H,storY OF the potato.

When America was discovered the
potato was cultivated in all the tenn
perate parts Of South America, but not
IN Mexico. Hieronymus Carbon, a
Spanish priest, is believed to have in
troduced the plant into Europe. From
Spain 1t went into Italy, and thence to
Belgium. Some years later it was In
troduced into Virginia, and specimens
were brought TO Ireland about 1890.
For snearly hundred years It was cul-
tivated very little in Great Britain. In
1908 the Royal society uTgedqits oulti-
vation, but It is only within the last

TIPPING The OCEAN.
Change IN the Level Produced by tho
Eacth's Rotation. .-...-.a

Change IN tho Level Produced by tho
EaEth's Eotatlon.
The discovery that the axis of the
earth is not fixed in direction, but that
it swings round in such way as to
cause the north pole itself to revolve
once in every fourteen months round a
circle ten yards in diameter, is now
generally accepted as an established
fact. a ,.4t- a...- .. .'
1t is evident that such wobbling of
the earth's axis of rotation, small
though it be, must produce some effect
upon the level of the ocean at its shores,
and an examination of the very careful
records, which have been kept for
more than. forty years, of the height of
the tide in the canal at Helder, in Hol-
land, was recently made Tor the pur-
effect could be perceived. &c.,
The result of the examination showed
that the average level of the water had
varied with great regularity, in a re-
curing period OF fourteen months, ever
since the tide records were begun. in
1851. .l{If. - ,lE.:s !..; .
The inference is that this regular
change of level must be due to the
swinging round of the axisAof the earth.
The amount by which; the level changes
"a: little less than five-eighths of an
inch-also, corresponds to the calcu-
lated. change that should result from
the supposed cause. r. ,.n-.'-
So we are gradually learning to ap-
preciate how delicately the ponderous
earth is poised as it swings in it's vast
orbit round the sun, and how even the
mighty ocean responds to the slightest
tipping this way and that of the great
axis of the globe. .. .U

A ROLLING MILL IN TROUBLE.
Several Attachments Secured Against
Its Property.


Findlay, o., April 2.-Yesterday the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce of Cleveland
attached the property of the Findlay Roll
ing Mill Company in this city and the
sheriff is now in possession of the COM
panys plant.
The bank has past due papers of the con-
Germ amounting to about $4,000, which it
alleges was secured by fraudulent rep
reservations.
The Toledo and Ohio Central Railroad
Company, after the attachment had been
made, secured a cognovit judgment for
5000. on account of unpaid freight bills.
The company owns a mill at Muncie,
Ind, which was attached by the Lake
Erie and Western Railroad Company, on
claims aggregating $1,000
Late last evening a mortgage of $4,000
was given by the company in favor of the
State National Bank of Cleveland. Other
smaller judgments have been taken
John D. Briggs of Cleveland is the pres
ident of the company The president of
the bank that brought the suit is his
cousin. 1t is believed that the company's
affairs viii be Strengthened up. No esti-
mate of the assets or liabilities has been
given out. The plant is being appraised
at present. About 400 men are thrown out

A FIGHT FOR CRY PRINTING.
Editor blackburn Incensed Against
His Two Rival Papers.

Atlanta. Ca, April 2.-The journalistic

noon. as a result Of the trouble between
the three local papers growing out Of the
competition for the city printing. Yes
terday afternoon, when the city council,
after having granted the printing contract
to B. NJ. Blackburn. of the Evening Com
mercial. renigged and ordered new ad-
vertisement for bids, there was a dra-
matte scene between Editors Blackburn
and Cabaniss, but both gentlemen appear
ed contented when they separated. This
afternoon Editor Blackburn published an
editorial in which he denounces the man
agement of both the Constitution and the
Journal.
What will be the outcome of the affair
can only be conjectured. 1t is clearly in
evidence that Editor Blackburn is out for
gore
Soon after the Commercial appeared on
the streets, Mr.. Cabaniss, accompanied
by his son. went to the Kimban house

MEXICO SCOOPS MANY ACRES.
TERMS OF THE SETTLEMENT WITH
GUATEMALA.

The Tract of Land in dispute EN-
braces About 1000 square Miles
and Is Valuable for Its Timber.
Guatemala Cedes IL TO Mexico and
Indemnifes Mexican Lumbermen
for Driving Them On-GuatemaIa
Retains Control of Another Tract
of 1000 square Miles.
Washington. April 2-The facts with
regard to the settlement yesterday Of
the boundary dispute between Mexico and
Guatemala are said to be these: About a
year ago the Guatemala police broke
up a number of Mexican lumber camps
which were located in part of the coun-
try in dispute, and over which Guate-
mala at that time claimed authority. This
tract Of land embraced about 1900 square
miles, and Is particularly valuable for
its great timber possessions. While Guate-
mala insisted upon its control of this land.
1t was well understood between the two
governments that it would be relInquished
TO Mexico after the boundary line had been
drawn and accepted by the two countries.
The indemnity which Guatemala, 1t Is
said, will pay to Mexico, will result from
her action in driving from this territory
the Mexican citizens engaged there in the
lumber business. It will not be a large
sum and in the aggregate will be less than
Si.oOOOOO
on the other hand. the agreement
reached between the Guatemalan minister
Mexican foreign Office yesterday, will re-
suit in the absolute control by Guatemala
Of another tract Of land embracing 1000
square miles, which has been claimed By
Mexico, but which the Guatemalan gov
ernment felt 1T could not relinqush even
though war were TO follow as a conse-
quence of this refusal This land lies to
the east of that heretofore referred to, and
lies directly in the line OF travel between
the northern and southern departments
of the republic. The possession Of this
land which aside from Its locations is val
liable In mineral deposits and mahogany Is
Of enormous interest to Guatemala and Is
as a matter OF fact, of far more impor-
tance than the other and larger tract in
dispute.
The agreement reached by the repre-
sentatives OF the two countries yesterday
at the city of Mexico requires the rati-
fcation OF the Mexican Senate and of the
Guatemalan assembly. but It is believed
that no difficulty need be apprehended
from either OF these sources.
The Guatemalan minister does not know
yet the details OF the arrangement signed
yesterday between his country and Mex
leo, but he has received from the Guate-
malan minister in that city the following
telegram:
Mexico. April Ito the Minister of Qua
temala, Washington. The definite settle
ment OF our difficulties with Mexico was
signed to-day Conditions honorable and
satisfactory to both countries. De Leon.

JAMAICA's TARIFF LAW.

The Proposed Amendment Defeated
by the Legislative Council.
Washington, April 2.--rhe state depart
ment has just received report from
Consul Quincy o. Eckford at Kingston,
jamaica, announcing the defeat of the
customs tariff laws amendment introduced
into the legislative council of Jamaica in
February last. one leading feature of this
measure was an increase of the duties
upon those articles almost exclusively i'm
ported from the United States. The gov
ernor In his annual message to the legis-
aUlre said that the withdrawal of the
United States from the reciprocal ar
rangements with Jamaica, and the re-im-
position Of the duty on sugar, would leave
the colony free to restore to its tariff some
of the sources of revenue abandoned under
the reciprocal arrangement of 1891
An attempt was made to re-impose these
duties, but the newly elected members
defeated the project and the consul thinks
1t will not be renewed.

treasurer of the town of Foxcroft to the
amount of about 100000 as near as can

Former Administrations.

Mayor Strong Severely Criticises the
Former Administration.
New York, April 2.-Mayor Strong sent
to the board of aldermen to-day a mes
sage on the financial condition of the
city, in which he took occasion to severe
ly criticize the former administration.
Following a statement of the city debt
and a list Of public improvements for
which bonds must be issued the mayor
says: The condition Of affairs, as here
in presented and the consequent increase
of bonded indebtedness that must be
shown against the city at the close Of this
year, is attributable to the result of
system of financial jugglery, practiced
by the previous administration, in an
apparent endeaVor to mislead the public
into the innocent belief that notwith-
standing the liberal and perhaps waste
ful expenditures on special accounts dur
ing the year, particularly by the park
department under the 100000 act, os-
tenslbly to give work to the unemployed.
that the citys debt has been increased
to the proportions that the statements
herewith sumbitted indicate, and with
such delusion seek to produce a political
as well as a hoped-for beneficial moral
erect ana letNe 10 the future the reali-
cation and burden of the actual condition
of the financial affairs of the city.
"An examination of the statements,
as submitted by the controller justifies
the belief that every technical subterfuge
was availed of to defer authorizing the
issue of bonds or to defer issuing them
after they were authorized in 1894 leav-
ing their issue and the responsibility of
the same and the consequent increase of
the bonded indebtedness To fall lnOn the
administration of 1896"
The mayor also speaks sharply of man
datory legislation which increases the city
debt.
