Supervisors Meet.

4 long ana extremely StOrny
session of the Board of Supervisors
was held Monday, at which consid-
erable important business was
transacted.
Conrad Kownslar, appearing for
+. b. Whiting, attorney foT Miss
Briggs, asked for continuance of
the matter of the application of
John II. Alexander and others for
the opening of a new road, as Mr..
Whiting was unable to be present
ON account of illness. The motion
was overruled and motion passed
70 proceed with the hearing. Mr..
Kownslar then moved to set the
report of the viewers aside because
of the claim that several of the
sipnerS of the report were not resi-
dent freehOlders. 1t was then
moved that FIVE resident freeholders
bc appointed to act as viewers and
the following were appointed
|. X. Briggs, w. t. Milton, ID.
W. Wiley, G. III. Smallwood and
r. l.. Payne. The viewers were
instructed to report at the meeting
of the Board TO be held Monday,
January 1
George b. Harrison appeared as
attorney for +. G.. Butler and
agreed to accept the sum of $25 as
land damages in the matter of
new road. The report of the
viewers was accepted and the sum
of 500 was granted for putting
the road in repair, and the COM
missioner of Chapel district was
directed to open the road as soon
rs possible.
The report of the viewers APP
pointed to view the road to connect
the Bethel and Milldale roads was
accepted except the recommends
tion of Sl2 for land damages, which
was disallowed. and the road COM
missioner of Chapel district was
directed to open the road at once.
1t was decided by the Board
that they should meet i'm the Court
Room hereafter unless Court was
in session. Heretofore the Board
has met i'm the Treasurer's Office,
the Clerks Office, or any other
place that could be secured. This
arrangement was, at times, rather
unpleasant TO the officers men
toned as it interfered with work
in their respective rooms.
In regard to the delay in finish
ing the bridges as contracted, Col.
h. 4. Marr, the engineer in charge,
transmitted a letter from the Mel
son < Buchanan Company which
showed conclusively that the fault
did not lie with that Company. 1t
was shown that the rolling mills
did not furnish the steel to the
Company on time, the contractor
for the floor lumber did not furnish
the floors as promised. and there
was wreck on the Pennsylvania
railroad which neceSsitated the re-
making of certain of the steel work,
as the material was ruined in the
wreck. The matter was not taken
up in detail, but the explanation
OF Colonel Mari and the Nelson K
Buchanan Company seems very
reasonable. In the matter of the
flooring a resident of the County
seems to be the offending party,
and of course 10 blame can be
attached to the bridge contractors
tor the failure of a Clarke County
man to keep his contract.
After allowing large number
OF claims for various purposes, the
Board adjourned

Origin of the Earth's Heat.
From the London Telegraph

fom Tue LONDON Telegraph
A German physicist. Herr Liebenow. puts
forward the theory which has been limited
by others. that there may be enough radlun
In the crust of the globe to account for the
earths internal heat. 1t is only necessary
to suppose, for this object, that radium Is
uniformly distributed throughout the mass
of the earth in quantities of about one
thousandth of what is known to occur in
pftchblende. But there are many indica-
tons that radium occurs more frequently
than this In all known rocks, and that its
occurrence Is more frequent near the sur
face of the earth than in the interior.
This Theory" the Electrician observes,
'demolishes at blow all our conceptions
of a liquid interior at the tremendous tenn
peratures implied by a uniformly rising
gradient" 1t now becomes permissible to
assume that the temperature rises toward
the center of the earth, but attains a maxi
mum at no very great depth, and that the
interior beyond that point is at a uniform
and comparatively low temperature
This is making rather too much of ra-
dunn. What We know of volcanic phe-
nomena I'm the past. of heat as a factor in
the formation of the heavenly bodies, of
the sufficiency of La Places theory to ac-
count for the solar system, as so many
slowly cooling bodies, negatives the suppo-
sition of there being another sufficient cause
for the same effects. Besides, do we know
enough of the breakup of the radium atom
and its liberation of heat at such pressures
as exist at great depth of rock to he sure
that the phenomena of the laboratory would
be present there?

DR.. Mitchell wrote this story some years

Is a story that the youngsters will

From the London Truth
The present Empress of Russia seems not
to have fallen under clerical influence. and
to be what would be called liberal in Rus
STA. But the empress mother is clerical
and anti-liberal She is the ally of the
priests and those statesmen who are the
most reactionary. 1t has been largely due
to her influence that Alexiefr has kept his
place viceroy In Manchuria The reign
ing empress has never supported him nor
any of the retrograde measures of the Rus
sian ministers. 1t is surprising that the
Russians should allow a foreign widow TO
NEEDLE in their affairs because she was the
wife of an emperor who is dead. but l sup
pose that 1t is rendered possible by these
ladies protesting in religion TO be more
Russian than the Russians. Were | a Rus

mother with affection and respect, but she
would have as little political influence as

two obstacles stand In the way of practicai
reform works which. indeed. the reader
may be inclined to regard as paradoxically
stated by Mr.. Hunter. First is what ne
styles the anarchic subdivision of the coun-
try into states with independent Jurisdic-
lions over their people as regards the very
elements which bear most progressively upon
the poor. The lack of a SUFFICIENT federal
authority over all the country IN point Oh
the laws which are needed for. the protec-
ton and regeneration of the workers Is q
great barrier in the way OF successful
prosecution of this important work. Ihen
the author urges that the power OF the
propertied class and the capitalists ana
the employers has grown so that IL en-
compasses the whole political machinery or
the government and there is no help to be
found there. Thus if his objections are Well
founded there could be no help for the poor
even If the state rights were obliterated.
But yet he is not a pessimist. and he be-
lieves that the tide will turn. His treatise
is instructive to the extent that it de-
scribes from the point of view of an actual
student of conditions. the real state of the
poor OF today
