THE LAWS OF NATURE
A Theory That They Are Under
going a Constant Change.

Whether or not the laws Of nature may
change CT actually have changed was
theme OF much interest at the recent IN
ternationaI philosophical congress, in Bo-
loena, owing to an idea brought forward
by Henri Poincare This brilliant French
physicist and mathematician undertook an
examination OF the question raised by the
famed Boutroux as 10 whether Nature was
after all immutable in her arrangements.
Does sh. not change her laws? In world
which evolves continually. are the laws
that is. the rules under which this evoiu-
ton takes place-alone exempt from all
variation? Such a conception could never
be adopted by the man OF science without
DENYING even the possibility Of science. but
the philosopher has the right TO pose the
question.
Imagine a world in which there was no
difference Of temperature. Certain laws
would be discovered by the inhabitants.
such as. for example, that water boils al
a certain fixed pressure Suppose now that
In course Of time this uniform temperature
changed; all the laws would now change;
water would boil at a different pressure
and so on. Now. however perfect might
be the conductivity for heat Of his planet,
II would doubtless not be absolute so that
enc day a physicist of genius might with
his delicate Instruments detect these imper-
ceptible differences
A theory might then be erected that these
differences Of temperature had an effect on
physical phenomena. and. finally. some bold
speculator might affirm that the mean tenn
perature of the world had varied In the
mast. and with 1t all physical laws. MAY
there not be some phy steal entity as yet
entirely unknown to us. as was tempera-
ture 10 TIE inha bitants Of this imaginary
world, which might vary and SO create IN
the same way a change in all the laws
Poincare found something analogous 20
this. at any rate, in the ideas now being
brought forward on the subject Of mcchan-
les. and which were later in the congress
put forward by Professor Lanseyin. whose
name IS known In connection with work in
radio activity. IL IS now asserted that the
laws Of mechanics. once considered abso-
lutte. are not 50. They must be- changed. or
AZ least enlarged They are only approx
matelv true for the velocities to which we
are accustomed. and cease 10 De 20 FOR
veCcitics comparable 20 that of light. one
might say that as a result Of the constant
dissipation of energy the speed OF bodies
has much diminished since their activity
gets transformed into heat
Thus, remountinE back TO the past one
would find an epoch when yelociues COM
parable 10 shat Of light were not ulcom-
mon. and when, as a consequence the elias
steal laws % dynamlcs were not true. But
II. on the other hand, we consider these
laws as only approximate laws. and con-
slider the laws OF motion OF molecules as
the true laws, We can keep our faith loo
the imputali!ty Of laws in general There
IS not then. a sole law that We can euunci-
ate with the certainty that 20 las always
been true IN the past on wlll'9lways b,
true In the future Current Literature

KoKoVTZoFF A LIBERAL.

Kokovtzoff has always been identified
with the Liberal party, and Russia is
indebted TO him for every one of the
reforms in penal legislation, in the or
ganization and in the management Of
her prisons, that have taken place dur
ing the last quarter Of a century. Rus
sian prisons are still far from bearing
any comparison with those Of America
But they are incomparably better to-day
than they were twenty-five years ago.
and the management on the whole Is
humane. any abuse Of authority being
due to the difficulty of maintaining hon
esty and discipline among the officials
charged with that particular branch Of
the government administration.
1t was in 1890 that Kokovtzoff. who
is a man about ffty-nine years old. first
became identified with the Treasury De-
partment, and from that time forth he
has had a very active share in the d.
rection Of the economic and financial
policy Of the empire; and il may safely
be said that there has been no Russian
statesman during the last hundred years
who has stood higher in the opinion Of
the foreign money markets than Waldo
mar KOkovtzoff, who can boast u hav-
ing possessed in an altogether excep-
tional extent the confidence and favor of
three successive emperors Of Russia
namely, Alexander H. Alexander III
and the present occupant of the throne
Despite the obstacles placed in his way
rs the rivalry of Stolypin and Of the
latter's colleagues, KOkovtzoff mas man
AGED during the last five years TO main
tain the equilibrium Of the budget. This
too. Notwithstanding the war with
Japan, the rebellion in the Caucasus,
bad haryests famine and epidemics
both OF bubOnic plague and cholera.
Moreover. he has succeeded in restoring
MuscOvitc credit al home and abroad to
such IN extent that imperial government
bonds have an average quotation Of 90
per cent. very high figure, indeed. when
one bears in mind all that mas been
printed by experts Of political economy
native a. well as foreign 10 the effect
that Russia was confronted by bank
rUptcy not only impending, but also in
evtable
Perhaps The best Illustration Of the
confidence which he has enjoyed, both
"a home and abroad. is the fact that the
publication of every rumOr Of his resig-
nation % the post Of Minister OF Finance,
owing 20 his perpetual dissensions with
Premier Stolypin. resulted in marked
drop in the quotations Of Russian Sc
curities. Under the circumstances ii is
matter for consramlation that he
should have decided " retain his Office

where he had been present at the as
sassination Of the Japanese Prince Ito,
at Hardin, Nicholas, instead OF accord
ing TO him one or two audiences. which
is about as much as ministers see Of
their sovereign when summoned from
the canital 10 make their official reports,
vas invited every day throughout his
prolonged stay 10 luncheon and TO din
ner, en- famille, alone with the imperial
couple and their children In addition
to this, he was the solitary companion
of the Emperor in a number Of the lat
ters long walks.
Compared to this, the reception ae-
corded to Premier Stolypin to Minister
of Foreign Affairs Izwosky and to the
Minister Of War, General Suchomlinoff
when they visited Livadia was dis
tinctly cold

HIS SOCIAL POSITION.

Kokovtzoff belongs 10 the petty nobil-
ity of the Province Of Novgorod. He was
reared at the Emperor Alexander Ly-
ceum, at st. Petersburg; is happily mar
ried to a Mile. Anne Oehm and is a pop
ular figure in court circles and IN 81
Petersburg society. In fact, he Is a
much more genial and sociable man than
who was too imperious, too
terribly in earnest, too opinionated' ever
TO become a favOrite in the great world
Of the Russian capital. He resembled in
many,particulars Germany's Iron Chan
celor and was often described as the
Bismarck of Russia.
OF course, speculation is rife as 10 the
identity of the new Minister OF Foreign
Affairs, for the resignation Of Sassanon'
who has been absent six months from his
post on account OF Illness, and VINO is
only slowly convalescing from very
grave operation, is a foregone concur
sion. now that his brother-in-law, Stoly-
min. is dead and that his chief rival has
become Premier in his stead. II would
be fortunate for the United states II the
rumors were realized, according to which
the new Minister Of Foreign Affairs will
be Baron Won Rosen, now in this coun-'
try for the purpose Of presenting his let
ters OF recall to Presidept Taft, and OF
bidding farewell TO his many friends
here. after having spent five years at
Washington as Ambassador Of Russia.

Waldemar Kokovtzoff Is
To Be Stolypin's Successor

In view Of this rivalry between the
two statesmen. cit is, to say the least
an irony of tate that they should have
been standing talking together when
Stolypin was shot, and that the latter
should have sunk into the arms Of Ko-
kovtzoif, who within an hour after
ward was appointed by the Emperor
10 act for the present in his place as
Prime Minister of Russia.
Kokovtzoh has for years past en-
joyed to a far greater degree than
Stolypin or any other Muscovite states
man the favor not only Of the Gar
but also Of the two Expresses and Of
most of ;hc members of the imperial
family. Two years ago, while in Liva-
dia, after his return from Manchuria.

at the head of the treasury in conjunc-
ton with the Premiership.
The title of Minister Of Finance con-
veys little idea of the power and Of the
extent OF the authority enjoyed by
Kokovtzoff Thus, the government drink
monopoly. which yields a revenue to the
treasury Of no less than S1OO.000.OW,
has been under his control. The Gus
toms also have been under his rule, and
in connection Herewith he has eXer-
cised supreme command over the So
called frontier guards. a military corps
especially enrolled for the protection Of
the many thousands of miles Of Russian
coast line and frontier against SNUG
gers, and, incidentally, against the pas
sage Of any one across the borders with
out being equipped with the necessary
papers.
All new railroad projects and conces-
sions have had 20 be officially investl-
gated by him and receive his approval
before being issued, while the two great
railroads of the Far East, namely, the
Trans Caucasian and the Translperlan
lines. have been entirely under his direc-
ton. Still another responsibility which
has rested upon his shoulders has been
that Of sanctioning the loans contracted
either al home or abroad, not merely by
the state, but also by the municipalities
Of the various towns and cities. No city
or town could borrow without his con-
sent, and that once given the loan has
been virtually guaranteed by the state
Kokovtzoff has always denied that the
Russian government needed any money
from sthe foreign money markets, Dut' OF
course. has welcomed the invasion OF
foreign capital. especially American and
English for gold mining, railroad build
ing and other ENTERPRISES

TONOPAH 70"
IS RUSHING
SHAFT WORK

Development at the ground of the
Tonopah "76" Consolidated is be-
ing intelligently and industriously
pushed, and the shafts being sunk
on two of the company's claims
have reached a depth of more than
30 feet, and now passing through
an andesitic wash. The main work
ing shaft which will be started
about the 18th inst, will be located
on the "76" claim, at a point very
close to the rhyolitic bikes which
so prominently mark the surface
near the center of the claim. These
bikes are heavily mineralized, carry
spotted values running as high as
$40 to the ton in gold and silver
and with depth will probably prove
one of the walls of the lodges which
are believed to abound in that ter
ritory.
As has been repeatedly stated in
the Bonanza, the re is practically
home company composed of some
of Tonopah's best and most promin-
ent citizens, men who thoroughly
appreciate the value of the ground
they are developing, and in promot-
ing their enterprise and in pushing
work only the most conservative
methods have been employed. That
they will prove successful in their
project is the belief and hope of
the entire community.

Harry Waldron, juror in the case,
broke out of his room in hotel
here early yesterday, eluded two
deputy marshals set to guard the
Jurors and escaped
The first news of the jurors es-
cape came from T. Holloway and
Frank Jasper, deputy marshals. who
found the trGnsom torn away from
the door of the room Waldron had
occupied. The deputies carried the
keys of all the rooms occupied
by the jury Waldron was no.
where to be seen. A force or dep
uties was sent Immediately in pur-
suit.
When the news of Waldrons dis
appearance was carried to the court
room just before time for court
to convene, attorneys for both sides
Immediately went into conference
to determine the effect of the Incl
dent on the case.
Prosecutor Conkling. said the
state would at once start an in

Domestic trouble is said to have
caused Waldron to grow restless un-

owned and conducted a dairy farm

November 20 Waldrons sudden ill
ness caused an adjournment of
court. December l Waldron' S
physician pronounced him able to
serve and the trial was resumed.
Waldron's indipsosition was at
that time pronounced due to his
worry over home affairs.
To prevent his roommate and
fellow juror, G.. w. Palmer, from
upsetting his plans, Waldron con-
structed dummy man of bed

Last night Sheriff Malley, his dep
uties, Slavin and Santos, and Chief
of Police Smith, raided the Cali
fornia Beer Hall for yiolators of
the gambling law and caught Sam
Umas and L. L. Isaacs at a game
OF cards, but had no money in
sight. They were placed under ar
rest They then proceeded to the
Big Casino and broke down a
door leading into one of the rooms
of the building and arrested three
men setting at a table playing a
game of cards. The men arrested
were: C. T. Brown, Ed Uren and
Jim 10 10. There was no money
upon the table, only checks, the
same as used in playing stuff. The
five men We're taken before Judge
II. II. Atkinson this morning and
released upon each giving a $500
bond for his appearance before the
Judge this afternoon, the bond was
quickly furnished. There never
could be a conviction in these cases
as no money was in evidence, al.
though a few dollars was found in
a table drawer in the next room
where the arrest occurred
At 3 o'clock this afternoon the
men arrested appeared before Judge
atkinson. G. T. Brown, from Gold
field, pleaded guilty to a misde-
mearpr charge and will be sentenced
tomorrow morning. To the onlook-
