ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

| Instantly his neck stretched out un
til It looked like the tail of kite.
(which hill did your last button
fly over?" asked Juggle Jump of the
cook
"That one" said Puff, pointing to
It high hill in the distance that
looked like a mountain.
"Then that's the way we shall CO."
said Juggle Jump. "Come, Twins"
And off he started, doing goose
step in his anxiety to be gone.
The Twins said goodbye to the
Fairy Queen. thanking her for her
tea, and promising to find as many
OF Puff's lost buttons as possible.
Then they followed Juggle Jump
who was moving very fast by this
time.
If they hadn't had the magic shoes
which the Fairy Queen had given
them, they never would have been
able to keep up. But the magic
shoes were SO marvellous that each
step they took moved them forward
about hundred yards.
Before many minutes the three
travellers stood on top of the high
hill over which Puff's button had
gone.
81 thought So" said Juggle Jump
soberly. nodding his head up and
down like China mandarin. "This
is the Land of the Movies. That but

place."
"That sounds all right" said Nick.

"Oh, but this is different" said
Juggle Jump. "They haven't NOV
ing picture theatre in the whole
place. This is the land where every
thing moves all the time. Nothing
ever stops-not even the street cars.
The people never go to bed, but take
their maps on roller skates, and even
the clocks wiggle on the walls. If
you 90 beyond that fence, you also
will have to keep moving. And as
Tor the button, it has probably rolled
ten miles since it arrived. Just wait
q minute and I'll see."
Juggle Jump pressed the button on
his coat which said Stretch" In
stantly his neck stretched out until
it looked like the tail of kite. And
Juggle Jumps head was off in the
distance looking down into the new
country.
Then he pressed the button which
said "as you were," and his head
came back with snap like a rolled
up tape measure.
That's right" he said. 81 made
no mistake. It really is Movie Land.
But you have magic shoes and II

EVOLUTION

SEA LIFE
BY CHESTER H. ROWELL

This is written in mid Pacific.
Three miles straight down is the
bottom of the ocean. A thousand
miles further on, it is still three
miles deep.
Out of that bottom rise the vol
canic Hawaiian Islands. The process
Of their making is visible and is not
yet finished.
On the easternmost island the lava
is still flowing, and the island is
still enlarging.
There are two forms of lava, the
"pahoehoe" and the "a-a," which the
rains disintegrate into soil at diff
ferent rates. From flows whose date
is known, the rate of disintegration
is known.
The same rains gradually wear
down the outlines in which the de-
posits are originally made. On the
island next further west, the lava
has stopped, but the rains have
made only minor alterations in the

Where the Individual Does Not
Count


Score one more for the Pacific.
The Albatross expedition found the
famed Sargasso Sea, in the Atlantic.
relatively poor in both animal and
vegetable life, but, going into the
Pacific, it found region teeming
with specimens; plankton of every
variety, from microscopic diatom to
tiny crustacean; small creatures
preying on these, and larger on
these, up finally to the great sharks,
sea lions and whales, whose car
casses, in turn, consumed by big and
little, made the whole cycle over
again.
On the border of two currents,
warm and cold, all these were con-
centrated, in unexampled richness.
There is strange fierceness in
the sea. All the creatures in it are
cannibals, and none of them ever
lives to die a natural death.
Each one spends its whole life
pursuing and being pursued. and
only one in a million lives to have
offspring. That one begets a million
descendants, so the race survives.
The individual does not count.

Az we go on westward, the rains
have done their work more and more
though these islands are less, not
more, rainy-until on the western
most the still volcanic soil has no
volcanic outlines.
The only rational explanation is
that the islands were made by the
process that is still going on, in
time that can be computed from it,
and that the western islands are
older and the eastern ones progress
lively younger. This is the testimony
Of the rocks, in one Of the few places
on earth where the process is uni

that anyone can see and understand
It.
The time, to pile the islands up
three miles from the bottom and
other three miles to the tops Of their
highest peaks, and for the rains to
form the soil and erode the outlines,
is enormous.
