FACTS ABOUT MOTHER EARTH.
Points of Interest Concerning This
Wonderful Globe, as Vouched
for by Scientists.

Our dear old earth which seems
immovable and solid as we go about
our daily work or travel over its fur
rowed surface, is yet spinning, and
rolling, and swaying in complex but
orderly motion. Its aXial rotation
gives US day and night Its circuit
round the sun brings the seasons and
the year. The circling of the poles
produces the procession of the equi-
noxes. The planets perturb in its
courses. The plain of its orbit sways
up and down, and its periheliOn is
slowly shifted The moon swings it
around a center Of gravity common
to both, while the sun and all cur sys-
TEN speeds onward to some far distant
goal. And if the 9righ( star in the
Taurus is the central point round
which this vast orbit sweeps then Al
cyona is the center of the universe
for US.
AS far as astronomers can judge
this motion through the vast abyss of
intersteller space is at the rate of
about a million miles a day, and it is
in the direction of the constellation
Hercules The motion through space
is believed to be away from Argus
and toward Hercules. Some have
thought that AlcyOna in the Pleiades
is somewhere near the center of the
vast circuit swept over by the sun
and his attendant worlds. If this IS

becomes of SURPRISING interest to
mankind.

Strength of Early Impressions.

Grown people have in general a
very inadequate idea of the suscepti-
bility of little children. AS a little
tree is easily warped from its true
shape, so is the heart and the mind of
a little child.
Said Froebel: I'll pierce the young
leaf of the shoot of a plant with the
finest needle, the prick forms knot
which grows with the leaf, becomes
harder and harder, and prevents it
from obtaining its perfectly complete
form. Something similar takes place
after wounds which touch the tender
germ Of the human soul. 1t would
have been far different with humanity
if every individual in it had been pro-
tected at that tender age"

PRESIDENT AT GLACIER POINT
Hotel He stopped at Was a Little
Rough-BOard Affair
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
Glacier Point, Cal, Oct. 9.-The
hotel here at which the president
stopped last night was but little
rough-board affair, set right at the
brink of a high cliff overlooking
the valley. The presidential suite,
one room without plaster or other
evidence of luxury, directly over
looked the valley In coming to
Glacier Point yesterday afternoon
the president arrived at the brink
of the chasm just in time to catch
a beautiful effect of the sunset.
On the train today the presidents
party passed through patches of
snow President Taft and his party
were met by coaches and taken to
Sentinel Hotel where luncheon was
served. A sixteen mile drive was
required to take the president out
of the park this afternoon to the
little railway station at Ell Portal,
where he will board the train to-
morrow morning. tremendous bon
fire built on an overhanging rock
was lighted in honor of the presi-
dent soon after his arrival last night
and was visible for miles up and
down the valley

pecaxina Newspaper Files.

Newspaper files are giving librari-
ans no little anxiety. For the last
two decades or so the daily journals
have all been printed on wOod-pulp
paper, which is not of durable quality.
In course of time the files become as
brittle as dry, thin pine shavings. It
is suggested by some students and Ii
brarians that the greater journals, at
least, print a few copies daily, after
their regular editions are run of, +"
on paper of the old-fashioned, everlast-
ing sort, enough to insure the perma-
nency of their own files, and supply
ing other copies to the libraries O:
their home cities.

Does any one think longingly of
our harried and driven rich as the
leisure class?" Far from it are they.
Dashing hither and yon from dawn
to dawn every day in the year, at the
call of emulation, none has less leis-
ure than they. To see the real leis-
ure classes of America visit Central
park. There, on the benches and on
the grass, you will see them-nurse-
maids, sitting perfectly idle for hours
while baby sleeps in his cab or frol-
les on the grass; grandma or grand
pa keeping idle guard over the third,
or even the fourth generation, and
miscellaneous collection Of buns,
stretched out wherever they can be
most comfortable and caring not a
whit that the world moves so long as
they do not have to. They under
stand the real thing in leisure.-New

OKLAHOMA TOWN
LOT PROBE OPENS
Predicted That Prominent Men
VIII Be Indicted.

Muskogee, Okla, Jan. Especial
interest attaches to the sitting of the
federal grand jury here to investigate
the alleged town lot frauds by reason
of the implication of the governor,
Charles N. Haskell, in, the investiga-
ton. He, in turn, declares the entire
matter is due to the enmity of Will
lam H. Hearst. This ratification of
the case is an echo of the presiden-
tial campaign of<1ast year. Z"
In the years 1900 and 1901 a large
number of lots were disposed of to
purchasers, who registered their
names with the movement in much
the same manner as when land Is
"homesteaded." Federal authorities
now claim that, INSCRIPTIONS men
scheduled the names of a number of
dummies" and thus obtained titles
to a number of lots when they were
entitled to but one. About two hun
dred and fifty persons whose names
are said to have. been used in this
manner are now here, having been
subpoenaed by the government from
Texas, Ohio, West Virginia, FTennes-
see, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Missouri,
Virginia and Arkansas, They are ex-
pected to testify as to what part they
had in the registering of their names
in applying for land.
It is confidently expected by many
that several men high up" in local
affairs will be hit by the investiga.
