Causes Deep Depression in Plateau,

When the railway was opened from
a point near Luxor. into the Lihyan
desert there was rendered easy the
approach of the oasis of khargeh,
which Is regarded as a typical eX-
ample of these isolated centers Of
life. Fer some years British scien-
list and explorer made study of this
oasis. observing the phenomena OF
Springs, moving sands, wells etc.
The Libyan GASES are deep de-
ureSSlons in a lofty plateau which has
maximum elevation Of nearly 2.oo1
feet, hut the bottoms Of the oaSes
are only from 100 to 900 feet above
sea level. They are underlain by beds
of sandstone, whicA are the sources
ce the water supply. Artesian wells
400 feet deep form practically mex
haustible means OF irrigation and such
deep wells have been used from
ancient times. The depreSSionS were
once the beds of lakes. and the water
in the sandstone probably has its
sources in the AbySsinian highlands.

Taxation Will be the bis question De-

sion Of that body. In some Of the funda-
mentals there is n radical difference or
opinion between the two leading parties
the Republicans and Democrats, 70
which they will never be reconciied. and
on which they will never agree.
But on the contrary, there are many
questions Of taxation on which both
parties may agree. because they are eco
monte and not political. And In West
Virginia today the taxation problems
are not political but economic. There
fore there should be no disagreement
between the two parties which Will con-

the Republican senate and the Demo-
cratic house OF deleGates-and politics
should be kept In the background Tor
the good of the state. The good of the
state rather than partisan advantage
should govern the actions and votes OF
the members OF both parties. If this
view be taken the state will reap the re-

legislation OF which II Is undoubtedly
In need at this time.

championship tonight, receiving
the judges decision after fifteen
round contest with Midget Smith,
also of New York, at Madison
Square Garden.
Smith failed in his game bid for the
bantam title because OF his inability
to penetrate Lynch's rangy, clever de-
Tense. The challenger was on the
aggressive most Of the time. but ex'
cept for occasional swings that mo-
mentarily shook the champion, he was
unable to land effectively.
Lynch fought cautiously. At times
his defensive tactics slowed up the
fight, but in several rounds. notably
the thirteenth and fifteenth. he traded
punches with the challenger on even
trms. He kept out OF the Midget 8
reach with his long left. jabbing with
whip-like swiftness to the jaw and &C.
casionally shifting his attack TO the
challenger's body as they came to
grips. He cut Smiths mouth with this
lab in the second round, and kept a
steady stream OF blood flowing for the
rest of the bout.
Neither boxer, scored knockdown,
although Smith once slipped to the
floor as they were mixing furiously at
one time.
Smith seemed a trifle off form as
