PROF. LARKIN SAYS
EARTH SETTLED
If Causes are Deep-Seated Dis
turbanceS are at End.
PROF. EDGAR L. LARKiN.

The counterpart of the Vesuvius
outburst has occurred. Seismic forces
raging in the earth's interior have as
serted sway and dominion. Remnants
of ancient and primordial cosmical
heat, pent up since crust solidified
on the exterior of the forming earth,
have made the mselves felt in the
midst of great city filed with liv-
Ning beings that can suffer: And cul-
ture, refinement, goodness and love
are submerged in fire.
Many theories have been advanced
by geologists and astro-physicists, and
by mathematicians also, to explain
earthquakes and volcanoes. Mathe-
maticians have discOveredswha the
geologists alone could not have found
out, that the earth is in the cluth
of thrust, and strain within. The
density of the central regions of the
globe has been computed. If a ball
of gold or platinum one thousand
miles in diameter had its center CO.
incident with the center of the earth
its mass would give the computed
mathematical density. Now, if an
envelope of liquid porphyretic gran
ite surrounds this, the fluid is subject
to stress and strain; for the attrac-
tion of the sun and moon on this in
tensely dense center must cause
varying pressures. And pressure
with variation is one thing necessary
to produce earthquakes.
INTERNAL TIDE THEORY.
Arguments have ragged for CEN
tury regarding tides within the earth.
The doctrine is that the moon, sun
and planets draw up the internal
liquid into a bulging heap as well as
the external-the waters of the sea.
This problem is not settled; for some
hold that the white-hot liquid in the
earth does not exist as one continu-
GUS mass, but that it is distributed in
vast lakes, pockets or in liquid
streams between colossal walls. Now
if there is anything in the tide theory
April Is, 1906, was propituous. Here
is table giving the positions of the
sun, moon and planets at noon on
that eventful and now historic day.
Right ascension in the right hand
column, means the distance expressed
in time, of all the bodies from given
point in the sky, which point for CEN
turies has been the first point of
Aries in the Zodiac.

A Hopi Indian stepped into Wet
zler's store, and after stating that he
was sick asked for the loan of Hopi
god. Julius stated that he was just
out of gods but had some fine dolls in
stock. The Indian selected one and
then went across the street and bor-
rowed another. He scraped some
paint from each of them, which he
dissolved in water and drank. A few
hours later. he returned completely

Positions in
Right Ascension.

Saturn II ID
Thus the moon was only ten minutes
from the first of Aries, and the sun
one hour and forty-three minutes be-
yond it. The table shows that these
seven bodies were within five hours
and twenty-eight minutes of each
other; and, therefore, all together in
one direction, and all pulling against
the earth. Now let US see what effect
their combined attraction had on
April Is, 1906. Here are distances of
one year:
Years. Distances of the Earth
April Is. from sun in miles.
1905 ... 94,037 800
Difference. ce...... 61S, 500
Thus the earth was off it's track
and nearer the sun more than 618,OOO
miles in 1906 than 1905 on the same
day. The reader may decide if tides
caused the dreadful upheaval. The
earth has often been off it's orbit
more than this without earthquakes
or volcanoes.
Since Vesuvius began its eruptions
l have been able to secure four OBJ
servations of the sun in the great
telescope. 1t was quiet. At the first
observation there were seven spots;
second, 8; third, 6; fourth I. The
largest of all was about twice the
size of the earth, far too small to
amount to anything. This may be
dismissed.

TRACE OF KIDNtPER.
Tracks of Men and Team Found on
Blue Mountains In Vicinity Of Toll

Blue Mountains In Vicinity of Toll
gate.
It is said that James Hudson and
Fen Craigen. who have been among
the soarchers for Cecil Britain, in
the vicinity of the tollgate, have
found the tracks of team, hack and
three men. which tally to tracks found
near the scene of the boys disappear
ance.
They have traced the team to the
breaks of the Umatilla river and at
places where the team has stopped
they have found the tracks of large
man with part of one boot heel miss
ing and number of large tacks In
his boots almost identically like the
tracks found at the toilgate the day
following the disappearance Of the
child.
The team was followed to the bend
of the upper Umatilla river, where all
trace was lost in the gravel In the
river bed. Whether this is the kid
naper or not is not known, but no
one seems to know who went over
that unusual route with team at that
time and further search will be made
to find who drove this mysterious
team through the mountains.

CANINE HIGH DIVER.
Mays Spaniers Peculiar Method Of
Taking to the Water.

Dan May, the contractor, has a dog,
a, cocker spaniel, that doubtless holds
the record as a canine high diver,
though 1t was not until lately that
his talents in this direction became
known to his master. In crossing the
Main street bridge going to his home
on the north side OF the river, Mr..
May says he noticed that Rex always
manifested great excitement while on
the bridge and would bark and jump
about him. He could not account for
the same.
Finally he was crossing the bridge
one day, and becoming annoyed at
the actions of the dog, picked him up
and dropped him over the side. II
was just what the dog had wanted
and he swan about in the river for
some time before he would come out
Now every time the master and dog
cross the river the dog barks to be
thrown overheard again, and in order
to pacify him Mr.. May has to place
him on the bridge railing and let hin
| dive into the river, the steep slope
of the levee face not affording tho
animal any better chance to reach the
water.
