The Guam Earthquake.

Commander Seaton Schroeder, naval
rovernor of Guam, has sent to the Navy
Department detailed report of the dam
age caused in that island by the earth
quake of September 22. Fortunately, the tn,
disaster occurred in the daytime, as did
the hurricane of two years ago, and the
casualties included but one child and a
few of the townspeople. of Agana hurt.
There was considerable loss of property,
however, and funds are asked for to
make the necessary immediate repairs:
1t is feared that the rented building used
as a naval hospital is damaged beyond
repair, and the sick are being cared for
in nearby mortuary chapel pending the
completion of one ward of the Maria
Schroeder Hospital, when they will be
removed there. Commander Schroeder
requests $1,000 for this emergency work,
as there is no money in the island treas
ury. The total damage to the buildings
under the control of the bureau of yards
and docks will reach $500, the slight
expense being due to the fact that most
of the buildings were rented. The Ma,
rine Corps Jared worse, and $4,000 will
be needed to repair their property.

There are $4,000 more divorced wo-

PROFESSOR LOEB'S ELIXIR OF LIFE.
Experiments With Powerful Restorative for

Chicago. Ill. (Special) Prof. Jacques

light on the old problem OF life and

has been found to be a powerful re-
storativc for dying mammals. The ex-
periments, OF which DR.. Loeb told his
class, were made by an assistant, Prof.
Edward Lyons, in the laboratories at
the university.
"If a heart can be taken from baby
after death and the regular beat tenn
porarily restored by immersing it in a
solution OF salts argued DR.. Lyons,
why cannot the heart OF warm-blood-
cd animal be restored by an injection OF
salts into the veins, ii done when the
animal is at the point OF dcath?"
Dr. Lyons began his experiments
with the lowest forms OF mammal life
mice, then dogs and cats. Taking
the animals kept in the University OF
Chicago laboratories for experiment, he
brought them to a condition where life
was practically extinct; then by injec-
tons of sodium and calcium solutions
into their veins he was able to restore
for varying periods of time the heart
beat in its normal rhythm and strength.
The experiments we're completed sew

spoke OF the matter to his class had
they been made public.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Cheaper Ocean Pojtage.

A radical reduction d the postage
rates on mails TO the Leading commercial
nations of Europe will bd urged at triiS
session of Congress by Psstmaster-Gen-
eral Payne. 1t is corfidsntly expected
that in case the project is successful the
United States foreign Trade VIII DC
greatly stimulated. 1t IS believed ina.
the nations who are to be approached
with a view to being parties to the ar
rangement will readily give Their acquieS-
cence. III
The present rate is s cents per nan a
ounce on letters to foreign countries
save Canada and Mexico, between which
and this country the same postage rates
are applied as affect mail within TINS
country. 1t is proposed to put the Gov,
ernments of England, Germany and
France on the same footing. In view
of the greatly increased volume OF posta,,
business and the number of commercial
transactions between this country and
Europe the foreign rate is held to be
entirely disproportionate to the domestic
rate and serves as a detriment to the
business interests Of the country.
