Then the three, from intense excitement and susiensc, were silent, They knew not that the bed of tho railway had been moved, and that tho hand that reached in and took them belonged to a little girl who was digging for relic.

Kldridge, of the United States Geo logical Survey, hat been engaged ia a careful examination of the petroleum fields of California with a view to discovering tho source of oil. Theso fields lie in the Coast Range and alongside the great Central Valley of the State, but thus fur their chief development has been south of tho parallel of San Francisco In order to locate their source it hat been necessary to study the general geologic fea tures of the Coast Range and Cen tral Valley, and especially the oil bearing formations themselves and the structural conditions in the areas in which they are found. Although the work is yet incom lete, several important results have been established, one of which is the presence of petroleum of from 11 to 12 degrees Ha'ume in a series of strata at least 25,000 feet thick. A second result of the in vestigation is the separation of this series, on litholngic or paleontologic grounds, into nearly a dozen dis tinctly rccognizuhlo formations, chiefly of Tertiary age. It is im portant to note that petroleum was found under many structural con ditions, yet nearly all seemingly in harmony with the anticlinal theory. The technical and economic uses of tho California petroleum, par ticularly in its application as fuel, will al;o be considered in the course of the work as planned.

The lot of a present-day Robin son Crusoe would be an enviable one, in so far as material neodd are concerned, provided bis wreck was that of an average ' passenger steamer. Possessing less ability than even an ordinary artisan, he could erect a modern house and install lighting and heating appa ratus, electric light and bells. The ship would provide furniture, house hold fittings, books and pictures. He would be sure to have at hand several bicycles. Further search would reveal plenty of clothing and linen from the stores of the best known ailors and haberdashers, together with many bales of cloth, from which he miglil replenish from time to time his large and comprehensive wardrobe. For his daily sustenance he might prepare, if he to willed, menus that would be gastronomic lyrics, supplemented by costly wines and liquors. For the space of a year and probably longer, he might live as luxuriously, main taining all the conventions, as any man in any of the five great capi tals of the world. For his diversion, if he had any love for sport, he would find fish ing tackle and nets and gum suit able for the execution of large and small game, In fctormy days the modern Crusoe might interest himself in doors with his books. At night he could draw his curtains, and with Lis room filled with the soft light of candles set in silver candelarba, reflect on the wonderful etrides of ft civilization that enabled him to gratify lilt slightest desire.

Dismal Hwamp Is found to be Higher than tho Surrounding Country. The United States Geological Survey has recently issued a spec ial map formed by combining a number of topographic sheets, pre viously published, of the country surrounding Norfolk, Va. The sec tion covered by the new map, konwn as the Norfolk quadrangle, includes Fort Monroe, Newport News, Hampton Roads, Norfolk, and Portsmouth, and extends for about 4 miles south of the North Curolina line; it also covers a large area of the Dismal Swamp. It has been compiled with great accuracy .and minuteness of detail, even the houses in the country districts being located on it, and is of more than ordinary interest in indicating the topographic features and the in equalities of relief by a system of contour lines. A striking peculiarity of tho Dis mal Swamp is clearly brought out by the map, which shows that the surface of the swamp stands- from 7 to 11 feet higher than the sur rounding country, and the unusual phenomenon of streams draining out of it in all directions is observed. The detail of the map is enriched by the addition of ocean soundings and descriptions of the marine bottom. Astounding Discovery.
