NO CONNECTION WITH VEsuvIus
Scientists Discuss Probable Cause Of
California Disaster.

Washington, April 19.-The possible
relation of the earthquake in San
Francisco to the eruption of Mount
Vesuvius formed the subject of much
discussion among scientists in this
city. None of them was willing to
advance any argnmen. which would
tend to connect one with the other.
In fact, the officials of the geological
survey declared that there was no re-
laticnship whatever, both being local.
Professor G. w. Hayes, director OF
geology Of the geological survey, said:
THE San Francisco disturbances are
due to the slipping of the surface
rocks to adjust themselves to changed
conditions inside the earth. They have
no relationship whatever to the erup.
ton of Vesuvius. The interior of the
earth is in molten state, except in
the region of the volcanoes, but if you
go down a distance of sixty or sew
enty miles the rocks are practically in
a fluid state from the immense pres.
sure on top of them. They act like
liquid and they flow to adjust them.
selves to changed conditions. But
when you come nearer the surface,
where the strata are hard and brittle,
the slipping of a part of the earth's
crest along the line of a fault will
give you just the conditions that at.
tended the attack in San Francisco.
The old earth, take it as a whole, is a
very uneasy body, and is in state Of
constantly changing equilibrium.
When the foundations dip down there
has to be an adjustment of the sur.
face, like the breaking up of ice on a
river. and readjustment of the
blocks to each other. This is evidently
what has just happened on the coast"

will be necessary to raise this sum
before work can be commenced on any
Of the projects and it is up to the
citizens Of Denison to do it. The
commi ttee thinks that it can count on
from fifteen hundred to two thousand
dollars to be raised. This seems like
small sum but it must be remem-
bered that all the principal sources
have been drained.
This is the time for the men who
can not afford large stock subscrip-
tions to come to the rescue. If you
can subscribe ten dollars, do it now.
You will surely get that much benefit
from these public imp rovements. To
be exact the amount now raised is

ing the plan of holding a .ass meet

Governor Folk certainly has the
best wishes of all good people in his
effort to punish the lynchers at
Springfield, Missouri. The only way
that state can redeem it's good name
is by some legal hangings. The fact
that two of the negroes lynched at
Springfield Missouri are said to have
been innocent only adds to the posi-
bility that two more negroes will be
lynched. The Review would like
friend Pettis to correspond with his
clerical friend and find out what he
thinks of the Springfield lynching.

A w. G. I. U. Meeting.

On April IL, the Women's Christ
ian Temperance Union met at McKim
Reading Room with the Nom Partisan,
w. C. 7. U. by special invitation.
There was a good attendance in
spite of the rain and an interesting
and profitable meeting was held. Mrs.
Plimpton, who is often called the
Mother of the Denison w. C. T..
u" was the guest of honor. In her
talk, at the close of the program, she
spoke of the days when she was active
in the work IN this county and Of
those who were co-workers with her
at that time. Then, speaking of the
work in her present home state-Col-
orado-she gave some hew ideas on
the suffrage question from the stand
point of one who speaks from exper-
fence. While, as she says, the right
to vote has not enabled the women
to put down all evil in Colorado it has
made it possible for them to correct
much that is evil and they expect to
accomplish more and more each year.
All were glad to have Mrs. Plim-
pton present at this meeting and to
hear her helpful words. Mrs. Cassidy,
as president of the other organiza-
tion, most cordially rendered the use
of their room for all future meetings
of the W. c. T. U. Altogether the
meeting was very enjoyable and fore
Swallowed the spirit that will prevail
at the convention next fall when bott
organizations will be united as one.
Refreshments were served and q
pleasant social hour followed.
