simplon Tunnel Fortifications.
WARREN. PA.


Both Italy and Switzerland are for
tifying the entrances of the SimplOn
Tunnel, while in the tunnel itself en-
gineers are engaged in constructing
mines and strengthening those already
in place in order to blow up the tunr
mel at moments notice in the event
Of war Near the middle of the tup
mel, a few yards from the Swiss from
tier, Italian engineers have put in q
double iron door which can resist the
rush OF an express train travelling at
60 miles an hour. The iron door Is
worked by electricity from Iselle, the
station at the Italian end of the tun-
mel, and under ordinary conditions 1t
is hidden in the rocky side OF the
tunnel The door is carefully tested

Chicago has cut its high school
course to two years, in order to in
duce pupils to abandon the habit of
quitting school at the end of the

EngIand's Radium King.

Harry March, the British engineer.
who was recently made knight by
King Manuel in recognition of his dis
covery of valuable radium mines in
Portugal. is popularly known in scien-
tific circles as the radium king. Mr..
March has mined in almost every cor
ner of the earth. In the Guarda belt
mountains, 1000 feet above the level
Of the sea. he suffered terrible priva-
tions. When hungry he would have
to trust to his gun for a meal. Sour
wine was the only drink procurable.
and even that difficult to obtain. For
nearly three years this brilliant young
engineer endured great hardships, till
his perseverance, was rewarded by
the discovery of the worlds richest
radium mines. Mr.. March is taking
a great interest in the new National

A MISTAKE IN THE BALLIN-
GER-PINCHOT HEARING.

When the Ballinger-Pinchot quarrel
reached the stage where a Congress
sicnal investigation was necessary the
public mind was open on the merits
Of the controversy. The Secretary Of
the Interior was not charged with any
criminal ofTease- he was charged with
not being in harmony with the policy
Of conservation as approved by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. It was said that he
was not the man to have direction Of
the conservation movement That
was about all
An official inquiry being determined
upon, what was wanted was an investi-
CATION that would enable the public to
feel that the findings could be regarded
as conclusive. Few people have had
the patience to follow the testimony.
The an-important thing WIS to have
the hearing so fair, the committee so
plainly actuated by a desire to dis
close the whole truth that when its
Iabors were finished everybody would
be willing to accept its conclusions as
settling the controversy.
Mighty little good viii have been ac-
complished If. when the committee gets
through, the anti-Ballinger people are
in position TO complain that the com
mittee shut the door to pertinent testi-
monv. It would be still more Unfor-
tunate If there were two reports
Yet the committees action IN regard
to the demand for the documents pre-
pared in the Attorney Generals office
which the attorneys for PinchOt wish
produeed plainly tends to create a bad
/ impression. To refuse to call for evi-
dence which seems 10 have a bearing
on the case Is the best way in the
world to make the public feel In ad.
vance that It doesn't care very much
what the committee finds
The only tmng the investigation
could possibly hope 10 do was to re
store BaIlinger TO public confidence
This purpose is defeated before the in
