appears to be general readjustment OF
the earth's crust, and may mark either
the beginning or close of a subsidence in
volving thousands of miles Of the conti-
mental masses. Professor Iibbey. of
Princeton, put forth theory four years
ago of a great zone of fracture involving
that almost-hemisphere which would have
the Bering Strait for a pole and would
extend for so degrees about it. The zone
embraces the lowlands that are most Oh
ten agitated by seismic jars, and is also
includes fve-sixths of the volcanoes
whose energies are commonly associat-
ed with the phenomena Of earthquakes.
If ensuing observation, shall establish
relationship between seismic or volcanic
upheaval in various parts of the globe
lying within this region, then activity in
one quarter may serve as warning in
another. f rt ss y
But at present, although such -rela
tionship is suspected, the scietnifc data
bearing upon them are too scattered, as
to place and time. to afford ground for
any general theory of value in preparing
against the effect of earthquake. 1t is
urged that such study be synchronized
and extended; that stations for observa-
ton, especially of volcanic activity, be
established in all quarters. that a deeper
and truer knowledge may be obtained of
impending or accomplished changes in
local earth levels. Had the eruption of
Vesuvius or the earthquake in San Fran
cisco been forseen. hundreds of lives
would have been saved, millions in prop
erty preserved against ruin and measures
could have been taken to check the ad-
vance of fire. Science is self-justiied, as
absolute knowledge, yet it is most ies-
teemed for it's practical results,

to make herself the commercial mistress
of the foreign trade of China, Manchu

that the possibilities in this direction may
be classed as more eneourag ging than ever

If parents will not or cannot keep
their children out of the physical and
moral dangers of the streets, it is the duty
of the municipality to do so, as far as
possible says the Washington "Star." ;"
For the boys and girls of today are the
men and womtn of a later decade, and
as they develop so will they affect the
tone of the community in which they live
in after years. The progress of the Grim
inal often begins in the street romping OF
a precocious youngster, perhaps truant
from school, maybe of good parents. He
does not know how to spend his time bet
ter than to loiter about the places where
his elders congregate. He picks up much
that is unfit for his ears and mind. If
he We're turned into big lot with other
boys, and there put to play in whole
some manner under the guildnce of a
careful director, he would probably pass
through the dangerous period of his de
velopment with no taint upon him. and
strongly buttressed against the tempta-
=
tions Of later life Fairgrounds, on a
large scale, with a liberal provision for
maintenance should be considered as
much Of necessity in every city. as a

In deciding to report to the Senate that
Reed Smoot is not entitled to a seat,
the Committee on Privileges and Elec-
ions has brought to a head a question
that has been under careful investigation
for period of three years says the New
ark Daily Advertiser How the Sen
ate is to deprive him of his seat rests
with that body. the committee having left
it open. Mr.. Smoot having taken the
cath of Office occupied his seat and ex-
ercised the privileges and duties of a
Senator, the question is whether the.
Senate can exclude him, which can be
done by only a majority vote, or must
expeI him, which requires a two-thirds
vote.
Whichever method is to be adapted,
there is no doubt that he must go Ae-
cording to the evidence the oath he took
as United States Senator is subordinate
and antagonistic to his oath as an apos-
tie of the Mormon Church; he is bound
10 uphold the latter organization which
is more political than religious insti-
tutioin. against the government and the
Constitution of the United States. He
canno be faithful to both. 1t is a moral
and patriotic question, not one of religion.
