On the basis of reports and photographs received recently from its field office in Idaho, the geological survey, Department of the Interior, announces that the land disturbance near the Salmon Falls river, in the vicinity of Buhl, is a landslide of the gradual, modified type known to geologists as a landslip. The reports refute the theory that a "sink" had developed ' in the region. The performance is neither supernatural nor mystical, nor is it without precedent, the geologists declare. Land will continue to settle by either the landslide or "sink" methods until the underlaycrs of the earth are definitely located, set in place, and established, maybe 5,000,000 years from now, maybe 20,000,000; even geologists are uncertain. River's Performance Explained. Idaho's performance is explained in detail. The Salmon Falls river, southern tributary of the Snake river, has cut a rather canyon into the silty beds of the Snake river plains. The river undercuts the canyon walls from time to time and large masses of earth break away, some of them settling in the bottom of the canyon and others on the sides. The blocks that break off are of various sizes, and as they begin to break cracks appear at the landward edges. In the case of large blocks, these cracks may sometimes be several hundred feet from the edge of the canyon. This appears to be the case in the phenomena at Buhl. Sometimes a great block may slide suddenly in one avalanche to its final resting place; more frequently it moves a little at a time, settling gradually into its new position. Movements of this kind may result directly from undercutting of the base of cliffs by streams or from irrigation which soaks the sjil. Citing other land demonstrations within the memory of this generation, the geologists recall an occurrence near Sharon Springs, Kan., on March 9, 1920, when a tract of good farm land 350 feet long and 250 feet wide suddenly collapsed and sank to a depth estimated by early visitors to be 200 feet or more. The cause was assigned to a cavern developed In the underlying chalk beds. House Swallowed in Virginia. Some years earlier, August 10 to 12, 1910, a series of three "sinks" developed in the streets on the outskirts of Staunton, Va. One small frame house was engulfed, a neighboring brick house was partly destroyed, and a fire engine house was partly undermined. This, as well as the Kansas catastrophe, was attributed to "sinks." Also the "landslide" has produced some memorable and outstanding disasters, the repeated slides during construction and early operations of the Panama canal being most familiar. In that instance the Culebra cut was bordered by rocks of volcanic derivation, rendered unstable by frequent wetting and by the steep sides of the cut. Similar slides occurred in the valley of the Gros Ventre river, 35 miles south of Yellowstone National park, on June 23, 1925. Heavy rains and meeting snows in the mountains had saturated clay layers and a mass of rock estimated at 50,000,000 cubic yards slid suddenly down the valley with such force that it piled up 350 feet against the cliffs on the opposite side and partly slumped back again. The slide dammed the river and produced a lake several miles long. The dam partly gave way in May, 1927, and caused a flood which swept down Snake river, carrying away bridges and causing loss of six or seven lives. This disaster occurred in the Snake river plain, the same region as the present Idaho steep-walle- d The "Cargo Liner" The expression "cargo liner" was coined to describe vessels whose major business is to carry fruit and general cargo, but which also provide excellent accommodations for 45 to 150, passengers.

The German capital, a metropolis of more than 4,000,000 people, recently donned holiday attire for a week when a jubilee exposition, a historical pageant, and a series of theatrical performances absorbed the attention of residents and drew thousands of outsiders to the city. "Berlin grew cut of two fishing villages on the banks of the Spree river Coelln and Berlin," says the National Geographic society. "Berlin's first mention was in 1244. Although Coelln was then seven years old, and it is really from the founding of Coelln that the modern Berlin is dated, the younger of the two villages, for reasons unknown to historians, gave its name to the city which rose from them. Assumes Importance. "The two villages, consolidated in the Fourteenth century, gradually grew into towns and in the Sixteenth century were favored with the first touch of governmental importance. It was then that the Elector of Brandenburg made the city his official residence. But even this distinction did not boom Berlin; it was not unn til the close of the war in 1870 that it leaped into prominence as one of the world's leading cities. "At the time of the death of Frederic the Great, census enumerators could count only 150,000 inhabitants. A few decades later there were nearly the 4,000,000 that one finds in the capital today. Berlin grew itself, and while it grew, small towns were rising beyond its city limits. Gradually these were absorbed in Greater Berlin. Business Spreads Over City. "Look down upon the German capital from the air today and you will be amazed by the vastness of the city. Its heart is where the Friedrich-Strassand the Unter den Linden meet at right angles. From the intersection a network of avenues and cross streets leads to the east to the Spree and, beyond. To the north and west the network extends to Berlin's principal park, the Tiergarten, which because enjoy its fresh air, has been called the lungs of the city. Industry Flourishes. "Industry and trade flourish in the capital. The business district is a constant scene of animation during the day. But Berlin also is a city of pleasure, for many of those who make it an industrial and commercial titan while the sun is high, spend the remainder of their waking hours in the city's amusement places. There are 118 theaters and .many cafes where tired workers seek diversion. "Berlin differs from many large cities of the world in that its busi- -' ness is not confined to a certain dis- jtrict, leaving other districts com mercially lifeless. Spreading in ev-;ery direction from the central axis of Friedrich - Strasse, Wilhelm-jStrassand Unter den Linden, are ('quarters' bristling with activity, each with its own peculiar character. Here is a block entirely de voted to the banking business, another block houses the clothing industry, while others are occupied by newspaper offices and exporters.

Man wouldn't recognize the world through any other animal's eyes; if GASOLINE he had a cat's eye he could never learn to read; if he had a rabbit's he couldn't tell his wife from a tree stump unless she moved, only apes, owls and a few others have sight that could ever distinguish their own photograph from a piece of spotted paper. When fish turned into land animals millions of years ago, one of the first things they had to learn was how to weep. As Nature made bigger and more complicated animals she began groping around to improve their sensibility to light. The first step appears in the jellyfish, which has an "eye spot." This is only a tiny cluster of thickened nerve endings. This eye spot cannot distinguish color, shape, or distance of motion, but it can tell differences in degrees of brightness. Nature's next improvement was the eye socket. Eye spots were easily injured things and the simplest way to protect them was to drop them into little depressions surrounded by a ring of tougher material. This defensive development was the beginning of the eye socket, and at once gave the creature a sense of direction. 20 GAL.

In the conversation which followed her sympathies were deeply touched, and when he said he would greatly appreciate a cup of tea like his "dear, departed wife" used to make for him, the old woman lit the oil stove and prepared to make the tea.

In Holland, however, notes a writer in the Chicago Tribune, it would be simple. Naanlooze Vennootschap means "Inc.," which is the abbreviation of "incorporated." The British and Canadian "Ltd.," which stands for "Limited," and means the same as "Inc.," is more familiar. In France it is "S. A." for "Societe Anonyme." The Italian, Spanish, South American, and Mexican companies also have "S. A." for their tag. Germany's designation for "Incorporated" is "A. G." of "Aktien Sweden's "A. B." is "Aktie Bolaget."
