REASON FOR EARTHQUAKES
Time, Says Professor, Is Accountable
for Shrinkage in Worlds Surface
That Results in Disturbances.

Prof. James F. Kemp. of the chair of
geology at Columbia university, had this
explanation to give of the New England
earthquake:
THE earth tends to go more and more
slowly as 1t reyolves. on account of the
backdrag OF the atmosphere, SO It tends
to become more and more nearly a per-
feet sphere and less fiattened at the
poles.
ALSO there is a kind of interior
shrinkage due to loss of heat, and this
produces a shrinkage at the surface
which may produce the disturbances.
The original place of the disturbance
was probably under the sea. and 1t COM
municated itself to the land"
A. w. Grabau. professor of paleon-
tology. said: Il do not believe that the
disturbance was of volcanic origin.
There have been none such in this part
of the world for fair number of years. u
Prof. Grabau was asked what he
meant by fair number of years.
Say about 10000 900 years." he con-
tinued, gravely.
"The last volcanic eruption here
abouts was the one that made the pali-
sades on the Hudson, and that
was back in the triassic period. In New
England we are positive there has been
no serious disturbance for thousands oi
years, because there are powders there
which have not been disturbed within
that period"

HER FAR-SIGHTED POLICY.
The Means by Which Japan Has At
tanned Her Supremacy
in the East.

In an article on Japanese Patriot
ism," in Pearson's, Mr.. Alexander Hume
Ford gives an interesting account OF
ans foresighted policy. He says:
Every year from two to three thou
sand students are sent to America, anc
as many go to Europe, to enter the most
advanced universities and machine
shops of the two worlds. These young
men are thoroughly impressed with a
sense of their own Importance, know
ing full well that it is their destiny t.
return to Japan and carry the country
forward along advanced lines of civ
ilization. Their intense patriotism
urges them, as a rule, despite the obsta-
cles of foreign tongue. to seek the hon
ors of their class, and the Japanese stu
dents abroad may always be found in
the front ranks of American and Euro
pean colleges. Once gradus>ed, they
quickly return to Japan. Search the
continent OF America never so carefully,
and you will not find as many resident
Japanese in IL as there are Cinnamon in
the cities of either New York or Chica-
go; yet no alien law, as in the case
of the Chinese, prevents the settlement
Of the japanese in our midst. They
come, observe. remain long enough to
master the workings of our latest inven-
tions in scientific apparatus and me-
chanics, then return home to adapt to
the service Of their people all that they
have found useful abroad. So to-day
because they have prepared in times OF
peace, japanese foundries, shipyards
machine shops and factories are ready
to turn out the most modern ordnance
battleships. and firearms fit to do battle
with any power that threatens Japanese
supremacy in the far east"

MONKEYS EARN A LIVING.
Manipulate Fans in India to Cool
Their Masters Parching Brows
Method of Education.

Monkeys are more than pets in some
parts of the world. At Malabar, India,
they are taught to work, and have ac-
tually made themselves almost indispen-
sable in the homes of the wealthy. The
Malabar monkey is of the fine species
known as the langur. II is very warm
in Malabar, and there is fan called the
punka, which used to be kept in mo-
ton by slave 1t required slave to
work each punka, but now every punka
in Malabar is worked by monkey.
II was an English officer who con-
ceived the idea of making the langur
work in that manner. The fan is a NOV
able frame. covered with canvas and
suspended from the ceiling. The motion
is caused by pulling cord. The officer
tied the hands of the langur to one of the
cords, and then by means of another
cord put the machine in motion. OF
course the monkeys hand went up and
down and the animal wondered what
kind of a game was being played. Then
the officer patted its head and fed It with
candy till soon the langur thought II
was fine fun to work the punka. The
experiment was successful and now
thousands of monkeys are in harness.

Strange Electric Lights.

During the remarkable magnetic
storm. accompanied by displays of the
aurora borealis. on October 81 last, a
gentleman driving along country road
at night. near Calgary. Canada, had a
singular experience. He found himself
surrounded with great vertical shafts
OF light. which extended up into the sky,
meeting at the zenith in a perfect apse,
and glowing with beautiful colors. the
shafts being bright ruby-colored at the
top. but changing in hue as they de-
scended through purple and green to
gold at the bottom. Objects half mile
away were evidently beyond the shafts.
and indeed some of these were only a
few yards distant, and seemed to chase
the observer as he drove on in his buggy.
The display lasted but few minutes.

The Attorney General Will
Succeed Mr.. Quay.
REPUBLICAN MANAGERS
In Pennsylvania Have Agreed
Upon His Appointment
HE IS WILLING TO ACCEPT.
He VIII Serve by Appointment Until
March q, 1eo5-It Is Expected that
He Will Remain in the Cabinet Un-

Philadelphia, June 10.-Philander
c. Knox, of Pittsburg, attorney gen.
eral of the United States. was yester-
day selected to fill the seat in the Uni
ted States senate made vacant by the
death of Matthew Stanley Quay. He

the date of the expiration of the late
senator's commission. Unless politi-
cal complications should arise as re-
suit of yesterdays action he will be
elected for the full term by the legis-
lature which meets in January. 1t is
expected that Mr.. Knox will remain in
the cabinet until December.
The selection of Mr.. Knox came as
surprise to the politicians of the
state. Directly after Senator Quay
died his name was among those men,
toned for the vacancy, but as no one
came forth to support ii, very little
was heard of his candidacy during the
past week His name was not con-
sidered by United States Senator Pen
rose. who, as chairman of the repub-
lican state committee, along with Is
rael w. Durham, the Philadelphia
leader, had the naming of Quay's sue
cessor.
On Wednesday, however, Henry c.
Frick, of Pittsburg, director of the
United States Steel Corporation,
came to this city and formally an
nounced that the attorney general
was a candidate for the place and that
he came here in Mr.. Knox's interest
AS the leaders had decided that ALE.
gheny county, in which Pittsburg is
situated, was to have the place, he
thought the leaders could have nc
objection to the attorney general.
| This caused considerable agitation
In the Pittsburg delegation, which had
already named four men for the va
cancy. At first it was expected that
Mr.. Knox would be opposed, but aftel
a series of conferences the Pittsbure
delegation accepted Mr.. Knox and the
public announcement of their action
soon followed. The announcement
was made by Max Leslie. chairman o.
the Pittsburg republican city com
mittee.
Washington, June 10.-Just before
Attorney General Knox left Washing
ton a few days ago he called on th'
president and told him that he hac
been rendered the appointment o
United States senator to succeed Mr.
Quay and that IL the president wa
willing he would accept. The presi
dent told him that while it was tru'
that probably no other man in tn
country could quite fill the position o
attorney general as he had filled II
yet he believed that his services fl
