Case Of EARTHQUAKES.

The whole question of the causes of
volcanic eruptions and earthquakes and
their relation to each other is one upon
which scientists are still a good deal in
the dark. That one is the result of the
other is not generally believed, though
they seem to be manifestations of a
common cause. It is curious fact that
while earthquakes are most frequent
where volcanoes are most numerous, the
most destructive earthquakes have not
as a rule been in volcanic regions. An
instance of this was the famous earth
quake at Lisbon in the last century.
That in Calabria, on the other hand, Just
100 years ago, is supposed to have been
connected with the disturbances at Yes
uvius. The present commissions in Java
seemed to have combined the charactris-
ties of both earthquake and volcanic
eruption and will be regarded with deep
interest by scientists. 1t being pointed
out that Mallet's theory-that the near
ness of the sea is necessary both in earth
quakes and volcanic eruptions and that
the outbreak of igneous matter under the
sea generates and condenses vast bodies
Of steam which excites volcanic centers
fits into the disturbances in Java and
at Ischia. But Mallets theory seems to
be simply the statement of the fact that
volcanoes have been active agents in the
formation of continents. As lands have
been thrown up from the sea the interior
volcanoes have died out, and those which
now exist near the sea-board are but
the expiring fire of the forces which have
shaped the earth, and may yet, like the
moon, assist in its decay Mallet's the
ory would therefore seem to be no the.

A Street Full Of MilIionaires.

No street in the world, perhaps poss-
esses more value to the square foot than
Fifth avenue, New York, the abode of
so many millionaires The figures as
taken from the textbooks Of the current
year show that. the city derives a revenue
of over 81 100000 a year from this one
avenue between Eighth and Eighty-second
street. The total amount Of the figures
printed s49, 10000, it being forty per
cent. less than the actual value Of the
property. Taxable property is sup
posed to be assessed at sixty per cent.
of its real value. at which rate the esti-
nation of the tax department officials
place the actual value the property on
Fifth avenue, not including that which
is exempt from taxation. S69, 1923, 500.
These figures, however, only take in the
property from Washington Square to the
end of Central Park: and in many in
stances the records of portions of asses
sable property could not be found on
the tax books by the reporters.-Ne,c

Grant and Ward.

The friends of Gen. Grant throughout
the country may be interested to know
| that his private affairs are in flourish
ing condition He has one-fourth in
terest in the banking firm of Grant q
Ward, which has an original capital of
$500, 900 paid in. Ulysses S. Grant, Jr.,
put in 100000 and James D. Fish, the
silent partner, 100000. The firm,
chiefly managed by Ward, did very well,
and Gen. Grant desired to come in He
first put in $4,000 and afterward de-
siring his son Jesse to enter the firm
his associates agreed to let him put in
$4,000 more, but in his own name, SO
as not to increase the number of part
ners. While Gen. Grant takes no part
IN making contracts, signing checks, or
IN the executive details Of the business,
he is 4 valuable man through his char
acter and connections, both for credit
and for diplomatic work Besides max
ing large divisions of profits, this firm
has about 100000 of securities belong
ing to it.
Mr. Ferdinand Ward, Gen. Grants
partner, is worth million and a half
and was only 30 years old last week. He
began life as Presbyterian missionarys
son, buying and selling certificates of
membership in the New York produce
exchange. He predicted that these
certificates would go up to S10,g0G
apiece. They can be borrowed for tenn
porary use by any person desiring to do
business in the exchange. Mr. Ward
has a fine villa at Stamford, Conn. and
there made the acquaintance of General
Grants son, which led up to his connec-
ton with the father He is one Of the
phenomenal young men in this city. He
came from Geneseo, and among his
earliest transactions was selling to the
region job lots of -four left over at the
produce exchange
Mr.. Ward, as | have intimated, is the
son of the Rev. DR.. Ward, Presbyterian
minister at Geneseo, N. Y, who was for
many years missionary to India. Rev.
Mr.. Ward was afterward consul there.
His son never went with him to the
Indies, but came to New York with the
intention of entering Princeton college,
but found that his instincts were toward
business, and he became the clerk in the
produce exchange under our present
Comptrolles Grant. He has kept the
confidence of every employer and friend
he began with. The mayor has put
into the hands of his banking firm the
negotiation of the 100000 of aqueduct
bonds, and Mr.. Fish, his first friend of
wealth, takes breakfast and dinner with
him in Brooklyn every day" Gath.

The Impossible.

Man cannot draw water from an empty well.
Or trace the stories that gossips tell
Or gather the sounds OF pealing bell.
Man never can stop the pillows roar,
Nor chain the winds till they blow no more,
Nor drive true love from maideR's door.
Man cannot o'ertake heeting lie,
Change his wheat to field Of rye
Or eall back years that have long gone by.
Man cannot a cruel word recall,
Fetter thought. be it gre At or small,
Or honey extract from drop of gall.
Man never can bride old Father Time,
Gain the height Of peak that he cannot climb
Or trust the hand that hath done crime
Man never can backward turn the tide.
Or count the stars that are scattered wide,
OR lind in fool trusty guide.
Man cannot reap fruit from worthless seed
Rely for strength ON broken reed
Or gain heart be hath caused to bleed.
Man never can hope true peace To win
Pleasure without and joy within,
Living thoughtless life of sin.

How Watch Cases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD ii 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side of plate of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts ofthe cases-backs, centcrs bezels, etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit of all
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning. The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and s9lidity, while
the uriiten guarantee Of the Manufacturers
uasra,stinq each case TO wear ttrcaty years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many of
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth
by years of use without wearing through
the gold. DUBUQUE. IA, Dec. "A. lssa
