Mr.. McClanahan has habit Of placing

his pedal extremities, like his voice,
seem perplexing, at least, to their own

The Center of the Earth.

OF late years the general view has
been that the interior of the globe.
though partly liquid, is for the most
part solid. Some have considered that
a section through the earth would
show the following:
a. An outer solid envelope, (2) n
semifluid envelope. 81 fluid envel-
ope. az a smeifiuid envelope, 10 a solid
nucleus. No. ] results from a reduced
temperature only. No. = from Il pres
sure and temperature not quite suffi-
Client for liquidation No = from Il tenn
perature sufficiently high to produce
complete liquidation. No. 4 from a
pressure so great as to prev ent even
the terrific heat which most certainly
completely liquefylng the material on
which It works, and No. > from pres
sure which overcomes completely the
liquefying power even of the maxi
mum heat OF the interior.
This pressure is estimated to be at
the center of the earth T,lS0, 593, 80
pounds to the square foot. a pressure
so enormous that no known substance
could fuse beneath il. Even hydrogen
at the highest possible temperature
would under such conditions become
as hard as n diamond. Hence it seems
probable that, far from there being a
vacuum at the center of the earth,
there is basis of intensely solid mat
ter there.-Pearson's Weekly.

He Wanted n Drink

Some years ago Colonel Crisp was in
New York, and being in attendance at
n certain notable political gathering in
Madison Square Garden was called up
on for a speech. And did he accept?
Well, rather. Running his fingers
through his hair. adjusting his vest
and pushing up his coat sleeves. he
started in TO sprinkle eagle feathers all
over the stage. Now. the colonel is a
stout man and has a thirst in proper
ton. In the course of his passionate
harangue he became very warm and
asked that some water be provided. In
compliance with the request a diminu-
tive pitcher and dainty little glass We're
brought and placed before him.
Colonel Crisp looked at it intently for
few moments. and then What Is
this:" he Numbered.
''W-w-water," timidly answered one
OF the vice presidents.

Uncle sam and Germany.

We should very much prefer a tariff
war TO a war involving the sacrifice of
much treasure and many precious hui
man lives and the sooner 1t begins the
better, for there can be but one issue.
Uncle Sam commercially has got what
the vulgar call a move on, and with
the resources back of him can view
with cquanimity any measure which
Germany or any other nation may
choose to take to hold him back, says
Harper's Weekly. His speed may be
somewhat impeded temporarily, but
no single nation, nor any combination
OF nations which is at all likely, can
stop him. Any effort TO interfere with
his commercial growth must in the
end work TO the positive detriment of
these who would stand in his way, and
the sooner Germany tries it the more
quickly shall we reach the ultimate
and inevitable adjustment upon a Iiy-
Ing basis for all
