Colonel Henry C. Demming, who is
connected with the United States Geo
logical Survey, has recently made a
remarkable suggestion for the securing
of heat and steam from the center of
the earth. lie says that the recent
seismic outbreaks have again called
attention to the awful power which Is
walled up in the center of the earth,
and which he thinks should be made
use OF by man to supply his wants. He
calls attention to the fact that at Pitts
burg, where the deepest hole has been
made, supply of hot water is always
available. This hole is 5000 feet deep
and he says that il it were made 5000
feet deeper steam could be secured
In order to utilize this heat in prac-
teal manner he would dig two holes
located not far from each other, and at
u depth OF $1,000 feet connect the two
by means Of heavy charges of some
explosive. He says IL would then be
possible TO pour cold water into one OF
these holes and il would flow out OF the
other, having been heated to the boil
ing point by its passage through the
earth.

THE DRINK QUESTION NOW
AGITATING THE GERMAN PEOPLE

The drinking habits Of the people
lative regulation in Germany as they
have lately been in France. says the
Philadelphia Record. A resolution has
been proposed and adopted without OPP
position in the Prussian Diet request
ing the ministry to prepare bill to inn
pose more rigid restrictions on tho
liquor traffic. Count Douglas. a de-
scendant Of Scotch soldier of fortune,
who submitted the resolution. declared
that while he is not an abstainer and
likes to drink good beer or wine on
proper occasions he is nevertheless
dweeply impressed with the injury in
flicted IN Germany by excessive con-
sumption of alcoholic beverages. lie
asserted that the Germans spend b.
900 900 600 marks $3.50, 900, 000D a year
in drink. twice the amount of the com.
bined army and navy budgets. One
third Of the inmates of insane asylums
in Germany are victims of intemper-
anCe; so per cent of the idiots are the
offspring of Incorporate parents. and
the number of persons convicted or
crimes has increased from 299,249 in
1882 to AIS l39 in 1899.
In the statement of Count Douglas
that the United States was far more
advanced in the mater of reform legiS-
lation with respect to the dring habit
is open TO some correction. We have
prohibition local option. high license,
and Government dispensary laws In
the various States: we subject spirits,
wine and beer to far heavier taxes
than does any other country, but the
refOrmatory effect of such legislation,
whether regulatice or restrictive. is q
matter OF controversy. II Is not no
tiCeabe in nay great reduction of the
quantity of beverages consumed. on
Cial statistics of the money expended
for drink in the United States are not
available, but taking the census figures
of the quantities distilled, malt and
various liquors consumed and reducing
the gallons into dollars at their approx
innate retail value, the liquor bill of the
United States runs up to something like
81 900. 100000 a year. Adding 80 per
cent to this to arrive at the cost of the
drinks as sold over the bar ii will be
seen that this nation spends twice as
much as the German for this item.
We are nearly twice as numerous a
people as are the Germans however,
and the price Of drinks is much higher
in this country; moreover, the average
earnings of Americans are greater. The
figures quoted by Count Douglas, there
fore, may well give German statesmen
food for thought II may be inferred
from Count Douglas remarks that in
Germany as lately in France, there
has been observed a tendency toward
an enlarged consumption of ardent
spirits. The remedy adopted by the
French Government was remission Of
internal taxes on wines and heavy
increase of taxes on distilled liquors
and the effect has been as expected
brandy has been superseded as a drink
to a large extent by wine, which of all
alcoholic beverages Is the least noxious,

the German Government is not posi-

MORE WORK NEEDED.

Is it not true that Republican com
mittees are devoting too much Of their
time to discussion OF candidates and
neglecting the canvass for voters? In
other words, is the Republican party
keeping its force as well in hand as tho
Home Rulers?
The Bulletin is led to make this
query because to all appearances the
precinct officers appear to have con-
sid.red their work finished with the
close Of the primaries and District com
mitteemen also seem to be Of the opip.
ion that their real work will not begin
ill the party platform is framed and
the candidates named. Furthermore It
is claimed that the Home Rule party
has so far advanced its canvass that 1t
already has pledged voters in various
precincts and districts to the support Of
It's candidates and has thus obtain
ed nucleus which is being steadily
increased in consequence OF the lack of
Republican activity. 1t Is also claimed
that the dome Rulers have in this isl.
and so far completed their organza-
ton as to divide their party followers
into blocks OF fifty or a hundred in
charge OF active lieutenants whose duty
is to keep up the enthusiasm and by
regular house to house visits hold the
voters in line.
These claims may be false. The
number and character OF the pledged
voters may be exaggerated. II may
seem the utmost folly to attempt TO
pledge voters and expect TO hold them
before the men and measures they are
10 vote for are known. 1t cannot DO
denied, however, that an endeavor
should be made to counteract opposi-
ton party influences at every point, in
season and out of season.
What is being done by the Republi,
cans?
Is it not true that the Republicans
are placing TOO great dependence on
latter day conversions? Are they not
banking too heavily on what they hope
10 do, or the vote this, that or the
other candidate ought TO carry when
the enthusiasm OF the campaign is in
fun swing, and neglpcting the hard,
toilsOme, apparently thankless duty of
the hour? Are the party leaders and
managers in touch with the political
status Of every voter as they must be
in order to start in upon q thoroughly
effective campaign when the platform
and candidates are finally put before
the peopleY

MISTAKES IN LuzoN.
Harsh Treatment Of Natives in Some Province,
Has Bad Effect.

Washington, April 12.--When the
senate committee on Philippines met
today Senator Lodge, the chairman,
laid before the committee the report Of
Major Cornelius Gardener, civil gov.
ernor Of the Philippine province Of
Tayabas, to which reference was made
by General Miles In his correspondence
with Secretary Root. This report ad
been withheld, and this caused the
adoption Of a resolution at the last
meeting Of the committee requesting
the secretary Of war TO send the repors
TO the committee. The report Is dated
December 16, 1901, and Is largely re-
view Of conditions in the province. In
the course OF the report the governor
says:
"a vigorous campaign was at once
organized against insurgents in arms,
with the troops acting under positive
orders 10 shoot no unarmed natives and
TO burn no houses except barracks.
Looting was prohibited under the strict
est penalties. Company and other
commanders were ordered to pay for
everything taken for necessity or bought
from natives"
The governor in detail tells about
what has been done, and then recon-
mends that the operations against the
insurgents should be by force Of ma
tives He has travelled all over the
province, with no other escort than ma
tives. In another recommendation, he
says:
Gas civil governor, / feel it my duty
to say that it is my firm conviction
that the United States troops should at
the earliet opportunity be concentrated
in one or two garrisons, If it ia thought
desirable that the good sentiment and
loyalty that formerly existed towards
the United States among the people ol
this province should be conserved and
encouraged. Being in close touch with
the people, having visited all the
pueblos one or more times, having lived
with them in their homes, / know that
such sentiment once existed.
''0f late, by reason of the conduct ol
the troops, such as the extensive burn
ing of the barrios in trying to lay wasts
the country so that the insurgents can
not occupy it, the torturing of natives
by the so-called water cure, and othel
methods, in order to obtain informa
tion, the harsh treatment of the native
generally, and the failure Of inexperi
enced, lately appointed lieutenant
: commanding posts to distinguish be
tween those who are friendly and thos
unfFiendly and to treat every native :
if be were, whether or no, an insurgen
at heart, this favorable sentiment abov
referred to is being fast destroyed ant
deep hatred towards as engendered

best be done by native troops, go tina

Seven weeks before we were released

brigands had by this time become so

that it was becoming unbearable. The
appearance OF the baby stopped all this,
for the reason that theSbrigands of Tur-
