East Louisiana Improve
ments.

The East Louisiana Railroad en-.
ioyed, during the summer which is
just drawing to close, the most
prosperous season Of its career.
The passenger traffic to resorts in
st. 1smmany was never 80 larg 9,
and the freight movement was IN
excess of anything ever known.
The new management has been,
and is still, spending money freely
in improvements, aud IN lettering
the physical condition Of the road.
During the last two years, not less
than $50, 900 has been spent in this
direction, and a great deal Of the
line has WITNESSED the substitution
of 6O-pound rails for 40-pound.
Next year will witness still
greater strides. By the time the
season opens, the road will operate
a chair car, and work on the extern
sion to Franklinton, in Washing
ton parish, will have been cotton
we'll under way. This extension
will open up great forests of vlr-
gin pine, and some exceedingly rich
stretches Of farming lands, besides
touching some prosperous towns
which are not now enjoying COM
munication with. the outer world
by rail. President Frank b.
Hayne, Of the East Louisiana, was
seen yesterday and asked for a
statement Of the condition along
the road, aud the plans for the fu.
ture. He said:
sWe handled more business this
ssmmer than ever before IN the
history of the road. Every one of
the St. Tammany resorts had an
extremely prosperous year, and
our passenger traffic was very heavy.
Our freight business was also more
than satisfactory.
1.-The East Louisiana now has
6O-pound rails as far as Abita
Springs, and We will continue re-
placing the 40-pound rails until
Covington is reached. Next sea.
son we will operate char cars on
our trains for the convenience of
our patrons.
Gin the course of a year, the road
will be extended TO Franklintou, q
distance of thirty miles. Thepre.
liminary surveys have already been
completed, and the people along
the projected route are naturally
anxious to have the road rushed
through Plcayune, Sept. %.

CHARLOCK
t E MAN
Temporal rily Takes
Chas. WiIcox's
Place.
FINAL DECISION
IS POSTPONED
Several Names Talked Over fol
the Position Of Permanent
Secretary of Board.

The Board of Health at its regular
weekly meeting held yesterday after
noon, appointed C. Charlock, register
of births and marriages, as temporary
secretary of the board. to fill the va
cancy caused by the discharge of
Charles Wilcox The appointment is
made pending the consideration of ap-
plications for the position, the board
should be obtain in all cases where it
was possible. Mr.. Charlock has for
many years been stn able assistant in
the Board of Health office, and in var
ious capacities has given satisfaction as
a careful, conscientious and energetic
worker.
The question of Wilcoxs permanent
successor was brought up toward the
close of the meeting, and the matter
was thoroughly discussed. F. c. Smith
suggested the name of Mr. Charlock,
as he believed in promotion by civil
service rules.
Attorney General Dole suggested the
name of Harry Mossman, former
clerk in his office, and at present clerk
to Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth. He
stated that the young man had entered
his office as a messenger, but he told
the high sheriff it was a waste of good
timber to keep him in a place where
/ there was little prospect for advance
ment, and he was accordingly promot-
ed to an important clerkship in the
high sheriff's department. Mr.. Dole
recommended him as very compe-
tent, absolutely honest and industrious
man.
DR. Sloggett proposed the name of
Arthur tombstone. whom he described
as man we'll known in the community,
well acquainted with books. a conscien-
tious worker and man of science, and
these attributes he believed fitted him
for the position of secretary. He was
a personal friend of his. but that
didn't cut any figure whatever" DR..
Sloggett in advancing the claims of
Mr. Johstone, said he did not believe
any one could be gotten TO I'LL Mr..
Charlock's position If he was promoted.
F. c. Smith did not believe in keeping
a man at lower salary all his life,
simply because he filed the office so
well that it would be difficult to find
a successor. If a man was competent
ne should be given the benefit of the
larger salary.
President Cooper read an application
(which lay on his desk. sent in by ]. NJ.
Riggs. brother-in-law 20 Judge Hum
phreys.
The selection of a permanent secre-
tary will be made within the next two
or three weeks. In this connection
Mr. Mott-Smith announced that he
was to leave for the coast, to be gone
at least three weeks. and possibly
longer. and he asked permission to
hand in his resignation to the president
of the board, TO be acted upon in case
OF any urgent need. Otherwise the res
ignation will be withheld until his re-
turn. The board granted his request.

felt Several of these points lie within
the earthquake belt uader discussion.
They generally correspond in location
with places where the earths crust is
heavily weighted and presumably seri-
ously fractured.
Take. for instance the five points
where the earthquakes were felt last
week. Each indicates a spot where
gigantic burden presses upon the rocky
shell. The Hawaiian Islandg are sim
ply the SUBMITS Of a group of enor-
nous mountains: California marks the
western edge of the broadcast and most
tcompicated portion of the Rocky
Mountain uplift; the Alps of Europe
border the northern side of the Medi-
fterranean region of earthquakes; the
far mightier system of the Himalayas
and their related mountains. and the
volcanic peaks of Japan rising on the
verge of wonderfully steep and pro-
found furrow in the oceans bottom,
show the situation of the great earth
quake centers of Asia
One of the most important questions
raised by such phenomena relates to
the increase or decrease of volcanic and
earthquake forces. Has the globe yet
reached a point in its history where
geological changes may be expected
soon practically to cease, or has it yet
many violent upheavals and subsi-
dences in store? Will Hawaii become
in the future a greater or a lesser CEN
/ ter of disturbance of the earth's crust
( As far as the information it furnishes
goes. the moon seems to tell us that
the last scene in a planets history be
! fore the destruction of all life on its
surface is scene of extreme and fiery
violence. Evidently the close of the
moons career as a planet possessing
some resemblance to the earth.if it
ever really had such resemblance-was
marked by a grand outburst of vol
tcanic enegies which rent and shattered
il from end to end. and left its surface
a petrified chaos. But the telescope
shows that on the moon, too, there
were regions where no volcanoes
sprouted although there could hardly
have been any spot on that devasted
little globe where the shock of the final
earthquake failed to be disastrous.
All this would appear more startingly
significant for us if the moon did not
50 widely differ from the earth in
magnitude On account of the earth's
great comparative mass it may never
become as the moon was, the victim of
its own explosive violence.
There is one fact connected with the
recent earthquakes which ought not to
he omitted They occurred at. or near,
time when the moon was both in the
fun phase and in perigree or at its
nearest point TO the earth.-Garrett P

VOLCANIC IjPHEAVALS HERE
MAKE CALIFORNIA QUAKE

a belt of the earth lying between
the twentieth and fortieth parallels of
north latitude and extending complete
~ around the globe has just exper-
fenced an extraordinary disturbance
which suggests many interesting ques-
lions as TO the part which earthquakes
may play in the ultimate fate of our
planet. California, Hawaii. Japan,
China and Italy have all been more or
less severely shaken. and all nearly at
the same time.
Thus it appears that America, the
Pacific Ocean, Asia and Europe were
last week involved in a chain of earth
quakes encircling the globe in the north
temperate zone. Since il has been
proved by means of seismographic in
struments that the shocks of a great
earthquake is transmitted directly
through the rocky ball of the earth, the
suggestion that the recent earthquakes
were not isolated phenomena gains in
probability.
The idea of a highway of earth
quakes-a line of fractures in the crust
of the globe, linking the places which
have simultaneously suffered and par
ticularly Hawaii and California-natur-
ally suggests itself. In this respect of
the matter our new possessions in the
Pacific acquire a fresh and startling
interest for these islands form one of
the most powerful volcanic centers on
earth. 1t is known that at some dis
tance off the California coast the ocean
bottom is peculiarly liable to upheav-
ais. and it is not impossible that SINH
lar conditions prevail all the way out
to Hawaii.
1t is not necessary. however. to as
sumo that a great shock originating in
those islands should be transferred all
the way through the bottom of the
Pacific to our coasts in order TO pro-
duce earthquakes in California. II
similar conditions prevail in the un-
DERIVING rocks a single cause affecting
the crust of the earth would produce
simultaneous shocks in widely separated
places linked together by the invisible
framework deep beneath violent
disturbance in Hawaii might be trans
mftted in this way to California rocks
without manifesting itself a interme-
date points of the ocean bed, but run
ming through the skeleton of the earth
far below the bottom of the ocean.
And even more distant places than
California may cOnceivably be affected
by d great shock originating in the
center of the Northern Pacific. The
earth appears to have upon its surface
many critical points-aH more or less
intimately associated despite their dis
lance apart-wheFe internal disturb
ances ere most frequently and violently
