SCOPE OF SCIENCE
Prof. Willis Moore Believes 1t
Can Describe Paradise.
ADDRESS AT POST BANQUET
Annual Function Under Auspices of
ORGANIZATION of Ex-Soldiers of
Union Army.

That Paradise will be understood ano
descr' bed by science in the near future
is the belief of Prof. Willis L. Moore
chief of the United States weather
bureau, as expressed by him last night
before the veteran fighting men and theil
friends at the twenty-third annual
banquet of Burnside Post, Grand Army
Of the Republic. The surviving Indians
will learn all about their happy hunting
grounds and the war veterans will know
about the region to which their departed
comrades have preceded them.
What is Paradise. Where is it," Prof
Moore asked I'VE are now in a most
astounding age of discovery and re-
search. but we do not understand what
within the near future science will be
able to understand 1t ALL"
Prof. Moore's Talk.
The weather chief explained that winds
from the east were depressing and
caused people to become low spirited. Is
from the north invigorated, stimulated
and fired mankind. He then made an
impressive allusion to the departed COM
rades in Paradise
He described a delicate instrument at
the weather bureau called the bolo-
meter. which records one-one-hundred-
thousandth part of a degree. Put 1t on
the red bar in a flag and ii will record
one temperature. Place it on the blue, it
will record another The eye can see
only seven colors. but there are really
twenty-one. An Indian can scent the
enemy miles and miles away. These are
some of the things which convince us
that there are but few things which are
not understandable, and before long We
shall know what Paradise is.
The banquet was held at the Ebbitt
House and was marked by patriotic re-
cital and song throughout. There were
covers for $50 people. and among the
guests were several members of Con-
gress and many prettily gowned women.
Flags and flowers entered into the elab-
crate scheme of decoration.

TO AID OUR EXPORT TRADE

The Baltimore Sun prints the following
from its Washington correspondent:
The international celebration of official
character on the completion of the Pan
anna canal will probably. as it should. be
held at the National Capital President
aft will give his approval to the project.
It is expected that the canal will be COM
pleted by 1915 and a number OF celebra-
tons will be held in honor OF the event.
Without detracting from any of these,
such as they may be. the international
event belongs to the National Capital,
not only on account of the official atmos-
phere, but because of the permanent in
huence beneficial to the advancement Of
commerce on lines proportionate with the
great canal enterprise which would result
from a meeting at Washington of the
nations of the earth, all being equal
beneficiares with the United States OF
this great enterprise for which this gov
eminent has borne the expense.

An international Exposition.

The establishment Of such an emporium
of industry as permanency in the Ma
tional Capital after an international eX-
position bringing all of the nations to-
gether in mutual recognition of the i'm
portance of the new canal would be not
only fitting memorial of one of the great
world events in history, but an enlighten-
ing encouragement to commerce whereby
advantage could be taken intelliSently of
the opportunities for the development of
trade. consequent upon the construction
of the canal, which are open to the whole
world.
President Taft recognizes that the COM
mercial success of the great canal enter
prise would be greatly facilitated by its
being brought sharply to the attention of
the whole world with such an exposition
of Its Importance as would be impressive
upon the commercial intelligence of the
world. and he will favor an international
celebration at the National Capital with
permanent memorial of the event which
will be instructive and inspiring to COM
merce.
movement is already on foot for
celebration on the Pacific coast and for
celebrations on the gulf. none of which,
1t is thought. should be discouraged. The
event is one OF sufficient Importance to be
celebrated in any part of the county
where interest is sufficiently conferred to
make such celebration a success.

Permanent Memorial Here.

But independently Of any local or sec
tional interest or of any othe" celabra-
ton. there should be at the National Capt.
tai an exposition and a permanent me-
mortal of official character commanding
the recognition and the interest of all the
commercial nations which will be the
beneficiary Of the liberal undertaking of
the United States in the construction of
this canal, which will be open to the
commerce of the world it is to our
own.
1t is probable that Mr.. ]. Hampton Moore,
representative from Pennsylvania, who
has made most intelligent study of our
commercial relations both domestic and
foreign. and who has been a foremost
advocate of what might be termed a
school of instruction through perma-
nent exposition of trade requirements,
will take up this question in Congress.
President Taft approving of the propo-
sition as ha does. it is believed it will be
received with general favor by Congress,
the advantages of such a national EXPOSE
ton being apparent, both for the encour-
agement of our commerce in general and
for the development of the commerce of
the canal, which must be encouraged in
order to bring proper compensation for
the immense expenditure of energy and
money by the United States. not in its
own interest alone. but in the interest
of the whole world. j. p. NJ.

U. s. OFFICIALS EvASIvE ON
ARREST OF JAPANESE SPIES
r'an - Started TO Deal Out Severe
Punishment to Foreigners Who
Examine Fortlfic atIons.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 30.--A practl-
cal confirmation of dispatches from
Manila of Japanese activity was given
out AT the war department today, fol
lowing the arrival OF special repoI
from Major General Duyall, when II
was stated In diplomatic language
/ that mo certain Information" OF the
importation Of arms and explosives
was at hand.
No mention was made OF the report
ed arrest and deportation OF spies. As
the statement was written IN mega
tive manner, designed to give the eli
feet of denial, the omission OF ref
erence To spies was considered most
significant
The department declined to give
any further Information on the situa-
ton AT this time. and no comment
could he obtained regarding the re-
ports that Japanese houses have been
searched and that large quantities d
explosives have been found and con
lscated. The department contented
Itself with the assertion that il was
not certain If any explosives had
been imported"
1T is known that Major General
Wood. chief Of staff. cabled to Duvall
asking for complete report on the
situation. The following brief state
ment is known To represent only such
comment on the report as IL was con-
sideied advisable 10 make public:
A cablegram received today from
the headquarters OF the Philippine
division. states that there is no indi
cation OF wireless station set up in
the Philippines without our authority,
and no certain information that arms,
ammunition or explosives have been
imported
The statement, There is no indica
ton of a wireless station set up with
out our authority" Is not looked upon
here as covering the press reports
which stated that the alleged Japanese
station had been dismantled and de-
stroyed under orders OF secrecy.
Further confirmation is given> the
reports through the activity in govern
ment circles in favor of the passage
OF the bill prov iding severe punish
ment for spies of foreign countries
detected in making observations of
American fortifications. At present
spies are punishable only as tress-
passers. II is expected a strong orr
