NEW EARTHQUAKE THEORY.
ent time.

Areas Of earthquake and volcanic
activity are travelling westward about
twenty-five miles a year, according
to the investigation of II. Wehner, a
German physicist. He accounts for
this by the novel theory that the
earth's solid crust incloses a thin
layer of liquid, within which is
solid nucleus rotating about the
same axis as the outer shell, and in
the same direction, but with a slight
ly less velocity, the tagging behind
causing the nucleus to make a revo-
luton to the west in the crust in
about 952 years. 1t is assumed that
earthquake and volcanic disturbances
result when projecting or active
spots on the nucleus are moved un-
der weak portions of the crust. From
reports by ships during the last 60
years it is calculated that the active
spots Of the Atlantic are nearly all
collected at the present time under
the region between 35 and Al de-
grees west longitude and one degree
north and one degree south latitude,
and that this area off the northeast
ern coast of South America may be
regarded as a danger zone.

RACKS THAT MATCH TABLES
Wood and Covered with
Fancy Material.

Handsome racks can be bought in
brass and different woods to match
various tables. Those in burnt wood
are also popular, with those who like
this form of decoration.
SO much of this decorating is
done by amateurs that it is one of
the first kind of rests chosen to
make. Far newer, however, are the
racks made of thin white wood aud
covered with fancy cretonnos, en-
broidered brocades or other ma
terials.
The wood part is made to slide
like the ordinary racks, and is either
painted white and enameled or is
stained TO correspond with table, on
which it is to be used.
Even easier to make are the racks
with two ends and under slides with
no connecting rods. Each end has
an upright with rounded or square
angles to be slipped under the end
books.
These frames may be made Of
wood or heavy cardboard, and are
covered with green burlap, bound
with dull gold braid and have fat
brass ornaments pasted on each end.

SIR GEORGE PLAYS SAFE.

Sir George Nichols, member Of
parliament, was formerly travelling
peddler. He started business with a
donkey and cart and then managed
TO get enough together to buy a
mule. Finally he got up to horse
and cart, with which he worked un-
til he received an offer to become lay
pastor of a small church at $500 a
year. This was a princely salary to
him and he passed the pony cart on
to friend. He refused to sell out
right, however, and instead reserved
the right to return to his hawker's
business if he was a failure as a
preacher.
'"This," he says now, "was trust
ing to the Lord, but not losing sight
of the main chance"

Mile. Boucheraud, a fascinating
Partisan actress, once had a perfect
Grecian nose. Now it is slightly
concave in its lower part, and she is
claiming in the law courts f1,Oo0

A FRESH AIR DREAM.

Miss jeanette Baird is New
York woman who proposes that an
upper air promenade be erected in
that city, 600 feet above the pave
n,ents, a bridge of glass, upon which
people may walk and children may
play, out of the foul air of the city.
The glass walk would have streets
in all parts of the city, just like those
below, and it would possibly be
reached from the corners by means
Of airships.

RAIN GENERAL ON
THE NORTH SIDE

The rain of last night, yesterday
and two nights ago seems to have
been heavier on the plantation end
Oahu than in the city. From Oahu,
Eva and Waialua come reports of al
most steady showers-the kind that
soak in and do the most good On
the mountains the fall has been very
heavy and it was still raining this
morning on the peaks above Waialua.
Manager Goodale, of Waialua, was
in town this morning and expressed
considerable satisfaction on account
of the weather he has been having.
"Waialua plantation has had a good
wetting," he reported; "but the best
feature for us is that there have
been very heavy rains on the noun
tains, and a great volume of water is
| coming down. 1t was still raining
on the mountains when ! left there
this morning.
''At the time the rain started in the
water in our big dam registered 6S
feet. This morning it was 76 feet
an increase of eight feet, and was
still rising"
The rainfall at Oahu Plantation ur
to o'clock yesterday morning had
been twenty hundredths of an inch
and For the period up to o'clock this
| morning it was eighteen hundredths
inches, the total for the two days be
ing thirty-eight hundredths inches
The fall was quite evenly distributed
over the various levels.

and the planting will begin as soon
as the heavy rains are over. About
one-half million cane points have been
ordered from Honolulu and will be
put in as soon as their arrival here.
Mr.. H. E. Nelson, assistant to Mr..
Thayer, left yesterday for Calamba to
pay off the men and consult with Mr.
w. E. Thompson, the general foreman
of the estate as to future operations,
the number of men needed, the mate
rial and supplies required.
The Calamba office will be opened
on July IS with A. N. Shelledy in
charge. All the plantation business
will be handled there including the
employment of labor and the head
quarters Office in Manila will do no
more employing with the exception
of head foremen and expert and skill
ed labor.
Representative of the company feel
encouraged over the labor proposition;
there are in the neighborhood 10000
to $4,000 people living in the Barrios
of the estate and it is expected that at
least 900 working men viii be obtain
ed from that number. Mr.. Thompson
is one of the old timers in the islands
and has handled native labor for seve-
raj years.
In regard to the situation at Calam
ba, Mr.. Thayer said to a Cablenews
American representative yesterday:
"The Constabulary have been very
nice to us and have given us every
protection possible. A detachment
has been established at Santo Domin
so and is guarding the interests of the
company. Captain Hawkins, who is
in charge of the district, has shown
us every courtesy and has made every
effort to rid the country of carabac
thieves"

NEW YORK MARKET
RECEIVERS AGAIN

NEW YORK, July 29.-The stock
market today showed the effects of
the rapid recovery from the acute
depression of the early part of the
week. The usual after results of
sudden and violent turn in the market
began to appear. The substantial
reduction of the short interests dimin-
ished the urgency of the demand, and
made it less easy for the opposing
speculative party to bid up prices.
The action of the market had the
inevitable effect of modifying specu-
lative opinions of conditions in them
selves unchanged. This was seen
in the suggestions of flaws in the eff
fectiveness of the settlement of the
Pearson syndicate's difficulties.
The question was heard whether
the concentration of power over the
railroad systems of the country, which
would result from the surrender Of
that syndicate's large control to bank
ing interests already affiliated with
rival and competing interests, might
stimulate renewed agitation against
the power of centralized capital and
induce more stringent legislation for
the repression of these tendencies.
The determination to discontinue
dividends on the Atlas portland &C.
mept stock was used to contest the
rise in prices. The incident scarcely
leads itself to supposition of declin-
ing business, as the possession of
large contracts with the government
for Panama canal supplies makes it
necessary to divert resources for an
increase of capacity.
The special nature of these con-
tracts also detracts from their import
ance, as showing any sign of general
trade expansion. An an evidence OF
the difficulty of enlisting new capital
however, the incident has real impor
lance.

Mr.. THAYER
STARTS WORK ON
HIS PLANTATION

A. F. Thayer, the mysterious sugar
plantation promoter now operating in
the Philippines, appears to be going
ahead with his proposition, fears to
the contrary Notwithstanding. The
Manila Cablenews of July IL contained
the following interesting account of
his plans:
Mr.. A. F. Thayer, manager of the
Calamba Sugar Estates Company, has
just returned from Hongkong where
he has been in consultation with the
principal directors of the company. Ar
engagements have been made for the
financing of the plantation by a big
New York firm, although Mr.. Walter F.
Dillingham; will retain his interest in
the estate as heretofore, he will not
have anything to do with the opera
tons.
Llr Thayer reports that the outlook
for the successful operation of the es-
tate is excellent. The company has
purchased a launch which it is fitting
up for mail and freighter service
between Manila and Calamba. The
docks at the latter port are fast being
completed but those at Los Banos
will be used until those of the COM
pany have been finished. Work at the
plantation has taken active shape and
about 20 men are now at work with
the prospects of force of 500 laborers
within the next two weeks. Two car.
loads of machinery have arrived and
and an order has been placed for five
miles of track and for sugar cane
wagons, the order approximating about
10000 pesos.
The survey of roads through the
estate has been completed and force
is now at work cutting them out &C
cording to plans. About 100 acres o
the estate have already been ploweC
