STABILITY OF MOUNTAINS.
Scientific Measurement for the Infor-

At the recent gathering OF the Asso-

mously adopted, says the London Tele-
graph. in favor of International coop
Grafton in the efforts to obtain Pre-
else determination of levels in noun
tain chains subject to earthquakes,
with the view of ascertaining whether
such chains are stable, or are undergo
ing movements of deviation or depres-
sion" Another proposal aimed to Sc
cure measurements of the value OF
gravity, with the object, so far as geo.
logical questions are concerned, OF
throwing light on the internal distribu-
ton of masses in the earth and on the
rigidity or isostasy of the terrestrial
crust. These problems call for minute
and rigorous observation In this way
ii is believed to have been proved that
the land about the city of New York
has been subsiding since 1876 at the
rate of about Las feet (nearly 17h
inches) per century. Posterity 1000
or 10000 years hence will have a right
to know not merely how high Etna or
Vesuvius was in 1904, but what were
the elevation and appearance of Beachy
Head; how much the old rock has lost
by waste of the sea at its foot. or by
denuding rains on its summit and
fianks; or how much 1t may have
gained by uplifting forces. They will
know these things in 2904, just as they
will know how the stars and nehulae
are diStrihuted in Our skies and the
knowledge will be very helpful to the
future astronomers and geologists. In
these matters photography, as the
handmade of research, can render easi-
ly and cheaply Incompatible services.

THE STOCK YARDS STRIKE.
PACKING HOUSE OWNERS WILL
IGNORE LABOR UNIONS.
Packers Claim that the Backbone of
the Strike Is Broken-Arrest of
Union Leader Leads
to Rioting.

Chicago July 3O.-Unable to ar
range a conference with represent
atives of the New York packers,
Michael J. Donnelly, president of the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butchers Workmen of America, has
ordered a strike of all the members of
his organization employed in New
York by Schwarzschild & Sulzberger
and the United Dressed Beef Co. The
order, which was telegraphed to New
York last night, does not go into effect
until Sunday, as the men in the east
ern packing plants do not report for
work on Saturday.
The decision to extend the strike
to the east was not taken until after
Mr.. Donnelly and his associates had
spent the day in a fruitless effort to
arrange a meeting with represent
atives of the eastern packers who
came to Chicago to acquaint them
selves with the situation here.
That the probabilities of a settle
ment by the opposing interests in Chi
cago are as remote as ever was plainly
demonstrated when Henry G. Wallace,
of DeS Moines. Ia, and A. l.. Ames, of
Buckingham, Ia, called on the pack
ers with a proposition from the strike
leaders offering to cOncede the most
important point in the controversy if
the employers would agree to renew
peace negotiations. Mr.. Wallace and
Mr.. Ames were told by the packers
that there was no possible chance for
any further cOnciliatory move and
that the packers were now in a posi-
ton where they could ignore the labor
unions, and that they proposal to do
SO.
Eighty colored men being trans
ported from the stock yards in two
cars on the Lake Shore road. were
thrown into panic by furious at
tack by mob of 200 throwing stones
which demolished nearly every win
dow in both cars.
Following the arrest of George
Golden, chief of the Packing Team
sters' union, for picketing, riots be
came more frequent in the vicinity of
the stock yards Friday afternoon. In
one disturbance mob captured a
loaded meat wagon after it had left
the stock yards, upset the wagon and
threw the meat into the street. The
most serious riot occurred in South
Chicago, where five men were arrest
ed for trying to prevent the delivery
of meat. No one was seriously in
iured in any of the many disturbances.
More business was done Friday by
the packers than at any time since the
strike began. The statement was
made last night by one of the packers
that fully 1900 men are now at work
in the seven plants where the union
men are ON strike. This is nearly half
as many men as went on strike.

This would be perfectly transparent,
and as no air could get in the feat

Or course, it is not possible to pour
molten glass directly on the body, so

and forms a protective coating. The
body is then put in a mold and melted
