The Earth as a Bell.

Studies of the violent earthquake
which occurred in the Balkan penin-
sula April 4, 1904, made by DR.. Emilio
Oddone, professor in the University of
Pavia, show that the shocks were
transmitted through the entire body
of the earth, and We're reflected from
the antipodes back to their place Of
origin in about 80 minutes Compar-
ing the records Of other great earth
quakes, DR.. Oddone concludes that
the average time required for a vbra
ton to traverse the globe and return
by reflection is from 80 to 33 minutes
The earth thus appears to be not alto
gether unlike great bell suspended
In space and vibrating throughout its
whole mass under strokes, which. COM
paratively speaking. observes the
Youths Companion, are no more than
the tapping Of finger nail. DR.. Cd
done calls attention to the interesting
coincidence between the time taken
for vibration to traverse the globe
and that required for light to cross the
diameter OF the earths orbit-Phila.

sWANs GUARDED THE BODY.
Birds Seemed to Be Guided by Some
Strange Instinct.

Two stately swans and half dozen
brilliant -plumaged ducks circled and
circled about wooden box that float
ed on the lake in Central park the
other afternoon, says the New York
World. Believing some kindly person
had put food in the box for the birds,
the crowds that were out in rowboats
did not disturb the graceful water
fowl. For hours the box drifted about
with the currents Of the lake, always
accompanied by its escort Of birds
Then Thomas Donahue, who has
charge of the park water fowl, OBJ
served the strange actions Of his pets,
and got rowboat. Donahue over
took the box 20 feet from shore on
that part OF the lake opposite West
Seventy seventh street. He was hor-
rified to find in it the body Of baby
about one week old. The body was
taken to the Arsenal Police station in
the park, where Lieut.. McGirr said he
believed the child had been dead two
days 1t Is a mystery to the p0lice
how the box noated on the lake two
days without any one discovering Its
contents. Donahue says he had
missed several of his swans and ducks
during that period, and he believes
the birds remained with the box.

TWO QUESTIONS TO DECIDE.

Two questions will be submitted t(
the voters at a special election to bt
held in this city Sept. "a, namely Il
Shall the ordinance accepting the Offer
of the water works company for the
sale of its plant to the city for $3.50, OO(
be ratified or rejected? (2)If the ordi
nance be rejected shall the city take the
necessary steps to acquire the plant
under the public utility law?
At the council meeting last Thursday
night resolution was passed providing
for the submission of the second ques-
ton. The resolution reads as follows:
"WHEREAS special election has been
called for September 24th 1907, to vote
upon the ratification or rejection of an
ordinance accepting the offer of the
Manitowoc Water Works Company to
sell its plant to the city, and
WHEREAS since the last municipal ell
ection an act known as the Public Utility
Law has been enacted placing all Water
Works Companies and all cities operat-
ing water works plants under the con-
troll of the Railroad Commission respect
ing rates, service, regulation, accounting
and reports, so that cities owning water
works plants and corporations operat-
ing water works plants are alike under
the control of the Railroad Commission,
and
WHEREAS under these changed con-
ditions the people ought to have an OPP
portunity to express their wishes rs to
whether they desire municipal owner.
ship of the plant, Now, Therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of
Aldermen of the City of Manitowoc that
at said special election shall also be sub
mitted to a vote of the people upon a
separate ballot the question
If the offer of the water works com
pany to sell is rejected then shall the
city proceed to acquire the water works
plant by condemnation proceedings
under the Public Utility Law
Said question shall be printed upon
separate ballot and the ballots as voted
shall be deposited in separate ballot
box, and the result of the canvass of the
votes shall be returned by the inspect
ors."
If the city shall determine at the
special election to acquire the plant by
condemnation proceedings that means
that the city will have to take over the
plant. There can be no more childs
play over the matter Should the city
be dissatisfied with the order of the com-
mission all it can do is to appeal to the
circuit court to alter or amend such
order. The case should be tried in Dane
County. There would be no jury. The
Judge would hear and decide the case
on the record.

PETER SCHAD FOUND DEAD.

Peter Schad, employed as blacksmi tn
at the shop of VIM. Langjahr in this
city, was found dead along the tracks
of the G. M. & st. Paul Ry. at about
o'clock last Sunday afternoon by Louis
Reiter of Sheboygan and Chas, Joessel
of Cleveland. The matter was imme
diately reported to the city authorities
and Justice of the Peace d. Mahlsted
empaneled a jury comprised of Chas.
Volquartz, NJ. p. Prndivlle j. j. O, Con.
nell f. A. Gardener, JAG. Bub and
Chas. Arndt who viewed the remains
and adjourned until Saturday. DR.. L. A.
Bruins was called upon to ascertain the
cause of death.
1t is not definitely known how he came
to his end, but he had left home about
o'clock Sunday morning to gather
blackberries and the presumption is
that he stepped from the railroad tracks
while train passed. and not stepping
far enough was struck by it, sustaining
a broken neck.
He was born at st. Nazianz, Manito-
woo county, May Il, 1866. He followed
the vocation of a blacksmith and came
to Plymouth about twelve years ago, at
that time securing employment at the
Griese shop. Later he entered the EN-.
ploy of Mr. Laugjahr, where he remain
ed up to the time of his death. He was
married to Miss Katherine Pfang of the
town of Plymouth on May % 1897, who,
with one son Irving and daughter Media,
survives. He is also survived by his par
ents, five brothers and four sisters. The
funeral was held from his late home

weakness and frequent i'll health, but
too frequently become a burden to So

1t is our conclusion that the textbooks

imparting knowledge Of the laws Of
health, the necessity of cleanliness on

sanitation of the homo and municipal

Judge Martis Conducts Defense.

Judge John NJ. Martin of this CITY
conducts the defense in the case OF
the state against Paul Fournier and
James Elwell. at Bemidji, accus ed
OF the murder of old man Dahl and
his daughter near Black Duck some
four years ago.
The defendants have twice before
been arrested and discharged both
times. Now they have been in.
dicted and must stand trial, the
case being opened yesterday.
Mr.. Dahl and his daughter resid
ed on their claim near Black Duck
and in April, 1904, they disappeared
suddenly, and .mysteriously. AS
Dahl had sold some land a short
time before and was believed to
have carried the proceeds with him
estimated at ST 300, it was suspected
that the Dahls had met with foul
play. The authorities ACCORDINGLY
instituted a search, but without
success. At last reward of 81 500
was offered for the recovery OF
either or both Of the bodies and
they were discovered later by
searchers on the Dahl land.
