Dangerous To Laugh At.
he Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
 Edward H. R. Green, the noted young capitalist and statesman of Texas, and son of the equally noted Mrs. Hetty Green. said in New York recently apropos of the Wright aeroplane he was buying:
 q was the first Texan to own an auto and now I am the first to own an aero plane. Of this distinction I am proud.
 Some people laughed at the first autos They laughed at the first aeroplanes Such people. retard the wheels of pro- gress and sometimes they are crushed under the wheels.
 Such people remind we of an empty headed duke who said to Thomas Car lyle at a dinner:
 "'rhe British people, sir, can afford to laugh at theories.
 Carlyle, scowling at the duke, repiied
 " The French nobility of hundred years ago thought that they could af- ford to laugh at theories. too. But a man came and wrote book called "The Social Contract" This man was Jean Jacques Rousseau and his book was g. theory and nothing but theory. The nobles could laugh at this theory, but their skins went to bind the second edi- ton of the hook '

Why We Arc Not Polygamous.

From the Detroit Free Press
 Judge Mary H. Cooper of Beloit, Kan, is the only woman probate judge in the United States. She performs more mar is because she always omits the word obey from the ceremony-an omission that pleases the Kansas girls.
 Judge Cooper believes in the capable and strong woman-she thinks that the day of the clinging, helpless woman is past She said in a recent interview:
 "In the strong and independent wo- mans hands, in the fighting woman's hands, our sex's future rests. There is moro than a little truth in anepisode that g. Chinese missionary once related to me.
 This missionary was taking tea with mandartn's eight wives-she was, of course, female missionary. The Chin csc women examined her clothing, her hair, her teeth and so on, but her feet especially amazed them.
 "'why.' one cried, you can walk and run as well as a man.
 "'Yes, to be sure.' said the mission ary.
 "'can you ride horse, and swim. tooT
 'Yes.'
 "'Then you must be as strong as manr

Mines And Buried Discovered

The mineral wealth of the South has hardly been scratched. Untold millions in gold, silver, iron and copper mines await the fortunate man or men who discover their true location.
 A wonderful instrument called the Span- ish Magnetic Needle has recently been perfected, which has been used with wonderful accuracy in discovering both mines and treasures. The needle has in- terohangeable parts designed for use to indicate the particular mineral sought for. Lost and buried treasures of money, gold and silver, are located. Successful miners and prospectors use these needles. but in the past they have been very diff fcult to obtain. We understand, however. that the Prospectors and Miners Agency of Palmyra, Pa. handle a complete line of these needles and other mineral rods and would be glad to correspond with any one interested in the subject They is- sue a large catalogue which will be mailed free to anyone writing them.

CORBETT TELLS HOW HE
 LOST TO FITZSIMMONS

"As the glove crashes to its goal all the breath leaves my body. Down I sink with groan.
 Now, if the altitude had not been so great, could have recovered in 10 sec- onds, but We were fighting between 6000 and 1000 feet above the sea level where, If you ran 20 yards, you had to sit down to get your breath. If I could have risen, l could have fallen down again, and so obtained another 10 seconds grace. But l was like a man paralyzed. I could use my hands, but not my feet.
 During this awful struggle my breath was coming back. But alas! I had been counted out. Corbett was no longer the worlds champion but in his stead reigned Bob Fitzsimmons.
 Rushing at Fitz, I-well, although he had won, knocked him down. am sor- ry for it even to this day.
 He had hurried out of the ring. and, after had cooled down, I realized that had lost the fight honestly and squarely. Then I thought of this mans wonderful gameness-this man with the heart of a lion, to whom I had given the hardest punching I had ever given to any man. The more I pondered, the more I ad- mlred.
 Now perhaps you will think it a little strange my writing like this; and, really, 1t seems just as strange to myself. If Fitzsimmons was not such a wonderful man I should not feel so talkative; but when you lose to one of the greatest fight CTS who ever lived-well, defeat has compensations.
 "The blow which deprived me of the worlds championship was an ordinary body blow; but FTtz had tremendous force behind it. and some newspaper man asked famous doctor to describe it, as the rumor went round at the time that I had died from the punch.
 "The doctor said I had been hit in the solar plexus. A lot of people had never heard of this before-T myself had not.
 ''It fig right at the nit of the stomach, at the end of the ''- stbone. and 1t be- came famous from th't day forth.'

 Conditions in the Arkansas fields are more promising than ever before. At one point $40 diamonds were found, of which 5O5 weighed PIT karats. Three stones which were cut proved to be worth from s6O to s175 a karat These values are said to compare favorably with those of South African diamonds.
 The other states in which prospecting is now being conducted are California and Kentucky, and small diamonds are said to have been found in both.

WHITNEY RETURNS AND
C0RR0B0RATEs COOKS STORY
Knew of Peary's Use of Cooks Sup.
plies and the Stories Told by Cook
When He Came Out Of the Far
North.

Bar Harbor. Me-, Sept. 2S-Com-
mander Robert E. Peary and General
Thomas H. Hubbard, president of the
Peary Arctic club, were in conference
today over the Peary proofs to show
that DR.. Cook did not reach the North
Pole. 1t was said that the confer
ence would probably continue all day,
Commander Peary is anxious to make
full statement of the whole matter.
but this will hardly be done until the
officers of the Peary Arctic club have
passed on the statement.
The proofs which Commander
Peary will offer are of various char
acters, some of which in a court of
law would be described as direct evi-
dence, while other proofs depend en-
tirely on deductions from certain CIV
EN- facts. The equipment of the ex-
pedition of DR.. Cook will be described
in detail and with the alleged accom-
plishment in travelling to the pole and
return will be compared the work Of
each expedition of Peary and other
arctic explorers. DR.. Cooks expert
ence with arctic expeditions and his
method of keeping records and his
disposition of them in part to Whit
ney stranger to him will play no
small part in Commander Peary's
statement. 1t is the combination of
circumstances and the faith which in
their strength Commander Peary be-
lieves will cut the ground from under
DR.. Cooks claim. Commander Peary
and his wife may not return to Port
land before tomorrow. il

PREDICTS DISASTER
Scientist. Believes Sicily Will Again
Have Seismic Disturbances.

Messina. Sept 2S.-Frank A. Perret,
the American volcanologist. who ar
rived here today. believes from his
scientific deductions that this part of
Sicily will again be the scene of seis-
mic disturbances.
Mr.. Perret said: Wednesday, Sep
tember is the date most favorable
for earthquakes or eruptions. At that
time the sun, earth and moon are in
line with each other and the moon
also is at it's nearest approach to the
earth. This combination occurs fire.
quently. tending to produce gravita-
tional distortion of the earth's form,
namely, to change the earth from a
sphere to an ellipse. This extra strain
often acts upon the weak spots in
the earth's crust, causing them to give
way and thus producing earthquakes
or volcanic eruptions.
"On Wednesday it happens that the
planet Mars" also is nearest to the
earth and also directly in line with
the earth, sun and moon. while Saturn
is not far from the same line. Jupi-
ter, although far on the other side of
the sun, is also in a line with the
earth. 1t is true that the effect of
these planets is very much less than
that of the sun and the moon, but
when their effect is added the strain
will be greater than usual.
"Thus l consider that Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday will be very
dangerous. Possibly nothing very
special will occur, but this will sim
ply mean that the earth has resisted
the danger that nevertheless existed. -

New York. Sept. 2s.-The center of
the Hudson Fulton festivities today
was the route chosen for historical
pageant OF commemorative floats. 1t
comprises Central park and Fifth
avenue, extending almost in sartight
line, with slight elbow of Fifty
ninth street, from One Hundred and
Tenth street to Fourth street at the
foot Of Washington square.
The celebration committee has at
tempted to illustrate the periods of
American history made famous by the
achievements Of Henry Hudson and
Robert Fulton. The day opened with
q drfzzling rain,, but this stopped be-
fore o'clock. Although there was a
chance that Wilbur Wright and eileen
Curtiss might make brief trial flights
over the Governors Island, the sight
seers were too much occupied with
the street display to flock to the bat
terry, as they did yesterday when
these flights were the only out door
features Of the celebration to be ex-
pected. It was announced, however.
that II the aviators flew at all, their
most spectacular efforts would not
occur until tomorrow.

QUEBEC DECIDES
ON PULP EMBARGO
Take Action in View of Dis
elimination in the United
States Tariff

Quebec, Sept. 2S.-The province of
Quebec has definitely decided to pro-
hibit the export..;.on of pulp wood cut
from crown lands. In September, 1900,
Premier Golin made ~ omise that
tie stumpage rates of 60 cents per
cord on wood cutm fro crown lands
would not be raised for period of
ten years. 1t is intended to carry out
that pledge and no increase in stump
age charges will be made until Sep
tember, 1910.
The Canadian paper makers are urg-
ing the provincial authorities to stop
the expectation of pulp wood cut from
crown lands, but the American own
ers of rights to cut the timber on more
than 12.0(0 square miles of those lands
represent that the pledge of Septenl-
Der. 1900, Il. )lied right of importa-
tion for ten years and that in good
faith no prohibition should be made
until the lapse of the period.
The Canadian paper and pulp inter-
ests retort that the pledge specifically
related to stumpage taxes, not to ex-
portation, and that the extension of
that privilege to American owners for
another year will retard Canadian
plans and scriminate against Can
adian manufacturers who now suffer
because of the retaliatory clauses of
the United States tariff on print pa
per.
The provincial authorities are bal
ancing the question whether they
should prohibit the expectation OF
pulp wood on January 1, 1910. or Sep
tember 1. 1910. They calculated that
their new policy will add over $780,
600 per ann m in revenues. They are
informed that the interests controlling
the Berlin mills property in New
Hampshire are planning to install a
print paper mill at La Toque. Quebec
and that the International Paper com.
pany has prepared plans for numer.
Gus locations for paper mills in Can.
ada, that company having stopped the
