FOUND A HOT PLACE.

Tn cutting the tunnel through the Alps for the Simplon railway the work men encountered such great heat and streams or reservoirs of hot water that their work was delayed for consld- erable time. Were 1t not for the fact that hot springs are found in various portions of the earth this Alpine incl dent might be looked on as to some ex- tent a refutation of the theory that the center of the earth is intensely hot. It might be argued with some degree of foundation that internal heat depends on the distance from the surface of the earth, whether in horizontal or a per- great heat is encountered in digging through the base of a high mountain we might claim that the temperature of the earth is as likely to increase in going. across as downward.
 But as is we'll known there are hot worlds, and as we can hardly suppose that the water of these springs is forc- ed up from near the center of the earth we must find some other way to ac- count for the heat. And. speaking of the internal heat, the following state ment by a writer in The New York Post may be interesting:
 Professor Arrhenius, the eminent Swedish chemist and physicist, has re- gently discussed in a masterful way the probable constitution of the earth. He reaches the conclusion that about one half of the mass of the globe, or so per cent. of its radius from the center outward, is probably metallic iron-but iron so intensely hot and so enormous ly compressed, that it is physically gas with the rigidity of solid. An ad- ditional 15 per cent. Is occupied by a spherical zone of similarly compressed gaseous magma, which grades out Wardly into a zone of liquid magma amounting to 4 per cent of the radius. Finally. there is the solid crust, with a probable thickness of about 1 per cent. of the total distance from the sur face to the center of the earth. Ac- cepting the view that there can be no volcanic action without teiluric gases, Professor Arrhenius believes that the steam thrown off during eruptions has been derived from the oceans He re- gards the ocean bottom as a senlI-per- meable membrane through which water under pressure descends Into the earth h its descent the water becomes heat

 We like to see newspaper man who is In love with his work and his loca- ton. There is Editor H. M. Mcintosh. of The Albany (Ga.) Herald, as an ex- ample. He writes something of his thirty years experience in journalism. and winds up with the declaration:
 We say 1t more in humble gratitude than in any spirit of boastful pride that We would not today give up our place with the people of the city and section in which we have spent the hest part of our life to accept either wealth or high official station anywhere else on earth.
 Thirty years among the peaches and the pretty girls. the singing birds. the melons and cantaloupes of South Geor- gia has only made the good brother fonder of his section and his people. Thirty years in editorial harness has but welded him more closely to news paper work-and 1t Is good work, we beg leave to add. He wouldn't be King or Kaiser President or Governor. not he. We doubt If he would accept the position of president of a baseball club He likes editing and will stick to it, and evidently the people like him and his style. for they stick to him. Here's wishing him thirty years more of good work!

Senator Who Reads Dime Novels.

Senator Platt, of Connecticut, belongs to the dime novel reading class of Sem ators. Like the late Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, he often seeks mental relaxation in reading the yellow backed thrillers. One night not long since Mir. Platt was unable to sleep. Finally he rang for a bellboy and told him to go to the room of Secretary of Commerce Metcalf who lives on the floor below Senator Platt, at the Arlington Hotel, Ask him for some dime novels" said the Senator. In a few minutes the boy returned with several choice pieces of literature, among them be- ing Antelope Abe, the Awful, Antag- onistical, Annihilating Avenger of Al varado, Arizona" Another was called Diamond Dick. the Daring Demon Dead Shot Detective. A few chapters from these intellectual works had the desired effect of bringing on sleep.

The senate's Reading Clerk.

The Senate has it's trials when a good reading clerk decides to quit his job So fastidious have Senators become that no ordinary reader will do. Efforts to break in three or four different novices of late have resulted in disapproval and disaster. Steps are being taken to re- tain Chief Clerk Henry M. Rose. who resigned not long ago to become Col leetor of Internal Revenue in the Grand Rapids district. As MT. Rose refused to withdraw his resignation, for the reason that it would affect promotions made because of it, Senators of both parties are proposing that the office of Assistant Secretary of the Senate be created for him. MT. Rose Is one of the best readers the Senate ever had and there is no inclination to allow him to leave if 1t can reasonably be avoided

A TANGLED AFFAIR.

Sometimes newspaper writer can get things almost inextricably mixed in the effort to tell story A Minne- sota paper. for example, has this:
 While Henry Yuston was hitching up his horse Wednesday afternoon in front of the Grand View Stable, he was frightened by a pair of dogs that were nghting and ran away before he was wholly hitched up. He ran up on the porch of George Wither's residence, broke through, and while scranmbling z age occurred to the horse or sleigh on- ly such as occurred to the porch.
 Now it is plain that this man should accustom himself to fighting dogs be- fore he trusts himself near them when he is not wholly hitched up." He ought to know his own failings better than to take such chances. That he was badly frightened may not be surprising, but 1t seems to us that he ought to have had more respect for Mir. wither's property than to go cavorting up his porch and Into his house. to say noth- ing of "scrambling around" probably mussing up the furniture and creating disturbance till "his owner caught him" Who was his owner? Was 1t Yus- ton or the horse. or both, that broke away and made things lively? Who caught him and who did he catch9
 Then we are mixed on that last sen tence if there was no damage Ito the horse or sleigh except such as occurred to the porch" Where does that lead the reader? Are We to understand that the injury to the porch reflected itself somehow to the horse and vehicle? Seems to us that the more we read of 1t the less we get 1t untangled. If we were to offer advice 1t would be that the reporter take 1t all back and have another try at it. He couldn't worst il very much

A general in the Civil War applied at the close of the United States. A committee of three examiners reported that he had answered correctly two-thirds of the questions put to him. A judge, aston ished at the generals success, asked the chairman of the committee what the questions were. Well" he replied, "the first was, What Is the rule in Shelly's case? and the answer was Writing poetry That was not cor rect.

A Doubtful Roosevelt story.
Baltimore News.


 More or less apocryphal story about President Roosevelt: One day he had been enjoying boxing bout with Mike" Donovan. That evening there was to be a reception in the white house and MT. Roosevelt invited Dono- van to attend. The latter regretted that he had no dress suit in Washing ton. but the President said That's all right; I'll lend you one of mine" and promptly sent for the outfit. As MT. Roosevelt weighs some thirty pounds more than Donovan, 1t readily will be seen that the garments did not it like glove. Donovan hired dress suit for the evening and passed among the crowd.

Brewton, March 5.-(Special)- About o'clock Thursday morning William Mantle, who lives about two miles south of town, left home for the purpose of feeding his hogs at the pen across the river. He did not return to the house that day and the next morn ing a search for him was made by one of his sons who went to the place where the hogs were. Upon arriving there he saw evidences of his fathers having been there and knowing the route he would take on his return, started back. After returning across the river he tracked his father to a lake to ,get across which a foot log had to be crossed and upon arriving at the lake he found his father lying on his back in the. shallow water dead.

cd, and finally, as steam. reaches the gone of liquid magma and Is absorbed. It Is this absorbed steam that supplies the explosive force of volcanic erup- tions. According to the same authority, the physics of the eruption are closely analogous to those exemplified in the activity of geyser. b.
 While this is largely speculative, of course, yet we must remember that they are the conclusion and deductions of an eminent scientist who at least has given much intelligent study to the question. The only way to verify the theory is by actually boring down to- wards the center of the earth. A short while ago. 1t will be remembered, there was considerable discussion of propo- sition to bore a hole twelve miles deep If we remember correctly SO as to ob- tain actual and positive evidence of the truth of the theory of internal heat fnfinitesima1 start towards the center but if in going down twelve miles 1t should be found that the temperature continually rises it would be tolerably
 
 Whether even that will ever be done remains to be seen.
 The theory of the Swiss Professor about the cause of volcanic eruptions has at least some plausibility in it. Il is not new one. 1t is true, for other scientists have argued that there are cracks and Assures in the floor of the ocean through which the water perco- lates and penetrating the intensely heated regions. thus causing great accumulation of steam which finds an outlet through volcanoes and in other ways. This theory Is not generally &C., cepted. but we fail to see why it is not at least as plausible as any other. Un- til we can actually know things we must accept the conclusions of those who have given most study to any sub- ject.

the most critical period of 8 woman's existence, and the anxiety felt by women as it draws near is not without reason.
 Every woman who neglects the care of her health at this time in- vites disease and pain.
 When her system is in Q deranged condition, or she is predisposed to apoplexy. or congestion of any organ. the ten dency is at this period likely to become active and with a host of ner- vous irritations, make life a burden. At this time, also, cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work.
 Such warning symp- toms as sense of suffo- cation, hot flashes, head aches backaches. dread of impending evil, timid- ity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, Irregularities. constipa- tion, variable appetite. weakness and inquie- tude, and dizziness, are promptly needed by in telligent women who are approaching the period
