An open fire burned duly in the

the bundle of letters TO the flames.
She watched grimly until there was
nothing left of them save few gray
white ashes.
Then from another drawer she took
out another bundle Of letters. They
were thick letters, all of them. The
sprawling superscriptions were all for
Peggy, and they were postmarked with
the name of the Spanish town in Ecua-
der.
Other itching Roman palms had been

Predicting EARTHQUAKES.

Professor Frank A. Perret thinks
that volcanic eruptions and earth
|quakes can be foretold by study of
the planetary system. At certain times
he holds, the sun and moon are so
situated as to exert a peculiar force
upon the earth, having a tendency to
change its spherical shape to that of
an ellipse. While this change does not
take place. owing to the resistance ell
countered in the structural character
of the earth, a condition of stress is
produced, causing widening contract.
ing of assures in the earth's surface.
Volcanic eruption then takes place, the
contracting of the assures acting upon
local conditions beneath the earth
surface in manner to be compared
with the movement of trigger in dis
charging gun.
While earthquakes may be predicted
in the same way as volcanic eruptions,
a knowledge of local conditions enter
ing into the subject of earthquakes re-
quires more time and study, and Pro-
fessor Perret has never undertaken to
designate the area to be effected by
an earthquake, so his latest predic-
ton is attended by uncertainty in this
regard, although experience has taught
that earthquakes near together in
time are likely to occur in, the same
general region.
AS local conditions decide this point.
the knowledge possessed by investiga-
tors is insufficient, it seems. to enable
them to name the area that will be
affected by predicted shock, hence
such a prediction is robbed of much
|of its practical value. We have
learned that some localities are es-
pecially, liable to earthquakes. but it
is quite impossible to say what place
may not be affected thus in the future
Evidently the pressure is greater in
the equatorial regions, other things be-
ing equal, but local conditions that are
to large extent unknown to scientists
make the subject complex.
Enough has been advanced. however.
in support of this theory of seismic
phenomena to make it very interesting.

Hopkins the Undesirable.

United States Senator Albert j. Hop.
kins has come hurriedly to Illinois to
demand of the Illinois general assem-
bly, that that body of lawmakers re-
elect him to the United States senate
TO succeed himself.
The candidacy of Hopkins for the
United States senate is remarkable.
1t represents an oversight at the polls
at the fall primary. Had Foss been
in the race just long enough for the
people to have recognized the fact that
there was really a vote of significance
to be taken upon the United States
senatorship, Hopkins would have been
out-voted. AS it was, with Foss in
the race only short time, Hopkins
just did get plurality of the "advis-
DRY" vote and that was all Many
counties and many districts went
strongly against Hopkins. Hopkins

But the Hopkins machine of postmas-

advantage of the apathy of the people
relative to the new adventure of an

out enough votes for the Aurora man
to count him the advisory choice. So
Hopkins comes to the Illinois general
assembly demanding that the legisla-
tors elect him because he is the "peo-
pies choice
