Trip to South Seas - Greatly
iVdds to Knowledge of
Fauna and Flora
BAN FRANCISCO. The U. S.
S. I Ortolan, minesweeper detailed
by Secretary Wilbur for tempor
ary duty with the California
Academy of Sciences, has return
ed here from a trip S of several
months to islands off the west
coast of Mexico, whither it took
a ' party of scientists. . The expe
dition . brought back many rare
specimens of birds, plants, fishes,
reptiles, fossils and Insects for the
museum of the academy.
The party, in charge of Dr. G.
Dallas Hanna, curator of paleon
tology In the academy, sailed Ap
ril 15. bound particularly for the
little known . . Revillagigedo Is
lands, 400 miles west of the Mex
ican '.mainland. ,. -
f'One of the most striking col
lections made," related Dr. Han
nal "was of fishes about the coral
reefs of these Islands. Here
abound great numbers of gaudy
and1 grotesque species showing
close relationship to the fishes of
. Hawaii. .These species are slow
swimming and persistently live in
shallow waters. The question for
the ichthyologists to answer Is
hqw did they get where1 they are.
Vast a by as ma l depths separate
the Revillagigedo islands from all
other known land. Can It be that
these volcanic peaks , are ' the
above-water remnants of a form-
- er "continent or archipelago now
lost beneath tlie waves? ; - y
"The deep: canyons of Socorro
Island are' heavily .forested and
here we found a veritable botan
ists' paradise untouched by human
bands. Strange trees, flowers,
vines and shrubs were on every
side. Among the trees' was one
'which Immediately attracted our
attention because of the large
number of parrots and other birds
whlchj-were feeding on the fruit.
Our Mexican companions Informed
us that they knew of no similar
fruit in Mexico and thus far it has
not been learned even . to what
family it belongs. It is about the
else, shape and color of a ripe
bltve but there the similarity
ceases, because the pulp is sweet
and delicious. It was verr nse-
fm to m on some of our long
Journeys overland, where all food
and . water had to be carried on
our bacVs. A sufficient supply of
seeds of the tree was brought back
for experimental purposes. '
"We found the region about the
IB
Revillagigedo islands inhabited by tended funeral wherein the grand
many whales, mothers and young, daughter was cast for the chief
Just as our fathers did la the early role Is current teahouse gossip,
days of whaling. They called the t.m w affianced to Mon
place the Cow Pasture for that
reason.
"A spring ot fresh water was
re-located on Socorro island and
marked In such a way that hence
forth It can be readily found. This.
the only fresh water within hun-
dreds of miles, was first found by
Col. Grayson, a California pioneer
who was wrecked In the Island In
1869. While getting ! his scant
supply of water ashore from his
stranded vessel his; Mexican boy
noticed a small land bird drink
ing from a tide pool, j Investiga
tion showed a' large spring of ex
cellent water flowing! out of a
laya wall below high tide line,
and the lives of his entire party
were saved thereby, j Although
he. described the location of the
spring and printed it in 1872,
many people who searched for it
after ' that failed to find It."

After conclusive tests the auth

that are either macadamized or

wood pulp has been dissolved, they
become coated with a resilient
substance which holds the dust
down even in heavy traffic. At

bit sticky, but as soon as the liquid
Bas evaporated the residue forms
a brown coating that In many re
spects excels crude oil or any tar-
lite substance. The slight odor1
also disappears very quickly. In
