WILL NOT DESTROY ISLAND.
Prof. Hill, the Scientist, Declares
Mont Pelee Not Likely to An
Min Iate Martinique

Prof. Robert Hill, the scientist sent
by the geological survey to inspect
and report on the destruction of
Mont Pelee, is in favor Of at once es-
tablishing an observatory on the
slopes of Corbet, overlooking Pelee
from which studies could be made
with perfect safety. He does not be-
iieve The island will be annihilated.
THE previous recent deaths were all
within the previous zone of danger,
coincident with the slopes of Mon
tagne Pelee proper, but the rest of
Martinique, except villages at sea
level in reach of tidal waves, is per-
fectly secure"
DIR. Hill says party should be sent
to Martinique for stay of some
months, with spectroscope, seismo-
graphs, chronographs, special pho
tographers' outfits and everything
else favorable and useful in per-
feet report, to study the erup-
tions with special reference to
their electrical, magnetic, gaseous,
and other physical behavior. He in
sists that seismographic stations
throughout the West Indies and our
southern coas tai plain, probably aid
ed by our coast geological surveys or
| weather bureau, should be put in
operation at once, as this Is the most
propitious time for the work.

A DIAMONDS WORTH.
The x-Ray Can lie Relied On with
Absolute Certainty In Making
the Test.

In detecting false gem from gen
uiBe, the X-ray, says an article on
X-ray photography, in Leslie's
Monthly, can be relied on with abso-
lutte certainty Diamonds, as is well
known, are pure carbon; and carbon,
which is opaque to ordinary light, is
transp parent to the Roentgen light,
while glass, which is transparent TO
ordinary light, is Opaque to the Roent-
gen ray. On an X-ray photograph
Of real diamond nothing will show
but the shadow of the gold setting.
An interesting experiment was made
recently in watching with the aid of an
I-ray machine and a horoscope, mo-
tions carried on inside Of an opaque
body. A goose was fed with food
mixed with subnitrate of bismuth salt,
which absorbs the Sray. The pas
sage Of the food down the long neck
Of the goose could be plainly traced
by the moving shadow cast on the
Horoscope screen.

IDEA OF THE CASH REGISTER.
1t Came to an Ohio Man While He
Was Watching the Machinery
OF an Ocean steamer.

"a hotel keeper watching the ma
chinery of big ocean steamer work
ing in midocean received mental sug-
gestion that resulted in the modern
cash register" said c. G. Eakin, of Day
ton, 0. "The inventor of the first cash
register was Jake Rittie, a hotel keep
er, of Dayton, o. according to the Kan
sas City Times. He was on the way to
Europe several years ago, when he was
invited to look at the machinery that
propelled the steamer that was con-
veying him across the sea. The chief
engineer showed the hotel man the APP
paratus that registered the number OF
revolutions of the propeller.
"'Why wouldn't the same idea be
good thing to keep track of cash ac-
count?' the hotel man asked. I am on
my way to Europe, and some of my
employees might be rcbbing me back in
Dayton. If I could invent a machine
to keep cash account I would make
fortune The hotel man hurried home
TO begin work on cash register. He
did not take his trip through Europe,
but took an early steamer homeward
bound.
"The modern cash register is the re-
suit OF the idea the Dayton hotel
man caught while watching the ma
chinery OF an ocean steamer OF
course, improvements in cash registers
are made every month. but the princi-
pie of all Of them is the same"

MONEY ABROAD.
BIZ bfnion Dollars Invested In Eng
land. Russia, Spain. Austria
and south Africa.

The French minister of finance has
published some interesting statistics
OF French wealth invested abroad.
The total reaches $4,000, 600, 900, of
which $500, 000.O 900 is invested in Great
Britain, 81 400 oOO, 900 in Russia, $780,
100000 in Spain, 575,000,0o0 in Austria
Hungary, 100000 in Italy, $780,
100000 in British South Africa, and
1927 200, 900 in Egypt. Most OF the
money isinvested in government loans,
but in South Africa it is in the mines
and industrials.
OF French capital, however, is less
striking than its distribution. No
government could withstand the COM
bined pressure of the small investor
and the great financial houses when
they believe their money is in danger.
The Spectator comments on the
investment in Spain, which makes
1t absolutely certain that the French
will never be passive where the vital
interests of Spain are concerned"
1t says a revolution involving the
final ruin Of that country will not be
allowed again.
The 81 400, 600, 900 lent to Russia will
bind France more securely than any
formal clauses In a treaty alliance,
while also French investors have $780,
100000 in Egypt, and they will never
seriously wish to destroy the magni-
fcent security afforded by British oc-
cupation.

THE DEVILS TOWER.
One Of the Natural Wonders of wy
oming Is Carefully Mapped
by Ge illogical Survey.

The United States geological sur
vey is at present engaged in making
a topographic map of the Devils
Tower region in northeastern Wyom-
ing, the work being in charge of
Photographer w. H. Heron. The
Devils Tower, or, as called by the In
dams, 1.-THE Bad Gods Tower" is one
of the natural wonders of eastern
Wyoming. 1t is volcanic core of
great age, a wonderfully symmetrical
shaft of stone, towering 625 feet al
most perpendicularly above the sur
rounding country. In spite of it's
great height it is in reality but the
remnant of former widespread lava
flow.
When the region has been mapped
the topographic work on the Black
Hills uplift, which has been carried
on for some time by the geological
survey, will be completed, and maps
Of this important region viii be
available to the public. Within re-
cent years two special maps were
made by the government of the val
liable mining belt in the vicinity of
Deadwood and Lead, and since then
the remaining area has been careful
ly surveyed on scale of 100000.
The Black Hills are partially occu-
pied by government forest reserve,
of the same name, covering over
100000 acres; they contain rich de-
posits of valuable ore, and also bear
an important relation to the water
supply of the Great Plains, as the
water-bearing beds underlying the
plains are here upturned on the
tanks of the mountains and receive
considerable portion of their sup
ply from the streams of the region.

MANY USES FOR ALCOHOL.
Germany Is EncOurasing Its Appih-
cation for Fuel md for Power
purposer.

The kaiser Of Germany is encourag-
ing every effort toward the use of al
cohol for lighting, fuel and power
purposes, and under the stimulus OF
prizes offered to inventors and engine
constructors it is being largely util-
lied in various ways. Alcohol is eco
nomically made from number OF
products in Germany, and conse-
quently the supply of it is very large.
At recent exhibition demonstrating
the use of alcohol there were shown
a number of motors, farming imple-
ments and similar things propelled
by an alcohol flame. There were
also lamps which displayed great efh-
cheney. In a report recently made
to Washington, Consul General Guen-
Their writes from Frankfort that the
chief Of the fire department of Han
over has recently invented an alcohol
firing apparatus, used in connection
with an automobile fire engine,
which is said to be very satisfactory
in practice. The engine is driven to
the scene of the fire by an alcohol
motor, and while on the way the
steam Is gotten up by the new inven-
ton noted above so that the engine
is ready for operation Immediately
on it's arrival on the ground. ordi-
narily il is necessary to keep the en-
CINE constantly fired in order that
the steam supply may be immediate

BRACGFORCHINA
VIM. Rublee Transferred to the Hav
an. Consulate.

Gen. Edward S. Bragg, OF Wisconsin,
United States consul general to Havana,
was today transferred to the Hong Kong,
China, post.
William Rublee, also Wisconsin ap.
pointee. was at the same time transfer
red from Hong Kong to Havana
Formal announcement of the change
was made at the White House and by
the state department shortly before noon
today. 1t is made to adjust the difficult
ty that has arisen in Cuba over the
criticism passed upon the Cuban people
by Gen. Bragg. shortly after his arrival
at Havana. 1t is supposed that Mr..
Rublee as consul general to Hong Kong,
was not averse to the change. Gen.
Bragg is understood to have been given
the opportunity of accepting the trans
fer or resigning.
The shakeup in the consul general
ships at Hong Kong and Havana,
which results in the transfer Of Rublee
to Havana and Gen. Bragg to the mis-
sion in far China, is the result of that
statement contained in a letter written
by Gen. Bragg to his wife, that the
United States government might as we'll
attempt to make a whistle out of a pigs
tail a. to make the Cubans fit for self
government.
The statement was contained in a
letter written to Mrs Bragg at her home
in Wisconsin, and was public a: the
generals home. The result was tire
mendous uproar in Cuba. 1t was in
timsted at one time thai Gen. Bragg
would be forced to resign. The change
in Office made today is expected to
adjust the affair.
Rublee, who becomes consul general
to Havana Is Milwaukee newspaper
man and his vice-consul is John II.
