A Costly Funeral.

The most costly state funeral which
has ever taken place was perhaps that
of Alexander the Great. A round mill
ion was spent in laying Alexander to
his rest. The body was placed in a
coffin of gold. filled with costly arc
MATES. and a diaden WAS placed on the
head. The funeral car was embellished
with ornaments of pure gold. and its
weight was so great that it took eighty
four mules more than a year to convey
1t from Babylon to Syria.

THE RHYTHM OF EARTHQUAKES
John Milne'A Advice to Builders in
Shaky COuutries.

John Milne'a Advice to Builders In
Shaky Countries.
Earthquakes have their pitch, and II
persons living in lands of seismic dis
turbances will build their houses out Of
will be comparatively safe.
This is what John Milne, or Earth.
quake Milne" as he is called, says.
Mr.. Milne is the principal member of
the seismic section Of the Royal So
ciety, and has for a long time been
studying earth vibrations at Newport
Isle OF Wight. where he has instru.
ments SO delicate that they automat-
ically record vibrations so slight that
it is impossible to detect them in any
manner with the senses alone. His rec.
ords show that the whole earth shivers
every fifteen seconds.
BY means Of his horizontal pendu.
lums," as he calls them, he has ascer-
tanned the pitch Of earthquakes, and
SO 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.
covery, and says he has demonstrated
that the interior of the earth Is neither
hollow nor liquid, but Is 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
rate much higher than if 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.

FARMERS ARE GOING WEST,
Eastern AEr'culturist> Are Seeking
More Productive Lands.

Eastern Axricuiturists Are Seeking
More Productive Lands.
Not since the early SOS has there
been such movement of homeseekers
into the Northwestern States as there
Is now. Since the middle of February
there has been steady increase in the
number Of farming people who have
passed through st. Paul bound for
Washington. North Dakota, Oregon
and Idaho. 1t is explained that these
people. who go in large colonies, small
groups and by families, are native
Americans lmostly from the Eastern
and Southern States who have sold
their small farms in order to buy large
ones In a new section. For the money
which they have received for their
small holdings in the thickly settled
parts of the country they will be able
to buy many acres, which will allow
the parents to leave a farm to each
child.
There Is difference between this
movement and that which in the early
SOS gave so large population to the
Dakotas. Then the homeseekers took
up Government lands and many had
to mortgage their property either for
fare. implements and stock or for food
supplies until they should be abba to
raise q crop. A series OF bad years

SPORTS IN GENERAL
Upton Not Convinced by shamrock's
Defeat.
WANTS TO RACE COLUMBIA AGAIN
Borama Unable TO Race at Lex

THE TURF AND THE RINGs1DE

Sir Thomas Upton is far from satisfied
that the recent yacht races have conclu-
siVely demonstrated the Columbia to be
the better boat and 1t is now more than
evident that he would be glad to arrange
for another race
In conversation with an Associated Press
reporter on board the Erin yesterday, Sir
Thomas said ~
Notwithstanding we are whipped, still

member, l am not. disparagng the other
boat, or the New York Yacht Club in the
least. but the fact is that the other boat

tlons to that of the Columbia she could
have beaten her?''
mo, do not criticise my crew in the
least. Ihe other boat simply profited by
getting puffs of wind that we did not hap
pen to have I may add that there were
certain little features about the condition
or shamrock which might probably have
been improved on the last day of the race,
but there is no fault whatever to be found
with her handling"
Then you would like to have another
race?''
Yes, think it would be well to arrange
another race"
This falI?'
"Oh no, nothing would be done now be-
fore another year
How about the proposition to race with
exchanged crews?'
THAT never was my proposition"
The races are over" said Commodore
Ledyard of the New York Yacht Club, land
Columbia will be laid up for the winter. If
the owners of the yachts want to race, that
is their affair. The club has nothing to
do with it. The Shamrock, of course, could
not compete for the cup again until after
two years, unless a contest for it by some
other vessel has meanwhile interviewed"
Sir Thomas Upton has decided to keep
the Shamrock II In America this winter
with view of racing her next spring and
summer against the Constitution and Co.
lumbia.
The Shamrock is to be dismantled at once.
Her mast will be taken out so that she can
pass under the Brooklyn bridge, and she
is to be towed, after being stripped, to New
London, Conn.,, there to be laid up for the
winter with the Constitution, which will
also have berth at that place.
Sir Thomas Upton, is confined to his
yacht, the Erin, which is lying off West
26th street In the North river. His right
leg, which was hurt while he was boarding
the tender Porto Rico few weeks ago, is
giving him considerable pain. The strain
1t was subjected to during the recent races
is beginning to tell, and his doctor has or
dered absolute rest.
Elaborate preparations are being made
at the New York Yacht Club to fittingly
receive Sir Thomas at, the club tonight.

THE ASPHALT CONTROVERSY.
Both Parties to 1t Object to the Pr
posed Arbitration,


Both parties to the asphalt controversy,
the New York and Bermudez Company and
the Warner-Quinlan syndicate, haye de-
clined to enter into the arrangement for an
amicabe settlement of their troubles, the
foundation Of which was laid by Minister
Bowen at Caracas, Venezuela, last week
The New York and Bermudez Company
points out that a settlement of the kind
proposed would expose it to similar attacks
by individuals and corporations and that
no arbitration, save an international one, to
which Venezuela is made party, could
protect its rights. 1t already has asked for
such an arbitration.
The Warner-Quinlan syndicate is willing
to meet representatives Of the New York
company in this country in the effort to
compromise, but it objects strongly to Mr..
Bowen's proposed arbitration on the ground
that the same purpose can be served by
the legal trial now going on in Venezuela,
which already has progressed at consider
able expense to the parties. In this state
of the case the Department of State can
do nothing but wait the developments in
Venezuela.
