IN what is now the Sahara Desert. in
the Algerian salt swamps called
Shottel Jcrid. He has proofs that
convince you. Atlantis, referred to
by many ancient writer's, may have
been an oasis in n desert, but it is
probable that the salt marshes Of to.
day were once an ancient sea, with
"fablcd Atlantis" rising above il.
Mountains now stand where tho
oceans bottom once was. The chalk
cliffs of England were manufactured
by marine animals, then pushed up
above the water. The surface of this
earth has risen and fallen, like bread
in an over.
Machine building is the only thing
that human beings do really we'll at
this time, including machinery 20 kill
each other. Amazing is a new ma
chine soon to work for tho Edison
Company in New York. described by
Arthur Williams in radio talk. One
single turbine will cost nearly S2,.
100000 and be twice as powerful us
any similar unit in existence. Tween.
ty years ago that machine would have
supplied enough light for all New
York.
This giant turbine. weighing more
than a million pounds. eats up 1000
pounds of coal every minute. but
uses it SO economically. on power
production. as to save far more fuel
than it actually consumes.
The real solution Of material
problems is in mans mechanical
genius.
The farm bloc tells the admins
tration that the Republican party
cause it defeated the farm bill. The
Presidents friends say nc has in
mind good farm plan, in place of a
bad plan defeated. He wants to cs-
tablish a $1,000 900 government
agency to stabilize distribution and
prices Of farm products and climin-
ate waste.
The farm bloc will fight against
thHt, and the 1928 situation is more
complicated.
The French debt settlement will
be delayed because Britain urges
France not to settle with America
until she has arranged her debt with
Britain. CaillauX has shown, BIZ his
treatment of Bercnger, that he does
not think much Of the proposed
American settlement anyhow.
There is a difference between the
French British and the Frcnch-U. s.
A. debt. French fighters. ut the be-
ginning Of the war, held the Germans
back from the Channel. and probably
saved Britain from visit by the
Kaiser. British billions we're lent to
France to save Britain. Uncle Sam,
on the other hand, represented in
Europe by President Wilson, was a
sort Of international easy mark, lend
ing to anybody. No one will suggest
that this country was ever in dan
ger Of German invasion. We were
just "casy."
In Alabam:t G. W.. jackson breaks
the worlds record by swimming forty
miles in salt water in eighteen hours,
a wonderful achievement. But think
Of the mysterious cells. The, start
from anywhere inland in the United
States, wriggling up from their
fresh-watcr ponds. Curiously guild
ed. they find their way across the
fields, travel down creeks and rivers
to the ocean, then to the Sargasso
Sea. and there they breed.
The young cells return to the
country from which their ancestors
came. some going to Europe, some
to America.
That is real swimming, and n
real mystery. Who, or what, tells
baby eel to get from the West
Indies to Sweden? What power
tells the eel, in a stagnant New
Jersey pond, how to reach its bresd-
ing ground in the Sargasso Sea?
Instinct is too easy an explanation
and does not explain.
Herr Gustav Bocss, burgomastcr
Of Berlin, sets an example to all Of
ficials. He speaks frequently in dis
tant cities, and visits many places to
study new ideas. He has applied for
flying machine, to save time, and
will be his own pilot.
