Structures Begin to Sink
and Engineers Warn
of Peril.

Mexico City.-Mexican architects
and builders believe there is more
than a possibility that this city may
eventually sink back into the ooze OF
the ancient lake over which 1t is built
Indeed, there Is visual evidence that
the sinking process is one which Is
now under way, for some of the more
prominent edifices of the city already
are tilted at a crazy angle and others
Of the street.
Mexico City's 100000 Inhabitants
were startled recently by articles in
Excelsior" in which the sOftness Of
the mattress-like bottom on which the
capital of Mexico is built is discussed
by leading builders. Pictures Of the
gradual sinking Of heavy buildings into
the soft earth are shown, suggesting
the possibility that some day the val
ley of Mexico may again become a
lake with such islands as the Aztecs
found when they built their ancient
capital of Tenochtitlan. However, the
very conditions which may some day
mean the undoing of Mexico City have
in the past repeatedly saved 1t from
earthquake destruction and prevented
the loss Of many lives.
Located in a broad valley at an altl-
tude of 5000 feet and encircled by
mountains, this city is built on a
formation which has been best de-
scribed as a giant mattress.
Pressure Threat Disaster.
But the pressure Of heavy buildings
on this soft earth is now in evidence
in many portions of the city, and more
so in recent years. when miniature
skyscrapers have begun to appear
among the time-worn tWO-stOry struc-
lures. Some of these are we'll below
the level of the sidewalks.
The most notable of these, which re-
sembles the famous leaning tower of
Pisa. is the Church of Loretto, one of
the oldest edifices in the city, which
has sunk on one side to the extent
of several feet. It's tower now in
clines at an apparently dangerous
angle. Another fine structure, the
Cathedral of Mexico. the largest ca
thedral in the Western hemisphere
and a monument of colonial construc-
ton, has partly buried itself in the
earth.
The uncompleted National theater. a
costly building. in which 100000
pesos have SO far been invested, rap
idly is sinking, and desperate efforts
are now being made to prevent 1t from

Washington, D. C.-Out OF Bagdad,
a thousand years ago, came the Thou

Out of Bagdad, via the American
consulate, comes a report based on
observations Of Sir Arnold Wilson

These, says a bulletin from the Ma

"The very names have the tinkle or
temple bells-Oman and Bahreln'
Maskat, Bandar and Bushire-and the
places bear out the exotic promise
says the bulletin.
Maskat, half way up the oman
coast, is one of the most picturesque
harbors in all the world. The town
lies crammed into a narrow valley at
the foot of volcanic crags. The har-
Dor Is lake of deep blue, the houses
stand on the very verge of the water
and ruined Portuguese forts crown the
heights that command 1t on either size.
A gap in the rocks renders life IN

Of the summer months, when the suns

rocks, scorch like an oven.
An Arab Weather Report.
"And if you pick up an Arab travel
writer's account of this you read:
The heat was so intense that 1t
burned the marrow IN the bones; the
sword in its scabbard melted like wax.

handles of the dagger were reduced
to coal. Ir the plains the chase be-
came matter of perfect ease, for the
desert was filed with roasted ga

"And If one asks an explanation of
natural phenomenon he realizes that
the imagination which conceived ALI
Baba still lives in stories such as this:
Solomon was once in the Per
sian gulf in a rowing-boat; he dabbled
his hand in the water, as landsmen
will. and dropped his signet ring. A
porpoise was at hand.
"Porpoise, find my ring" said
Solomon.
"On my head, on my eyes," said
the pOrpoise, and commenced to dive.
After a time he came to the sur
face, Solomon" he said, II can't find
it,
"'"Look again." said Solomon.
The porpOise dived afresh. and
again reported failure.
"'"Look again." said Solomon.
"'Again the porpoise came to the
surface.
Solomon" he said, "it is no good,
/ can't find It," Solomon was wroth.
"'"Go on looking till you find it."
he said, and now, whenever a porpoise
sees a boat, he approaches it, diving
fncessantly because he thinks Solomon
may be on board. When there is no
boat in sight he does not look for the
ring, because he is lazy, like a human
being.
Nature adds bizarre touches of her
own. The Persian gulf is famous for
displays of phOsphOrescence by night
The writer tells of a night when all
around his vessel the sea glowed with
pale blue light; the ripples thrown out
on either side became diverging
streams of lambent flame: the crest
of every wave glowed as though the
sea was afire; around the bows por-

shown with a light that made the

The meeting Saturday night

rolled up, at times great sheet of

would have done as it swept nip

GRAINS DROP TO

All Corn Deliveries Go Below
Dollar.
Rn United Press

CHICAGO, June 29.-Grain fu-
lures dropped sharply to new lows
on the present movement in today's
trading on the Chicago Board of
Trade. On the slump all corn de-
liveries went below the dollar mark.
In late trading September managed
to jump fraction above the dollar.
Good weather over the grain belt
and lower cables were prominent
factors that led to general selling
in wheat. Stop loss orders that
were uncovered on the way down
accumulated the decline. Bulges re-
suited from time to time on liberal
short covering, but they did not
holdy- due to absence Of buying
power.
Corn was under pressure most OF
the day that was augmented by
weakened wheat. Oats followed
other grains to a lower close. Pro-
visions were greatly weakened by
grains and increased offers.
