Chicago, April '21.-Athletes, feet of
foot and sturdy of limb, representing
the leading nations of the world, begin
tomorrow in Athens the fourth series
Of contests under the new regime of
art and culture of the olden times thus
becomes the clearing house, to use a
severely modern commercial term, for
international athletic proves.
The pick of the young men of the
world will vie with one another for
honors, and the contests, interspersed
with military and gymnastic exhibit
tions, evening entertainments, theatre
cal and illuminations, will continue ten
days. =. .-..s
So far as the official records are con-
cerned, the present games will consti-
tute only the second series in the Olynl-
Louis in 1904, were the scenes respec-
lively of the second and third reviva1s,
but the results were unsatisfactory to
the Greeks and it has been decreed that
the contests would hereafter be held
at Athens, in the new stadium. The
next series originally set for Rome in
1908, will now be held at Athens in
1910, and thereafter at four years in
tervals, thus restoring the original four
year period or Olymplad.
Stadium Restored.
Thru the bounty of wealthy Greek,
George Averoff, of Epirus, the old sta
dunn of Herodus Atticus was restored
in marble in 1904-5, at cost, approx.
mately, of 100000, and in this mag
niicent amphitheater, seating 10000
people, the games beginning today and
lasting until May will be held.
America has shared in large part in
the victories Of the three REVEALS, al
tho it's representatives counted most in
ton with the International exposition,
in 1904. American boys broke records
right and left, and several of the men
who shone on that occasion are now
on hand ready to compete at Athens.
England and Germany are sending
the cream Of their talent, and the thir-
| ty-four American representatives will
have far from plain sailing. Not by
way Of excuse, but simply to state the
facts, the Americans have been handi-
capped materially this year. While
many Of their prospective fellow COM
considerable periods, the Americans,
sailing SO late that they had to rig up
training apparatus on board ship, en-
countered such stormy weather that
several stars were buffeted about ship
and finally landed with bruises Of more
or less seriousness. And to cap the eli
max the boys arrived on the eve of the
games, having been provided INSULT
cient food and travelling in cramped
quarters on ship from Italy to the Gre
clan landing port.
| Americans Good.
In the American party are thirty
four men, all but one-J. B. Connolly
of DISCRIMINATING beeen selected for
their all-round proves by the Ameri-
can Olympic games committee. Con-
molly goes on his own hook. The bunch
is decidedly representative of America g
best talent, and it is certainty that
some portion of the general fund of
honors will come to America. How
much remains to be seen.

AN INDIAN THEORY.
The Cause of Earthquakes, Tidal
Waves and Volcanoes.

The Cause of Earthquakes, Tidal
Waves and Volcanoes.
"When | lived among the Dakotas, "
said an old army officer, Il found men
who, like Buddha, gave seven years of
their lives to prayer and fasting, that
they might become pure in the sight Of
God, or the Great Spirit, as they call
that being. After they have proved
themselves before their people by per-
forming so called miracles, such as
holding their hands and arms in boil
ing water and not being burned, shot
with poisoned arrows and not harmed,
bitten by rattlesnakes and not poi
soned and many other tests that have
witnessed they are accepted as holy
or wise men. The Indians believe that
they can get the word direct from God,
or the Great Spirit, the same as the
wise men and seers of old used to do.
| have asked these intelligences to tell
me about the cause of earthquakes and
tidal waves, and they explain it like
this:
'They say volcanoes are the safety
valves of the earth; that the rim of the
earth is gradually cooling. AS it cools
it contracts, making the pressure on
the hot lava in the interior greater. At
last something must give way, this
rim must crack open, or the volcanoes
must burst forth and emit this COM
pressed lava.
Sometimes it is relieved in one way,
sometimes in another. Should the
earth crack in midocean, where the
crust is usually thinner, then the wa
tiers of the ocean fill in, and there is a
great explosion as the water strikes
this great bed of hot lava, large masses
of the rim are thrown up, and islands
appear Sometimes they stay on the
surface of the ocean, sometimes they
fall back and are again covered with
water, but that upheaval SO lifts the
water that a great wave is started for
the shore that carries death and de-
struction in its way.
MANY of the old safety valves in
the earth are now closing up; only a
few remain. The crust is becoming so
thick that the cooling process is more
slow" Seattle Times.

The VATICAN PALACE.
It's Existence Is Mainly Due to the
Builder Pope, Nicholas ".

It's Existence Is Mainly Due to the
Builder Pope, Nicholas ".
The present existence of the Vatican
palace is principally due to Nicholas
", the builder pope, whose gigantic
scheme would startle modern archi-
tect His plan was to build the church
of st. Peters as Il starting point and
then to construct one vast central hab-
itat for the papal administration, COW
ering the whole of what is called the
Borgo, from the castle of SAINT Angelo
to the cathedral. In ancient times a
portico or covered way supported on
columns, led from the bridge to the
church, and it was probably from this
real structure that Nicholas began his
imaginary one, only q small part of
which was ever completed. That small
portion alone comprises the baSilica
and the Vatican palace, which together
form by far the greatest continuous
mass of buildings In the world. The
Coliseum is 1876 yards long by 1855
broad, including the thickness of the
walls. st. Peters church alone Is POS
yards long and 1856 broad, SO that the
whole Coliseum would easily stand
upon the ground plan of the church,
while the Vatican palace is more than
half as large again.
Nicholas " died in 1855, and the old
est parts of the present Vatican palace
are not older than his reign. They are
generally known as the Tore Borgia,
from having been inhabited by Alex
ander VI, who died of poison in the
third of the rooms now occupied by
the library, counting from the library
side The windows Of these room:
look upon the large square court of til,
Belvedere, and that part of the palace
is not visible from without.
Portions of the substructure of the
earlier building were no doubt utilized
by Nicholas, and the secret gallery
which connects the Vatican with the
mausoleum of Hadrian is generally at
tributed to Pope John XIII, who
died in 1417, but on the whole it may
be said that the Vatican palace is orig
inally a building of the period Of the
renaissance, to which all successive
popes have made additions.

The Press is a blind follower Of

paper in North Idaho that supports

fact that people all over the Pan

EDITORIAL NOTES.

SENATOR HEPBURN has addressed
an open letter to the Boise States
man in response to the criticisms
that paper has seen fit to make
against him, relative to his opposi-
ton to forest reserves. The SEN
ator makes a strong legal argument
to show that sections 16 and 80 can
not legally be confscated by the
government by creating forest re-
serves. And in speaking OF his
purpose to continue this fight, re-
gardless OF unfriendly criticism,
the Senator says:
"Now | desire it to be distinctly
understood that so long as | am a
citizen OF Idaho, whether in public
or private life, that l shall exert to
the limit of my ability an effort to
preserve these lands to the State
and to the sacred uses for which
they were originally granted, and
| shall labor increasingly in Con-
gress, and if necessary in the courts,
to maintain the States title to
these lands"

JUDGE BoRAH is out in an open
letter to Senator Hepburn on the
senatorial question. The Judge
takes exception to the language
made use OF by the Senator, as
published by the HERALD and many
other papers last week, IN which
Mr.. Hepburn used the language,
81 think the necessity for nominat-
ing a candidate for Senator arises
from the inordinate selhshness OF
those who would like to get the ad
vantage Of someone else in the race
for public Office" MIR. Borah takes
this thrust to refer to himself, and
responds in quite a spicy letter
closing with a challenge to Senator
Hepburn to engage with him in a
joint debate Of the subject Of nom
mating a senator in state conven.
ton. Mr.. Borah intimates that he
intends to make several speeches
in the state on this subject before
the state convention meets.

THE great sensation Of the week
has been the arrest of the leading
officers OF the Western Federation
of Miners in connection with the
foul assassination of former Gov
ernor Steunenberg. This is follow
ed by the equally sensational state
ment of James Mcfarland, the ia
nous detective who broke up the
"Mollie Maguires", that he had all
the evidence needed to hang every
man under arrest. The public has
always had a horrible suspicion
that there was an Inner Circle
in the Western Federation of Min
ers that caused the assassination OF
Steunenberg, and other assassina-
tons, but it was hardly prepared
to believe that the very head Of the
organization itself was guilty OF
completely in the horrible crimes
The trials will be watched with
breathless interest.
