The spectacle presented by President Baer
OF the Reading railroad and coal companies
IN his testimony before a section of the in

every legitimate effort to place this and

An Eruption in Canadap

The disaster in British Columbia is a
startling suggestion of seismic forces
threatening to render active once more
several of the supposedly extinct yolca-
noes in the Rocky mountain chain. The
records of eruptions In the northern part
of the continent are meaSer, but they I'M
mistakably show that the subterranean
forces of nature are not wholly stilled in
this latitude. Yet there are signs in this
latest disturbance of the crust that 1t may
not be due to volcanic action. 1t may have
been a landslide of great volume seis-
mographic record taken at the nearest
meteorological station fails to disclose any
trace of an earthquake, and the only tangi-
BILE suggestion that the disaster was due to
an eruption is the bare mention in the re-
port of smoke ascending from the top of
the mountain. The mines which were being
worked at the foot of the mountain were
of coal and were unusually gaseous. 1t is
therefore possible that an explosion of fire
damp may have occurred. communicating
with some great accumulation of gas in
assures in the upper portion of the rock
mass and thereby causing great detona-
ton, sufficient to lift the peak of the noun
tain and fling 1t down into the valley. Thus
the case offers many interesting possibilities
for scientists to unravel and further par
tculars will be awaited by the scientific
world with eager curiosity. The calamity
which befe1l the little mining town at the
base of the mountain was shockingly COM
plete. After the rocks had crushed out
scores of lives the fallen debris formed a
dam which choked river and caused an

The Bagdad ENHANCEMENT.
From the London Spectator.

from the London Spectator.
We are still not definitely committed to
a German ENHANCEMENT in regard to the
Bagdad railway. At least, that is the
general impression among well-informed
people as we write. The sands are, how
ever, running out, and unless public opin-
ion can be aroused there Is only too much
reason to believe that we shall very short
ly be told that all further protests are I'M
availing and that we have finally adopted
the dangerous course of lending political
sanction and encouragement to a scheme
which Is likely to prove full of risk to
British investors, and cannot but have
most serious and perplexing consequences
on our International position. While. then,
there Is yet time. we would urge all those
who read these words to think well and
think wisely on the whole matter If they
are convinced that 1t would not be prudent
for us as a nation to walk hand-in-hand
with Germany in the matter of the Bagdad
railway-Or, rather, we should say. to fol-
low Germany blindfold along a path which
she knows and from which she can escape
at any moment. but which for us is full
of pitfalls-we would implore them to ex-
ercise all the influence of which they are
capable both on members of the cabinet
and on members of parliament.
