WIDOWS DEATH RECALLS
ATTACK ON NAPOLEON

From 1914 to 1910 is a long interval,
yet within the last few days, according
TO Paris contemporary, the widow of
man who attempted 96 years ago to
assassinate Napoleon has passed away
The old lazy was Nine. Guerry de Mau-
breuil, and she married her late hus-
band in 1866, and at the time of her
death she was S3 years of age. Her
husband was associated with the first
empire and the restoration. Some
writers assert that TalleyranJ bribed
the man to make the attempt. That the
wife of man who attempted to as
sassinate Napoleon should be living
in our time, if not astonishing, is at
least another of the instances men
toned in this column of Bridging the
Centuries."

TIDES AND HEAT CHANGE
THE EARTH'S CRUST
Valleys Expand by Day and Con-
tract by Night

A new branch of chronological inves-
tigation is esta blishing itself. The ex-
quisite sensitiveness of the instruments
now in use has disclosed the fact that
the earth's crust is being continually
altered owing to the shifting of enor-
nous weights which is constantly go
ing on. Tides, rainfall and air pressure
are, says the Liverpool Post. among
the chief causes of this phenomenon.
Professor Milne of the Shide observa-
tory, has proved that valleys expand
by day and contract by night as a con-
sequence of the heat of the sun and
its withdrawal. The Isle of Wight is
moved alternately forward and back
ward by the tides. and is tilted up from
the channel side at high water by the
pressure of the weight OF the tide. OF
the Mersey estuary, also, and along the
coast toward Anglesey. a detection of
one inch in Is miles is caused by the
weight of the tide when full.

President Taft Appoints New
Internal Revenue Collector
for State OF Georgia
Especial Dssateh 10 The CaIIl

ATLANTA. Ga. Aug. S.-When Presi-
dent Taft today named Henry S. Jack
son as collector of internal revenue for
Georgia to succeed Henry A Rucker. 1t
marked the elimination of the negro
from high federal positions in the state
Rucker was the last negro left in a
responsible position. and the fact that
he has been succeeded by a white man
is interpreted here to mean that Presi-
dent Taft intends to try to attract
whites of the south into the republican
party by discharging the negro.
Henry A. Rucker has held the place
of revenue collector OF Georgia since
1891 He was appoiR&sd by President
Mckinley and held the office under the
Roosevelt administration He was
ranked by government officials as an
efficient officer.
Henry S Jackson. who succeeds the
negro, is the son of the late Justice
Howell r. Jackson of the United States
supreme court. and a brother in law
of Mayor Robert F. Maddox of At
Ianta. and stands high in social and
financial circles.
Jackson was president of the Taft
clubs in Georgia during the Taft
Bryan campaign. He was strongly op-
posed for the coIectorship by republ-
can leaders in Georgia, one objection
being that he was democrat until the
Taft campaign.
