SEEKING LOST PACIFIC ISLES

23rd and August 5th, 1871, the
Marcy cruised more than 900 miles
no of them in clear weather. An
uninterrupted lookout was kept, but
no indications of shoals or island
were reported. Many soundings,
with 800 to 1900 fathoms of wire,
failed to discover bottom. No bet
ter luck was had by the commander
OF the Hasler, which covered 1 400
miles between May oath and June
10Th, 1873. ,,a..-
But while this evidence as to dis
appearance of the islands seemed con-
elusive it was not until August, 1881,
that the search for the islands was
begun on systematic basis. In that
year the late Admiral Philip, in the
United States ship Ranger, reported
thirty soundings in the positions
given for the islands, but 2,617
fathoms was the shallowest water
found.
In 1888 the master of the British
Woman reported that he had seen
the islands, and the next year the
master of the schooner Una reported
the existence of a peaked rock stand
ing above the sea in latitude 1924
north, longitude 1925 west. In his
report he said:
Il have not the slightest doubt
that saw the rock, but the position
may vary slightly on account of pos
| sible inaccuracies of my instruments,
my sights not being very good"
Since then the photographic office
has been making a vain search for
; the islands, and the conclusion is that
either all of those who have reported
| seeing the islands, rocks, or reefs
were mistaken or that volcanic ac-
ton has caused them to appear and
disappear.
The United States ship Wheeling
has searched the vicinity of the is
lands, taking soundings at intervals
so closely spaced that no formation
of the earth of strength sufficient to
stand its own weight or the weight
of the water and it's movements could
be placed between them. Fifty-nine
soundings, ranging from 2,776 to g.
O91 fathoms, or from three to three
and a half miles, were taken. Speci-
mems of the soil at the ocean bottom
were similar in every case.

A BOTANICAL FREAK.
Three Varieties of Tree Growing
From One Trunk.

Athens, Ga, possesses more than
one curious tree, from botanilogi-

liar one has only recently been noted.
The tree that owns itself, the Aus
tralian oak that bears the giant
acorns, the tree that is growing out
of two-story building, have all been
objects of interest, but the new dis
covery beats them all.
1t is three trees in one, and the
freak is situated on Finley street,
near the Athens high school.
The original tree is a large china
berry tree, and out of the trunk Of
this are growing two other kinds of
trees. One is a water oak ard the
other is of the Empress of India va

LEDGES APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR
IN MYSTERIOUS WAY.
SOME LAST SIGHTED IN 1889

Where They Have Gone Is PuzzIing
photographic Bureau. Vessels
Cruise Three Thousand Miles in
Search Of Them.
NEW YORK.-The Reed Islands
off the Pacific coast have again dis
appeared or shifted their position.
Where they have gone to is puzzling
the photographic Bureau officials,
says the Times.
The Reed Islands, or reefs, known
also as the Redfeld Rocks, were dis
covered in 1851 by Capt Reed of the
brig Emma in the Pacific ocean,
about 700 miles west of San Fran
cisco. The rocks, according to Capt
Reed, measured 600 to 900 feet
long and $50 to 400 feet across, be-
.ng covered in most places by about
three fathoms of water.
The following year the commander
of the United States sloop-of-war
Falmouth confirmed the existence of
the rocks or islands. Capt. Redfield
of the whaler Susan Abigail in 1856
also reported that he had passed the
rocks, but gave their position as
eleven miles north of that fixed by
Commander Reed. The captain of
the schooner Cave, in 1866, again re-
ported the rocks, giving their position
as one mile north and five miles east
of that originally given.
The bark What Cheer, in 1858,
passed over the locality in which the
islands were reported, but her master
could discover no traces of them
I A similar report was made N 1868
by the skipper of the bark Live YAM
kee.
Ever since that time the United
States government has been vainly
/ trying to locate or rediscover the is
lands. In 1870 the sloop-of-war
Kearsarge and the following year
the coast survey steamer Marcy
failed to find the islands. In 1873
the coast survey steamer Hasler and
two years later the United States
steamship Narragansett had no bet
ter luck.

and the lookout had clear view of

vealed.
The Narragansett spent a whole

breakers in at least six fathoms of

WASHINGTON, ID. Cine prop
osition now pending in congress to
appropriate $4,000 for the organi-
cation and maintenance of a seismo-
logical laboratory, under the direc-
ton of the Smithsonian Institution,
for the collection of archaeological
data, the study and investigation Of
special earthquake regions in North
America, the organization of special
parties for the investigation of earth
Quakes and volcanic eruptiOns in any
part of the world is attracting the
attention of laymen and scientists
the world over.
The immense destruction of life
and property by certain large earth
quakes emphasizes the Importance of
Investigations which may lead to a
reduction of the damage from future
earthquakes. The science of seis-
mology is in its infancy and it is not
always evident that lines and inyes-
LEGATIONS will yield the most impor-
tant results, hence the importance
of developing larger knowledge of
seismology in all directions. For ex-
ample: it was not at all realized
that the accurate surveys of the
Coast and Geodetic Survey in Cali
fornia would demonstrate that the
great earthquake there in 1906 was
due to forces set up by slow move
ments of the land which have proba-
bly, been going on for a hundred
years. We have learned that slow
movements of the land must precede
many large earthquakes, and mOnu-
ments are now being set up in Cali
fornia to enable us to discover flu
ture movements of the land and
thus to anticipate future earth
quakes. This probably is the most
important step so far taken toward
the prediction of earthquakes.
Everybody Could Help.
Seismological work is too large to
be prosecuted successfully by the uni
ties, but requires some central
Office under government supervis-
ion to encourage theoretical and
observational studies and to collect
and study information from all avail
able sources. The various depart
ments Of the government could offer
material help. The weather bureau
could furnish information regarding
felt shocks and could maintain seis-
mographs at some of their stations.
Postmasters throughout the country
could also report felt earthquakes.
The coast and geodetic survey could
maintain instruments and adapt their
nd n ya+i IN hc
detection of slow earth movements.
The army could give information re-
garding earthquakes felt at their out
lying posts; the navy regarding
earthquakes felt at sea- The geolog-
ical survey could furnish informa-
ton regarding the geological struc-
ture of, earthquake regions.
The archaeological laboratory would
collect and study all this informa-
ton. 1t would serve as a clearing
house for the whole country 1t
would also be the link to connect
archaeological work in this country
with the work done in other parts
of the world. Its director should
represent the United States in the In
ternational Seismological Associa-
ton, which this country has joined
through the department of state.

Weather Mans Advice.
Prof. Willis Moore, the chief of
the United States Weather Bureau,
believes that such laboratories should
be authorized at once. When asked
for his opinion of the matter today
he said:
"a proper place for the doing of
this work would be the Smithonian
or the Geological Survey. The in
quiTy is more germane to the work
of the geolOgist than to that of the
meteorologist. | believe, however,
that the appropriation provided for
in the bill creating the laboratory
would be inadequate to establish a
line of research that would be COM
prehensive in it's scope. l am of the
opinion that at least twenty stations
should be established. The instru-
mental equipment and installation
for each of these stations would cost
$500, and the pay of the observer
would. amount to $1,000, while the
laboratory in Washington would
probably require an expenditure of
$4,000 or 5000 per annum.
I'm view of the fact that the
weather bureau owns eighty observa-
tory buildings, with grounds, and
that it has in it's employ trained
meteorological observers who could
be utilized to make chronological OBJ
servations, it has been suggested that
a division of seismology be estab-
lished in the weather bureau and
that the buildings and grounds now
owned by it be utilized for the in
stallation of instruments and that the
observers take the observations. 1t
is doubtless true that this work could
be done by the bureau for small
portion of the expense that would be
required to establish laboratory I'M
der some other institution"
1t is believed that in the near flu
ture such a laboratory as that just
mentioned will be authorized When
that it done it will be possible to
foretell the coming of earthquakes
just as floods and storms are now
predicted. 1t is believed, too, that
in this way many thousands of lives
and millions of dollars worth of
property may be saved.

Government Demands Severe
Penalty for Violation of
28-Hour Law.
IN SHIPPING LIVE STOCK
Supreme Court Considering What
Constitutes Single OfRense
Under Statute.

! Washington, March 3.-How severe
a punishment congress has provided
/ for railroads guilty Of violating the
| so-called "28 hour law" for Furnishing
| for the unlawful confinement of live
stock in transportation, was the basis
for a stubborn contest today before
the supreme court of the United
States. Counsel for the government
contend that the unit for fning rail-
roads is the separate shipment, while
the legal representatives of the Balti-
more and Ohio Southwestern Railway
company insist that the unit is the
train. no matter of how many separate
shipments it is composed. Some fea-
lures of the case resemble the $685.
100000 Standard OIL case.
Effect Far-ReachinR.
The outcome Of the controversy will
have a far-reaching effect. Many sep
arate consignments of stock are car
ried frequently in one train, so the
sum of the penalty, imposed by the
law, will vary from 800 to many times
800, according to the outcome Of the
litigation. The Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern railroad alone appears
in this case, but practically every
common carrier engaged in interstate
commerce in the United States will
feel the effect of the decision.
This controversy was begun when
the United States district attorney for
the southern district of Ohio filed IL
cases against the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern Railroad company,
claiming that it had carried as many
shipments of live stock from shippers
in various points in Illinois to Cincin-
natl without unloading the stock for
rest, all in violation OF the % hour
law.
The railroad admitted the shipment
and its detention beyond the statutory
time. but it averred guilt of only one
offense because all the shipments
were carried in one train expressed
willingness to pay a fine for one viola
tion.
The district court consolidated the
cases and assessed a single ranalty.
The circuit court of appeals Ior the
sixth district reversed that decision.
The case then was brought to the SUI
preme court by the railroad. Briefs
on both sides of the controversy have
been filed with the court.
