THE Dluturnal Theory of the Earth
or Natures System of Constructing a
Stratiffed Physical World" by William
Andrews Published by Myra Andrews and
Earnest T. Stevens, 1921 Park Row, New
York city Cloth $3.50 The diuturnal the
DRY of the earth discovered by William
Andrews and set forth in his book is sum-
med up in a lengthy article in the New
York Herald or follows: The earth turns
like a corkscrew This spiral revolution
affects the crust of the earth. The crust
of the earth moves as would the skin
of an orange were it twisted spirally in
dependently of the inner pulp. This spi-
raj movement of the earth does not con-
flict but harmonizes with the annual rev.
oution around the sun, and with the daily
rotation. The glacial period" of geology
Is not an isolated phenomenon, but con-
tinuous effect of The spiral movement of
the earth. Hence, all parts of the earth
surface have in turn, a glacial period
Hence the present polar regions will be
dropped by the spiral revolution toward
gons of the earth will be twisted into the
polar atmosphere and become ice locked.
The diuturnal motion of the earth explains
all geological phenomena. One diuturnal
revolution of the earth takes place approx
imately every "a, 1000 years. This diu-
turnal motion of the earth is the sum Of
the results of all it's other forms of mo-
ton.

THE Herman Family in Maryland" by
Charles B. Tiernan. Cutlery & McCann,
Baltimore. publishers. Cloth
Mr.. Charles B. Tiernan of the Baltimore
bar has recently made an interesting and
valuable contribution TO American history
It covers a period of more than 30 years
and includes collections of biographical
and historical data not heretofore publish
ed, from the private papers and CORE
spondence of various prominent families
In its title only is it defective, as the
1.-THE Herman Family in Maryland" does
not give the mind The correct idea of the
broad grounds which the book covers. An
idea Of it's scope in one direction may be
deduced from the following interesting ex-
tract:
Among the proceedings before the
privy council of King James ii in regard
to the dispute between William Penn and
Lord. Baltimore as to the boundary Inc
between Pennsylvania and Maryland, the
following is entered Thursday October
s. 1885. My Lord Baltimore and Mr.. Penn
attending were called in. Among
the documents submitted was the deposit

city Of st. Mary's, showing his knowledge
Of the seating of Delaware bay and river

latitude by the Swedes and Dutch, which
reads: The head Of Chesapeake

and from which the Dutch might have
sunk the Swedish ship, but they were
afraid of killing the Indians on board; fo~
both nations, as well Swedes as Dutch

the Indians. in considera ion of the trade
upon which they wholly depended. The
Swedish ship sailed up as high at Tenaum,

10 have the exclusive control not only
of the patrolling of the city, but OF
the sanitary forces engaged in clean
ing the city. 1t was decided also that
instead of looking to the laboring
people of Galveston for work in this
emergency that an importation OF
outside laborers to the number OF
1000 should be made to conduct the
sanitary work while the people OF
Galveston were given an opportunity
of looking after their own losses and
rebuilding their own property with
out giving any time to the city at
large. It is believed that with the
work of these 1000 outside laborers it
will require about four weeks to clean
the city of debris, and in the mean
time the citizens can be working on
their own property and repairing
damage there.
Cash contributions sent to the gov
ernor will be turned over to Chairman
Sealey, of the local committee at Gal
weston, in such quantities as are re-
CURED from time to time.
The committee from Galveston re-
quested the Associated press corre-
spondent at this point to state that
Galveston would certainly be rebuilt.
Another committee from Velasco
reported that 1900 people are in des-
titute circumstances, without food,
clothing or home. Crops have been
totally destroyed, all farming imple-
ments were washed away and the
people have nothing at hand with
which to work the fields.
A relief committee from the Column
bia precinct reported $500 destitute.

Gov. Savers ordered post haste ship

ceived large number OF subscrip-
tons and it is estimated that the to-
tai subscription lists to date. here
and at Galveston will reach sl,30O,o00.

the Liverpool Cotton exchange had
subscribed $4,000 for the relief of the
sufferers and that more will follow.
The storm-stricken people are pro-
foundly grateful for the generous re-
Spouse of the world to their appeal
for relief and from wish to be
worthy of the aid extended to them
they are speaking more hopefully of
reconstruction.
Lists of the living and of the dead
are far from perfect. The identity
of all who have been lost will never
be known. The names sent out from
here have been gathered with scrupu-
lous care, but at the same time many
errors are found in them.
Much attention has been attracted
by the dispatch of Quartermaster
Baxter to the department expressing
the belief that Galveston has been
hopelcssly ruined. Congressman Haw-
ley, the only republican member of
congress from Texas who was not in
the city when the disaster occurred,
but who has since returned, sent the
following telegram to the war depart
ment in reply to the dispatches of
Quartermaster Baxter: "While it
might not be significant or worthy
of notice, have the honor to state
that Quartermaster Baxter's tele-
gram to the quartermaster general
respecting Galveston is unworthy of
n soldier and in no way represents the
morale of Galveston citizenship and
their determined purpose to restore
their city"
Styera Confer. with Relief Committees.
Austin, Tex, Sept. 15.-From early
IN the morning until far in the after
noon Gov. Savers yesterday was in
conference with relief committees
from various points along the storm
swept coast Among the first commit
tees to arrive was one from Galveston,
comprising Messrs. Skinner Gore and
Spencer. These gentlemen consulted
at length with Gov. Sayers, going into
the details of the relief work being

terially."
Yesterday afternoon the relief com.
mittee of Alvin telegraphed the gov
ernor that the people there are in
dire distress and in need of imme-
date relief, having been overlooked
in the excitement attendant upon the
disaster at Galveston. The governor
wired that he would see that relief
was promptly sent.
Di.infectsM. Wanted BADLY
Dallas, Tex, Sept. 1.-THE cry still
comes from Galveston for disinfect-
ants. II is the one hope Of saving
what is left Of the population. Tel
egrams are pouring into Dallas and
every other Texas city asking for
lime, carbolic acid and anything else
that will operate to purify the sitting
conditions. Dallas has been almost
run dry, so to speak, of disinfectants.
II the outside world can hasten re-
lief of this kind it will be an act Of
charity of the first magnitude. A
new horror is confronting Galveston;
that is second disposition of many OF
the dead. Bodies thrown into the
sea are floating back to the city. They
must now be disposed of by burning.
Disinfectants become more needful as
consequence of this new feature in
the situation.
Dallas, Tex, Sept. 14.-Relief work
for Galveston is down now to sys-
tematic basis. Dallas is the principal
point of concentration and distribu-
ton for more than one-half of the |
state and much of the country out
side of Texas. BY actual count 300
communities have RENTED their con-
tributions of money, clothing, food,
drugs, etc, to Dallas. Counting what
has been received by Gov. Savers and
the relief committees at Galveston
and Houston, approximately 100000
worth of relief has been obtained and
the stream is increasing in volume.
Ten times as much, however, as has
been donated will be needed before
the distress is tangibly relieved and
the place is in safe condition.
Drugs, disinfectants and clothing are
the most pressing needs.
The Number OF Dead Net Magnifrd
Galveston, Tex, Sept. 14.-More
than 1000 dead bodies have been
identified and the estimate of Mayor
Jones that 5000 souls persisted in Sat-
urday's great hurricane does not ap-
pear to be magnfied. The city is be-
ing patrolled by troops and citizens
committee and a semblance of order
is appearing.

Galveston, Tex, Sept. 15.--The first
real attempt to clear away the great
mass of debris piled along the beach
front for a distance of several miles
was begun yesterday. ADVERTISE
ments were printed in the News,
which appeared yesterday morning,
asking for hundreds of men and boys
to do this work. A multitude re-
sponded. They were formed into
squads and promptly put to work with
police and deputy sheriffs in charge.
1t is hoped that vigorous prosecu-
ton of this work will lead to the
early recovery of bodies still in the
debris. That there are many of them
there is no shadow of doubt. 1t is
difficult indeed to imagine how half
the people that did escape got free
of tbs fearful fotsam and jetsam.
An Associated press representative
traversed the beach for some distance
yesterday and the stencil at different
points was absolutely sickening.
Everywhere little groups of men,
women and children, some of them
poorly provided with raiment, were
digging in the ruins of their homes
for what little household property
they could save. In many cases those
seeking their residences were utterly
unable to find a single remnant OF
them, so hopeless is the confusion OF
timbers and household furniture The
exodus from the city was heavy yes
terday and hundreds were eager to
go, but were unable to secure trans
portation. Along the bay front there
were scores of families with detected
faces pleading to be taken from the
stricken city, where, in spite of every
effort to restore confidence, there is a
universal feeling of depression. Ship
ping men said yesterday that the
damage to the wharves Is by no
means as serious as at first supposed.
The chief damage has been in the
tearing open of sheds and the ripping
of planking. The sheds, however, can
be quickly replaced.
Carts with disinfectants are going
through the streets. The cutters are
being covered with lime. Carpenters
are having all the work they can do.
The storm tore hundreds of roofs off
and the people who are living in top
less houses are eager to obtain COW
erings so as to prevent the destruction
of what they have saved If rainstorm
comes along. Thus far, however,
the weather has been clear and there
are no immediate indications of a
downpour.
The relief committees are steadily
broadening the scope of their work.
They have established bureaus for the
issuance of orders and rations in every
ward and, though there is a multitude
surrounding every bureau, applicants
are rapidly being taken care of. There
seems no present likelihood of inabil-
ity on the part of the committee to
furnish all the ratons that are asked
for. There is, of course, scarcity of
fresh beef and milk, but bread is being
provided in abundance as well as
hams, potatoes, rice and other
articles.
The sympathy felt for Galveston
throughout the world was again evil
denced yesterday morning when local
bankers were notified by cable that

TO STRENGTHEN GOLD STANDARD.
It will be the duty as I am sure it will
be the disposition of the Congress to
provide whatever further legislation is
needed to insure the continued parity IN
der all conditions between our two forms
of metallic money, silver and gold.
PAYMENT OF BONDS.
Cur surplus revenues have permitted
the Secretary of the Treasury since the
close of the fiscal year 10 call in the
funded loan of 1891 continued at 2 per
cent, in the sum of $25,364 500. TO and
Including November 80, $23, ASS, 100 OF these
bonds have been paid. This sum, together
with the amount which may accrue from
further redemptions under the call will
be applied to the sinking fund.
The law of March IA, 1900, provided for
refunding into 2 per cent thirty-year
bonds, payable, principal and interest, in
that portion of the public debt repre-
scented by the per cent bonds of
1908, the 4 percents of 1907, and the 5
percents Of 1904, of which there was out
standing at the date of said law $685.,

presented them for exchange March IA
and November 80 to the amount of 1884,
943.750 The net saving to the Govern
rnent on these transactions aggregate
50 ,1O6, 166
Another effect of the operations, as
stated by the Secretary, is to reduce the
charge upon the Treasury for the pay
ment of interest from the dates of re-
funding to February /, 1904, by the sum
of more than seven million dollars anu
ally. From February 1, 1904, to July /,
1907, the annual interest charge will be
reduced by the sum of more than five
millions, and for the thirteen months
ending August l, 1908. by about one mil
lion. The full details of the refunding
are given in the annual report of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury.
MORE NATIONAL BANKS ORGANIZED.
The beneficial effect of the financial act
of 1900, so far as it relates to a modi-
fcation of the national banking act, is
already apparent The precision for the

incorporation of national banks with a
capital OF not less than $4,000 in places
not exceeding three thousand inhabitants
has resulted in the extension of bank
ing facilities to many small communities
hitherto unable to provide themselves
with banking institutions under the ma
tional system. There we're organized
from the enactment of the law up to and
including November 80, 500 national
banks. of which 266 were with capital
less than $50 coo. and 103 with capital OF
$50 600 or more.
1t is worthy of mention that the greater
number of banks being organized under
the new law are in sections where the
need Of banking facilities has been most
pronounced. Iowa stands first. with 30
banks OF the smaller class, while Texas,
Oklahoma, Indian Territory and the mid
die and western sections of the country
have also availed themselves largely of
the privileges under the new law.
A large increase in national bank note
circulation has resulted from the .provis-
ion of the act which permits national
banks to issue circulating notes to the
par value of the United States bonds de-
posted as security instead of only 80
per cent thereof, as heretofore. The in
crease in circulating notes from March
II to November 80 is ST. SS9, $40.
The party in power is committed to
such legislation as will better make the
currency responsive to the varying needs
Of business at all seasons and in all sec
tions.
OUR FOREIGN TRADE.
Our foreign trade shows a remarkable
record Of commercial and Industrial pro-
gress The total of imports and exports
for the first time in the history OF the
country exceeded two billions of dollars.
The exports are greater than they have
ever been before, the total for the fiscal
year 1900 being 81 1884 ,4SS, 0S2, an increase
over 1899 of $167, 459, $780, an increase over
1898 of $3.50, 600, 1852, over 1897 of $S49,-
4S9, 526, and greater than 1896 by $5ll,-
S76, 144.
The growth of manufactures in the
United States is evidenced by the fact
that exports of manufactured products
largely exceed those Of any previous
year. their value for 1900 being $4SS,S5l
1856. against 1899, 592. 146 in 1899, an IN
crease of 28 per cent.
Agricultural products were also ex-
ported during 1900 in greater volume than
in 1899. the total for the year being
$685.. 858. 1923, against 7S4.776,142 in 1899
WHAT IMPORTS SHOW.
The imports for the year amounted TO
