Comparison of Those in Philippines

Specially Interesting Report of
George +. Becker, After Care

of interest in connection with the re-
cent volcanic eruptions in the West In
dies, is the report of George +. Becker,
on the geology of the Philippine is
lands which has just appeared in Part
Ill. of the Twenty-first Annual Report
of the United States Geological Survey,
and which contains a review of every
thing bearing upon the geology Of
these islands.
The report deals in general with the
geologic and economic features of the
islands, from cXtant reports on the
subject, and from studies in the field.
so far as they could be carried on dur
ing the disturbed period of ls9s-'99,
though geologizing under arms and
with military escort was found to be
more exciting than profitable.
In many respects the Philippine is
lands so closely resemble the West
Indies, especially in being the scene
of violent past and present volcanic en-
ergy, that the chapter of the report on
the active and extinct volcanoes of the
archipelago is at this time particularly
interesting. While il was possible to
visit but few Of these mountains ow-
ing To the hostility of the natives.
much valuable information from local
and other sources was collected. For
ty-nine of the eruptive mountains
were located among the islands, and
their attitudes and the dates of their
eruptions obtained. Conspicuous
among them is Mount Apo, the highest
mountain in the Philippines, which
rises l0,16l feet above the level of the
sea. At Camiguin de Mindanao, one Of
the most interesting volcanoes of the
group, a cone nearly 1000 feet in height
has risen since 1871 over what was
formerly lake. the basin Of which
was presumably an ancient crater.
Mayor, or the volcano of Albay, is said
ia he the most Symmetrically beautiful
cone in the world; and the famous Taal
volcano, situated on small volcanic
island in the lake Of 9onhnn. is read
lily accessible from Manila, The ac-
counts Of the eruptions If these and
other volcanoes of the group bear q
striking resemblance to those of the
recent outburst Of Mount Pclec in Mar
Unique.
In drawing comparisons between the
volcanoes of the Philippines and those
of the Dutch East Indies, Mr.. Becker
notes that "Papandayang, in West
Java, had a great eruption in 1772, de-
stroying 40 villages. Galung Gung in
1922 destroyed ia villages and it is
SUNNI measure of the violence of the
krakatoa explosion of 1883, that over
10000 people persisted"

SUBDIVIDES A MOLECULE.
Eastern Scientist Declares That He
Has Also Identified New
nv stories.

Some unique discoveries in physical
chemistry have recently been made
by Nevil Monroe Hopkins. b. S. NJ. S.
of the Columbian university of this
city. He says that he has subdivided
a molecule.
In addition to this. in research work
upon the electrical and magnetic prop
critics of those minute electrically
charged bodies called lions" by mod
ern scientists, Prof. Hopkins brought
Hght-fer- the first time the identi-
fication of a new ion. with the estab-
lishment OF the fact that a chemical
molecule may form more than two
kinds of ions, depending upon condi-
tions.
He has shown that ions are infu-
enced directly by friction and has sue
ceeded in stopping them and showing
them up at will through the applica-
tion OF friction, and starting them
again upon, their journeys as readily
as if but handful of marbles. The
ions may be moved by static induc-
ton. and by novel application of a
delicate galvanometer the existence
of "free ions" may be proven

MURDEROUS AUTOMOBILES.
DIR. George &. LOrimer. Noted Divine,
Denounces Rich Owners of
Speedy Machines.

Rev. DR.. George c. Lorimer
preached the annual sermon for the
American Tract society the other day.
In the course of his remarks he said:
"The men who ride down people in
automobiles are generally rich men.
They are likely to be persons of cul-
tlvatlon, and personally their feel
ings toward the poor are doubtless
amiable enough. But when it is q
matter of interfering with their
amusement the life of poor man
counts for nothing with them. Every
life that is sacrificed in that way
ought to be paid for in the electric
chair"
The doctor ridiculed Matthew Ar
nold's definition of God as a power
not ourselves which makes for right
eousness.
. What good would it do to tell
some poor wreck of humanity about
such God as that?" he said. But
tell such man that God Is our IA
Their and the effect of that kind of
teaching is shown in results. What
people want in the pulpit is religious
instruction, and if we don't give it to
them they will get it from Mrs. Hum
phry Ward, or George Macdonald, or
elsewhere"

WANT BETTER RIFLEMEN.
Bill Before Congress Provides for
Prizes fer Contest In MARKS
manshIp In Army.

To promote better craftsmanship
in the army is the aim of q bill re-
Gently introduced in the house from
the military committee. The bill ag
propriates $4,000 annually for nj
tional trophy and prizes for rival
competition.
II is claimed that in the war in
South Africa the success of the
Beers in repulsing vastly superior
numbers has been due to expert use
of the rifle.
The legislation is IN line with the
legislation proposed in several other
countries. notably Switzerland and
Great Britain.
The necessity of the proposed leg
islation is expressed as follows:
To qualify a regiment Of volunteers as
marksmen. each man to fire $50 shots. with
a range having ten targets. II would re-
quire two months. When troops are urgent
ly needed sufficient time for target prac-
tice cannot be had. In 1893 several volun-
teer regiments fired not more than 10 shots
per man before going into action.
The feature of the constitution OF
the United States and of the laws
enacted under il in 1899, which made
all citizens liable for service in thA
militia and which encourages the
carrying and handling of arms, es-
tablishing the right of every citizen
to do so, might well he extended and
might be the animating spring of
national system of target practice
by which all citizens fit for active
service shah be invited to qualify for
this important attribute of good
soldier-his ability to use the tool
of war with accuracy and skill.

MERRILL's BODY FOUND.
No Longer Any Doubt That Tracy, the IL
capped Convict Killed His CompAn-
ion In the Forest

Seattle. Wash, July 15.-There is
/ absolutely nothing being done by the
posses searching for Tracy. Sheriff
Cudihee's orders for all deputies in
the outlying districts to report at
his Office in Seattle is being slowly
obeyed. Sheriff Cudihee himself re-
mains at Ravensdale with a small
posse.
A special from Chehalis says: The
body of Merrill, who escaped from
the Oregon penitentiary with Tracy
has just been found. A bullet wound
in the back reveals the nature of his
death and substantiates the story
told by Tracy about the duel in the
forest. The remains were in a some
what advanced stage of decompoS
sition, but were still recognizable.
The last time Merrill was seen in
company with Tracy was on June &c,
in Tumwater canyon, when both es-
capped their pursuers.
Merrill was killed at six o'clock Sat
urday morning, June 90. The body
was found by Mrs. Wagner and her
l2-year-old son, Of Napavine, yester-
day afternoon, who will claim the re-
ward of $2,750. While picking berries
they discovered the corpse thrown
over log and jammed between two
tHee stumps few feet off the main
road.
The sheriff guarded the corpse last
night and this afternoon the coroner
brought IL in. A bullet hole Is plain
ly seen in the back and also one in
the wrist. Another is believed to
be In the neck. Three Winchester
shells were found, one behind cedar
tree at the roadside and two about
ten feet from the corpse, The in
dications are that Tracy fred the first
shot from behind the tree and then
the assassination of his
dying pal and brother-in-law. Tracy
first told the story that he killed
Merrill on July 3.

Were Rescued.

chicago, July 15.-Two persons
persisted in the lake last night and
eight others fought hours for life
olinging to the overturned yacht Arab
~, owned by John II. Cameron
cashier of the National Bank of the
Republic. The yacht was struck sud-
denly by the fierce storm which swept
over the city late in the evening, and
capsized. The boat is a 2l-footer and
one of the best-known yachts in the
harbor. The dead are: Mary Taylor,
10 years old, i4l Fifty-First street,
and Harry Jensen, II years old. The
rescued are; John II. Cameron and
his wife, Miss Cameron, Miss Mamie
Goodman, William Corey, E. S. Has
kins and Arthur Barber, skipper of
the Arab Nv.
When the storm struck the yacht
no attempt had been made to reef
sail and with all its canvas flying,
the boat with ten merrymakers
aboard who were wholly unconscious
OF danger went over in a flash, filled
instantly and left eight persons
struggling for life in the waters of
the lake three miles from shore.
Their predicament was given added
terror by the fury of the water,
dashed by the storm and the con-
slant lightning. BY heroic efforts on
the part of the men. the women were
supported In the water until they
could be given q firm hold on the
overturned boat. The yacht as il
left its moorings had fortunately
towed along behind it small yawl.
Setting to work to right the yawl,
which had been dragged under and
filled with water when the larger
boat went over, the men finally got
all but Cameron and Barber and the
TWO drowned persons into It and
started for the long row to the shore
In the face of the choppy water and
strong wind which made it her
oulean task to make the boat move

eron was in state of collapse owing
to his anxiety for the safety of his
wife and Miss Cameron and grief at
the death of young Jensen and Miss
Taylor whom he knew had not been
saved. The bodies Of the two young
persons drowned were found in the
cabin Of the yacht when the boat
had been towed into the harbor at |
seven a. m. Presumably the boy and
girl who had met death, had taken
refuge in the yachts cabin when the
storm broke and were unable to ex-

went over.

TWAS A CASE OF
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
Hicks Wilcox, a Young Farmer
Of Bates County, No., Has
His Head Bumped Hard.
COST OF EXPERIENCE, SIS.

X. c. World, 18th.
Gust charge that up to experience
and go your way rejoicing" said
Lieutenant Kennedy to Hicks Wilcox
a verdant youth from Butler Mo-,
at Central police station yesterday
afternoon.
Wilcox had complained that he had
been side stepped for $25 in cash, S1S
in dry goods and a ticket to Okla
homa City, by fair damsel whom he
met Friday evening near Eighteenth
and Walnut streets and who con-
WINGED him that she knew all his kin
folks.
Hicks, who is the son of a well-to-
do farmer, living in Bates county,
was on his way to Oklahoma City to
locate and had stopped off in Kan
sas City to purchase some farming
utensils. With several implement
trade journals in his pockets he
drifted along "Carbolic Acid row in
lower Walnut street, when he was ac-
costed by a woman who called him
"Blondy" and as that was the name
by which his feminine admirers in
Bates county addressed him he hove
to and listened.
In short space Of time his hand
painted necktie had made hit with
the new acquaintance and she was
smitten. 1t was case of love at
first sight and Hicks asked her to &C
company him to Oklahoma City and
share his Joys and sorrows. She con-
scented but blushingly informed him
that the end tub which she had been
holding down, in nearby laundry,
had been retired from active service
during the week and she, in conse-
quence, owed the 'lady OF the house"
where she was boarding $25. Hicks
was there with the green goods and
paid this trife. ~
Then she needed clothes in which
to make her presentable to hisfriends
to be in Oklahoma City. Wilcox
accompanied her to a dry goods
store and paid $1Sfor clothes. Then
he gave her $50 to buy two tickets
to Oklahoma City and after purchas-
ing the tickets she gave him back one
ticket and 81 in cash, telling him the
transportation cost $43.
Still he did not murmur, but hired
q hack to take the charmer to the
depot, he seorning to ride in one OF
the Corrigan gondolas.
When they arrived at the depot the
woman gave him a note and said:
"Take that across the street and buy
me those"
Wilcox obeyed and when the man
in the ticket Office, to whom he pre-
sented the note, laughed, the young
man from Bates county became mys-
titled.
Sorry" said the railroad, man
but we don't sell hose here.
{ When Wilcox returned to the depot
his charmer had disappeared. He
