that two years ago Mr. Kegley, from
Washington state, introduced a resolu-

likely that a resolution changing the
representation ia the national grange
Will be introduced at the next annual
session Of the national grange. The
matter is being urged in Michigan as
well as In New York and other states

the american ship Tuscarora,
which first discovered this deep
trough. 1t is evident that the
island of Nippon came out Of there
because if it were loosened and
thrown into the hole it would
about fill it up.
1t the same way the Aleutian
and Kurile islands if dog off and
thrown into the adjacent trenches
near them would fill up the
troughs which now appear there.
If we go along in a field and come
upon a trench with a ridge beside
it, adds Prof. See, we know that
the ridge was made by dirt taken
out of the ditch.
This investigation showing how
mountains are formed in the sea
may prove of profound significance
for all the sciences which deal
with the earth. Prof. See declares
that the sea bottoms leak even
when the underlying rock is
twenty miles deep, and that all
the mountains were once in the
depths of the sea. They were up
lifted by earthquakes pushing up
the land and not at all by the
shrinkage of the earth.
Prof. See calculates that the
earth is new expanding from ten
to hundred times more rapidly
than it is contracting under the
influence of secular cooling. Thus
all the old books on geology must
be rewritten.
He discusses also a mountain
range new forming in the sea be-
tween Samoa and New Zealand.
Here the sea is very deep and has
ridge to the west just as in the
case OF the Kurile Islands. The
Pacific Ocean is erecting a wall on
the west just like the South
American Andes on the east.
The mountain chain between
Samoa and New Zealand is about
1900 miles long and eventually
will be very high. 1t is still be-
low the water, except a few of the
peaks which project as islands.
In the course Of geological ages
the western ridge will form a high
range, and then like the eastern
side Of the trough Will fold up and
form another high ridge parallel
to the first Thi, is how parallel
mountain ranges are formed. and

MANY MILLIONS

Some interesting Facts and

MASSES LIKE PAPER NOM
Because 1t is More Convenient to
Handle Many Certificates Are
Lost or Destroyed and Can Never
Be Presented for Redemption.

The Secretary of the Treasury's
annual report to Congress of June
50, 1907, shows the gold certificates
had from time to time been issued
by the Government to the amount
of S67159e ,9o9 with gold coin to
that full amount in the U. S.
Treasury for their redemption.
And silver certificates in the same
manner to the extent Of 500, 349,-
sos, aggregate the uaat sum of ST.
I4G, 645,477, an amount not pos
sesseG by any other government
in the world.
1t can be said this tremendous
amount is practically idle or dor
mant money. 1t is however, true
that certificates in the nature of
money or currency have been is
sued to this amount and in circula-
ton, for the redemption of which
the gold and silv er so deposited,
stands on deposit. But it is a
well known fact that a considera-
bic amount of these issues will
never be presented for redemption
or exchange for different reasons:
one, that the holders will prefer
the convenient coin money, espec-
tally silver, and large portion of
the certificate money will be lost,
destroyed or boarded, and so will
never be presented for redemption.
This kind of money is much more
convenient and preferable in ordi-
nary transactions and dealings.

A GREAT YEAR
FOR AIRSHIPS
Experiment al Fort MyeF Bound to
Stimulate Interest in Aerial
Navigation.

The interest in airships Of vari-
Gus descriptions is bound to be
stimulated in this country during
the coming year by the expert
ments which are to be carried on
at Fort Myer.
The mere fact that the Wright
brothers, of Dayton, O.. will give
their first public demonstration of
their closely-guarded invention
would in itselfbe sufficient to focus
the eyes of the world on the aerial
practice zone in Virginia, for the
Wrights are commonly believed
to have devised the most success
full ''heavier-th flying ma
chine yet evolved. Several for
eign nations negotiated for it, but
the price proved a stumbling block.
Now the United States is to have
for $4,000 the secret of the mys-
FERROUS machine which made such
remarkable flights over the sand
dunes of North Carolina. In the
same class as the Wright machine,
says The Boston Transcript, is the
airship which J. F. Scott, of Chi
cago, through patriotic motives,
proposes to give the Government
for the nominal price of $1,000, and
flying machine for which A. NJ.
Herring, of New York, will receive
the sum Of $4,000 should it prove
all that if claimed for it. None of
these "heavier- than-air sky craft
will be ready to go through their
PAGES in less than six months, and
the Wright machine is not promis-
ed for seven months, but in five
months or less Captain Thomas
Baldwin will have ready a dirigi-
bic balloon, for which he is to re-
ceive the sum Of $3.50, and the

WHAT MAKES
EARTHQUAKES.
Peculiar Processes in Depths of The
Sea Said TO Be Responsible.

In the March number of the
Proceedings of the American
Philosophical Society, which has
just appeared, Prof. T. J. J. See,
I. 5. n, the astronomer, has a
paper on The new theory of
earthquakes and mountain forma-
ton as illustrated by processes
now at work in the depths of the
sea. " In it he gives further evil
dence in support of his proposition
that mountains are formed by the
action of the sea, and not at all by
the secular cooling and shrinkage
OF the earth. The old theory
which compares the earth to
withered apple is pronounced I'M
sound.
In two previous papers Prof.
See argued that six great classes
OF phenomena, namely, earth
quakes, volcanoes, mountain for
nation, the formation of islands
and plateaus, seismic sea waves
following great earthquakes and
the feeble attraction of mountains
long noticed in geology, are but
different effects Of one common
cause.-the secular leakage of the
ocean bottom. This forms steam
beneath the earth's crust which
brings on earthquakes, and the
earthquakes, uplift islands in the
sea and mountains along the shore
by the expulsion of lava under
the land.
When the earth's crust is thus
uplltted along the seashore noun
talns are produced, and some of
the mountains break into eruption
and form volcanoes. The expul-
sion of lava from under the sea
undermines trenches in the sea

captain came out, the soldier salut-
ed, the captain returned the salute,
