SOLDIER TOMNHIE.
The story of "A San Francisco Stow
AWAY.


Tommie Murnane was South Market
kid" in San Francisco. With soldiers
marching down Van Ness avenue to the
Presidio almost every day, going to Ma
Mia to fight the Spanish, the boys in the
Golden Gate School all wanted to be SOL
diars
Tommie went to dress parade every
day, all the boys did. He had been down
and watched the transport which was to
take the soldiers to Manila. 1t lay in
the bay just beyond the Sausalito slip
and had been painted gray. 1t had taken
on coal and he wondered how long it
would lay at the dock before the soldiers
went aboard. That was where Tom
plans came in.
Madison. Walsh e. Co, had contract
to supply the transport with potatoes.
They were to be carried on board in gum
ny sacks. Tom knew one of the drivers.
He raced down to the wharf when he
heard the transport was loading. No one
WIS allowed inside of the sheds, but he
had been there before and told the man
at the chain he wanted to get out to one
of Madison, Walsh q Co.'S drivers and
the man let him by.
Tom began to help his friend, the driv-
err. and first thing he knew he was in
the hold of the snip, ana then IL dld not
take him long to cover himself in big
coal bunker
1t was pretty dirty, but Tom did not
mind dirt If only they did not take him
for a Spaniard. He was glad he was a
carrot top" but forgot his hair would
be lust as black as the rest of him.
To make a long story short, the next
morning the soldiers came on board at
about IL O'Clock. There was no end Of
cheering and cannon, and Tom Rugged
himself in his coal heap that he was really
"in it," even if he was the only one who
knew it.
Tom had his pockets for his base of
supplies, and managed very well, but he
lost track of time. The days were so long
down there he forgot whe her 1t was still
to-day or if it were already tomorrow.
He intended not to appear before four
days, and when he thought 1t was time
he climbed out aud was sitting where
the fireman could see him when he came
for coal.
The man did not see Tom, so Tom had
to speak and he wanted to be poli.e. so
he said
GOOD morning General; l hope YOU are
having a smooth trip"

The problem of the earths interior is
among the most difficult that science has
TO face. Unless the physicists invent for
us some application of the 'Rontgen ray
apparatus, so that we may be able u eX-
anime the internal conditions of the sphere
as we may the lesser bodies il bears, it
win ever remain a field for speculation.
Yet it is easily seen that the inquirer of
our time have managed to apply criticism
to their views in a way unknown to their
predecessors; so that while very much re-
mains to be proved, their opinions have
been so limited by criticism and so adjust
ed by criteria that they evidently leave US
relatively near the truth. In fact. the
modern system of inquiry makes the in,el-
lect of man an apparatus for sending light
through dark places. 1t has not yet IL
Illuminated the earths interior, but it has
revealed to us more than was learned in
all the earlier centuries.
N. S. shaler.
Prof Nathaniel Southgate Shaler occu-
pies the chair of geology at Harvard Uni
versity, and is therefore as thoroughly
competent as any living authority to dis
cuss the probable makeup of the inner
earth. Prof. Shaler is a Kentuckian by
birth and was the director of the Kentucky
geological survey in 1880, inclusive de-
voting part of every year to the work,
and since 1884 has been the geologist in
charge of the Atlantic division of the
United States geological survey. Thus it.
will be seen that his knowledge of the
group of sciences men call geology is
practical a well as theoretical.
Prof, Shaler has written extensively both
on his favorite subject and general topics.
