EARTHQUAKE BUREAU URGED eis olot0 t Want an Internatlonal .1oe0ty to Cope Wtth 2erhN. I PrO04or Herbert H. Turner, who 0ccp0 the chair of astronomy at Ox. . ord ulverity, Professor John Milne, the famous 8esmokgtst, and other .udin; English scientists have seized the opportunity odered by the San Fancisco earthquake to urge the es t4blishment of an international organ Isation to seek means for coping with seismic perils, says a London special calio dispatch to the Chicago News. It Is Professor Turner's belief that Wder and mare careful observation will determine the times and places of Varthquakes and enable people to take precautions for the preservation of life nd property. He says that, although little encopr agement hitherto has been given out side of Japan, the seismologists of that country have located the chief danger points of the globe and have ascertain ed that earthquakes are apt to happen coincidently with the accelerated rota tion of the earth due to exceptionally heavy spring tides. Professor Turner says that if the nations co-operated in promoting seismologic study these gen eral discoveries would be followed by the more specific and more definite knowledge necessary to forecasts of the highest human and commercial Value. Professor Milne, who established the seismic survey of Japan, embracing 968 stations, is the foremost student of earthquakes in England. He has lo cated forty ojtervatorles at important points, so as tcover the world, and has carried on the correspondence re quied to keep them in communication with one another and to co-or;1inate the records. He has called attention to tho fact that at the Imperial univer sity in Tokyo a platform has been con structed on which models of masonry, wood and -metal have been subjected to seismic shocks. He added that this platform had been to the builders of Japan what the testing tank dockyard had been to the constructors of ships. The result Is buildings which stand earthquakes that would raze ordinary structures. The professor says that Germany is embarking in a large way on seismologic investigations and that the matter cannot longer be neglected by other countries. It is expected that a great meeting of scientists will shortly be called to force the question upon the attention of the British ministry. WEIGHING OF THE EARTH. Amerlcan SeIentists Will Use the Great Pyroanid In the Job. Twentieth century science is dissatis fled with the accepted figures of the earth's weight, says The World Today, and Americans are planning to weigh It again. The last time It was done was more, than half a century ago, when, under Airy's direction, pendulums were swung at the top and the bottom of an English coal pit. The comparison of their times of swing showed how heavy the whole earth was compared with the outer most thin shell, a shell of the thick ness of the depth of the coal pit. Since geologists were able to give a fair esti mate of the weight of this surface shell the weight of' the entire earth became a mere matter of multiplication. The same experiment Is to be repeat * ed by a scientitle expedition from the ~'survey department at Washington. Pendulums are to be swung at the apex of the great pyramid of Egypt and in the chambers at its center and base. From the swig of these pendulums the comparative weights of the eartht and of the pyruamid can be0 learned; and, the weight of the pyraid( having been estimated, the weight of the earth will again be a mere matter of multi plication. Canadian Boy a Kina-. A strange story recently camne to, light about a young OntarIo boy, and It is to the effect that he has become a king among the South Sea islanders, says an Ottawa correspondent of the Chicago Chronicln. ils name is Thomn as Darling, and he Is the son of a small farmer at Sparta, Ont. It seems that he had a fancy for going about without nny clothes on, although sane and ra tional upon every other subject. HIe went to Hlonoluh1, but was transported from there to San Francisco on ac count of this fad. Hie was a studlent at Stanford univeraity for awhile and Swas known there as "Barefoot Bill," and when ho was expelled from there on account of his queer antics about clothing he went to Tahiti and has now become a virtual king among the South Sea isigtnders.

The old Roosevelt guard still believe that cIr cumstances may compel him to once more outer the arena, notwithstanding his positive assertion to the contrary on the night of the election and several repetitions of the same. In addition to all these there are di vers dark horses-some of them very dark-champing their bits and tugging at their tethers in their stalls. It would not perhaps be overstating the case to say that there are a score of these, Republicans and Democrats, and when one remembers James K. Polk, Frank lin Pierce, Rutherford B. Hayes, Ben jamin Harrison and James A. Gairfiold, the dark horse in a presidential nomi nating convention Is not to be sneezed at. He has won five out of thirty races and it will be no surprise if he should win in the next one. There are many nen who would make tiptop presidents it they could be elected, some of vhom never spend one moment thinnlug about it, and the strange part of it Is that such men ha.ve one chance out of six of be ing sent to the White House as chief magistrilte of the proudest and most powerful nation under the sun. Fate plays fantastic tricks with men and only the stupid will be amazed if some man now comparatively unknown suo coed Theodore Roosevelt March 4, 1009.

The' Republicans of that state pulled off their convention lately, and, as usual, many queer things were said and done. For instance, Governor Hoch, who is accused of trying to kiss ex-Goveruor Stanley's wife, was re nominated with a whoop. But it was on the tariff that.the Kansans showed at their worst. State Chairman Stubbs. who was fighting Kisser Hoch's renom ination, in calling the convention to order was moved by the spirit to make a speech and said inter alla, "We know that the gre:atest robber in the country today is the great steel trust, made possible by an unreasonable protective tariff." That was the keynote to Brother Stubbs' remarks. It was clear and ear compelling. A Democrat could not have' stated it more luminously What's more, it's Democratic doctrine. Perhaps Stubbs was speaking that way because he thought that way. Perhaps he was doing it to worry Hoch the Kisser and his whoopers-up. Perhaps he was trying to stampede the conven. tion to himself, thinking that the collo cation of words "Goveruor Stubbs" would look -well in print and would fIll the trump oi fame. Not being in the conIilcere o,' Chairmnan Stubbs, I can niot state definitely what his motive was, but whlenm he spok~e of "au unrea sonable protetive tariff" making the steel trust possible Stubbs hit the nall squarely on the head and talked more sense thn ia usual with Kansas Re piubl icans. But Stubbs' thunder was in the in (dox only. What he saidI seemed to mean b)usinIesst, but when the iplatform committee spoke It said1 this pitiful thing in the nature of a straddle, "Its protectiv~e 1policy provokes controve rsy only between revisionists andl stand patters." The old ostrich caper over again. "Controversy only between re visionists and stand patters!" "Only!" Ask Secretary Shaw an1d Governor Cumnmins what they think of the con troversy "only" between revisionists and stand patters as a bagatelle. They could give these bleeding Kansans sonmc valuable pointers as to the force and meaning of the word "only" in that connection.' To a mere looker on in Vienna it ai pears that ex-U:nited States Senator William A. HIarris, the Democratic nominee for governor, ought to beat Hoch thet Kisser out of his boots on such a platform as that. There is no sort ->f trouble to prove that Stubbs was correct in denouncing the steel trust as the premier robber of the age. made possibile by an unreasonable pro tectivo tariff. When coupled with that statement Is the further fact that the Republicans made and maintain that unreasonable protectiv-e tar-flY, It is clear that they made the steel trust possible, and1 it 1s equa1flly clear that they (d0 riot intend to remedy the situ ation. Sensible peop)le ev-erywhiere know that tihe only relief fr'om trust and tar'ifY exactions must be obtained by D)emaocrats. Now, mark you, Mr. Stubbs, chairman Kansas Republican state committee, deonounices the steel trust as the greatest "robber," etc. Now, robber is an awful word when Democrats apply it to any schedule of the D)ingiey bil), but what shall be done with anmd to the beloved1 Stubbs?
