NBoUT MEN,

Il happened to be in a small county
seat of Western Pennsylvania not long
ago." says Frank II. Sommer, land to
pass away time while waiting for my
train I visited the county courtroom.
THE judge was one of those all
important sort who are in evidence in
small towns, and before him was a
prisoner charged with pocket picking
When arraigned the prisoner had
pleaded guilty, but the case, neverthe-
less, vent to a jury, who returned a
verdict of not guilty.
and then the court spoke as fol-
lows: You don't leave this court with
out a stain on your character. By your
W confession you are a thief. BY
the verdict of the Jury you are a liar "

Frank M. McDermit, the lawyer, likes
to show his interest In the average
mans daily work. So, when he saw a
man the other day working hard in the
Globe building, where he has his Of
fees, he slapped him on the back
Familiarity and said sympathetically:
Pretty close, isn't it?"
Clothes" was the answer. "Why, I
haven't been in the clothing business
for many years, I'm a carpenter now"
Dave Reide, an uptown druggist, al
ways liked to buy his goods direct
from the manufacturer and had many
ways of getting rid of the statesmen
who called on him. But one day a
salesman who knew his habits got the
best Of him in the following
Dave saw him coming into the store
and hastily picking up an old worn-out
brush from the counter he began dust
ing 1t and when the man came in ne
said, II am very busy today and don't
need anything, anyway"
The salesman looked at him and said,
Yes, you do, Dave, the brush you are
In my line"
Dave bought one.
Why are cows' horns capped with
brass? This question had the local
customs department specializing the
other day. One said it was 4 precau-
ton taken by farmers in the event Of
the animals trying to puncture their
keepers. Chief Deputy Collector Fred.
erick S. Freed, who has recently given
up his home in this metropolis for one
with new-mown hay surrounding it in
the suburbs. asserted that his cows
horns are capped to prevent the ami
mails being struck by lightning. lis
associates refuse to digest this, but the
chief declares that his knowledge is the
result of practical experience, so there
you are.
Former Judge ChaEncey H. Beasley,
like other lawyers. has queer clients
drift into his ONCE occasionally. The
other day a woman called and told her
tale Of woe. IN ssid that while she
was on a trolley car the car suddenly
swerved, she was thrown and badly
hurt. Mr.. Beasley listened to the story
patiently and after ne had sifted 1t to
the bottom said:
Madame, you cannot recover"
Indeed, l can" she snapped. Il will
recover shortly. The doctor told me
so"

GEORGE GOULD'S O K

George Gould at a dinner at Georgian
Court said wittily of a suspected gold
mine:
Gold mines are like human beings
they can't be judged by their appear

THE TRUNK SEWER PACT STILL OPEN.

TOR Bloomfield and Glen Ridge the lamp still holds out to burn.
The stipulatons made by them in signing the trunk sewer
contract were impossible of acceptance because the sewerage
commission has no legal authority to make any compact apart from
the construction of the fsewer. That fact is now made perfectly
plain to the Bloomfield and Glen Ridge authorities, and as the com
mission is about to take final and conclusive action it is for the two
municipalities to decide at once what they shall do, and doubtless
the decision will be made at a conference next Friday night.

Negro Minister ON Lynching.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Kindly allow me space in your paper
to give some expression in behalf of
my ace regarding the Goatesville
crime, the torture and burning of
Ezekiel Walker.
From whatever point of view this
crime may be considered, it is, in my
estimation. one Of the blacklist and
most heinous in the annals Of the
nation in the acme of her greatest in
tellectual development and Christian
glory; a crime unequaled by the
brutality of the Turks or Russians per-
petrated upon the Jews and Christians.
The question that most concerns us
law expand itself to apprehend and
punish those guilty of the crime. The
identity of those who look part was
concealed by masks, which implies the
almost impossibility of apprehending
ever their leader. Still further, we are
informed that 1000 of the citizens Of
Coatesville witnessed and gave their
consent to the crime by their cheers
Now, who are the guilty? Those who
gave consent to the crime by their
presence are equally as guilty as those
who actually committed the crime.
Therefore. the whole town of Coates
VILE should be held equally responsible
and amenable to the law.
When in the Brownsville trouble the
actual member of the Tenth Cavalry
who did the shooting of n of the
citizens of Brownsville could not be
~apprehended the entire troop suffered
punishment. Then, If this be justice
in one case, it must be Justice In an
other of the same analogy, and the
same procedure should be followed.
In this case race or color or previous
conditions in life should count nothing.
Republicans and Democrats hould be
one in adjusting this wrong and elimi-
mating such scenes of barbarism for
ever from within the borders of the
greatest country of the world.
The negro Is here, and he Is not re-
sponsible for his presence. He is here
in great numbers. 1t truly seems that
1t has been so ordained by God that he
is here to stay. Since the emancipa-
ton he has made good in every at
tainment worthy of an honorable cfti-
zenshlp. He has proven he is a man
like unto his white brother. capable
of the highest culture. In his own de-
Tense he Is often a coward, but IN de-
tense of the country he calls his home
he knows no fear, he sees-no danger;
nothing but victory. Then why should
not such recognition and consideration
be given him that would at all times
insure his protection and secure for
him such benefits and privileges as be-
long to a citizen of the United States?

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Why is 1t that the Board of Works is
so delinquent about repairing ~clogged-
up sewers? The terrific rainstorm
which hit the city last Tuesday caused
several sewers to overflow, forming
pools of stagnant and u~nhealthful
water. These pools afford an tideal

DISCUSSION OF THE
ORIGIN OF FORMATIONS

The ceologist divides rocks into three
general classes-iGneous rocks. orielnal-
ing from the molten magma forced up-
ward from the bowels of the earth, such
as granite and the various layas sedl- :
rnentary rocks. consisting Of disintegrated
particles OF the iGneous rocks which nave
been reformed into rocks themselves
such as sandstone. and metamorphc
rocks consisting Of igneous or sedimen-
tary rocks whose composition has been
greatly changed by Intense heat, chemi-
cal action. or other causes. as for IN
stance. limestone that has been changed
TO marble.
ScdimentaCy rocks As stated in the
geologic atlas OF The United States geo.
logical survey, are usually made up Of
LAYERS or beds which can be easily separ-
ated. These LAYERS are called strata and
rocks deposited in such layers are termed
stratifed The surface of the earth is
not immovabe; over wide regions 81 very
SLOWLY rises or sinks with reference Ia
the sea. and shore lines arc thereby
changed. AS result OF upward move
ment marine sedime ntary rocks may be-
come part Of the land and most OF our
land areas are I'm fact occupied by rocks
originally deposited as sediments in the
sea.
Sandstone is perhaps The simplest sx-
ample OF a sedimentary rock Obviously
sandstone was once sand, and again each
grain OF sand was once part OF some
older rock. This sand was first eroded
and then deposited and either subjected
perhaps thousands OF feet thick or ce-
mented together by. chemical solutions.
Where the stone was formed hv simple
pressure II contains large proportion
of open spaces and thus becomes an ideal
water bearer. Some sandstones will carry
al much AS six quarts OF water To the
cubic foot of stone In other varieties
the interstices may have been filled with
cementing material so that. the rock may
he for all practical purposes almost as
dense as granite.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY ON
ORIGIN OF HYDROCARBONS

No problem In geology appears more
complex than that OF the origin of the
numerous natural hydrocarbons-asp
ozokerite petroleum and natural gas,
In fact eeologists are at variance in their
theories as 10 the manner I'm which these
are produced. A great number OF the
more important hydrocarbons found in
petroleums can be produced artlfcially
from organic substances, such rs coal
wood and fish OIL while identical or
closely allied hydrocarbons result from
such as cast iron and chlorhydric acid,
In many places petroleum is closely as
ISOLATED with fossiliferous strata; but
hydrocarbons exist also In meteorites and
in volcanic gases and they are even o.
talnable from ieneous rocks.
In bulletin 4ol Of the United States
geological survey. entitled Relations be-
tween Local Magnetic DISTURBANCES and
the Genesis of Petroleum" by George +
Becker the condition of knowledge with
reference Ia the origin OF petroleum and
other hituminous substances is reviewed.
SOME oils, says Mr.. Becker ire undoubt-
ed!y organic and some arc beyond ques-
tlon Inorganic They may have been de-
rived from carhonoous matter of veee-
table or animal origin. and they may
have been derived from carbides of iron
or other metals. II Is also barely posi-
BILE that the HYDROCARBONS exist as such
in the mass OF earth.
While studying the subject. Mr.. Becker
has led TO inquire whether any relation
could he detected between the behavior
OF the compass needle and the distribu-
tion OF hydrocarbons. Not much could
be expected from comparison OF these
phenomena, for magnetic eXerts an at
traction on the needle whether this ore
occurs in solid masses or is disseminated
In massive rocks, moreover, many vol
canic rocks possess polarity. In glanclng
in the United States, Mr.. Becker found
that the irregularities OF the curves OF
