CAUSES OF EARTHQUAKES.

Terror is often caused through ignorance or a lack of understand ing of the causes of phenomena. Likewise, knowledge is shield against dismay and protection in case of danger. It is not surprising, therefore, that after a severe fright caused by terrible shaking of mother earth, we should inquire in to the causes of such an uncommon phenomenon. Science cannot en- tighten us entirely on the subject, but we have some ingenious theories as to the causes of earthquakes. 'It is generally assumed, says the Courier Journal, "that an earth quake proceeds from blow or con cussion of some sort delivered under ground. From this point, which Is called the seismic focus, the force is transmitted by vibrations in every direction. These vibrations are analogous to, though not pre- eisely like, sound waves. As the mediums through which the force is transmitted are various, so the rapidity of the wave movement varies greatly.
 "Tae literature of earthquakes ahounds with many theories as to their origin, some of which are merely curious while others are still defended. Flamsteed suggested two hundred years ago that they are due to explosions of gas, and there are those in the United States at present who believe that the vast volumes of natural gas taken from subterranean regions will cause earthquakes. A little later than FIamsteed, Amonstons thought earthquakes were caused by heated air. Lister put forward the theory that they were due to .the inaam- anable breath of pyrites, by which he is said to have meant sulphur. Various other authorities ascribe them to the explosions of chemical mixtures, containing sulphur and iron, the explosion of gases or electrical discharges in the interior of the earth, Buffon had an idea that the falling of the roofs of sub terranean caverns upon their floors might cause these disturbances.

Steadily Losing Ground.

The Hon. Tom L. Johnson of Ohio, who has taken the trouble to inform himself on the currency feeling in the west, recently expressed the following opinion:
 ''I look for short, sharp fight be- tween the forces of cheap money and sound money and the utter defeat of the silyerites Free silver people never had the strength they boast of. There is a good deal of noise, it is true, but when it comes to counting noses, they are generally ill the minority. The fact is. each successive congress since the Fifty first shows great falling off of free silver followers. In the Fifty second congress there was tie vote in the pop ular house on the Bland bill, and this was the zenith of the silver craze. Its nadir is in the future The improvement ill business conditions is not calculated to support the claims of the silyerites. They have based their agitation mainly on diseontent springing largely from the unemployed class, and now that these are becoming fewer every day the silver followers grow beautifully less "

TIE cost of running the United

TIE cost of running the United States Government is about $l, ,0O0,- 900 day, one half of which amount is paid out for pensions. There is little hope of reducing the expendi- lures until relief can be obtained from the heavy drain upon the treasury for the payment of pen sions. Commissioner Loehran, in his report says he will need at least $40, ,000, 900 for the next fiscal year. Judging by these figures every man north of Mason's and Diyon's line must have been wounded during the late war.

CHEAP MONEY DELUsIoN.
False Doctrines Spread Abroad by Dema-
 gogues In Times Of Depression.


 xogues In Times Of Depression.
 The cheap money delusion only flour ishes in time of depression. These are not times of depression, nor is there that prospect ahead. In time of depres sion demagogues can always find con stitueney for the wretehed delusion that to make good times it is only necessary for the government to set g lot of print ing presses at work turning out paper money or to set all the hints at work coining silver dollars Somehow or oth- CT the idea prevails among the dupes of the demagogue that when the govern ment has printed or coined money 1t IS going to make present of it to the peo- pie. Nobody gets money in that way.
 Money has to circulate before 1t can get into peoples pockets and to make it circulate there must be business, trad ing. commercial activity, the invest ment of capital, the opening of new en- terp1ises, and before there can be such commercial and financial activity there must be confidence in the future that legislation will not destroy the value of investments made. There must be an assurance that when dollar is let out for use it will come back whole and not clipped of half its value In no other way can people get money in their pock cts. No government has attempted such a foolish thing as to give the people money, and the mere manufacture of money at the hints would do nobody any good. St. Joseph Herald.

HURRYING UP SHIPS.
Navy Department Anxious to Get
New Ones In Service.


New Ones In Service.
Measures were taken to-day by Acting
Secretary McAdoo, OF the Navy Depart
ment, to place in service within a very
short time, the six composite gunboats now
under construction at Newport News, Va,
and also the cruiser Boston and the old
corvette Adams. now at Mare Island, Cal.
A conference OF the bureau chiefs com
posing the board ON construction was held
in Mr.. McAdoo's office this morning, and
plans for hurrying up the work Of pre-
pairing these vessels for sea were discussed
The feeling of uneasiness respecting the
safety of American citizens in China and
the likelihood OF revolutionary trouble in
South and Central America are tine rea-
SONS that actuated Mr. McAdoe in his de-
sire to place these vessels in commission
promptly.
Whether any new information has been
discovered leading TO the belief that affairs
in South America and Central America may
furnish more than the unusual quota of
revolutionary trouble cannot be ascer-
tanned, but it is probable that this govern
nient has been made to understand that
hostilities are imminent in some of the South
ern republics.
telegram was sent last night TO the
commandant of the Ma re Island Navy Yard
asking how soon the Boston could be
commissioned, and an answer received
this morning says that all repairs TO the
cruiser have been completed and that she
can go to sea Immediately after dock
trial to test her machinery. The Adams
is also nearly ready for service and the
remaining work necessary to put her in
sea-going condition will be hurried.

Section So, Revised Statutes, says: 1.-The
President solely shall appoint from time
TO time a librarian to take charge of the
Library of Congress"
BEFORE THE PRESIDENT.
1t has been ascertained beyond reason
able doubt that the preliminary report OF
Expert Myers has been placed before the
President. This is evidenced by the fact
that the pay-rolls OF the library have been
started anew with the beginning OF the
present fiscal year, and one of the assist
ant librarians has been designated by the
Treasury to attend TO them and the prepa-
ration OF the pay vouchers OF the employees.
Mr.. Myers found, upon beginning his ex-
animation, an almost total absence OF sys-
tematic bookkeeping, and the resulting
tangle of accounts was almost such as to
defy unravelng. Such has been the strain
involved in the attempt to straighteD out
the tangle that Expert Myers, his work
accomplished as far as possible, has sue
eumbed to nervous prostration. and is now
at Asbury Park on sick leave, endeavoring
to recuperate.

without authority Of law been in the habitof
charging and receiving fees for making a
search through the copyright archives in an

the supplying capacities of the Russian

The action of the minister of finance in
delaying the conclusion of a contract with
the Standard Oil Company was also made
known in the same issue. The Russian petro-
leum exporters were at that time inclined
to content themselves with the right to
supply % per cent. of the wold's markets,
but, as it was becoming more and more
apparent, the Russian industry was alreads
