To Investigate Earthquakes.

Secretary Metcalf of the department
of commerce and labor has ordered
the coast survey to make an investi-
cation to ascertain whether there has
been any horizontal displacement OF
the earth's crust on the Pacific coast
as a result of the earthquake of April
Is last. This will be necessary in
order to rectity existing charts and
maps. In India, after the earthquake
of 1897, revision of the tIiangulation
showed difference in distance of %
feet and of 13 feet in height.
Prof. Omori of Japan, who is IN
vestigating the effects of the earth
quake in San Francisco, says that, if
accurate observations had been taken
of the smaller shocks, it would be
easy to predict when the earth would
again tremble. He predicts that
small shocks will continue to occur
for two years or more, but that there
will not be another great shock in
that part of the country for fifty
years.

The Staples Decision.

The full text of decision of the
supreme court in the Staples murder
case will be found elsewhere in these
columns. 1t was received with much
satisfaction by large majority of
the people of this community. What
ever private opinion may have been
entertained of the guilt of the ac-
cused, it was generally conceded that
the facts sworn to at the trial of the
cause did not Justify the verdict
rendered. Many we're outspoken in
so declaring at the time. And the
Ledger in an article published
Immediately after the trial, con-
tended that regardless of expenses,
the matter ought to be passed up to
the highest tribunal for review that
the good name of this community
demanded such action, as we'll as the
rights of the defendant. Very few
believed that the higher court would
sanction the taking of human life by
judicial proceeding on the showing
made. And it is we'll to point out
that the supreme court has Travelled
somewhat out of the beaten path in
baslng its reversal. The defendant IS
release from the death sentence is not
based on tiimsy technicalties. That
tribunal usually passes upon ques-
tions of law purely. The jury is
supposed to be the judge of the facts,
and the weight to be given to the
evidence. The rule is that the court
in the course of the trial passes upon
the legality of the testimony as it is
presented, and objected to by the
defense. But after the evidence has
been admitted, the jury becomes the
judge Of its sufficiency. In the
Staples case, however, the appellate
court has brushed this doctine aside,
and boldly sets aside the judgment on
the ground that the testimony Was
wholly inadequate to sustain the
verdict. The case is discussed at
length on its merits, and the con-
clusion reached that the basic fact of
murder was not established; that the
proof tended to show that the de-
ceased Mrs Edna May Staples; died
from natural causes-typhoid fever
and not from criminal methods at
the hands of her husband, f. N.
Staples, the defendant.
Of course, the decision of the court
in this shape, is conclusive of the
whole matter, unless the prosecution
has more direct testimony to present
at another trial. 1t would be utterly
futile, and a needless expense to GO
TO trial again without additional and
stronger evidence. AS far as known,
there is no further material test imony
to be had
1t is probable. as soon as the re-
mittur-the official notice from the
appellate court to the trial COURTS
received, which Is expected in few
days, that the district attorney will,
in face of this decision, move a dis
missal of the case. DR.. Staples has
been in Jail since January, 1905, over
Is months.

A Forest of Giants.

1t is almost impossible for one who
has seen only the eastern or Rocky
mountain forests to imagine the
woods of the Pacific coast. Pictures
of the big trees are as common as
postage stamps, but the most wonder
full thing about the big trees, says the
American Magazine, is that they are
scarcely bigger than the rest of the
forest. The Pacifice coast bears only
a tenth of our woodland, but nearly
helf our timber. An average acre in
the Rocky mountain forest yields
1000 to 1000 board feet of lumber, in
the southern forest 5000 to 1000, in
the northern forest 1000 to 5000. An
average acre on the Pacific coast
yields 15, 600 to 20, 600. Telesc ope the
southern and Rocky mountain forests,
toss the northern on top OF them and
stuff the central into chinks, and,
acre for acre, the Pacific forest Will
outweigh them all.

The present atom being made up of

been made to estimate the number of
the latter. Some months ago G. F.
Guye calculated that the hydrogen
atom consists of one negative and one
positive electron, and that the latter
is the smaller. Prot. j. j. Thomson IS
latest experiments indicate that the
number of negative electrons in the
atom corresponds to the atomic
weight of the element. This theory
would give to the hydrogen atom one

We shall therefore withhold it until

God works in mysterious way,
His wonders to fulfill,
But his demands we must obey.
And follow, follow still.
1t is not given US, below,
To see the plan on high.
Not now Is it for us to know,
Nor yet to question why?
We must follow where he leads US,
Thorny though the path may be.
Trusting in the blessed Jesus,
Who has suffered like as we.
Though the way be dark and dreary,
And we cannot understand,
Though our hearts are faint and weary,
We will follow his right hand.
We will let that right hand guide US,
Even though it be-to die,
Trusting that he will provide US,
With his own strength from on high.
And when we reach the other shore,
In the way that he has planned,
The mysteries will be no more,
And then--we'I understand.
So we'll follow through the darkness,
Follow, follow through the night.
Follow to eternal brightness,
Follow to eternal light.
We Will follow, follow, follow,
AS he gently leads the way.
We will follow, follow, follow,
To the realms of endless day.
