Tho Oceans Not Level

Even standards are not al
ways standards in this world.
In geography we are accus.
toned to measure all attitudes
by sea-level. But what 10 sea-

Sir John Murray, the distin-
guished geogrspher and geolo.
gist, who is lecturing before the
Lowell Institute in Boston on
oceanography, tell us that the
surface of the seas is not level.
For instance the attraction of
the enormous mass of the Him.
alaya Mountains upon the wa
tiers of the Indian Ocean is 80
great that the surface of the
Bay of Bengal at the Northern
end is three hundred feet high.
er than the surface is at the IL.
land of Ceylon. Similarly the
attraction of the mass of the
Andes upon the Pacific is 80
great that on the Western coast
Of South America the waters
are heaped up two Thousand
feet higher than they are at the
Hawaiian Islands. Of course,
as these attractions are per.
manent their consequences are
permanedt.
The Pacific at Panama is thus
really somewhat higher than
the Atlantic at Colon. But as
Stunning that such is the fact,
for the sake of illustration, were
the lsthmus rent apart, never
theless no deluge would flow
from the Pacific into the Allan.

t,lassing the waters in the Pa
cific would be unaffected.
Therefore for practical pur
poses the oceans are level; but
in reality they are not. A ship
sailing from Honolulu TO Callao,
Peru, must ascend height OF
two thousand feet. A steamer
leaving Colombo, Ceylon, for
Calcutta, goes up hill three
hundred feet high.

Jim and George

Ossss SssS ~SSs $3S
Jim works in shop aud lives
at home with his wife and
children.
He wears overalls at his work,
and his hands are calloused
and grimy.
George is travelling man.
When Jim walks home past the
hotel where George sits, smil-
ing, behind polished plateglass
windows, with white collar and
cuffs, freshly creased trousers,
nicely parted hair and q clean
shave. Jim is likely to think
that George has an ideal life.
But George, poor lonely devil,
would give half his salary and
all his expense money if he
could hustle home like Jim, and
spend the evening with his
family.
Jim has more real fun when
little Jim crawls on his knee
and whispers that he wants a
10 cent football like Billy Wat
sons than George ever had in
the finest hotel in the land.
Many a George sits hour af
ter hour gazing at the passing
throng, speaking when spoken
to, probably about subjects in
which he hasn't the least inter.

to read the newspapers, when
his thoughts are far, far away,

MUSIC IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.


 There Is no stronger advocate os music taught in our public fchocis than Ernest Gamble, the distinguish cd basso, who probably owes the be- ginning os his musioal career 10 g stern and conscientious singing mas ter in a Pennsylvania school MT Gamble did not come Of a musical family and. when he entered tne high school he knew nothing of mas ic and he was not even conscious of the glorious organ in his throat Vo cal music was obligatory and a part of the regular curriculum and when Ernest was singled out to rise be- fore the school and try few bars Of sight reading, he refu ed On tlie ground that he could not sing and that he did not want to mcke an ex. hibition of himself The principal sent him home. but Ernest, after an intense interview with his father, re- turned determined to grapple with flats and sharps. For week, the di- plomatic principal gave him private lessons until his embarrassment should wear of and then placed him among the ba ses, where his voice at once attracted attention and where he wss soon the leading voca. ist Thus was MT. Gamble's voice accidentally discovered and brought to notice and 1t was not long until he was placed under the very fore most European masters. Mir.

 resolution which would declara his seat vacant. and ths. if the matter comes to a vote the result will be Lorimer victory.
 Senator Beveridge is expected to make a long speech in answer to Mfr. Lorimer. How much time the senate will be willing to give to tbis subjec. remains to be seen
 It is not impossible that Lori mers opponents may be able to prevent the matter coming to a vote before adiournment. It was said today this was the plan which he anti-Lorimer people would try 10 csrry out
 Mr Lorimer reviewed today prac- lically all of the charges which have been made against him. His statement was in the nature both of testimony and of pieading He devoted his attention entirely to the arguments of opposing senators. He explained his dem 5cratic sun rort on the grounds of lonc stand ins personal friendshiDs for himself and of his antipafy for Senator Hopkins. who was his Fincinal sn- tagonist in the senatorial cor.est
 In the fermer connection. he re- lated more than one stosr going 10 show attachment running over many years. This portion of the address appealed strongly to the feelingsly of the senators but when Senator Crawford intimated that .ra ulintis senator was making a lid for sympathy. he resented the inrutation and turned the upostion 10 his own advantage by saying his only purpose was to ses before the senate the truth It was not a matter Of symnasby he said, but of right ard wrong.
 NIr Lorimer undertook also 10 show that his advocacy Of the Lakes to the Gulf waterway had caused many members Of the leg isiature to be partial to him. He said he made an effort 10 induce Governor Deneen % become a can didate 10 break the senatorial dead- lock, and, he declared. that if De reen had been so inclined he should have elected Hoqkins by thro.sing his vote to him.
 One CT two allusions were made to the prosecution of the casc. ard his enemies were referred to as 'assassins Of character There were occasional pointed references tc the speeches Of opposing sena- tors. Messrs. Root and Crawford. coming in for esreeiatr attention.
 Mir. Lorimer asserted emphaticaI Y that no; only had he not .sed money to influence his election. but that on his honor he knew of none having been so employed.
 Besides Senator Beveridge. there was a general expectation that oth- CT senators will ask to be heard and 1t is predicted tha. the aft. ermath' of the Lorimer speech will te quite as interesting as ths speech itself Among the specta. tors. society as known in Wash lngton was out in force. Mrs. Taft and a party occupied seats in .he executive gallery and the diplomatic gallery was filled with represent atiyes Of the various nations.
