LONGING

What makes life worth living is learning;
Each morning we seek for the mite
That shall. silence the soul and its yearning
And give us repose for the night.
For. day witt its splendor. alas is no more
Than a season of striving and cropping.
Mid the shadows the record we turn to
explore
And measure our deeds by our hoping
And often l turn on my pillow
And toss, as I struggle to clasp
Ere it fleets or obivion's billow
The thought I was eager to grasp.
And the down that is spread as rest for
my head
Seems turning to fierce, dreamless this
ties,
AS my memory test in mad quest for the
rest
OF the tune that the Office boy whistles.

PROF. Walls THEORY sUBsTAN-
TIATED

The new gold discoveries at Skookum
gulch, near Dawson City, afford the
strongest possible confirmation of Pro-
fessor Wallis annular theory, which has
been exploited to some extent in the col
umns of this paper.
Alexander Mcdonald of Dawson City,
one of the richest and most experienced
miners in the camp. is reported as say
ing, speaking of this new discovery:
"Who ever heard of finding nuggets
under boulders and on top of the ground
on such a barren-looking mountain as
that one? If science went for anything
there would not be an ounce of gold
in the mountain" But Mr. Mcdonald
had never heard of Professor Wallis
theory.
The theory, to explain it in a few
words, is that the earth was once in a
molten state, as the sun now is. 1t was
as at present. This revolution threw
off great rings of smoke into the atmos-
phere, or into the ether. The motion
of the burning mass was of course swift
est at it's greatest circumference and
least at the poles.
Professor Vail holds that the smoke
and vapor thrown off from the earth
contained. in gaseous form, all the min
erals that go to make up the compost
ton of the earth. The water of the
ocean to this day contains a trace of
gold. The smoke from a lead ssusls-r
contains enough lead to pay it's operatins
expenses, if it be saved. The theory
that the minerals We're contained in the
smoke and vapor thrown off from the
molten earth is perfectly reasonable.
AS the earth gradually cooled and
solidified, the smoke and vapor cooled
and solidified also. AS it solidified it
fell. Where did it fall? Where the CEN
trifugal, or whirling, power was least.
to be sure. 1t was least at the poles,
and there the solidified minerals fell
first. AS the distance from the poles
became greater, the greater became the
,iSSiSlduCc " ldlllIlS." L he attraction OF
gravitation was thus toward the poles
The mineral masses formed just as
hailstones now are formed. In the
loftier heights in the steaming vapors
the golden grains and nuggests were
formed. They rode higher in the prim-
tive atmosphere than the more refrac-
tory metals-metals more difficult to

part of the ring system. For this rea-
son they revoved around the earth in
canopies with great velocity and moved
in spiral paths to the poles, falling
there with the very SHOWS that formed
glaciers on the Alaskan uplifts.
For this reason, Professor Vail argues.
men cannot rightly claim that all placer
gold was ground out of quartz beds by
ice movements, etc. This finding of
gold nuggets on the ground on top of
hills and mountains, how well it bears
out the annular theory. One can see
exactly how the gold came there, if he
accepts the theory.

study of this fascinating annuar theory

ANOTHER SPANISH BUTCHERY

The Spaniards in Cuba have again
been guilty of the vilest kind of warfare,
and once more proved that they are
butchers rather than soldiers.
A few days ago it was reported that
General Castillo, commander of the Gu
bans in the province of Havana, had
been killed. 1t now appears that he was
captured last Friday and shot last Mon
day.
The Associated Press dispatches this
morning indicate that Castillo was shot
offhand the Spaniards preferring not to
treat him as prisoner of war. He was
in the first place betrayed by faithless
Cuban guide as he lay in a secluded
place. Beside him when he was cap
tured lay the body of man who had
starved to death.
AS in the case of Maceo, it is likely that
Castillo dead will be more powerful
against the Spaniards than was Castillo
alive. 1t is said that the murder will
have the result of causing the Cubans
to refuse all offers of autonomy at the
hands of Spain. Already manifesto to
this effect is being prepared, to be signed
by President Capote and Generals Gomez
and Garcia.
Thus the new administration at Mad
rid will be handicapped at the very out
set of it's troubled career by the vile and
unwarranted acts of it's military repre-
sentatives at Havana. Assassination is
not the way to win wars nor to crush the
spirit of liberty, but it seems to be the
chief weapon of the Spanish butchers in
Cuba.

We get interesting literary judg- ments from Boston sometimes. The Transcript, for instance, declares that ''T.hackeray's literary faculty was probably full equal to Swifts', but he is less celebrated Of course this may be good criticism for the Multitude of Boston, but elsewhere it will be regarded, we fear, as some what futile. Thackeray probably the equal of Swift! The dean was a great master of English prose, to be sure, but few of us would be willing to put him on quite the same leva with Thackeray. And how is he mere "celebrated'? Is his name better known? Are his books more widely read? It would be interesting to have some statistics on this matter from the Boston public library.
