THE THEORY OF A
METALLIC STATE.

| lHeTe are NOT many variations In
rock formation. But there are many
different classes Of rocks though
they evidently had a common origin.
OF course the granite Is classed a
basic rock and generally felspathic
This then would seem to be the or
iginal rock forming substance. II
other rocks are without it that may
be due to chemical change. By that
is meant the mineral felspar, due to
some natural action of the elements
changed it into something else. If
it could be determined how nature
works, these theories might be prov
en- and become facts.
The felspar being the basic rock,
the inquiring mind would ask, we'll,
of what is felspar composed? That
may be determined by chemical an
alysis. The constituents of felspar un-
derstood, how did it originate-what
Is its origin? 1t could have been laid
down by water. Large bodies, or a
body, like the ocean being in a con-
slant boil from internal fires or the
constituent of water having been
other than it Is, chemically deposit
ed the silicates and these further
changed till the so-called felspar was
formed.
The quartz veins of a section are
thought to have been formed by the
m nf fn1c do
posted and formed after the felspar
had appeared. But the water having
silicate in solution when none exist
ed, for there were no rocks-how did
1t become possessed Of the silicate?
Knowing the component parts of
water. these were originally gases or
vapors, having affinity each for the
other, they formed the water and
this water, as stated, probably due
to great heat, in time took on a
change and was able to produce in
itself solids which had resulted in
what we have. 4
But the metallic substances asso-
ciated with the rocks is possibly a
further change. 1t Is fair to presume
that the next great change in the
earth contents might be metallic. The
waters everywhere are impregnate
with solids and the sea water con-
tains metals. There was a gaseous
stage, a fluid stage, a rock stage to
possibly .Irn into metallic stage
The world in that condition would be
more susceptible of destruction than
at any time since the earth took
form or solidity. 1t takes a great
| deal Of heat to melt the non-metallic

thus again be deposited; if there be
anything into or upon which it could
be deposited.
From this it would indicate that al
hature is one ceaseless circle or rount
of time, or whatever one may choose
to call it.

1.-THE KINGDOM OF
HEARTS CONTENT"

Tuesday evening the class of 1910,
assisted by other members of the
High school, presented the play THE
Kingdom of Hearts Content" The
audience was all that could be desir-
ed. The opera house was filled to it's
capacity, and judging from the hearty
applause, appreciated the young anna
teurs. The Kingdom of Hearts Con-
tent" is play written by one Of
our late writer's, the scene is Glen
Park, Colorado, and that makes it
all the more interesting. Much credit
is due the class in presenting it SO
well.
Miss Eva Sorenson, who played the
leading role of Millicent Merrill, in
search Of her prince, played her part
well and also found her prince.
Mr.. Walter Keleher, who played the
part Of Tom Lancing; a senior in
law, t5ok the house by sterm-sWalter
would certainly make dignified law
yer. Everett Mccoy, also a law stu
dent, was very we'll received.
Roy Campbell a student cardsharp.
acted his part well, and was one of
the villainous villains.
James Reynolds. who played the
part Of Billy Merrill the little Fresh
man, was certainly all right. If he
likes anything better than girls, it
is more girls-so he says.
Earl Quiller, the poor foot ball
coach, had troubles of his own but
with such a sweet girl as Bessie
Henley to cheer him up, he came
out all right in the end and won the
foot ball game-ani something else.
Louis Carter played the part of the
burglar. His part was short, but he
showed his ability Of doing more.
Bessie Clark, a superstitious south
ern coed, was fine. Superstition
sometimes goes a long way-it GER
tainly did with Bessie. Madge Lam
cling was played by Lavina Philips.
and she was all that could be desir-
ed.
Nellie Comfort, devotee of art
and adjectives, proved herself to be
all she was represented to be. She
sketched several interesting pi .ces
of art, especially of Earl and Bessie.
Hazel Stribley. with literary aspira-
tons. certainly gained them. She
was well fitted for her part.
Mabel French. who played the part
Of Gretchen Lancing, who wanted to
grow up. was fine. Mabel should be
them out SO WELL.
Ora Allebaugh, coed who loves
'fcot ball, proved herself to be an
enthusiast in the game. She lost her
voice in cheering for the team. but
her side won SO she didn't care for
the voice.
Jennie Ware and Nellie Kruse, who
played the parts Of punch" and
Judy" were good. but what troubles
they had trying to console little
Billy.
Beatrice Richards. aunt to Madge.
Tom and Gretchen, was success
as an old lady, and is hard to beat
in playing old lady parts.
Last but not least was Mary Floyd.
who played the part of Tilly. the
maid who "lofes de butcher boy"
Mary brought down the house with
her dutch dialect and witticisms.
What seemed to worry Mary most
was that de butcher boy didn't lofe
her." but 1t all comes out right in
the end and everyone gets into the

NINE DISASTERS.

AS was stated in brief dispatch in
yesterdays Gazette, twenty-five men
were killed and twenty-si1 entombed
by an explosion in the Greens mine
at Tacoma, w. Va, yesterday. There
was great detonation that shook the
earth.
The Greens mine is owned by the
Bend & Bruce Coal Co., and is 10
Wise county, 100 miles from Bluefield,
on the Norfolk and Western Railroad.
Supt. James Browning, who entered
the shaft just few minutes before the
explosion, is among the dead. Wives
and children OF the entombed men
surround the entrance begging the
rescuers to bring their loved ones
out.
The explosion is said to have been
caused by an accumulation OF gas in
the lower levels being set fire to by an
open lamp belonging to one OF the
miners.
Late reports declare fire has broken
out in the mine following the first
explosion, and frantic efforts are be-
ing made to gain admittance to the
imprisoned. 1t is declared the draft

the explosion, 80 great was its force.

SOCIALISTS WANT THEIR MONEY

From his present Office in Queen
Anne's Gate, London, S. w. Gaylord
Wiltshire, who was editor OF Wilshire's
Magazine, has lately been sending
across the water to his socialist friends
and others, with bank accounts, ap'
peais for more money.
Mr.. Wiltshire, since he embarked
on mining enterprises, ostensibly to
get himself and others rich quick, is
already credited with having collected
about 100000 in this country in ex-
change for stock certificates. and
when he went across the big pond last
July he4eft lot of those friends Just
pining for the profits for which they
had believed we're in sight.
According to the present literature
which Wiltshire is sending out from
his office in Queen Anne's Gate, moth
ing less than 800 will do for him,
and those with less to offer need not
apply. The money. he says, is needed
to develop further the Bishop Greek
gold mine in California, the mine
which Wiltshire said three years ago
had a triAe like 5O0,OO0,000 tons Of
ore practically blocked oat by ils
kindness of nature and ready 10 l'c
melted into money for his sociali-t
friends.
He is also asking for money for m
alleged rubber plantation and gold
mine in South America, the ARENA
Rubber and Gold Company.
1t was in his magazine for Septeni-
Der, 1909, Il at Wiltshire announced he
had opened q London Office for the
convenience OF his English stockhold-
ers. Some OF his fellow-socialiSts had
begun to grow peoyisl over their lack
of profits from the ore body in Bishop
creek and we're demanding their money
back. Some OF them subsequently got
an offer from Wiltshire to exchange
their Bishop Greek stock for stock in
his South Anne ican gold mine.
Wiltshire sailed for London on July
81 this year 10 occupy the office he had
taken there. and he has remained there
ever since. Just before he sailed
there appeared in New York paper OF
July 3 an advertisement Of his latest
enterprise.
The advertisement filled most OF q
page. Across four columns ran this
alluring heading:
Gold and rubber kings in combina-
ton, "a per cent in four months, SOO
per cent later on.
Those four months expired on No
yember 5, and the shareholders have
seen nothing OF any dividend whatever.

D0tBLE SUICIDE.

Mrs. Nellie Hall, aged twenty-eight,
OF Camden, and Howard Newcomb,
aged twenty-four, OF Highlandtown,
near Baltimore, Nd, committed sui
eide by inhaling gas in an apartment
house in Camden some time Tuesday
night or yesterday morning. Mrs. Hall
went to the house week ago and en-
gagged room. On Tuesday evening at
6 O'Clock she was joined by Newcomb.
Nothing was seen of either after that
time. They had made every prepara-
ton for death, having stuffed the doors
and windows with paper and cloth to
prevent the gas escaping. On The
bureau they placed sheet OF paper,
containing their names and addresses.
Then. they turned the gas on full and
laid down to die. Morris Hall, hus-
band OF the dead woman, is an employe
of the public service corporation in
Camden.
