impossible to figure out ITS fate but
both sides clmm they have won toe

the growing west and they may
for time retard our growth but

MEANING OF NINE CLOSING.

The intimation that all coal miners may
be induced to Join the anthracite miners IN
a sympathetic strike calls attention to the
possibility Of a condition which will not
only close every industry, but will cause
famine in every considerable city in the
country. 1t does not seem possible that
such strike as will result in the closing
Of all the coal mines can be effected.
Nevertheless it is well to consider what it
would mean. 1t would mean the closing
of every considerable factory in the coun-
try in a week after it were declared; it
would tie up every railway train in the
country. because railroad managers could
not purchase fuel; the stopping of trains
would prevent the shipment of food, which
would cause an advance in prices at once
and create a scarcity of provisions in the
larger cities that could only be compared
to a famine. All the large cities would
soon reach the condition Of starvation, and
in the smaller ones the situation would not
be much better. Coal and what coal makes
is the power that moves the machinery of
the world. Close the mines, and the in
dustries and real life of the country will be
brought to a standstill. Food cannot be
transported and when food cannot be de-
starvation. Moreover, all would suffer- but
those who would suffer most keenly are
the millions who depend upon the wages of
day after day for subsistence. Those who
have money or credit can lay in a store
of food and suffer less, but those who buy
from day to day with the wages earned
from day to day will confront starvation
the hour that the mines close and the trains
bearing food can no longer be moved be-
cause of lack of fuel.
Who will gain by strike which would
close every coal mine in the country? Not
one labor organization and not one man in
the anthracite coal region, since starvation
will come to that section as soon as to
others. True, the anthracite miners de-
clare they are prepared for a long strike,
which means that they have money to pur-
chase supplies for the strikers, but how
can they purchase supplies, when by their
action every railroad train in the country
shall be stopped for lack of coal to make
steam? Can it be possible that these men
who are threatening the closing Of all the
coal mines appreciate the consequences of
such a policy? 1t is probable that many
fairly intelligent people whose sympathies
are enlisted with those who are urging this
extensive strike have not brought them
selves to consider the immeasurable calami-
ties which the closing of the coal mines
would involve, and may be advocating it.
Before they go farther let them do little
prudent thinking.

rejection had. so acted upon a sensitive
mind and a frail physique mat he fell Ill
Immediately after his examination by the
presbytery and never rallied. During de-
lirious moments he mourned over the pres
bytery's decision, thus showing what was
foremost In his mind. Professors of Union
Seminary are by no means reticent con-
cerning the matter, one being quoted as
saying: 'I trust that any uncertainty that
poor Noll may have had in regard TO the
strict historicity of Adam may not have
worked his exclusion from the presence of
the Redeemer, and l should like also TO be
able to hope that there is no sense in which
it may be said that the New York Presby
terry is chargeable with his murder" The
fact Of the reconsideration is matter for
congratulation however. 1t means that not
only for the Presbyterian pulpit but for
Presbyterian pews a greater degree of free
dom is officially granted, and that those
who are unable to regard Adam as
sacred being are not to be regarded as
dangerous heretics. Whether this liberty
covers certain other allegorical tales of the
Old Testament remains TO be seen, but for
what it does grant congratulations are due.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Noll now knows. perhaps.
whether or not Adam was.

that no measurement can be made Of them.
This gradual cooling of the earths crust
and the fall of great areas of rock and other
matter into the molten mass within may
have something to do with causing earth
quakes and volcanic eruptions. Another
scientist than the one above quoted writes:
The cause of the rise of the molten rock in
a volcano Is still a matter of discussion.
Certain geOlogists contend that steam is
the sole motive power: while others con-
slider that the lava is forced to the surface
owing 10 pressure on the reservoir from
which ii comes. The view perhaps most
favorably entertained at present, in refer
ence TO the general nature Of volcanic erup-
uons, is that the rigid outer portion Of the
earth becomes fractured, owing principally
10 movements resulting from the Shrinking
of the cooling inner mass. and that the in
tensely hot material reached by the assures,
previously solid owing to pressure, becomes
liquid when pressure is relieved, and is
forced TO the surface. AS the molten ma
terial rises it inVades the Water-charged
rocks near the surface and acquires steam,
or the gases resulting from the decompo-
which produces the most conspicuous and
at times the most terrible phenomena ac-
companying eruptions.
Passing from theories to conditions, the
recent volcanic eruptions in two of the
West India islands indicate that they are
all of volcanic origin, with probably a sub
terranean connection between them. The
st. Vincent eruption was undoubtedly SYM
pathetic with that of Mount Pelee in Mar
Unique. The eruptions have probably made
great changes in the bottom of the ocean
in that vicinity, elevating it in some places
and lowering 1t in others, thus changing the
depth of the water and requiring new sur
veys and charts for the safety of naviga-
ton. From a geological point of view it is
probable that the whole chain of islands in
the Caribbean sea is undergoing a change
from island to continental structure, and
that in the course of time, centuries or
ages, the whole chain will be a new con-
tinent connected by land surface through
out. This view is fully justified by scien-
tifc deductions from what has occurred
in the past.
