Secretary Carlisle Explains His Policy Of
Purchasing Silver.

Secretary Carlisle has sent to th
speaker Of the house Of representative
letter explanatory of his silver pur
chase policy, in response to the recen
resolution requesting him to inform
the house why silver bullion was no
purchased in the months of July anC
August, 1898, to the full amount pro
vided in the Sherman act. Mr.. Car
Isle reviews at length the 1ucuation,
in the price of silver, and gives the
purchases made by the government at
various rates. He adds:
"In view of these facts, it seems EN-.
inently proper that, as the government
Of the United States is the largest pur-
chaser of silver in the world, the secre-
tary of the treasury, after an examina-
ton OF the offers and quotations of
each day, should determine what in
his judgment is fair market price,
especially as the act Of July Il, 1890,
expressly provides for the purchase Of
100000 ounces, or so much thereof
as may be offered in each month at
the market price thereof
at is evident that there are but two
courses open to the secretary of the
treasury under this statute. He must
purchase 4,soo,ooo ounces of silver
each month at whatever price may be
asked by the dealers, no matter how
unreasonable or eXtortionate they may
be, or he must employ such means as
are at his command to ascertain what
the actual market price is, and make,
or offer to make, the purchase at that
rate; and it is simply because the
dealers were not willing to accept
what was considered a fair market
price that 4.5oo,ooO ounces were not
purchased during the months of July
and August. There is no valid reason
why the government should pay for
silver bullion higher prices than are
paid by individuals, or why one rehner
or dealer should receive a price for
his silver greater than that paid to
another on the same day and in the
same market

That changes, involving the displace-
ment of immense masses, are going on

gested explanations of some observa-
tions recently announced in France.
II has been found at the Pare St Maur
observatory that the force of gravita,
tion. or the weight of bodies. under.
goes daily variations These are rem.
dered sensible by placing in the earth
q tube containing q column Of mercury
balanced by the pressure Of hydrogen
contained in closed vessel connected
with the tube, and registering by
means Of photography the alterations
in the level of the mercury.
After all corrections have been made
for the effect of changes of tempera-
turc. II appears that certain sudden
variations in the level of the mercury
are only to be explained on the theory
that they are due to changes in gravi-
tation. These variations last from fif.
teen minutes to an hour. They are, of
course, very small, amounting at a
maximum 10 only one-twentieth of a
millimeter, but they may imply very
great displaccments of matter in the
interior OF the globe.
Il has been suggested that similar
experiments should be conducted in
the neighborhood OF active volcanoes,
where liqueded rock is moving beneath
the surface. and other disturbances OF
the strata Of the earth are taking place.
