Thanksgiving Proclamation.

"By the president ofthe United
State OF America.
=" When nearly three centuries
ago the first settlers came to this
country which has now become
this great republic they faced
not only hardship and privation
but terrible risk to their lives.
In those grim days the custom
grew ofsetting apart oneday each
year for a special service of
thanksgiving to the Almighty
for preserving the people through
the changing seasons. The
custom has now become national
and hallowed By immemorial
usage. We live in easier and
more plentiful times than our
forefathers, the men with rugged
strength faced the rugged day;
and yet the dangers to national
lie are quite as great now
as at any p V o u S
times in our history, 1t is emf
nently fitting that once a year
our people should set apart a
day for praise and, thanksgiving
to the Giver Of Good, and, at the
same time, that they express
their thankfulness for the abund-
ant received, should manfully ac-
knowledge their shortcomings
and pledge themselves solemnly
and III good faith to strive to
overcome them. During the
past year we have been blest
with bountiful crops. Our busi-
ness prosperity has. been great.
No other people has ever stood
on as high a level of material
well-being as ours now stands.
We are not threatened by foes
from without. The foe from
whom we should pray to be de-
livered are our passions, appetltes
and follIes and against these
there is always need that we
should war.
Therefore, | now set apart
Thursday, the 30th Of Novemer,
as a day of thanksgiving for the
past and of prayer for the future
and on that day / ask that
throughout the people gather in
their homes and places OF wor-
ship and in rendering thanks
unto the Most High for the
manifold blessing of the past
year and consecrate themselves
to life of cleanliness, honor anc
wisdom, SO that this nation may
do its allotted work on the eartl
in a manner worthy of thos'
who preserved it.
"In witness whereof | have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the seal Of the United States tc
be affixed.

Earthquakes.

inst. makes people wonder what
kind of an old earth this is that
we a relving on anyway. Astron-
omers, geographers, and geolo-
gists tell that tits immense
sphere, highly heated and whiz-
zing thru space at a terrific rate.
We believe them and pretend to
understand all about it, when
in reality, we donot comprehend
it at all, at all. But having ac-
cepted so much in such good faith
we need not be at any loss what
ever in understanding quite thor
oughly just what an earthquake
is and how it is caused.
1t was formerly believed that
the earth had a rInd or crust OF
slight thickness, and that the
interior was a fiery molten mass.
Physicists, however nowadays
assure us that such would be
absolutely impossible, and that
the earth from circumference to
it's very center is as rigid as
steel
That the interior Of the earth,
however, is highly heated cannot
nor need not be denied.a Every
where on the globe, where deep
mines and wells have been dug
into the earth, it has been found
that the temperature increases
as the depth becomes greater.
The average. rate of increase is
one degree for every fifty or
sixty feet of descent.
If this rate of increase in
temperature continues as it
probably does, the interior of
the earth must be intensely heat
ed. But we must remember
the pressure inward increases,
whichnaturally raises the melting
point. This pressure is equal to
hundreds and thousands of tons
to the square inch, thus prevent
ing the rocks from reaching melt
ing temperature.
The earth is continually losing
some of its heat and this loss
causes a shrinkage in the rocks,
and this contraction is evidenced
in,mountain building, in fractures
Of the earth's surface. The sta
bility Of the earth then is not
assured. 1t seems a restless old
earth, and the interior activity
will perhaps continue for at least
a few chapters yet. The high
mountainous regions of the
world are most unstable. The
western part ofthe United States
has had several slight shocks
during the past 1Oyears. East
of the Rocky Mountains there
have been but 2 shocks, one in
Mississippi valley 1911: and one
in Charleston, South Carolina
1886, during the past century.
Little Japan has them about as
regurarly as the seasons.
An earthquake is jar passing
thru the rocks. 1t is anexpression
OF the interior eatedcondition OF
the earth. The directcause may
be (1) The falling in Of cavern
producing a jar.
or (2) The struggling of gases
and steam imprisoned within the
rocks, causing fractures, move
ment, Jars.
J or (3) The removal of pressure
in volcanic areas where immense
fractures in the earth relieve
pressure, causing decrease in
melting point and permitting the
solid interior to become molten,
gaseous or fiery, and escape
or az The breaking rfaulting
of rocks
or (5) The attempt of lava
to escape. All of which means
practically the same thing i. e.
The interior is highly heated, is
cooling, and endeaVoriag to
adapt Itself to its new condition
People have long since ceased
to look upon these events as

TEACHERS' PENSION FUND
Surplus, Not Deficit, 'Shozon for
Year, L. Il. Best iSaus.

Lyman A Best, the leader of the public school
teachers of Brooklyn and a member of the board
which retires teachers under the new pension sys-
tenn, has prepared a report the condition Of
the retirement fund.
There was January !, he says an unexpeud-
ed balance of about $595OOO In 1904 about 500 OD
was added to the fund from deductions for ah-
sence of teachers. Only $4,000 was needed. the
fund being increased that year blythe difference
The rumor that there is deficit of $4,000 for 1905
is not correct This is apparent but not an
actual deficit. he says
The approximate income for 1905 Excses,
600; deductions from the salaries of teachers,
S61 900; interest, $ 000 estimated total reductions
for absence, $4,000. making total income of
$500 600. Against this total the charges fo-
s26S 900, instead of deficit of $4,000 In addition
to the income of $S00D0 there is available if the
Board of Education desires to it, $500 of the
permanent fund the board having the right to
use any amount of the permanent fund in excess
of $S00.0@9
The Board of Education can refund to sick
teachers the entire amount contributed TO the
fund by all teachers the per CEN basis. and
still have a surplus beyond what is needed to
nav the pensions of the teachers already retired,
amounting TO 100000. This would allow the re
tirernent on an average pension of $3.50 Of lf2 ad-
ditionaI teachers. The Board Of Education can
refund to sick teachers $4,000 deducted for ab-
sences being SO3,O01 more than was refunded last
yaar and still have a surplus of S6SV@, with which
II can retire ninety more teachers As from twen-
Board of Education can refund to SICK teachers
s2Do COO of this years deductions. and TINS does
not touch the extra surplus OF $4,000 in the per
rnanent fund.

J0KERS FURNISH SNOW
ON AN Ell PAS0 STAGE
Ezra KendalPs Storm Scene Gives
Audience First Sight of Home
Made Whiteness

j. Duke Murray, the irrepressible,
came to town last night. Murray is the
boss liar for the Ezra Kendall aggrega-
ton, which is due next week and $
equipped with the newest line of stories
from the east.
Just dropped in to tell you my
latest" said he. I'VE have just been
playing up through Texas. You know,
in 'Weatherbeaten Benson there is a
rainstorm. Well down at Eel Paso
there is an ice factory next the thea
ter, and just for joke some of the
boys hitched the water pipe that emits
the wetness for the shower to the re-
frigerating apparatus, and when it came
time for the storm turned on the cold
air OF course this turned the water
into snow, and there in Ell Paso they
had real snow on the stage-irst the
town had ever seen!
"Of course it surprised Ezra, for this
rain is supposed to come during very
hot spell But he wasn't put out. He
just turned up his coat collar, grabbed
the endgate of a wagon and began to
slide down the hill built up the side of
the stage! Now, what dye think O.
that?"
Pretty good, eh?
