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.

foremost runners at once. 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,

happen in the way of president mak

The Kansas Brand.
Kansans always were a unique lot.
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?
