Scientists All At Sea.

"The land on which we live and
build our homes-the land which the
sea writers of the early part of the last
century confidently and almost affect
ionately termed terra firma-is well
nigh as restless as the ocean which
washes it's shores. In England at least
70 unfelt earthquakes, each of which
has duration varying from 90 min
utes to several hours, may be recorded
yearly. Our buildings rock and sway,
if we could but see them, as the masts
of a ship on heaying sea. To be sure,
the incessant rising aud falling of the
waters is more violent than the motion
Of the land, but the difference between
the two is largely difference of effect
the difference between a billow and
a'ripple."
This was written by one of the edi-
tors of the Scientific American just af-
ter the Mont Pelee disaster. 1t is of
particular interest at the present time
when scientists are befogging the pub

plantations CT the San Francisco earth

Affects Rural Carriers.

A decision which will have widespread
effect among the rural mail carriers of the
country has just been made public Ivy the
Comptroller of the Treasury.
A few weeks ago lie received commune
cation inquiring whether the Postmaster
General has authority to increase the COM
pensatlon of rural letter carrier to take
effect at prior date. It seems that the SAL
airy of rural carrier is based upon the
amount of territory covered by his route. 1t
was stated that a number of complaints had
been received from carriers declaring that
their routes had been underestimated by the
government agents and asking that they be
given increased compensation.
The Comptroller decided that the Post
master General has no authority to grant
their requests and that they must ABIDE by
the decision Of the government agents.

Our town has been gradually getting its
indebtedness paid off, streets repaired and
other improve m nts made. All real prof.
erty and personal belongings are taxel to
nearly full value and sometimes more. to
meet the requirements Of the town, but we
are reliably informed thai there is certain
class of prol erty h'l Id by many persons Nv
ing in Thulmont that does not pay cent of
tax, namely, stocks ard bonds. Why should
such as these escape When every lille home
is required to pay to lh' full value? We say
it is not right and our officials should see to
it that every class of property bears its share
Of taxes. There is no reason for making
person who owns $1,000 worth of real estate
pay taxes to the town while his neighbor
owning $1,000 worth Of Stocks OF bonds pays
