THE RHYTHM OF EARTHQUAKES,
John Milne's Advice to Builders In
6haky Countries.

JOhn M1lue'o Advice to ButloefO In
6haky Countries.
Earthquakes have their pitch. and II
persons living in lands of seismic dis
turbances will build their houses out Of
tune with mother earth's shivers they
will be comparatively safe.
This ID what John Milne. or Earth
quake M;lne." ms he is called, says.
Mr.. Milne is the principal member Of
the seismic section Of the Royal So
ciety. and has for long time been
studying earth vibrations at Newport.
Isle Of Wight. where he has instru-
ments 80 delicate that they autOmat-
icaily record vibrations 90 slight that
1t is impossible to detect them In any
manner with the senses alone. His rec
ords show that the whole earth shiverD
every fifteen seconds.
BY means Of his horizontal pendu-
lums." as he calls them, he has ascer.
tanned the pitch Of earthquakes, and
80 advises that buildings 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 he, advises
deep bitches around houses to cut OF
the ripples along the earth's surface.
Mr.. Milne has made yet another dis
coyery, and says he has demonstrated
that the interior OF the earth IL neither
hollow nor liquid, but IL marvelOusly
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 q
rate much higher than II the globes In
terror were more dense than the most
|, rigid mineral known.
As he says, vibrations do not travel
rapidly through gases or fluids, and
very much more rapidly through dense
materials They travel through glass
as quickly as through any substance
scientists know of. but through the
earth's interior they travel two and
one-half times as fast as through glass.

DON'T ABUSE.

In another column will be OBJ
served a card over the signature OF
]. w. Thompson. This card eX-
plains itself.
We know nothing Of the merits
or dement's Of the cause leading
to abuse but trustees are elected
for a special purpose. They have
duties to be discharged Men are
Of different minds, and majorities
are supposed to know what is
best. Should the trustees prove
themselves by any act in
capable or unworthy to attend to
the business of the patrons Of the
school, to them they must answer.
We would advise harmony, how
ever; a pulling together, and if
the school is not aggressive rem
edy is at hand. Abuse of trus-
tees does not bring the best re-
suits. We would have the very
best schools for our people and
if the trustees don't attend to this,
other trustees may. We would
enjoin our people to free them
selves Of all s,ensions aud abide
willingly the decision Of the MI
joiities.

preferred. The parties must

preferred. lhe parties must
purge themselves. He says:
THE situation in Louisville is
growing brighter for the Republi-
cans, and it only remains for the
leaders to take firm stand to in
sure success this fall
"The recent primary held by
the Sapp machine was a iraud,
and a disgrace to the party, and
if it had been allowed to stand,
every chance of Republican sue
cess in Louisville and in the State
would have been destroyed.
"Now that it has been declared
off. the leaders Of the party should
take a firm stand. and not only
demand the removal OF MIR. Sapp
as Collector, but the resignation
of his committee. There should
be a new deal all around. A de-
cent primary or convention should
be held, and clean ticket placed
in the field.
"Sappism is simply a pocket
edition OF Goehelism. The inde-
pendent voters of Louisville viii
not tolerate such methods, and if
the Republicans hope 70 succeed
they must repudiate the whole
business, and show by their wol ks
that they are in earnest when they
declare that they are in favor of
honest elections, free ballot and
a fair count Otherwise, they do
not deserve to succeed.
Sappism is Republicanism. the
complete edition, and the so-called
Goebelism was a borrowed Re
publicanism.

THE TIRED DEMOCRATS.

1.-The unanimity with which
Democrats are repudiating Bryan
says the Baltimore American,
"proves that they are getting
tired of going into fight licked
before the first round. OF
course the American does not
state the case exactly right, but its
observation is SO "meaty" in the
abstract that the Enquirer, in pur-
suance of its policy of swapping up
everything that is good, does not
like to let it pass without notice.
The Enquirer says:
"'Repudiating Bryan is hardly
the right phrase. The Demo
Gratis seem to be simply acting for
themselves, declining to be tied
to Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Hill or any
body else. IL i'll becomes the
American to taunt the Democrats
with pursuing policy in the past
that assured licking before the
first round, If that claim has
truth in it it was the party Of
which the American is an able
and aggressive representative that
did the business. AS early as the
fall Of 1890 the Republican lead
ers in and out Of Congress began
to arrange for silver platform for
the Democrats again, and Tor the
denomination Of Mr.. Bryan for
President: The gold bill was in
vented for that purpose. 1t had
practical effect on the financial in
terests OF the country. 1t is hc-
ton. The men who have been
delving in the gold fields have
done more to solve the financial
problems and regulate the finances
tran all the legislation Of Congress
and all the wisdom of public men
e both parties. The gold bill
was simply an instrument to in
fame the Democrats 10 stick to
the text and l,anership Of 500.
The Ohio Democrats have
started the wave Of independence
Of Republican diclation, and the
Democrats of other states are fall
ing into line with alacrity that
proves beyond a doubt that they
were waiting and yearning for
something Of that soft The Col
umbus platform may not be a
final expression for 1904; but it is
good groundwork. 1t is not a
case Of reputation. 1t is simply
working up to date
The Republicans do not thrash
over their old straw They do
not repudiate or apologize for
President McKinleys former radi-
cal free silver sentiments. They
do not try to explain his wabbling
on the tariff question. They go
ahead and take up the things
which are the most convenient
for the moment, and contribute
all they can 10 the public forget
fullness of everything else.
Bryan may be repudiated and
his theories may be held in check,
but the day will dawn when they
will be accepted by the American
people, because they are right and
have been so demonstrated,

tic source, are absolutely reliable
There are upward Of 10, 900 people on
the Kiowa and Conanche border
Many of them are in dire straits for
daily means of subsistence, They are
mostly law.abidng citizens although n
few desperate characters are sprinkled
among them, Those he came in con-
tact with are small farmers who came
from Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nob.
rasia.

open for settlement after deducting the
territorial lands, such as government

In most instances the Indians will
only retain twenty acres and will rent
the balance
Over Q, 500 homc-scelters who fail to
draw land for themselves can lease the

tion the first two years being that the
land must be cultivated and q house
erected. Tho lessees will have no
