The FL Paso (Texas) Herald, an
afternoon newspaper published in one
of the great and growing towns of
the Southwest, is a fine example of
the modern newspaper. In a recent
edition, twenty-eight pages in size, it
pictures the coming on October 16 of
President Diaz and President Taft to
FL Paso, and, by excellent press work,
gives the colors of the two republics

STANDING TOGETHER TO WIN.

] Just before battle, the commanding
general arouses the fire of patriotism
in the soldiers breasts. He urges
that they all stand together as one
man and fight to the last.
/ Not only is it true in war that men
must stand together in order to be
victorious, but also in peace. Busi,
ness men realize the necessity of 60.
operation and hence stand together
in their affairs. Students understand
tnat they must combine to accomplish
anything of Importance.
The great reform movements of the
country have been effected only by a
united people. Separation and divi-
sion can accomplish nothing For
divisions of men, instead of centering
their attention on d chief, worthy
cause, spend their time in wrangling
with one another. Our republic real
l%9S the need of standing together, for
in its infancy it put forth the principles:

cooperation must be had in all things

logical periods began, life appeared
in the warm waters, while the cold,
ever at work, was necessarily causing
the internal mass to contract, soon the
shell became too large for the liquid
mass inside. and IL was then that the
wrinkles appeared in the bark--those
ridges which later were to give birth
ia our ranges Of mountains.
But nothing in nature is made with

Just what might be drawn from the
sketch made by Green to explain the
theory of volcanoes and earthquakes.
A few lines will suffice to make the
reader understand the hypothesis.
The earth is round, of that there Is
no doubt; its rotary movement has
swollen it at the equator and lattened
1t at the poles. Such is the general
formula which has now become clas-
sic. But its volume diminishing from
the effects of cooling, the earth has
reached the condition of balloon
from which the gas is escaping little
by little. It is tending toward the
shape of pyramid with four faces
and four apexes.
The Terrestrial Globe.
Examine terrestrial globe. Three
of the faces are represented by de-
pressions-the hollow of the Pacific,
the Atlantic ocean and the Indian
ocean. To these depths correspond
over the sixtieth parallel north three
of the apexes of our pyramid, which
became prominent very early, as the
vast layers of primeval rocks bear wit
ness. These are the Canadian height,
that of the Baltic and that of Siberia,
the center Of which is found not far
from Irkutsk. From these three apexes
radiate, like continental backbones.
branches which, with more or less In
terruption, continue to the South Pole.
Since the voyage of hansen we have
known that the fourth face of the
pyramid can be placed In the great
Arctic basin, while the Antarctic con-
tinent forms the fourth apex Of our
pyramid.
1t Is around these ridges and these
apexes, which have remained stable
throughout the great geological peri
DDS and have formed, so to speak, the
skeleton of the dry land, that what
may be called the slow revolutions of
the globe will continue to take place.
All the general phenomena of the sur
face of the earth can be explained by
three species of movements:
1. Each face Of the pyramid in its
center follows the core in its con-
traction. Thus, 1t is sinking move
ment which has formed the great de-
pressions of the oceans.
2. At the edges of the faces, that
is to say, round about the ridges, we
find lateral compressions of the crust.

New York's Probable Fate.
And what Of New York? The geol-
ogists tell us that the city lies on the
edge OF an enormous fault, the Pail
sades Of the Hudson having been thrown
up by some giant organism OF nature
while the land to the east Of them
dropped. the actual line of breakage
being the bed of the Hudson. Any
further shock at this point would In
tensify this life Of the Palisades and
this drop of the land to the east Of
them, so the prospect is that some day

But this is not all. You may have
noticed that the three great ridges of
