PORTO RICO HAS VALUABLE SWAMPS Land Rich for Sugar Cane Is Govered New York, Aug. 13 (P--Sugar cane | worth millions of dollars could be produced on swamp land now lying below sea level in Porto Rico. This swamp of 10,000 acres was discov- ered by Dr. H. A. Gleason, curator of the New York Botanical garden, who recently completed an ecolog- ical survey of the island. Dr. Gleason said tential wealth would need a sys- tem similar to Holland's dikes for drainage and pointed out that in this and other now drainage might be carried out with windmills because of the constant winds.

Dr. Gleason’s ecological survey conducted in cooperation with the insular government, constituted the first complete study of the plant life By Tom Sims A = — seco for vards Antique hunte and possibilities of Porto Rico. He also belleves that this sunk- en land once sloped down to the ocean. #At some prehlstoric time,” he as- serted, “it was dry land sloping down to the north shore. Along that north shore a great ridge of sand was piled up by the wind and in the course of time gradually consolidat- ed into rock. “Then the land began to sink, the ridge of rock was brought down to the level of the ocean, and the waves pounding away at it for thou- sands of years finally broke the gaps in the rock and let the ocean through.” Plant Life Differs Great differences in the plant life on the north and south sides of the island were discovered, although the island is not more than fifty miles wide at any place. This was ascribed |2 to the variation in rainfall, which averages sixty to eighty inches an- nually on the north and only half that much south. While the swamp is prevalent along the north shore, the south shore was found similar to the deserts of Arizona and Mexico. Serubby thickets, cactus and cel tury plants were found along the south shore, among them being cac- ti which climb trees. The Palo de Pollo, or “Wood of Chicken,” also received its first scientific notice. Shooting out large buttress roots the trunks at the base often attain a circumference of a hundred feet ,from which rises a trunk about a foot in diameter and fifty or sixty feet high.

Queen’s Big Red Car Damascus—Queen Marie mania started something among the French officers of the garrison at Damascus when she sold that giant red automobile, in Paris last fall. The queen after an extended tour- ing trip in France sold the car to the highest bidder. 1t proved to be the Ministry of War and in due course the auto was shipped to Damascus. While a ing for modest car, the correspondent ers here heard three te from officers desiring a car. “ big red car!” e aimed the garage keeper, “the big red car. they all want the big red car.
