EMPEROR WILLIAMS GIFT.
How He Decided to Present United
States with a Statue.

states With statue.
Emperor Williams purpose of Civ
ing statue of Emperor Frederick the
Great to the United States was seem.
ingly quite suddenly formed, says a
Berlin dispatch to the New York Jour
nal
A few evenings ago his majesty was
holding an informal reception in the
court box of the new theater at Wies-
baden between the acts of the opera,
"The Merry Wives of Windsor" when
he turned to Professor Uphues. the
sculptor, and said:
"Uphues. want you to make anoth-
er statue of Frederick the Great"
To this the professor replied:
81 shall be delighted, your majesty"
This was the first the sculptor had
heard of the project, and it was ap-
parently the first that any one had
heard of the emperor's intention. His
majesty then told Professor Uphues
that the statue was for presentation to
the people of the United States, and
his cablegram to President Roosevelt
on the subject was written and sent
the next day.

THE VOLCANO BELT.
Lines Around the Earth Where the
Crust Is Thinnest.

Crust Is Thinnest.
Mans habit of delving into the earth
for both scientific and industrial rea-
sons has made what may be called the
internal mechanism of this old orb a
matter of deep concern at all times,
and volcanic fiurries, such as that in
Martinique. tend to increase and inten-
sify public interest in matters relating
to the earth's interior, says the New
Orleans Times Democrat. Forces which
bring about these surface manifesto
lions of internal disorder follow the
law of least resistance They break out
where it is most convenient to do so.
Scientists have been able to trace the
line along which possible volcanic erup-
tons are arranged, and, while the line
is somewhat erratic, it is definite
enough. and the frequent disturbances
within the range agreed upon have am.
ply established the correctness of the
conclusions reached.
The following from encyclopedia au-
thorities with reference to the matter
may not be without interest in view of
the fearful disaster in Martinique: Vol
canic action. according to the authori-
ties, is limited to particular regions of
the earth In these regions the active
vents are disturbed at intervals and are
generally arranged in a linear direc-
ton. The Pacific ocean is bounded by
an almost unbroken line of active vol
canoes. Beginning in the New Shet-
lands. where there is an active volcano
in latitude 62 degrees 55 minutes south.
We pass the TERRA del Fuego and then
on to the Andes. which are throughout
their whole course volcanic although
the great centers of volcanic action are
confined to Chile Peru, the neighbor-
hood of Quito, Guatemala and Mexico.
The line Is continued northward by the
burning mountains of northwestern
America, and the Aleutian islands car
ry the chain across to Kamchatka. on
the Asiatic side. Here. turning south
ward, the line may be traced through
the Kurde islands. Japan, Formosa. the
Philippines, Moluccas, New Guinea and
the Solomon and New Hebrides groups
to New Zealand
From Celebes branch proceeds in a
northwesterly direction through Java
and Sumatra to Barren island. In the
bay of Bengal. and even beyond this
we find region in northern India sub
ject to earthquakes, which may lead
us on the one hand to the volcanic re-
gion of Tartary or on the other
through Asia Minor to the Greek ar
chipelago, Sicily. Naples and on to the
Canaries and Cape de verdes Accord
ing to the geological theory the lines
thus traced over the whole globe would
represent rising lands where the crust
rs less strong and SO less liable to re-
press the expansive power below.

The lines that are under the control
of these seven men are the main thor
oughfares of the country. They con-
meet with the three ports of the west
San Francisco, Portland and Seattle.
They run through the great wheat
states of the middle west, through the
coal, steel and cotton districts of the
east and south and reach every i'm
portant terminal on the northern lakes
and Atlantic seaboard. Today this
committee of seven American citizens,
more powerful than any congress or
parliament in the world, is reaching
for the supremacy of both sea and
land.
Sixteen steamship lines and forty
four railroad systems! On land mile
age of 108,500 and on sea tonnage of
100000! Three hundred of the largest
steamships in the world and 10000 of
the best equipped passenger and freight
trains! Such is the outfit of the new
worldwide transportation trust con-
trolled by seven men and practically
operated by one-J. Pierpont Morgan.
The railway mileage controlled by
this trust is greater than the combined
mileage Of Great Britain, Russia, Ger
many, Spain, Holland and Belgium,
and the 300 vessels which will sail I'M
der its orders cannot be duplicated
from the merchant marine of every
ocean.
1t will soon be impossible for tramp"
steamers to deliver freight at any
American port without being at the
mercy of the new trust. The three new
piers now being built in New York city
between Twenty-third and Little
Twelfth streets and which will cost
$9,000,000 have been asked for by
Clement A. Griscom, the head of the
new steamship trust.
1t was recently stated that thou
sand tramp" steamships were laid up
in various ports of the United States
and Great Britain by reason of the
dearth of freight. Shippers predict that
'sthe tramp steamship must go" now
that the ship trust has been organized
and federated.
The total capital stock of the rail
roads of America is over $6000,0 900, 600.
Consequently it is not an exaggeration
to say that Mr.. Morgan's transporta-
ton trust of railroads and steamships
has a total financial strength of 81 $780,
10000, making it the richest and most
powerful industrial combination that
the world has ever known.

Cost of Martinique Horror to Papers.

The public has no conception at all
what the Martinique disaster is cost
ing the newspapers, says the New York
Herald. The average man pays little
attention to the special cable" line
and reads the stirring news without a
thought as to the cost of it. When it
is known that cable messages from
Fort-de- France cost $2.15 word and
urgent messages $6.45 for every word
some conception can be had of the cost
of covering this calamity. But that is
not all. There are the tugs. the special
men and the photographers. All this
mounts into the thousands, but after
all the big papers in New York feel
that it is worth 1t, and no expense has
been spared TO get this immense story.

Some of the surgical experts in
London are reported as having
compared the operation on the
King to the operation performed
on President KcKinley immedi-
ately after he was shot. Both
operations were, of course, intes-
final operations, but the meth
DDS employed by the Kings sur
geons differed from the methods
employed by President McKin-
ley's surgeons in one important,
some authorities think vitality
important, particular.
In the case of the King, the OPP
orator completed his work by in
serting two drains into the
wound, packing it with atiseptic
gauze and closing it temporarily.
In the case of the late president,
the surgeons closed the wound
permanently, leaving no drain
age at all. After any intestinal
operation, where a septic condi-
ton is found, there is always a
greater or less discharge of pus
for several days after the opera
ton. Unless the wound is drain
ed, the discharge must be made
into the intestines.
The Kings wound was drain
ed. President McKinlev's was
not. In the Kings case the
drains will be removed when the
septic discharge ceases, the gauze
will be removed and the wound
be permitted to heal by granula-
ton. The president died. The
King may live. The wound of
the one was drained. The wound
of the other was not. What the
surgeons call drainage may mean
life to Edward of England. The
lack Of it may have been the
cause of a CONFERENCE.-THE mourn
ing for the death Of William Nc

H. L. Bryant has sick horse, aflict-
ed according to the doctor books
with a sore throat.
A. c. Collins had a very bad fall one
dav last week while at work on his
barn. He was carrying a plank and
slipped, falling through from the first
floor to the basement, rendering him
unconscious and bruising his left ear
and face. He has been unable to give
but little attention to work since, but
expects in few days to be all right
again.
Herman Bryant went up to the AS
bestos Mines Sunday, "just to look

much, everything going off very pleas
antlv until he had started for home, at
which time a pack of hungry dogs
bounced upon him-one of them grab
bling him by the left leg, perforating
his trousers, breaking the skin and rails
ing black and blue spot on his calf.
Bryant was very much surprised at this
attack, as he thought the dogs were
only playing, as they "all wagged their
tails at him" He is of the opinion,
however, that his leg would have been
taken off had he not suddenly yanked
it away. He intends going up that way
again very soon, but says he will not go
mining for asbestos, but for dogs, as he
will take along something that will cure
them.

The overwhelming vote in the House
in favor of the Senate Panama Canal
bill seems to have been due to the
fact that some of the Nicaragua ad-
vocates are confident that the Prpsi-
dent will not conclude any contract
with the Panama Canal Company,
but will decide that the Nicaragua
route is the only practical one. They
argue that the Panama people can
not sell us anything that is worth
the price they demand. But that re-

A Theory and a Fact.

When Mr.. Partridge withdrew Mr..
Proctor's name, some good Clement
man of standing could have sent dozens
of voters to the Clement column by APP
pealing to the Proctor and Mccullough
men to support his ndidate.-Brattle-
boro Phoenix.
If our recollection of events is correct
something happened about the time the
Clement delegates attempted to speak
after Mr.. Partridge had concluded. The
convention was perfectly willing to
hear Mr.. Partridge pull his candidate
out of the race and throw himself into
McCullough's arms, but when the Glenn
ent delegates wished to speak it was an
other story. They feared that some
thing might happen, and the result
was chorus of howls that drowned
every effort of the Clement men to make
themselves heard, and continued until
the delegates left the hall. Such was
the opportunity given the Clement men
to swell their column.-Rutland Herald.
We are strongly of the opinion
that the recollection of events "
of the Herald, as given above is
far from correct. Something did
happen, but it was not what the
Herald would have the people,
not present at the convention,
believe. Jones simply "lost his
head" Had he remained in the
convention he would have learn
ed that an opportunity was Civ
en- him to speak. The fact is he
didn't want to stay, and that is
the reason why he left. That is
history and nothing more can
be made Of it.

Ping Pong has a practical value,

flies as the bane of her lite. If there
is fly in the house, and she knows
it, she is positively miserable until
the insect is either killed or driven
out. She used to go around with
newspaper folded up into weapon
of destruction, banging away at them
with that, but since the ping-pong set
came | haven't seen her doing this.
