Cornelius Says That

Union Carmen Flay Calhoun
By Richard Cornelius

Yesterdays business was one of the
most abominable events in the history of
unionism. Such rufians and thugs as Cal
houn loaded on his cars are disgrace, and
their lawlessness and lawbreaking work
stamped them as criminals They shot
right and left, regardless of who was hit.
Calhoun has very few competent motor
men or operators in that army Of thugs. He
has the offscouring of the scum of the large
cities, and if he keeps up his present meth
DDS he will get his fill before this strike is
over. We behaved like men yesterday, but
we do not intend to be shot down like dogs.
By the Conference Committee,

kindly sentiments which Mr. Calhoun en-

Earthquakes.

Among ti,e many strange relation
ships which earthquakes hold to vari-
GUS natural phenomena there Is possl-
bly, one between the times of their oc-
currence and OF Irregularities In the
revolution OF the world. For many
years IL has been observed that there
are slight but irregular changes In lati-
tude, or, in other words, the axis Of our
earth does not always point In the
same direction. The pole wanders
lbout In a. mean position. sometimes
in a path that Is nearly circular, while
1t others II appears to be exceedingly
irregular and even retrograde. The
world top IS not spinning truly, but 1t
slightly wabbles. When the change In
direction OF its axis Is sharp large
earthquakes have been frequent. II Il
swiftly moving body Is, so to speak,
compelled to turn corner, that Ii
should be subjected to strains which
might result in yielding Is easily con-
celvable Regarded from this point Of
view, the times at which strata In
seismic strain give way are to some
extent governed by erratic movements
In the rotation OF our sphere. The
earthquake and the wabble may. how
ever, be due to a common cause. and
the question therefore is one which re-
quireS closer examination.-John Milne

A "Turner" Story.

Very few London dealers indeed are
competent to judge Turner's works
that Is, without certified history. A
lady acquaintance Of mine had a large
picture in her house which she had al
ways regarded as Turner, and, desir-
ing to sell It, she offered II to five or
six OF the leading dealers, but not one
Of them would buy it at any price, as
sertlng that Turner never saw It and
that ii was nothing like his work, and
so on. a few months afterward a doc
ument turned up among her family pa
pers showing that the picture had been
specially painted by Turner for her
husbands father. and in a week she
had sold the work for f2,250. The ay-
erage dealer Is almost frightened 10

The Porcupine's Quills.

The spines are very loosely attached
to the porcupine. and they are very
sharp-as sharp as needle at the
outer end. At almost the slightest
touch they penetrate the nose OF a dog
or tie clothing or flesh of a person
touching the pOrcuplne and stick there,
coming away from the animal without
any pull being required. The facility
in catching hold with one end and let
ting go with the other has sometimes
caused people TO think that the spines
had been thrown at them. The outer
end Of the spines. for some distance
down. Is covered with small barbs
These barbs cause a spine once imbed-
ded In living animal TO keep working
farther In with every movement OF the
muscles, so that 1t is not a pleasant
thing to get stuck full Of them.
