NOTICING WHAT ONE SEES
The Principle Of the Pendulum, sus.
gested to Calico by Simple
Incident.

Another very beautiful example of
the way in which some Of the most
valuable truths of philosophy have
been suggested for the first time by
the simplest incidents of common life
is afforded by Galileo's discovery of
the regularity of oscillation in the
pendulum.
1t was while standing one day in the
Metropolitan church at Pisa that his
attention was first awakened to this
important fact by observing the move
ments of lamp suspended from the
ceiling, while some accident had dis
turbed and caused to vibrate. Now
this, or something exactly similar, was
phenomenon which, of course, every
one had observed thousands of times
before. But yet nobody had ever view
ed 1t with the philosophic attention
with which it was on this occasion ex-
amined by Calico. Or If, as possibly
was the case, anyone had been half
unconsciously struck for moment by

PAINTER ELIMINATES TAFT
Presidents Name Is Brought In Lori
mer Case for First Time by
Kentucky Senator.

Washihgton.-For the first time
since the debate in the senate in
the case of Senator William Lorimer
of Illinois began mention was made Of
the reported interest of the president
In the unseating of that senator.
The reference was by Senator
Paynter Of Kentucky. who was a mem
Der of the subcommittee which made
the investigation into the charges.
Declaring the question to be judi
cial one, Mr.. Paynter said:
Il did not approach the investiga-
ton with any feeling or thought that
the country demanded a victim to APP
pease its wrath. or that any member
of this body, If such a demand was
made. would subsequently yield to it:
neither did suppose that sacrtflcal
Offering would be made of the accused
senator to satisfy popular demand.
nor did suppose it was necessary to
do SO to give character and standing
to the administration"
Having brought the president into
the discussion, the Kentucky senator
professedly undertook to eliminate
him from it. Referring to the fire.
quent assertion in the public press that
the president is using his personal, If
not his official, influence against Mr..
Lorimer, Mr.. Paynter said he desired
to resent the imputation against the
president.

u. S. AIDS DIAz TO END WAR
Troops Ordered to Four Texas Towns
to Stop Smuggling Of Arms
to Rebels.

Washington. - Arrangements were
made Tuesday through the department
of state, the war department and the
department Of justice for the United
States to end the revolution in Mex
leo.
This action was taken at the In
stance of representatives of American
f1nanciers having large investments in
the republic of Mexico and comes
after the Mexican government, through
its diplomatic representative here, Am
bassador De La Barra, has failed ut
terly to get any response to Its repre-
sensations that the revolution is being
fostered by the violation of neutrality
laws that prohibit the shipping from
one country to another of arms and
munitions of war to be used against
the constituted government Of that
country.
Orders were issued to move United
States troops, with pack trains, from
Fort Sam Houston to Brownsville, La
redo. Eagle Pass and Del Rio, on the
Mexican border. These troops will
patrol the border from Brownsville to
ri Paso to prevent further shipments
of arms and ammunition to the Mexi-
can revolutionists from their agents in
the United States.
The Mexican embassy was notified
that the trops would be dispatched at
once to the four points specified on the
Rio Grande.
II the troops ordered to move are
found insufficient additional forces will
be provided. as once in action the Uni
ted States will proceed aggressively to
put an end to the smuggling that has
been going on in violation Of the neu-
trality laws

TAFT FORBlDS WAR.
SENDS ORDER TO HAITI AND SAN
DOMINGO TO STOP
QUARREL.
PRoTEcToRATE GIVES RIGHT
United States Guarantees Dominican
Debt and Has Power to Inform Hal
tians They Cannot Interfere With
American Interests.

Washington That there must be no
war between Haiti and San Domingo
was the peremptory order issued by
President Taft Tuesday night to the
American minister at San Domingo.
This is the first time that such an
order has ever gone from the White
House. The order is made possible
by the fact that the United States, by
guaranteeing San Domingo's debt to
European nations, made Of that repub-
lie protectorate of this government.
and consequently gave the United
States the power to tell Haiti that she
cannot interfere with American politi-
cal institutions In San Domingo.
The acs Of the president with regard
to San Domingo and Haiti illustrates
what will be the effect of the establish
ment of the proposed moral and finan-
cial protectorate over Honduras. With
ten millions Of American money invest
ed in Honduras and with the conven-
ton recently signed by Secretary
Knox and the minister Of Honduras.
the president can, when the occasion
demands. forbid either Guatemala or
Nicaragua to attack Honduras and for
bid hostilities at any time between
Honduras and any Central American
state.
San Domingo and Haiti have been
quarreling forever a year about a
frontier line. San Domingo claimed the
right to extend one of her roads across
the traditional border, and this brought
up the old question Of the frontier.
Both nations armed for the conflict
and sent troops to the scene of trouble.
The president offered his good Of
fees. There were some perfunctory
acknowledgements Of the favor. but
the armies remained in camp.
