The Earth,s Interior Irour

Frequent earthquakes of late have
enormously increased scientific curios-
ity about the earth's interior. On this
subject Sir Oliver Lodge observes in
Nature that lit has long been suspect
ed that the earth is On iron planet, and
now, through the work Of Strut and
others. the evidence both for and
against is intensifying. 1t is just
worth noting as a matter Of simple
arithmetic that core OF metallic iron

rock 500 miles thick Of density %

to a crust much thinner than the
above. 1t is to be hoped that the Dor

sons will before long attract the atten-
don they deserve. Telegraph.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
m. whI.perinE TeIephone.

The secrephone is the whispering tel
ephone. A message can be whispered
into Il so that a person standing but q
ward away cannot hear what Is being
Haid, while every word Is correctly
transmitted TO the receiver at the other
end OF the line a mile away or more.
For this to be done the message must
be actually whispered. II spoken more
loudly, Of course, the speaker can be
heard more than a yard away from
the transmitting instrument. Properly
used. however. a message can be sent
in privacy even with people quite
close
As present experience goes. 1t re-
oulres some little practice to pitch the
voice correctly so as to get the best re-
suits with the faintest whisper. But
the lesson is not difficult to learn. Peo-
pie with high pitched voices will
undoubtedly make themselves heard
more distinctly at the other end OF the
line with less noise at the transmitting
end than is possible for those with
lower pitched voices. The instrument
is claimed TO be practically imperisha-
BILE and cannot get out Of order with
ordinary use.

Butte hill. far famed as the richest
mineral producing spot in the world, Is
an insignificant rise Of land, not over
300 feet above the river level In the
valley. 1t is approximately two and a
half miles In length by two miles In
width and Is an irregular oval In
shape. The richest ore producing por-
ton, however, Is ceniered In n space of
about two square miles. Within that
limit there are no fewer than forty
principal shafts from 1000 TO 2.4OO
feet In depth, besides many smaller
and less important developments and
prospects. Underground there is a net
work Of drifts, cross cuts and galleries
frequently intersecting each other and
connecting the deep workings OF differ-
emit mines. 1t Is estimated that there are
more than 500 miles Of such under
ground excavations. The output from
this single hill is upward OF 1900
tons Of ore n day, yielding more than
10000 tons OF refined copper a month.

Canadian Forestry.

In the opinion OF the Dominion su
perintendent Of forestry Canada I'm.
doubtedly holds the first place among
the. timber producing countries OF the
world, and Notwithstanding the great
drain now put upon its resources In
this respect by the demands OF foreign
countries he thinks that its lead may
be increased by judIcIous management
OF Its great forests. The virgin white
pine, he says, cannot last many years
longer, but In the Douglas Or, the ce-
dar. the western white pine, the spruce
and the hemlOck Canada possesses
all but lnexhaustible treasures. The
spruce Is the most widely distributed.
Various species OF 1t extend from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coast and from
the American border northward to the

Informal Negotiations Again Taken
tJp at Paris.

Paris, Feb. formal negotia-
tions for the Notation Of a Russian
loan have again been taken up. On
this occasion it appears that the
French fnanciers are more disposed
to consider overtures than during the
recent visit of former Finance Minis
ter Kokovsoff to Paris. The amount
mentioned in official circles varies, but
s400, 100000 is generally spoken of,
with the issue price at SO and inter-
est at 5 per cent. A favorable reply
to the eventual formal proposition is
considered to depend on the Russian
governments assurances relative to
the institution and carrying out of in
ternal reforms The financiers here
demand as an essential condition for
advancing money that a new Russian
parliament shall result from a popular
election and that when formed it shall
exercise effective control of the ma
TONS finances with the immediate
recognition of all Russia's external
debts With these conditions fulfilled
it is thought that with the most inf1u-
entail support of the issue assured
there will be very little hesitation
among French investors.

VIOLENT SCENES RESULT.
French Officials Attempt to Apprase
Church Property.

iiNaSIi iSHSi ~
Paris, Feb 1.-Violent scenes oc-
Cured in many Paris churches during
the afternoon when government com
missioners appeared to take inven-
tories Of church property, pursuant to
the provisions Of the law providing
for the separation of church and state.
In many instances the commissioners
were unable to accomplish their tasks,
crowds of fervent Catholics filling the
editices, some protesting vigorously
and others chanting psalms. At the
Church of st. Roch a marriage cere-
mony had just terminated when the
government officials arrived The
clergy in full vestments were sur
rounded by a large body of men and
Canon Leclercq voiced a protest, but
the commissioners proceeded to make
an inventory amidst hostile shouts
from the congregation. 1t was with
he greatest difficulty that he was
protected from violence Eventually
the commissioner was elected and
chased along the street The police
arrived later, some fighting followed
and a number of arrests were made.
Similar scenes were witnessed at
other churches but at the cathedral
of Notre Dame the inventory taking
passed off quietly, the commissioner
carrying out his duties with the cler-
gy's assistance.

vice president OF the Fairbank Can
ming company, took the stand again
when the packers case was opened.
He testified to some small matters
on direct examination and was then
turned over to the district attorney
for cross-examination.
Mr.. Morrison asked the witness if
he had talked with the other witnesses
as to what his testimony would be.
The witness denied that he had done
so.
Are you a director of the National
Packing company"
All of the attorneys employed by
the packers at once objected to draw
ing the name of the National Packing
company into the case because that
company is not a defendant in the
case. Attorney George w. Brown de-
clared the purpose of the question was
to develop material for the trial on
the main issue.
The question was admitted and Mr..
Morris replied that he was a director
of the company. Inquiry as to the
other directors was ruled out by the
court
When YOU first met Commissioner
GARFIELD why were you not willing to
turn the books over?" asked Attorney
Morrison.
Il didn't want to do it unless | had
10 do 1t. There was an injunction
against u.s.
Was there anything in those books
to show you had violated that injunc-
tion?"
A chorus of objections greeted this
question and it was ruled out by the
