STIRRING D|SCORD
IN YOUNG REPUBLIC
Monarchists in Portugal
Spending Money LavishIy to
Spread Dissatisfaction.

LISBON. Portugal, March 2O.-The
monarchists, taking advantage of the d.
visions and antagonisms< among the re-
publicans, are distributing money lavishly
to spread dissatisfaction in the capital
and throughout the provinces.
The governments postponement Of the
elections for the fourth time, now until
May II. has made a disagreeable impress
sion upon the people.
The announced reason for this delay in
submitting to the people the choice Of a
president and government is that the
clergy have undue anti-Eovernment infiu-
ence in various northern districts, and
there is need Of more time to further the
republican campaign.
The British foreign ONCE has Informed
tho Portuguese government that it will
receive q representative of the republic
quite unodncially and win not recognize
him in a diplomatic capacity.
1t is on these conditions that Teixeira
Gomez, the new envoy. goes to London.
It il understood that Washington will
follow this course in the case OF the Por-
tuEuese representative sent to the United
States.

NEW COAL LAND PLAN
PAYS IMMENSE PROFIT
Scheme Of Valuation Will Net
Government Hundreds Of
Millions of Dollars.

Stock taking in national resources by
the geological survey indicates that
there are something over 70,000.000
acres Of coal lands still at the. disposal
Of the government in the west. A
new scheme OF valuation regarding
these lands has been devised, and they
are now being listed for sale not
merely as coal lands, but on the basis
Of the amount Of coal they actually
contain. The former method Of dis
posing Of these lands was to sell
them at $40 an acre IL moro than fif-
teen miles from a railroad. and $50
an acre II within that limit. Under
the new scheme OF classification the
price Of the land has been raised to
5000 or $500 an acre. and in some cases
even TO $500.
The method OF survey IS tedious and
expensive, consisting OF borin1s to
show the thickness Of the beds, and
examination Of the strata to show the
dip and area. It has proved to be q
paying inquiry.

NINE VOTES LACKING
TWenty-Six States Have Rati-
fled Income Tax Amendment.
Three ACT INTENTIONALLY
Question Now Pending in Seven
Legislatures, and in Five It Has
Not Been Taken Up.
Three ACT UNFAVORABLY

NEW YORK, March 2O.-Nine more
states must ratify the proposed federal
income tax amendment before it can be-
come part of the Constitution. Reports
received here from the capitals of the
forty-six states show that the amend
ment has received favorable action in the
joint legislatures Of twenty-six.
Three states, Vermont, Rhode Island
and Utah, have refused to ratify the
amendment at this years legislature ses-
sions, while New Hampshire has taken
favorable action in one branch of the
legislature only among the sixteen which
have not yet acted this year. The ques-
ton IL now pending in the legislatures Of
Louisiana, New York Massachusetts,,
Maine. Connecticut, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey.
The matter is scheduled to come before
the legislature Of Florida next month.
West Virginia has postponed action.
and the states Of Arkansas. Tennessee.
Wyoming. Minnesota and Delaware have
not considered the matter.
The Proposed Amendment.
The amendment passed Congress in the
form of resolution July 8. 1909. 1t
seeks to add to the Constitution a new
article, No. XVI, reading - follows: 1.-THE
Congress shall have poHlrto lay and coll
lect taxes on incomes, from whatever
sources derived, without apportionment
among the several states and without re-
gard to any census enumeration"
The Constitution provides that proposed
amendments to become valid must be
ratified by three-fourths of the states
This necessitates favorable action by
thfrty-hve Of the forty-six states before
the government can proceed with this
method Of increasing its revenues. There
is no limit to the time Of such ratification,
and negative action by a legislature is not
conclusive. state having the right to re-
verse It's Judgment.
= Action OF the States.
At the close Of 1910 the amendment had
been ratified by only Alabama, Georgia,
Illinois. Maryland. Mississippi, Oklahoma
and South Carolina, while last year the
legislatures Of Louisiana, ssachusetts,
New York and Rhode Island refused to
adopt st, and the other states took no
action. Since January I, 1D11, the follow
ing nineteen additional states voted ia

WEATHER FORECASTS
Scientists Hope to Make Them
at Long Range.
LAST CHECK ON SYSTEM
It Is Expected to BE Secured at an
Observatory to Be Establish
cd in Mexico.

Long-ranEe weather forecasting,
which has been a vision Of scientists
for years. 10 likely to become an &C.
complished fact. The last check on
the system Of observations necessary
will be furnished by an observatory
to be established during the coming
summer In southern Mexico
The work Is In the hands Of the
Smithsonian. 1t will be carried on by
Dr. c. G. Abbot and Secretary Charles
d. Walcott. II the observations made
up to date prove to be correct the de-
velopment will be considered one OF
the greatest Of smodern science. It 10
based on the fact that there 10 al
most certainly a variation in the
amount or radiation from the sun, and
on the earth. though this effect IL
seemingly modified somewhat by local
conditions.
To complete the tests which have
been and still are being made at the
observatory here in Washington (sea
leveD. at Mount Whitney (three miles
elevation) and at Mount Wilson Gone
mile elevaticn), DR.. Abbot finds it nee
essary to establish a station in the
cloudless region Of southern Mexico
the new station and at Mount Wilson
simultaneously, and II the two sets
Of measurements should agree the
conclusion will be proved.
Congress Gives Money.
Congress has provided for this trip
to Mexico by adding $1,000 to the ap-
preparation regularly made for the
work Of the astrophysical observatory
to the intense qualification Of DR.. Alb
bot and Secretary Walcott Of the
Smithsonian Institution. as they are
hopeful Of success attending the un-
dertaking. While tho expedition will
not set out for Mexico until next July.
when 1t il hoped peaceful conditions
VIII be restored in the southern re-
public, the work Of preparation al
ready Is under way. In speaking of
the work. DR.. Abbot says:
When we began to make these meas
urements there was nowhere in the world
any exact scale Of measurement of radia-
ton, although physicists had been work
ing in devising instruments for that pur-
pose for about sixty years. Still there
remained an uncertainty of 5 to 10 per
cent IN the scale Of pyrheliometry, as It
is called. We have devised several in
struments to be used as standards for
that purpose, and in this last year We
have made a careful comparison of two
or our instruments OF the most improved
type, and these agreed perfectly in nx-
Ing the scale OF measurements.
This apparatus Is used now as a stand-
ard by which to standardize other ap-
paratus which has been sent around the
world. We have sent instruments to
France and Italy and have requests for
them from Argentina, Peru and other
countries.

Our measurements at Mt. Wilson have
been carried on for several years. The
first expedition was in 1905, and we have
observed almost daily for six months OF
each year from 1905 to 1910, excepting
In 1907. In 1910 was fortunate in hav-
ing two weeks of good weather on the
summit OF Mt. Whitney, which is the high
est mountain in the United States
carried on there complete measurements
which were simultaneous with those car
ried on at Mt. Wilson. We have found
that the results obtained at Mt. Whitney
check and substantiate completely the
work we were doing at Mt. Wilson.
Therefore, having established q standard
scale OF measurements and having shown
that we get the same results at Washing
ton, Mt Wilson and Mt. Whitney, we
are now able to state the value of the
solar constant Of radiation. This value
is of an importance equal to that Of the
distance of the sun in astronomical work
Our measurements show a range Of the
value of the solar radiation outside Of
our atmosphere OF about per cent.
Now by taking stations 50 far apart
that no local condition in the atmosphere
can affect them both we may actually
prove whether or not these variations are
in the sun. or are something that we
have not eliminated In the atmosphere.
If we find them in the sun we shall have
made q discovery Of the first rank
