SHARING THE CHINESE LOAN.

SHARING THE CHINESE LOAN.
The participation by American
bankers in the railroad loan which
China is to issue in the near future
r. a matter OF the utmost Importance.
II Is announced that the amount or
the loan has been increased from
twenty-seven million five hundred
thousand dollars to thirty millions
OF dollars and that American bank
ers will be allowed to take one-fourth
OF this amount, while the remaining
three-quarters are distributed among
France. Great Britain and Germany.
American interests will have an
equal chance to bid on the materials
for the new railroad and everybody
knows what that means. When
American bidders go into the open
market, with a fair chance, they
almost invariably win out over all
competitors.
There is no country in the world
which has a livelier interest in the
future development OF the Industrial
aud commercial possibilities OF
China THAI has the United States
and We Of the south are especially
interested. Our large exports of cot
ton goods to that country do much
to keep our factories going. and
when the Panama canal is opened
this business will be still further in
creased.
Our participation in the new loan
and our voice in the management OF
the new railroad win be OF the high
est possible Importance to the bus
mess interests OF this country.

Do Sun and Moon Help
to Crack the Earth?

, BY Prof. Frank A. Perret, Seis-
, mic Expert.
, When the sun and the moon are
, in certain positions, the astronomi-
, cal influences have a tendency to
, change the earth's spherical shape
, into that of an illipse. OF course
, the earth does not really become
, an ellipse, but if it were
? a liquid body it would take an
, elliptical form.
As it is the tendency to change
, from a sphere to an elIipse man
? ifests itself in a condition of stress.
This condition of stress in the
earth's surface brings about a
, widening and contracting of the
, assures in the crust of the earth.
This contracting of the assures re-
p suits in volcanic activity.
IN other words, when the sun and
moon are relatively so placed to
each other that astronomical con-
ditions are favorable, then the
earth tends 10 become an elIiptical
body. the assures contract and the
eruption of some great volcano
takes place.
We can tell to a day the date
; when such an eruption is to oc-
cur, provided the local conditions
: are in Concordance with the astro-
nornical influences.
