 M. Cruppi. former minister of com merce, who favors active French com merical expansion in this book quotes Senator Aldrich as saying that Presi- dent Taft's interpretation of undue discrimination" did not mean that France must necessarily grant all her minimums. but only that the treat ment of American products must be reciprocaly just and reasonable" and that naturally 1t was expected that France would give the United States the same treatment as other active competitors in the matter of French trade.
 M Cruppi adds that Senator Ald- richs conciliatory assurances are ex- tremely welcome but that after all France must first consider her own in- terests. He insists that industrial and commercial development are now pri- mary importance to every country and warns France that if these questions continue to be politically eclipsed. as heretofore by social questions. France will soon fall into the fourth rank.
 M. Cruppi contends that the policy of negotiation is the commercial pol icy of the future and expresses re- gret that the United States in her "splendid isolation" snaps her fingers at the world.

William K. Morrison GaUe
 His Home for Public Library

when the will of the late Colonel William R. Morrison, for many years . figure in notiona1 politics, was read 1t was found that he had left his beautiful home to the citizens of Waterloo for public library. says . Waterloo. ILL, dispatch. His big collection of books was also given to the city for the library.
 Morrison was at one time mentioned as possible candidate for pres ident on the Democratic ticket. and he was among the first to take Q stand against the system of relating by the railroads. His ancestors came from Bucks County. Pa.
 Colonel Morrison'sS political career began with his election to the office of circuit clerk of Monroe county. Illinois. in 1s52. Two years later he was elected as representative in the Legislature of his state. where. after several years, he became, Speaker of the House. In November. 1872. he was elected as representative to Con- gress.
 Being defeated for Congress in 1887 by the Republican candidate, Hon Jehu Baker, of Belleville. he was appointed by President Cleveland to the Interstate Commerce Commission. of which he was a member for elev- en years As a member of this com mission he led the war against rebat- ing and against railroad corruption and extortion. Very few people have

the honor of being elected for such a long period of time, he having been in office thirty-eight years. and only once defeated.
 Colonel Morrison fought in two wars. In 1s4s, when he was 22 years oid.the Mexican war broke out. ami he was one of the first to enlist. and assisted in raising . company for Coloned Bissell. He served through this war under General Taylor, and distinguished himself fin the battle of Buena Vista
 When the Civil War broke out he organized the celebrated Forty-Ninth Illinois regiment. organized in this (Monroe) county in 1861, which reg tment he commanded.
 In the early spring of 1892. when the lea iers of the Democratic party could obtain no answer from Grover Cleveland as to whether or not he would be a candidate for the pres- idency again. Colonel Morrison called upon Mir. Cleveland at his home at Lakewood. N. J., to ascertain if pos- sible something definite from MT. Cleveland. Cleveland's reply to Col onel Morrison's inquiry as to his can- dfdacy was, T am In the hands of my friends" Later Cleveland was renominated. tt
 Morrison's advice to young men was not to enter politics. At one time Morrison was boomed by his friends for the United States Senate. and was defeated by only one vote.

incredibility.
 Among the Arabs the professional story-teller is stiil in business. as he was in Sinbad's time. He stands in the market place with a crowd around him. and tells stories, as marvellous as he can fake them. by borrowing all he can from books or other story tellers. and adding to 1t as much as he can. Because of this habit. in many countries. such stories as those of Sinbad are studied seriously. By studying a large number of them, a good view is got how every fiction begins in facts of some kind.
 As a fact, Sinbad is now connect ing not only with North Pode dis covery. but with .airships. The Arabs of his time wanted nothing else SO much as they did to sail the air, to find out all the mysteries of the earth. According to their professional story tellers invented flying horses. and "rocs.' The roc in Sinbad and other stories was a bird large enough to carry off an elephant. In the earliest successes of aerial navigation a roc with seat swung between his legs by silken cords easily passed the best Zeppelin records for speed and iiri- gibility.
 The old Greek invention of what was even then thought the impossi- ble, invented the flying man with the wings of his own. The Arab imag- ination demands some means of rid Ing through the air. It is hard to ind in the oldest fiction anything the imagination can invent in answer to strong demand. which the mind does not keep working at through centuries. until it gets 1t as a fact.

the Sailor, Was tn
 Old Times. Real Dr. Cook

When the list of great explorers who have discovered almost every thing between the poles is now
 brought up to date, so as to include Shackieton, Cook and Peary. 1t is a surprise to find that the name of Sin bad. the Sailor. is included in 1t by reliable authorities. As his voyages belong to the Arabian Nights. he is immortal at his own expense.
 In fact. he was one of the great navigators of his day. Baron walck- enaier locates him about the middle of the ninth century. when. before the beginning of modern civilization In Northern Europe, the Arabs were the most learned people left in the world. Their great navtgators, Sulai- man and Sinbad, wished to discover the unknown world by sailing through the Indian Ocean to solve the myster- les now plain to all who visit Java, the Philippines, Japan and China.
 How Sinbad comes to be remem- bered vwhen the even more successful Sulaiman Is forgotten may be easily explained. Probably he had the gift of .1iterary embeilishment.' That is. without being liar, he may have reported his voyages in the general style of e modern magazine article, using word pictures. instead of photo- engravings. If he wrote a book. we may yet find the original manuscript in some out-of-the-way place, now that everything in Asia is being prie,l Into by expeditions from our colleges. As his voyages are part of the Arab isn sha Nights, lights they prove nothing more fancy. of professional story-tellers, who fmmortalized him in the same class with Baron Munchausen, but

Denver, the bones of many strange animals are found deep down in the rocks where they must have lain for ages. Some of them belong to an- imals of Asia and Africa.
 This is shown to be 6 fact when all such bones are collected, sorted and compared with the bones of ani- mals now living in all countries. Shells from rocks in the West are compared with shells from the rocks all over the world in the same way. The rocks themselves are compared. How they lie in different parts of the world Is found out. The tracks left by animals in mud which is now stone are compared. Nothing in the book of the earth is too small or too great to be left out when thousands of peo- pie are now training themselves to read it.
 It can be seen that at ather times It was lifted up or that 1t went through other changes. It is almost certain that North America was once joined to Asia os if the Tong ago" were only a few years or a hundred years before we were born. By what IS learned In this way we may make a fairly good map of the country now as the country was a million years ago. When we learn more we may make a. better one. The great thing Is that we can learn to read the book of the earth in ways that will make It's meaning plain.

ONCE A PART OF ASIA
GOVERNMENT MAP SHOWS GEOLOGICAL AGE
 WHICH THE UNITED ST ATEs WAS A PART OF THE ASIATIC CONTINENT.

Bailey Willis has made a. map of the United States when North Ameri- can was joined to the United Asia. The Government has published this map and several others of the same kind. All are intended to show the country hundreds of thousands of millions of years ago. People in Missouri, Kansas. Texts, Iowa and ev- cry state between St. Louis and the Pacific ocean are working to find how far such maps of the West are right and If they are not right, how can 1t be proved they are wrong?
 They are called photographic maps." This is intended to mean maps of the country long ago The Greek word may mean a million years ago. Long ago" to us mn mean any year before we learned to talk well enough to understand from others what took place before we were born. There was '2ong ago" before there were men on earth. Paleology means de- scribing this long. ago." To do this we must read the earth itself as if 1t were a book.
 Anyone can learn this now who wishes. Ills easier now because so much of the book of the earth has been put together that 1t will explain itself.

LOOK OUT FOR swINDLERs.

Adroit Gang of Spaniards is at work.
 Washington, Oct. 20.--After pe- rfod of quiescence an adroit gang or Spanish swindlers which has for she last fifteen years been exploiting cred ulous people in America, has resumed activity.
 Within the last few days letters have been received in Washington delicate 1y approaching the recipients for funds. While the Scheme is many-sided and the details vary in each case. the basis of appeal Is always an injured damsel in distress. Large sums of mon.y are promised to the confiding American who will put up a small amount of cash to rescue the unfortunate young woman.
 In one case the alleged writer of the letter was a Spanish banker who had embezzled the banks hoard and escaped to Russia. only to be arrested and re- turned to Spain. He, however, had taken the precaution to secret doc ument which would be indispensable 10 the finding of the treasure in secret pocket in a portmanteau, andtfhis Su1d he would divide with tSs American. who would take in charge his young daughter and recover the property at ythe place he would indicate--for a present financial consideration.
 In another case the alleged writer and prisoner in a Spanish prf5on was there because implicated in the great Banana Canal frauds"
 He also had secreted much treasure. the results of his steaiings. a portion of which he was willing to bestow up- on the recipient. with whom the writer claimed relationship. provided the lat ter would convey to America the writ er's beautiful young daughter, then In the care of faithful old priest, wbo could not be trusted with the secrot of the embezzlement.
 It is known to the State and ?ostof- flee Departments that number of credulous Americans have fallen into this trap. so that every effort will he made to break up the gang.
