CANAL ZONE SHAKY.
Seismic Disturbances Revealed There
During the Month of August.

Washington, Sept. 15.-The 18TH
mian Canal Commission has receiv-
ed report from the Canal Zone on
seismic disturbances which were re-
corded on the Instruments at Ancon
observatory on August % and 80.
This was received with interest by
the scientists of the commission
headquarters and other government
departments in view Of the state
ments that have been made that tho
canal after completion is liable at
any time to destruction or material
injury on account of earthquakes
which are of frequent occurrence in
Central America. While 1t denies
that there is any substantial ground
for such a belief, the commission
nevertheless has established several
stations fully equipped with instru-
ments to record seismic disturbances
in the Canal Zone.
According to the report, on Au-
gust 2S four distinct shocks were
recorded, all of minor intensity, the
first occurring about II a. IN. and
the last at little past p. m., none
of these being accompanied by a
preliminary tremor.

MARS \ NEAR NElGHBOR.
Planet is Now Only About 35.OOO,-
600 Miles AWAY.

The planet Mars has been attract
ing the interest OF astronomers for
the past two months and will be one
OF our nearest neighbors on Septem-
ber 81. 1t will be only 35.000,000
miles from the earth. This is the
nearest distance the planet ever
comes to the earth
Su"h distance may seem conSid-
cradle TO an unastrOnomical mind.
But TO star students il is merely a
little stroll around the block. The
sun is 90.jO0,000 miles away, and
there are other bodies so remote that
trilliOn or so years are required
for one of their winks to reach us.
Sometimes even Mars wanders off to
point on the eclipse which is 23i,-
100000 miles away.
Numbers of telescopes are already
being turned upon the planet and
everybody is eager to see just how
it will look on the night OF Septem-
ber "a. Students expect then to see
the North and South Pole of Mars
and very interesting sight that will
be in view Of what has recently hap
pened on the earth. 1t is easy
enough to see these poles through a
good lense, and presumably they
look pretty much like the earth's
About once every l 3 years Mars gets
as close to us as 1t will be on Sep
tember "a.
Advices received from San Fran
cisco state that Prof Campbell and
a party of astronomers who have
returned from Mount whitney where
they spent some time watching the
planet, have secured picture Of its
surface, which proves beyond ques-
ton that Mars Is habitable by senti-
ent creatures; that Is to say, 1t Will
sustain life. The picture shows,
they say, that water vapor exists
there.

Tempered Grace Before Meat.
(New Orleans StateS.)

Fifty years ago, when Golden was
fighting in England for the overthrow
of the protective system and the re-
peal Of the corn laws, he predicted
that after the establishment of the
policy Of free trade British working
men would enjoy the luxury of hav-
ing wheat bread on their tables.
This prophecy was soon verified, and
to-day the cost Of living is cry much
less in Great Britain than in the
United States. Men who are old
enough to recall the condition of
British wOrkmen before the days of
Cobden's great reform are not among
those in England who favor a ret
turn to protective tariffs. One of
them in recent letter to the Lon
don Daily News recalls the grace
before meat" which his father fire.
quently used when everybody ate
protected bread. 1t ran as follows:
O Heavenly Father, bless us
And keep us all alive;
There are ten Of us to dinner,
And food for only five.

OCoNEE's SOLDIERS MONUMENT

Al Il meeting VI TIC lduleS Ol lnc
Oconcc Monument Association, held
last Saturday afternoon, 1t was de-
cidcd TO go ahead with the work of
erecting shaft to the memory OF
OconeC'S dead heroes Of the Confed~
erat".
This work has Jagged rcgrcttably
for years; yet the ladies who have
had in charge the funds raised for
the purpose OF suitably porpctuating
the memory Of Oconcc's Confederate
dead have never lost heart, and to-
day the funds, including accrued
Interest on the amounts loaned out,
Cicnt to accomplish the end desired.
Some time ago a handsome design
was submitted at the request Of the
ladies of this AsSoCiatiou-not an
expensive, elaborate or prctentious
affair, but Il handsome, substantial
and enduring memorial to those
whose lives were given in defense Of
their country and its principles.
This monument will cost about
$1,000, and it is the intention Of the
Monument Association to go ahead
at an early date, giving the contract
for its completion and erection.
They have not in hand the funds
necessary to pay for it in full, but
the designers have kindly consented
80 credit on the purchase price what
funds are raised, and wait on the
ladies Of the Association for the bal
ancc.
The monument is going to be
erected.
Now the question arises, are the
men and women of Oconcc going to
let these ladies continue to give lawn
parties, dinners, etc, to make up
the balance required to accomplish
the end, or will we contribute, each
small part, and save them this
work and modification Of having to
serve dinners and give parties to
raise funds with which to comment
crate the memory Of those who gave
thcir lives for the country whose
liberties and blessings we enjoy?
We believe that the people Of Oco-
nee will answer. the question salts
factorily.
Why should these ladies be COM
PEELED to labor longer to EARN
money for this purpose, when by al
most no effort at all we can GIVE,
each but a small amount, and raise
the needed balance?
TO this end The Courier volun-
teers to collect and receive from any
source any amounts that our people
feel disposed 10 contribute. We will
receive contributions, publish the
names q. contributors and remit

The Elephant's Revenge.

In the autobiography OF Mr.. Lindley
Murray a passage occurs from which
IL appears that one of the clearest
heads that ever engaged In the bush
ness of analysis was well nigh cracked
by simple agent for small ohehse.
ln the year 1I1l he visited Ill" ele-
plants mt the queens palace and. from
whatever motive. venlured 10 With
draw portion of the hay which one
of them had been collecting with his
probuscis on the door. The little af-
front offended the sagaciouS animal
highly. The keeper remarked that he
would never forget, and IL was obvious
frem the rapid convolutions of his
trunk that he only wanted an oppor'
tunity TO avenge the misrepresentation
OF his property on the spot. The gram
marian. however. kept out OF his way,
probably thinking no more of the mat
ter. until he CHANGED to revisit the
same place after an interval OF several
weeks. On this occasion a number OF
other persons were present. but OF the
whole the elephant singled out his en-
envy and aimed desperate blow at bis
head. which. fortunately, neither prov
ed fatal nor took effect.

Work of the EarthMorn1.

When we behold Il WIDE. turf COW
cred eXpanSe we should remember that
it's smoothneSs, on which so much OF
its beauty depends. is mainly due TO
all the inequalities having been slowly
eveled by worms. 1t Is Il marvellous
reflection that the whole of the super
fetal mold over any such eXpanse has
passed and will pass again every few
years through the bodies of worms.
The plow is one of the most ancient
and most valuable of mau's inventions.
but long before he existed the land
was. in fact. regularly piowed by earth
worms. It may he doubted whether
there are many other animals which
have played so important part in the
history of the world as have these low
" organized creatures. Some other
animals. however, still more lowly or
ganized-namely. cora ls-have done far
more conspicuous work in having con-
structed innumerable reefs and islands
in the great oceans. but these are al
most confined to the tropical zones.
