INDIAN QUAKE THEORY,

Believe Center OF Earth Ii FILLED
With Compressed Hot Lava.
Major Cicero Newell tells why there
are such things as earthquakes, tidal
waves and volcanoes, says special
dispatch from Seattle. Wash, to the
Chicago Record Herald. The major
learned these things from the Dakota
Indians. E ...-S%. =.
when l lived among the Dakotas," ,"
said he, II found men who, like Bud
dha. gave seven years Of their lives to
prayer and fasting that they might be-
come pure In the sight Of God, or the
Great Spirit, as they call that being.
After they have proved themselves be-
fore their people by performing so
called miracles, such as holding their
hands and arms In boiling water aud
not being burned, shot with poisoned
arrows and not harmed, bitten by rat
tlesnakes and not poisoned 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 tho 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
ters Of the ocean Ill in and there Is a
great explosion as the water strikes
this great bed Of hot lava, large masses
Of tho 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 great wave Is started
for the shore that carries death and
destruction 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 :hick that the cooling process is
mere slow"

500 years ago. One of these pyramids
is 170 feet in height, and ON the sim,

diameter. This, as we'll as others. is

Near this stands another Of white
limestone, built in four terraces,

which would put to shame the modern
American. sculptor. 1t has stood all
these centuries, yet limestone is much
easier broken than cement. Think of
a town of almost 100000 persons, and
the fire record is three in one year.
The inside walls of many Of the build
ings are built around courts. There
is no provision in any Of them for
fires, and at the present time small
coal oil stoves are selling in the city
for $20-the same that sell for 81 in
the United States. The floors are Of
stone, the ceiling of filsgreed cement,
the walls of coarse plaster, and al
most without exception hand painted.
The architecture on many buildings
in the republic shows that the Indian
of centuries ago was ahead of the
modern building of today.

loupe the other day-a few miles out
from the city There is an old story
that on Saturday morning, December
9, 1913, an image of woman APP
pearcd on the flowers the picture Of
the Diego, on top of the Teueyacac
mountain. The virgin told him in
his vision to tell the bishop to erect a
temple in her memory on the hill
side and dedicate it to the holy shrine.
1t is said that he gathered bunch of
flowers on the hill that had never be-
fore produced vegetation. and when
presenting it to the bishop there APP
peared on the owners the picture of
the Virgin Mary. The story was talk
Ell to the Pope Of Rome, who refused
to countcnancc it. But few years
later the finest shrine in the world
was built on the spot where the vir-
gin appeared, and it stands today Il
bcwildcring amazing monument of
modern architecture projected hun.
dredS of years ago. 1t is given up 20
be the finest place of worship on the
western hemisphere, and was built
by Indians for Indian worship. The
richest and the poorest are seen here
hourly. knecling and praying aloud to
the Virgin. At certain times of the
year thousands and thousands Of III
dians come from distances of a thous-
and miles to worship at this shrine.

because they are not as solid as brick
and stone, but on account of the IN

have been used in Mexico for 500
years, and all the cathedrals and

and "our duty as lawyers to it," be-
fore the Georgia Bar association on
Thursday night In the course of his
address, Mr.. jerome referred to Pres,

ted States court judge, saying:
"rhere is one injustice which pub,
lie opinion not infrequentIy does, and
one which lawyers do much to cor

not avoid making if they obeyed the

HeIaht at which binds Am.

A singular method of determining
the height at which birds fly when
they are migrating is recorded in
the Morning Post Two observers
watched the moons disk at night
through small telescopes placed some
distance apart, and from the different
paths of the birds which were seen.
projected against the moon, from the
two stations, it was possible to com
pute the height and direction Of flight
of each bird.
This method has been employed
and further developed this year by
Joel Stebbins e. A. Rath Of the Uni
versity Of Illinois, and has been used
to estimate not only the height at
which the birds fly, but to find with
much greater accuracy than has been
possible heretofore the speed of their
fight. The average height at which
migrating birds fly is not more than
1,50O feet from the ground, but the
speeds at which they travel appear
to be greater than has of late years
been believed to be the case. The
minimum speeds of the birds observed
varied from so miles to 13O miles an
hour 1t should be said, however,
that the birds we're flying with the
wind.

A Valuable Agent.

The glycerine employed IN DR.. Pierce'a
medicines greatly enhances the medi-
cinal properties which 1t extracts and
holds In solution much better than alco-
hol would. 1t also possesses medicinal
properties OF its own being valuable
demulcent nutritive, antiseptic and anti
ferment. 1t adds greatly to the efficacy
of the Black Cherry bark, Golden Seal
root, Stone root and Queens root con-
tanned IN vGolden Medical Discovery in
subdung chronic, or lingering coughs,
bronchial, throat and lung affections,
for all OF which these agents are recon-
mended by standard medical authorities.
In all cases where there is a wasting
away of flesh, loss of appetite, with
weak stomach, as in the early stages Of
consumption, there can be no doubt that
gycerine acts as valuable nutritive and
aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root,
Queens root and Black Cherrybark in
promoting digestion and building up the
flesh and strength, controlling the cough
and bringing about healthy condition
of the whole system. OF course, 1t must
not be expected to work miracles. 1t will
not cure consumption except in its earlier
stages. 1t will cure very severe, obstin-
ate, chronic coughs, bronchial and laryn-
geal troubles, and chronic sore throat
with h0arseness. In acute coughs 1t is
not so effective. 1t is In the lingering
coughs, or those of long standing, even
when accompanied by bleeding from
lungs, that it has performed its most
marvellous cures. Send for and read the
