SOME SUNKEN LANDS. Vast Arena Covered by Sea Which Were Once Dry Land. The recent discovery that a group of little islands some hundreds of miles south of New Zealand were once a part of a great continental mass extending in all probability to Antarctica and South America, which finally sank beneath the ocean leaving only these remnants, calls attention to the fact that there are vast areas now covered by the sea which were once dry land. ' The process of disappearance was very | slow. It involved no cataclysm or sud- ' den catastrophe overwhelming all ani-1 mal and vegetable life, but the work ' went on century after century till great surface's were a part of the sea floor. Events often occur that recall such vicissitudes. A little after Chile’s beautiful port of Valparaiso was destroyed by earthquake on August 16, 1906, the । news came that the island of Mas a । Tierra, on whicn Alexander Selkirk was cast away for five years, his un- i happy fate suggesting to Defoe the ■ story of Robinson Crusoe, had sunk \ beneath the waves. The story was incorrect, but it called again to mind the facts that are believed to prove that the Juan Fernandez group, to which this island belongs, was formerly a part of South America. It is not very uncommon for volcanic islands after they have been thrust above the surface to disappear again. The island Krakatau was literally blown into the air by a world-shaking explosion, in August, 1883, and the great wave that resulted, over 100 feet high, swept over the northern coast of Java, drowning 36,000 people. Falcon island came into view above the Pacific nearly twenty years ago. sank again in about ton years and once more has come into view. A part of our new land at Bogaslov, on the Alaskan coast, disappeared after a few years and other land has recently risen in the same neighborhood. Far out in the Pacific in 19<M, near the Bonin islands, a new bit of land rose above the sea and the Japanese raised their flag over it and gave the name of Nushima to their acquisition. It has slipped from their grasp, how ever, for the following year it melted away to nine feet above the sea level and the last vestige of it has now disappeared. Ferdinandea, which rose above the , Mediterranean in 1831, had a similai history with the addition of a humorous element. The whole world talktsl about it, and all the more because England and the King of the two Sicilies disputed over its possession. It came majestically into view on July 8, and about the middle of August it was imposing to look upon as its I broad expanse towered ‘JOU feet above

' the sea. But its life was short. Diplomatic exchanges as to the ownership of Ferdinandea, couched in firm though polite language, were still in progress when the waves closed above the island in December. NEW RABIES SERUM FOUND. Paris Scientist Perfecting Treatment for Severe Casea. Dr. Auguste Marie, chief of the Pasteur Institute laboratory in Paris, ' has been experimenting for several | years with a modified treatment for j advanced cases of rabies, like that of ’ Mr. Marsh, of Brooklyn, and, although he is unwilling to give out details of the results until he makes them known through official sources, he says they are most encouraging. With the I Pasteur treatment, as used since its discovery in 1885 until now, full im- ! munity is not reached until fully five ■ weeks after the first injection is given, s the treatment lasting a minimum of ■ eighteen days. In case of severe bites i on the face the disease may develop in three weeks and even less. Dr. Marie has succeeded in obtaining from a sheep which had been iniI munized against the rabies a serum, : which, when mixed in certain proportions with fresh virus of rabies, renders the latter innocuous when injected into the bodies of animals and men. This mixture of virus and serum permits beginning the Pasteur treatment with the material which secures immunity much quicker than when the ordinary method io used. It is precisely what has been needed for severe cases, and the results obtained within the last two years have amply fulfilled Dr. Marie's hopes. Furthermore, the new form of treatment will be of great practical value in immunizing dogs, inasmuch as two injections rapidly make a dog immune against rabies, and this immunity lasts for a year or more. The new method will be introduced in the New York Pasteur Institute when Dr. Rambaud, who sails on the La Provence today. returns. Dr. Marie having suppl it 1 him with enough of bis serum to fill the needs of the New York institute until it is able to make its own serum. On the Quiet. “Oh. George!” exclaimed the bride of six short months, looking up from th< paper she was perusing, ‘"here is an account of a woman who was suddenly stricken dumb during a thunderstorm. Do you suppose her husband will love her still?” “Sure thing,” replied George. “Any man who wouldn't love his wife still, deserves the happy fate of an old bach‘el or.” „ . < _ — 4 I
