Appearance Deceptive

On one occasion Daniel Webster was on his way to Washington, and was compelled to proceed at night by stage from Baltimore. He had no travelling companion, and the driver had sort of felon look which produced no incon- siderable alarm in the senator. "I en- deavored to tranquilize myself" said the senator "and had partly succeeded when we had reached the dark woods between Blanoensburg and Washing ton-a a proper scene for murder or outrage: and here, 1 confess my cour- age again deserted me. Just then the driver turned to me, and with a grutt voice inquired my name. l gave it to him. Where are you goingY said he. the reply was, to Washington. l am a senator.' Upon this the driver seized me fervently by the hand and exclaim- ed, 'how glad l am. took you for a highwayman.'"

Insurance to Be Paid

The steamship Saratoga, wrecked on Busby reef in Prince William sound several weeks ago, will be left to rust in her rocky cradle unless some sangulne salvage company can see money in purchasing the wreck.
 The Saratoga was worth about $l75,- 900 and the amount of insurance on her and her cargo totaled about $780, GOO. This money will be paid over as soon as certain legal details are attend ed to. The underwriters figured that it would cost in the neighborhood of $70,O0O to make the temporary repairs necessary to get the Saratoga off the reef and put her in shape to stand the voyage down to a drydock whele per manent repairs could be undertaken. While the vessel is resting in a place where the storms are not to be feared, owing to the shelter afforded by the islands of the sound, the tides are high and would interfere greatly with the releasing of the ship. The buckling of the bulkheads also has created a situation difficult to remedy, and the strengthening of the hull to stand the journey southward would be slow and costly work, while the danger in mak- ing the long trip by the outside pas sage for crippled hull is such that good business argument decided in favor of not making the attempt.
 The Saratoga is regarded as a good piece of salvage, as her engines are in good trim and can be removed from the wreck to lighters without great difficulty. Other materials from the vessel including the broken-up hull, will be valuable, while the $50 tons of ore in her forward hold is worth $50 a ton..-P.-I.

Arctics We're Tropics

Minneapolis That the ice bound re gions of the north were qt one time the tropics. with dense iuugles and tn- habired by the mighty ma,todons of the tortd zone, iS rhn theory advanced by William D. Johnson, of No. lol9 West Tweuu-Etghth street, who ha, returned from Candle, Alaska, two hundred mile, north of Nome, on the Seward peninsula AJr. Johnson was there for about yea" as assistant superintendent O. tue Chicago Creek Coal mines. During hi, stay he made an extensive study of the conditions of the country and t,, people,
 After hi, re,arch AIr. Johnson reached the opinion that the tropical belt of the earth wa, shifted from it's location about the pole, To the eQua- torial zone. lie accounts for this phe- uomeuou by a sudden shifting of the earth on tl, axis through some violent disturbance of a seismic nature. This shifting of position he declares, con ceuraJed the suns rays on different part of the earth, leaving the former tropics furthest removed and therefore coldeSt.
 "Every condition of the country geo. logically substautiates this theory, and it is shared by many students of the subject" he said. "For instance, pros pectors have discovered in sinking shafts, that the plants and even ant- mals known Co be found only in the torid zone are perifed many hundred feet beneath the strata of ice and the glacial salt. No like species of animal or vegetable life are now to be found in the polar regions, which can only be explained by the changing of the antipOdes. That the animals and plants found in a state of preservation beneath the surface of the soil one time existed in the land cannot be de- nied The logical conclusion is that this deSolate waste of ice was perhaps, thousands of years ago verdant with fine growth and alive with beast and birds.

Heavy Travel to Coast

Charles $. Fee, passenger traffic manager of the Southern Pacific rail way, predicts a heavy tourist travel to the Pacific coast this summer despite the recent financial furry in the East. Mir. Fee was in the city for several hours on his way to California from the East, where he has been on a pleas we,trip with his family.
 "While the financial stringency has been felt harder in the East than on the Pacific coast" said Mir. Fee, conditions are improving all the time, and am of the opinion that the tourist travel to the Pacific coast this summer will be heaver than a year ago. The Hartman lines have favor ed reduced rates for the summer tray el, and the policy of low tourists and colonlsts' rates will be continued. D. P.-I.

HOW THEY FEEL.
Brockton Bleacherites Will Miss
 Harry 0'Hagan.

Much regret will be felt by the
 hleacherites at the Brockton games over the news from Lynn this morn
 ing. Captain Harry 0'Hagan it will
 be their sweet privilege to greet no more and tell him what they think of him. The serappy first baseman who had a run-in with Umpire Michael O'Brien on the Center street grounds, and for whom since. that day un- bounded testimonials of affection have been ready whenever he hit this burg, leaves the little old New England league. He has been sold to Water bury, where he was formerly captain, and will with Mullaney recall tender ly the days of their New England league experiences for the rest of the summer O'Hagan was getting too strenuous even for Lynn. Besides. he wasn't delivering the goods, and the way the Lynns were losing games was causing mad cries of anguish from the Lynn fans. Next to sending Murnane and Morse to the block they decided they wanted O'Hagan decap. tated. and the captain has been shooed away to save him. It is said Lynn gets $500 for him.
 William Miller, the Lynn shortstop, under suspension for refusing to sub init to a fine, has also been sent to Waterbury, which wants team that can win a little and is making des- perate efforts to get players.-Brock- ton Enterprise.

 The storm and darkness came on ir the ninth. At the opening of the inning the score was ? to in favor of the Mountaineers. Cornell, who started the game by getting his base because of being hit by tie ball, and which resulted in the old score of the visitors, again came first to the bat and got bis base on balls. PIeiss bunted and Cornell got second. Havel was hit by pitched ball. Then Simmons stepped up and the trouble soon began, and before it ended the score was 4 to in favor Of New Haven.
