SEES TROUBLE IN FUTURE
California a Region of Earthquakes,
Says Noted Writer in Har-
per's Weekly.

There is no better established fact
in the history of earth than that Cal
ifornia in ages past has been the
theater of some of the most tremen-
dous displays of volcanic energy.
There are square miles of lava beds
in the north mountains composed
entirely of stones; innumerable rem
nants of craters and cones; miles of
hills that look to this day like waves
of arrested lava covered with a thin
skin of soil, where no tree grows;
to say nothing of the tale told in
the layers of rock that may be seen
on Ihany bare mountain side. writes
Gertrude Atherton in Harper's Week.

May it not be that our lava tides

the crawling monster in the channels

earthquake of 1868, which was nearly
twice as long as our last, and was
followed by several weeks of con.
slant and considerable vibrations. If

WAR OVER MONEY MATTERS.
Strife Between Executive Department:
and Congress.

II Is a constant warfare between the
heads Of the executive departments
and congress over money matters.
Many schemes are devised by the de-
partment heads to wiring money from
congress. The new commerce depart
ment has been treated with special
niggardliness.
immigration matters have absorbed
most of the time of Secretary Metcalf
of the department of commerce during
the last year, except when he was sent
to San Francisco as the special repre-
sentative of the president. after the
earthquake. When Mr. Cortelyou or
ganized the department of commerce
and labor he did much to make the
secretary responsible fer all sorts of
detail, such as the heads Of depart
ments generally leave to competent
subordinates. Consequently Mr.. Met
calf fell heir to tough job. Also it
may be said, congress has pruned
down appropriations for this depart
ment, and Mr.. Metcalf has barely
enough money to get along with. Still
he does the best he can.
Secretary Wilson gets plenty of
money for the department of agricul-
ture, and, according to plans he has
been working on for some time, he in
tends to put the cotton boil weevil
and the Texas cattle tick out of bust
ness during the next year. Incidentally,
he and his civil service inspectors
hope to so control the beef packers
that the people can eat all sorts of
meat with perfect safety from his time
forward. Mr.. Wilson is a steady going
Scotchman that has been worried only
once, since he has been in the cabinet.
That was last summer, when the Of
ficials of the Southern Cotton associa-
ton were in the control of Wall street
spectators. The secretary of agricul-
ture has recovered from that shock,
however.

A FATHERS APPEAL.
Ee Wishes to Find His LiteIe Son

The little son OF DR.. S. L. Byers,
