JUST TO SHOW CRITICS
President Rides Ninety-eight Miles on
Horseback in One Day.

Washington, Jan. 14.-President
Roosevelt rode ninety-eight miles on
horseback and when he dismounted
at the White House door, more than
seventeen hours after having depart
ed therefrom, he did not show any
marked signs of WEAKNESS. The OBJ
iect Of his long day in the saddle, he
explained after his return, was to
"prove to the critics who have found
fault with the recent order ordering
all army and navy officers to take a
physical test, that if a president, who
is not in training, can ride ninety
miles plus in one day without being
laid in bed thereby, it should not be
too much to ask the men who are
supposed to be in the best physical
training all the time to ride ninety
miles in three days"
In less than an hour after return.

Include areas where the earthquake was
respectively strong. mediocre and slight
Intensity Was Centralized.
The intensity OF the earthquake. which
had as its centrum the Strait Of Messina
and a direction from northeast to south
west, rapidly diminished outside the central
isoseismic area Prof. Ricco Is convinced
that it was OF exclusive tectonic origin, and
he says that its direction was identical with
the geological structure Of the Strait Of
Messina. which extends in q northeasteriy
direction through all the strata dow TO
the primitive crystalline rocks.
The tidal wave thai accompanied the
earthquake struck the western and south
ern coasts OF Calabria from the extremity
OF Calabria to Gerace. and in Sicily from
Termini Imerese TO Syracuse The wave
was from nine to eighteen feet high.
The economist, Signor Nitti, a member Of
the Italian Parliament. has attempted to
measure in a general way, but on a scien-
tific basis. the loss resulting to the country
from the earthquake.
Signor Nitt reckons the wealth OF
Messlna at s172, 10000 and that of Reggie
at s1oooOo.00 BY wealth he means every
| thing that has value-lands. houses, money
and movable property.
In calculating the loss OF wealth he dis
tinguishes lost by the state from that lost
by private individuals. The state has not
been a heavy loser. The land in the dis
trict has suffered a great depreciation, but
this does not constitute a loss to the state.
as despite the depression in trade due TO
the falling off in the expectation Of agri-
cultural products both in Sicily and in
CaIabria. the value OF land had increased
out of proportion as a result OF emigra-
ton.
Returned EmIgrants HIT.
calabria and Sicily have for many years
past furnished a great contingent Of the
emisFants TO America, in fact some pro-
vlnces. especially Reggie, Cstona, canni-
telio. Bagnara ana Santa Eufemia, were
practically d~epopulated. The ideal OF all
emigrants was TO make enough money
abroad 10 enable them 20 return and live
on it the rest Of their lives. All bought
land on their return and built houses.
The Inevitable result was that the value
OF land increased considerably, and this
increase was artificial. as IL did not benefit
trade. Now the loss resulting from houses
being destroyed by the earthquake is felt
By the owners and not by the state. The
state lost the income derived from land
taxes.
The total amount Of capital invested in
buildings at Messina is calculated at about
Ss.ooo.OO0. at Reggie at 100000, and the
greatest portion OF this capital is irrev-
ocably lost. As regards the loss OF NOV
able property this is also subdivided be-

In the case OF the survivors in Calabria
and Sicily. many of whom are still wear
ing military overeoats. the fact 10 ex-
planned as follows: A naval officer who
is in charge of the distribution OF clothes
reported to headquarters that the women
refused to accept any colored garments
and insisted on having black.
I'VE are all in mourning here" they
say. land cannot wear cOlored clothes. As
the army overcoats are dark blue they can
not be substituted for black. but it would
be an insult TO our dead II we wore light
clothing
A peasant woman in Calabria refused
some cotton sheets. as she said she was
accustomed to sleep between linen.
The refugees are not so exacting. They
generally take Is given them, but they
invariably complain that 1t is not enough.
The committees in the principal towns
where clothes are distributed are obliged
to watch the refugees very carefully. as
they have often found one woman wearing
enough clothing for a whole family. A
woman in Rome had no less than seven
undergarments Of the same kind on her,
besides four skirts. and when ~reproached
she calmly answered that they were all
given to her, forced on her, rather. and
sch had not the heart to refuse them.
II am wearing them ALL" she added, las
1t is easier than carrying them in a bun
die"
F~ataIIstie Taint is Present.
The fatalistic frame of mind in which
the majority OF the earthquake survivors
are content to remain is the subject Of
bitter lament on the part of the Rome cor
respondent OF the Milan Secolo. None Of
the refugees. he writes, wants to work. A
typical case is that Of a doctor Of Aessina.

tive practice was waiting for him he re-
fused the offer.

ing for the distribution OF the millions sub
scrlbed by the public.
Those millions are a veritabie obsession
with all Of the refugees. They greedily
watch the figures rise and they all know
the latest figures as soon as they are made
public, They all dream OF . le~isurely ex-
istence, without any necessity of a thought
fo- the morrow.
They never think Of doing their share
in the restoration OF the ruined cities.

military rule meant to be adopted in a
conquered country, not a dead one, crushed
the survivors and drove away every human
sentiment and feeling from them. They
were dead to all intents and purposes. All
the efforts made to help them were useless.
Fierce Fighting for Foo
They fought over their food like animals.
The prohibition to recover their dead or
search for their missing relatives exas-
persted them; the order to evacuate the
ruined city drove them to fury. Signor
Michel compares the state of the earth
quake survivors at Messina to TO that OF a
tree shattered by a storm. its leaves scat
tered far. its branches broken, but its roots
stili clinging to the soil. The tree is not
dead. and II left by itself gradually under
the action of the sun will put forth new
leaves and slowly but surely live again

suffered by private individuals.
The wealth OF Reggie and Messina was
not so considerable as was at first mag
ined. The money invested in state bonds
Is not lost. as even IL the bonds were pay
able to bearer, and the bearer is dead, the
capital invested which becomes the prop
erty OF the state is to be used on behalf Of
the survivors. especially orphans. The
money lost either in coin or notes does not
constitute a loss to the state either.
The real loss consists in furniture, house
hold goods. valuables and Jewels, a great
portion OF which have been stolen and hence
were not destroyed. but changed hands.
Signor Nitti does not consider the loss sus-
tained by insurance companies as very
great. at least not as regards Italy, since
the majority Of these companies were
foreign.
Another great loss is that of the trade,
which can never be measured, even APP

proximately. But the greatest loss OF all,
a loss which escapes all calculations OF
measurements, is thai OF life. The valus
Of human life is but an empty expression
when applied to so.oOO persons killed in the
space Of a half a minute.

ROME. Feb. 2-Prof. Ricco. director OF
the Esna observatory and one Of the lead
ing selsmolosists IN Italy. recently explored
the earthquake area. and he has prepared
the accompanying chart. which gives an
approximate idea OF tho intensity and ex-
tent OF both the earthquake and the tidal
wave OF December q.
The chart shows the isoseismic lines
marking the different areas where the
disturbances on the earth's surface had
an equal intensity. The Mercam scale. so
called after it's inventor. which is divided
into ten grades. is used TO show the in
sensity OF the shocks in each section.
The line of the utmost intensity. marked

Of life and property was complete. Within
It are Messina and Reggio and the smaller
towns and villages on each side OF the
strait The area il includes has roughly
speaking a diameter Of about forty kilo-
meters. and is more or less Of an eliipticai
shape.

form Of butter, cream, milk or buttermuk.
1t is handled by the most modern methods
with machinery which is sterilized and

Each can of milk is tested to see that
1t comes up to the requirements Of rich
ness, purity and flavor-if il does not il is
returned to the farmer. II a can OF milk
passes the test IL is poured through
a strainer into a conductor and car

thoroughly stirred to insure a uniform
grade for all milk. These watts hold
600 gallons. and when one housewife
thinks her neighbor is getting richer milk
than she does. she Is mistaken, for 1t all
comes from the same vat.
From this vat the milk is forced
through a filter in order that any impuri-
ties may be taken out. This is lone as an
extra precaution, for the Atlantic requires
clean milk from the farmers who supply
the milk,
After passing through the filter the milk
is pasteurized. which is nothing more or
less han heating 1t to l6o degrees and then
cooling by running over pipes through
which cold brine is passed. Many think
that the pasteurization process consists OF
putting in some foreign substance, but that
is not the case. as ii is simply heating the
milk to kiln any possible germs or bacteria,

Officers OF the Atlantic point with pride
to the fact thst although several epidemicS

Of milk. not one case can be traced to
Atlantic milk.
Cleanliness is followed in all parts Of the
plant, and the public is cordially invited TO

and sterilized. a case at a time. under high
pressure, and inspected after they come
out. They are carried to the cleanse direct
from the wagon by a conveyor and after

CT milk from the farmer to the consumer,
through the medium Of the Atlantic, would
socn convince the most sceptical that no
method for greater purity could be devised.
The source Of the milk is first looked
after. Farmers who supply this milk are
all bound by ironclad contracts which
guard against a chance for impure milk.
a few Of the provisions set forth in the
contract are: That the barns where the
cattle are kept must be whitewashed; that
the dairy barn must be separate; that II an
employe OF the farm is sick the Alamito
must be notified; that the farmer must be
careful of his feed for the cattle; that the
company reserves the right to throw out

surgeon to examine the COW. The require

which is sold in Omaha should contain 3

tracts require from 81 to 4 per cent from
their patrons. The milk Is hauled from
