The review Of Oregon and Wash.

a permanent place in the geological
history of the coast. The article Is

ls.ccording to geologists there is a

vents which surround the Pacific
ocean as chain Of fire and extend
through California and the northwest.
This is demonstrated by the local dis
trbauces which are occasionally felt
at about the same time in the various
sections.
This almost endless chain begins in
far away Terre del FuegO, appropri-
atelg', "The Land of Fire" and is ex'
tends along the wet slope OF South
and Central America, where the belt
is only about 80 miles wide. But
when it reaches Mexico is brcadens
to nearly 500 miles. II touches the
gulf coast and causes disturbance in
that region From Mexico the belt
of fire extend northward TO Califor
mia, Oregon. Washington, and along
the coast line of British Columbia.
Thence il extends 70 Alaska, where
there anc Large, active craters, and
thence through the Aleutian Islands

islands. The burning eraters OF frozen

Gen. wheeIer's Mental Activity.

The late Gen. Wheeler was a man
Of intense mental activity. No better
evidence of tits could he asked than
a 'lume of some 400 pages entitled
"A Revised System of Cavalry Tactics
for the Use of the Cavalry and Mount
ed Infantry. c. S. A." by Major Gen
eral Joseph Wheeler, c. S. A, and pub
lished at Mobile. Ala. in 1863 by s. II.

and comprehensive treatise and when
the fact is taken into consideration
that its author was in constant active
and exactiIg service in the field dur

the achievement mast be regarded as
an extraordinary one. A copy of the
book is kept among the 'locked up"

What Is ~"Blimmino."

How well he blims!" is now a com.
mon remark among society hostesses.
They mean hat he is a person gifted
in the ability to talk amiably without
saying anything. 1t is an art much in
cultivation at the present time. 1t is
thought that in blimming we have dis
covered the perfect solution of the
conversational difficulty. At one time
hostesses ran after the people whose
talk had a reputation for %profundity.
1t never became the popular thing to
harbour opinions that were idiotic, but
to-day the good blimmer is worth his
weight in gold. The only nuisance
about it is that n is apt to blim at
times when one is seriously expected
to talk sense.-Liverpool (Eng.) Mer.

ALL IN THE SLEEP OF DEATH.
Mother and Children Together on
Lies Last Journey.

LIc Last Journey.
In a fashionable London (Eng.)
hotel a few days ago two little chill
dren lay in bed by the side of their
mother, apparently asleep. In reality
they were dead. while their mother,
a beautiful and rich young lady, was
herself unconscious and on the brink
of death. The night before the moth
err, full of ~cheerfulness, had taken
them to the theater. In the morning
the hotel servants found the gas jet
turned fully or and the %crevices of the
room stopped up with paper, anti
macassars, and other things. On the
dressing table was a slip of paper on
which was written in a good, firm
hand, please wire for my husband"
Near the slip Of paper was an enve-
lope containing two letters. One was
from the little girl who, in her night
dress with its pink bows, lay in bed
dead. 1t ran: Dear Daddy-We have
come up to London, and we are going
to see the pantomime. l hope you
won't miss u.s." Crosses for kisses
were added. The other letter in the
envelope, written apparently by the
oma to her husband, expressed the
hope that what she was doing would
be for your benefit"

HER HUSBANDS HOUR OF JOY
Partner Of Successful Woman Re.
cejves His Reward,

ceives His Reward.
The famous and successful woman
was addressing a large audience.
II cannot but confess she said,
that the many marks Of respect and
esteem and confidence I have received
from the public during the past years
have been sources of great pride and
qualification to me. But 1t would be
unwomanly in me were I to calmly ac-
cept these tributes Of your confidence
and take all the credit to myself. l be-
lieve that this is the time for me to
make acknowledgment in this public
manner to one who has been my com
panion, my counselor and my guide,
and who has upheld my weary hands
when the tasks seemed too great for
my strength, and who has cheered me
with loving words when l have re-
turned worn and weary from my ardu-
GUS duties in club and on rostrum, who
has by thoughtful, constant ministra-
tons given the blessed knowledge that
always there is for me a haven of
refuge and rest, a harbor of comfort
and cheer-my home. All that l am
and all that I have I owe to that in
estimable man, my husband"
Among the vast ~assemblage that
cheered and huzzaed at hearing these
noble sentiments could be seen the
modest figure of a man, weeping silent
tears Of Joy. In this glorious moment
his slender frame seemed surrounded
by a glow of gladness and eve his
straggly whiskers took on some
semblance of grace. 1t was her hus-
band. The poor mans patience and
s~elf-sacrifce were recognized at last

Senator'S Wife a Deep Scholar.

Perhaps the most scholarly woman
in society in the capital is Mrs. Henry
Cabot Lodge. AS the daughter OF
Rear Admiral Charles H. Davis she
was reared In an atmosphere of cul.
ture. She took a college course in
Wellesley and studied in other seats
Of learning. She takes n keen interest
in Greek studies. but. being modest,
she never has become known publicly
for her attachments. Strangely enough,
In view Of the fact that she is a New
England woman. she never has sought
the laurels of authorship. But she has
been AN invaluable aid to her husband
and his chief dependence in research
and the reading of proof sheets.

EVANSTON FRESHIES L.:
OBJECTED TO DONKEY

Chicago, June 21.-Bloodshed and
bruises, torn and soiled robes were the
result Of the. exuberant class spirit
rampant at Northwestern university at
the annual class day exercises. An ugly
burro, bedecked with the old gold Of
the freshman class, which was led at
the front of the sophomore contingent
when the march from Willard hall to
the campus began, was the cause Of the
trouble When the smoke Of battle
cleared away blood was streaming from
the nostrils Of John Shumway, fresh
man president; John P. Joseph, his as
sailant and leader Of the sophomore
van, had discolored eye, and many
class robes were torn and smeared with
dirt.
Co-eds played no small part in the
melee. A swarm Of them, following
close in the wake Of the attacking
freshmen, quickly despoiled the donkey
Of his gaudy fnery and had him well
stripped before the sophs had put up
enough Of a defense to show their
strength. The implied tauntN by the
sophomores was too much for the fiery
spirit Of the freshmen, and the scene
Of carnage resulted, thus partly spelling
the harmony of the DAVIS exercises.

ATTACK MEAT Bill
FOR THE PRESIDENT
Senator'S Oppose Saddling Ingpec-
ton Cost on Government
Want Cans Dated.

Washington. June 21.-The friends Of
the president have made it plain in the
senate that the house substitute for the
Beveridge meat inspection amendments
was not entirely satisfactory to him
when accepted, but that some. points
were yielded in a spirit Of Cancellation.
] It was equally apparent that strong at
tempt will be made to have such
changes effected in conference as will
render the amendment absolutely &C
cording to the presidents liking.
The two points involved are that the
] date of the inspection may be omitted
from all cans and packages containing
meat products and that the govern
ment shall pay all the expenses Of the
inspection service. This is according to
the house substitute. The president
each can and package and that fee
system be devised whereby the. packers
should pay the cost of inspection.
The senate eonferees will concentrate
all their efforts ron these two points,
i fighting for both in the hope that one
may be saved. 1t is not expected they
can gain both controverted points, but
compromise might give them one
I point. The hardest contest will be
made for the fee system, and secondari-
1y for the date of inspection. ~.->.

. The presidents attitude was made
clear by Senator Lodge, always &C
. credited as the presidents mouthpiece

who has acted as the president s chief
lieutenant in the meat inspection mat
ter. Both made strong speeches on the
matter in the senate yesterday.

3 1+,1ra ROY hn yxri1 1,o
chairman of the conference committee,
opened the debate on the beef question
! by calling up the conference report and
saying that he would like to hear the
views of senators on these points of
date and payment. He said the strik-
ing out of the date was not very i'm
; portant, as the packers would always
sell the oldest product first. He thought
: It wise to have the date put on the
! labels.
Advertising for Packers.
He thought it extremely unwise that
the government should pay the cost of
inspection. He did not consider it a
proper tax on either the cattle raiser or
I advertising for the packers. It gives

!. their output. "a. s,...,-.
