at between $50
and 300 short tons, as against 900
short tons In 1920. A marked falling
off In value, as well as production, is
also expected, due to the large crops
in Texas. The Texas crop VIII be
drawn on first, no doubt, before the
Mexican production is touched.
