The negro is here to stay. 1t is better

be done. The warmest encouragement

At the opening Of the Naval War col
lege at Newport, r. l., Assistant Secre-
tary Hackett related the following Incl
dent: The sinking of Cervera's feet
was not the execution Of a plan sudden
ly inspired. On the contrary, that men,
orable July forenoon saw wrought out
that which in its beginnings at least
was rehearsed, so to speak, within these
very walls. An incident that occurred
not long after the close of the war
serves to illustrate my meaning. Rear
Admiral Sampson happening to be here,
saw suspended on the wall a large
chart Of the Cuban coast. It bore GER
tain marks that denoted the movement
Of war vessels. The admiral took it to
be a chart that had recently been pre-
pared for the purpose Of illustrating GER
tain features Of the Spanish war. 1t
turned out, as a matter of fact, that he
was looking at q working model that
had been put to use two years before
the war in the study OF an imaginary
campaign against Spain.

At the annual meeting at Cleveland Of
the Yacht Racing Union Of the Great
Lakes the construction committee was
instructed to frame a set Of new rules
governing the classes Of yachts, keeping
in view the Unions opinion that the
yachts should have greater living space
aboard, and should not be mere racing
machines. This is only one of many in
dications that the days Of the racing ma

who love the sport because they find hap

SAFETY FROM SEISMIC SHOCKS
Build Out of Tune with Mother Earth
to Avoid Her Shiverv.

Build Ont of Tune with Mother Earth
to Avoid Her Shivers.
Earthquakes. like music and poetry,
have their rhythm, and il persons living
in lands of seismic disturbances will build
their houses out of tune with Mother
Earth's shivers they will be comparative
" safe, says London newspaper. This
is what John Milne, who has for a long
time past been studying earth Vibrations,
says. He has instruments so delicate
that they automatically record vibrations
so slight that it is impossible to detect
them in any manner with the senses
alone. His records show that the whole
earth shivers every fifteen seconds BY
means Of his horizontal pendulums," as
he calls them. he has ascertained the
rhythm of earthquakes. and he so advises
buildings to be out Of tune with them to
insure protection; but different portions
Of the building should have the same
pitch, or our earthquake disturbance will
be sure to injure them. in earthquake
countries, too, he advises deep bitches
round: houses to- put off, the :ripp}es; along
the earth's surface.
Mr.. Milne has made yet another dis
covery. lie says that he has demon
strated that the interior Of the earth is
neither hollow nor liquid, but is marvel
ously rigid. even more rigid than cast
steel or the finest glass. He says that
his horizontal pendulums have registered
vibrations that have Travelled through the
very center Of the earth, and at a rate
much higher than if the globes interior
were more dense than the most rigid

A proposition has been made to the Do

to establish a cold-storage depot in the

was sold at Sotheby's in London the 9th

conceived the idea of committing the
forgeries while on visit to Stratford-

France to Utilize Waterfalls.

natural force Of French waterfalls was

THE LAKE SUPERIOR COPPER DIS


The production of metal "copper"
from this region during the current
year will amount to about 80, 200
tons. About IA, 600 men are en-
ployed underground and on the sur
face. There are not more than
twenty mines in operation, but several
of these like the Calumet and Hecla,
the Tamarack, the Quincy and the
Atlantic are ofworld- wide reputation.
Considered altogether the ore aver
ages less than q per cent metal,
but it is native, so that nothing but
crushing and concentration works are
required. The copper yielded is
very free from impurity, and can be
controlled and drawn into wire for
the market without passing through
any refining processes
