CORE OF THE EARTH.
Ono of tho Enigmss of Nature That
Science Cannot Solvo

Science Cannot Solve.
Human beings know only mere
skin of the surface OF the EARTH not
more than thirty miles deep. while the
globe is 5000 niles in diameter. There
Is probably no oxygen ut all below
thirty miles. and 1t is difficult to guess
what are the elements within. Prob
ably the heaviest elements form a
dense core near the center.
1t IS I'm some respects astonishing,
most alarming. that we are so COM
pletely devoid OF any direct knowledge
OF the constituents OF the vast mass
Of globe beneath us and really only
know the merest film. A skin or men,
brane one-twentieth OF an inch In
thickness dhe thickness of kid or
brown paper spread over a ball lit
tie more than foot In diameter repre-
sents the proportion between the
the known crust Of the earth thirty
miles thick and the great globe itself.
We are dependent on inference and
speculation for our notions as to the
constitution Of all that Is beneath the
mere skin OF thirty miles thickness
OH the globes surface. Even what Is
thrown up by the biggest volcanoes
does not come from below this depth
or tell us what lies hidden there.-Ex-

TAFT ON

At the Lincoln Day banquet in New
York Saturday President Taft, in his
address incidentally referred to state
hood. He said:
The platform also promised state
hood to Arizona and New Mexico and
the bill providing such statehood has
passed the house and has beef ave
ably considered by the committee of
he senate, so that there seems to be
no reasonable doubt that this promise
will be fully kept"
II will be noticed that the Presi-
dent uses the future tense-i in speaking
of Statehood. Although promises have
e made times without namber dur
ing the past fifty years. yet it is al
ways of the future of which we must
speak.
Speaking of the P~ayne-Aldrich tar
