TO devise means to render effective protec-

Tung. The difficulty lies in the fact that
the missionaries have in most cases gone
as far as 200 miles inland and are thus
beyond reach of any aid that can be ex-
tended from warship
Minister Conger's advices show that the
situation is further complicated by the
fact that the location OF the present
troubles is so far inland as to make it
difficult to determine whether or not the

across the border in Pechil province. If
the threatened missionaries are in West

arises as to who is charseable with their

THE MARKS A CLERKS ERROR.
Messrs. Ehrlich DiscIaim Intention
to Deceive the Railroads.

The preliminary hearing before Commits
sioner ]. f. Lewis in the matter of the
charge of violating the Interstate Com
merce Act, preferred against Messrs. Am
brose NJ G. and Benjamin Enrich, was
continued yesterday afternoon. All of the
defendants made statements in their own
behalf.
AT the hearing the government was rep
resented by Assistant District Attorney
William r. Leaken and the defendants by
Col. William Gaward The evidence in
troduced on behalf of the government was
in addition to that outlined in yesterdays

rates and showed the rate on seed GA Us 10

pounds. from Savannah TO River Junction.
In substance the statement of the de-
PENDANTS was that the bitters had been
ordered by Hymson, merchant at River
Junction, Fla, through Mr.. Benjamin
Enrich, a travelling representative of the
firm. Hymson had directed that the biz
tiers be shipped packed in oats. as he could
use the oats and could not use other forms
Of packing. The members Of the firm
had given these directions to their ship
ping clerk, and that was all they hnd
ever learned or knew of the transaction
until they We're shown the warrant for
their arrest on the charge of violating
THE act to regulate commerce"
The statement of the defendants was
supplemented by the evidence of Melvin
Enrich, shipping clerk fU the firm, VINO
testified in their behalf. The witness
said that when he had received instruc-
tons to pack the bitters in oats he had
selected five barrels in which seed oats
had been kept. The rats had eaten
through the sacks in which the oats had
been originally stored, and thus necessi-
tated that the grain be kept in barrels or
kept not at oil. These barrels had been
marked seed oats"
Through some mistake this mark was
not taken off the barrels and was still
there when they were sent TO the rail-
road. The shipping clerk took all the
blame for the mistake on himself and said
that the members of the firm had had
nothing to do with It, 1t was an error.

railroads of a part of their freight charg-

From the Popular Science Monthly.
Until almost the beginning of the pres
ent century the general belief in all Chris
tian countries was that not only the earth
and man, but the whole cosmos, began
to exist about six thousand to seven
thousand years ago; furthermore, that ALI
was made a once without natural pro-
cess, and have remained substantially
unchanged ever since This is the old
doctrine of the supernatural origin and
substantial permanency of the earth and
its features. Among intelligent and es-
pecally scientific men this doctrine even
in the eighteenth century, began to be
questioned, although not publicly; for in
1851 Button was compelled by the Sor-
bonnie to retract certain views concerning
the age Of the earth published In his Nat
ural History in 1749. Remnants of the old
belief fingered even into the early part of
the present century and may even yet
be found hiding away In some of the re-
mote corners of civilized countries. But
with the birth of geology and especially
through the work OF Hutton in Scotland
Cuvier in France. and William Smith in
England the much greater-the inconceiv-
ably great-antiquity of the earth and the
origin of it's present forms, by graduai
changes which are still going on, was
generally acknowledged. Indeed, as al
ready said. this is the fundamental idea
of geology, without which it could noe
exist as a science.
